Ok, I'm getting fed up with the stores around me I can only find pumpkin spice and candy corn kisses. I found caramel apple candy corn, which are really good I'm almost willing to buy them off of ebay, but I think there would be a divorce in my near future

I know its such a PITA when you cant find what you want
Been there done that
Maybe closer to the Holidays they will all be out in your area ?
Sometimes thats the only times I see certain items is at Holiday time !

I just knew it... I knew it was going to happen. Fiddle was a lot nicer to me when there were things she wanted to know. I've told her all my secrets, now she's become abusive. Highway robbery with Hershy's Kisses... not trusting my baking... telling people I'm not a highly paid runway model!! Ok... that last one is true. I can't fault her for that. See, now I'm going to have to figure out some new tricks to hold over her and regain her servitude!!! Durn... this could take a while!

Hy Mel where ya been ??? Yes Im a meany Really was that ALL the secrets you have I wasent near done picking your pea brain yet ! Ok Yes pea brain was a little abusive, But you asked for it You must be busy with lots of orders ???
Ok Ok stop begging I will sell you and only you ( special buddy price ) a bag of kisses for the very cheap price of $ 35.00 Get them now Im sure they will be going up fast ! (Or be eaten )

I've been in some rather intensive emotional therapy, trying to reclaim my self esteem... thanks for the help! Hahahahaha.

No, I was out of town in a place where the internet won't even go... Missouri!! Hey, no offense, I'm just kidding! I'm just not used to not having an internet connection. It made me feel a little isolated while I was there. Fortunately I'm back home with my trusty laptop! And yes, before I get b*tch slapped... I know the internet exists in Missouri, just not in my sister's house. It's easier for her husband to keep her subservient if she can't communicate with outsiders. I'm kind of kidding... but I'm not sure how true that really is. He's a real piece of work. Don't get me started.

It's easier for her husband to keep her subservient if she can't communicate with outsiders.

Oh Gezzzzz!!! I hate people that are like that !
Did she at least have some cool cake stores in the area ?
Vanilla Coffee Cupcakes .. anyone try these yet ?

My dad lived in arkansas, but his step daughters lived in missouri and when they would go visit them he would always say he was going to misery (he didn't like it there very much ) He could never get phone reception there. When he passed away his wife moved there and everytime I talk to her I can hear him say that

Yep, I call it Misery too. Less to do with the actual state than the man who's house I am going to. But, if you wanna see sis, you gotta deal with him. And I looooove her!

We missourians sometimes refer to it as "misery" as well , but I do love it here! Where in Mo were you Mel?

I hope I get to make these, it's hard to find things here sometimes at the commissary on base in Germany. I will have to research where to get vanilla bean.

And I'm jealous because I've never heard of all these special kisses that everybody's getting. We have plain, almond, and dark chocolate. That's it! I may have to have my mom ship me some!

Last point, there is nothing wrong with we Missourians. I was born and raised there and I had internet access, even in my small town that I was raised in!!!

Jen! What small town in MO? Gotta love the small town life! I wouldn't have it any other way....although hubby may be getting transferred to ALABAMA!!!! Trying to deal with that possibility.....

I think it was "misery" to my dad because he didn't get along with his stepdaughters and his phone didn't work, so he couldn't call any of us

Our Target has all kinds of versions of candy corn. Smores, Fruity....

I'm in Canada and don't get any of this stuff! It drives me nuts hearing about coffee creamer flavours and now Kisses that I didn't know existed ... sounds like a trip of cross-border shopping may be in order before the Christmas season is upon us. lol

I feel for you fellow Canadian! I'm California now and they've put AlphaBits back on the shelves so now there's NOTHING I can't get here! OK, well, St-Hubert BBQ sauce but that's another story...

Costco sells vanilla beans here in Cali if anyone is still looking. I'll have to go see if I can find those kisses in bulk. Then let the bidding begin!

We have GOT to set up an exchange program! You know, a trusted group of people that will send the items to those who can't get them, only the actual cost plus actual shipping. In other words, not like a store trying to make money, just one friend doing another friend a favor.

And no offense to the Missourians... I love Missouri. Seriously, it's just my BIL that I don't care for. And they used to have internet, but like I said, it's easier to keep her cut off without it, so... ya know. But she's been down there since I was like 12, and I always go down to visit several times a year. Man, do I have a way of pulling a thread off topic or what? Sorry!

Michelle, I'm from a town called Arcadia. It's about 100 miles southeast of St. Louis. I have also lived in and around St. Louis, Jeff City, Cape Girardeau, and Ft. Leonard Wood! That's where I met my hubby (he's in the Air Force).

I will get in on that exchange program, send bettercreme!!

Dawn

Alright!! I'm making these right now!! I hope they turn out good, but I'm sure they will!!

Well, the cupcakes are done..and I was a little disappointed They were very yummy, but I couldn't taste the coffee at all... well..very very faint. I even used espresso instead of just strong coffee!!! So I don't know what was up with that, but my grandma thinks maybe the coffee flavor will develop after the sit for awhile??? I don't know...thinking about somehow making the ganache be coffee-ish....Any suggestions???

Hey Sarsi,

Glad you hear you made the cuppies. I don't know when I'll get to make them because my DH's brother had a massive heart attack yesterday and they have got him in ICU right now because they had to put a tube in his head to drain the blood off his brain. I only stopped for a minute before we go back to the hospital. It is so sad because he has a 14 year old daughter so is so crazy about him. It's breaking my heart so if you could all pray for him I would appreciate it so much. Thanks everyone and so sorry about hijacking this forum.

Meemaw. Im so sorry ! Extra prayers comming your way, I hope it turns out ok.
Sarsi.. I was also wanting it to have a good coffee flavor. Maybe it was just to enhance the choc flavor ?

Meemawfish....Your family is definately in our prayers.

meemaw- so sorry to hear that. He is in our prayers.

Michelle, it is a small world, my brother lives in Herky! I wonder what the restaurant was, it has to be Ft. Davidson or Kozy Korner. he he

I will try to make the cuppies next week since I have a 3 day weekend I am going out of town this weekend.

Oooh, ooh, a hershey kiss exchange, what a great idea! I still can't find pumpkin spice and I tell you this preggo woman is going to have to pay e-bay prices.
