I'm with the people who posted Choc-Peanut Butter ice-cream.
I also adore Peanut Butter M&Ms, but they only come in tiny packets here, and there are only 2 places I know of that sell them. But they cost a fortune.
And marzipan, made into little fruits and things for Christmas. YUM!

Am I only one thinking that us 'merkins need to send a care package to gaasc and Misrabelle?
I have no problems finding Smarties and Peanut Butter M&Ms here in the States. Maybe in the spirit of the season...?

Yep, and the place closest to me that stocks them is a good 2+ hour drive one way.
Lucky for me it's about 5 minutes away.
Though the first place I knew was other side of town.

Sometimes you can luck out and get imported chocolates at those dodgy $2 shops

It's a lamington; basically a chocolate coated sponge/buttter cake covered with coconut sprinkles.

We have strict importation laws that prohibit pretty much everything.

When the latest Transformers movie was out, did you get a chance to try the strawberry peanut butter M&Ms? They are basically a peanut butter M&M and the chocolate/candy shell has a hint of strawberry.
It sounds odd, but they taste like a peanut PB&J sandwich...and they were really tasty!
Way better than the coconut M&Ms anyways...

I did.
Being Aussie, peanut butter and jam has never really been an appealing mix for me - just like most Americans can't stomach Vegemite, but once you got about half way through the pack, they weren't actually too bad.
I think I'll stick to my regular PB M&Ms though.
Coconut M&Ms?? Ugh.
Here in the major stores we only have choc, peanut, minis, and crispy varieties.

The crispy ones are hard to find here (we get almond maybe instead) but the coconut were a Walgreen's (pharmacy/mini grocery store chain) exclusive I happened to come across. Give me an Almond Joy or a Mounds any day of the week.

What colors are M&Ms in Oz anyway, if you have food coloring bans?

We can get almond ones in the same places that the peanut butter ones are available, but still in a 46.2g or 1.63OZ pack.
Our M&Ms come in brown, yellow, red, orange, blue and green. The minis also have a pink colour. But the most common colour is blue.

I think I just discovered the real reason that South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford kept making those secret trips to Argentina.
