Bay Area: Aida Opera Candies

A throw back to Grandpa Tony's 1947 business. This store is run out of Burlingame, Ca. I bought and ate the 8 oz sample box as well as several "foiled candies". It was all terrific. "Rocky Road" and "Crunchy Honeycomb" are worth the trip! (www.aidacandies.com)

Colts Bolts

Don't know is any of you have ever had one of these "peanut butter" cups, but the addition of almonds makes this a special treat. 2 oz is the perfect size for a mid-afternoon snack. Made in Nashville, TN., I found these in California. Sold in specialty stores. The website shoes other products I can't wait to try (www.coltschocolates.com).
