Title: Cherry Mash
Post by: oldspice on January 02, 2011, 04:43:06 pm: On a short break in London I visited Cybercandy on the way to the theatre. I had always wanted to try a Chery mash - and there they were - ion a box on the shelf looking very inviting so I bought one.

YUK! Sweet and cloying - a horrible texture - a revolting taste. All I can say is that if this is a great American classic I dread to think of how some other American chocolate tastes.

The whole thing is quite big - bigger than a creme egg and much too sickly to eat in one go. It's supposed to be an American classic and I've wanted to try one for years - but I won't repeat the experience!

It was - brace yourself - Cheese Kitkat.

yes - Cheese KitKat.

The dirty bastards.
