I like many See's offerings, but above all I find the dark chocolate almonds irresistible. I'm facing an interesting problem: going to Belgium in two weeks where one finds delectable chocolates. But are they worth 3 to 5 times the price of the See's varieties? Perhaps reflecting my insensitivities: I think not, decidedly.

So many yummy choices. As odd as it sounds I've use to like their sugar sticks but I haven't seen those in years.

These days I'm partial to dark chocolate chews and molasses chips. They really need to open more airport kiosks with individual candies for sale -- the whole buy a box, eat a box on the flight mentality has not done well for me.

Peanut Crunch also gets my vote! Pecan buds would be a close second.

I love their little round milk chocolate balls. Sometimes the simplest things are best.

Glad I started this thread. So many of your faves I've never heard of, but maybe I've had. I dunno. It's not like each one comes labeled.

I won't be at SFO till first of November; I'll have to swing by the kiosk.

I second the truffles, and the round milk balls.
Dark chocolate covered raisins are great to kill time during the delays at SFO.

My faves in no particular order:

-- the rum raisin nougat
-- lollypops (vanilla, I like least)
-- molasses chips

What are yours?

As a native Georgian and someone who has eaten peanut brittle since I was a baby, I am embarrassed to admit that having tried every brand I could get my hands on over the years, See's is the incontrovertible winner, both in the proportion of peanuts to candy and in the fact that unlike lesser brands, the brittle has a silken rather than sticky finish. I would even go so far as to describe See's version as elegant. Now if they would just return to Atlanta at Xmas as they did for years with a kiosk at Lenox Square!!!
