wikkid... so, all we need to do, is:
1. carefully remove the coloured sugar coating
2. scrape away enough chocolate to get to the peanut
3. remove the peanut
4. grind it up in a mortar and pestle till it's the consistency of butter
5. pipe the "peanut butter" back inside the chocolate
6. mould the chocolate back in place
7. repair the sugar shell
...child's play... literally...

Yep...and before the peanut butter M&M's, there were Reeses Pieces...which I know you don't have, but might, in the near future, since I've heard that they've finally decided to send the Reeses Peanut Butter Cups your way...I could just about eat a whole bag full of the mini ones, all by myself...

Haha!! WE have Reeses pieces... but they're not as good as Peanut Butter M&M's - which we DON't have (except in "care packages" from caring souls
) Written by: Doc Lightning talking about Marmite in Kichi's Intro thread
I have several large jars of the stuff. I actually like it... a little. And don't tell anyone I admitted to it.

Ye, I agree...I could only eat the Reeses Pieces mixed with the M&M's...just didn't taste much like peanut butter...

Ye, Gidg...Pat can't get on HoP from work, anymore...stupid IT nazis...and his at-home connection is dodgy, at best...ergo the long hiatus of HoPping...plus, he got himself a new zoom-zoom and it's hard to spin fire and keep a bike upright...who knew? *giggle*

dodgy connections are such a pain, you have to laugh or you would cry. I've heard about the IT nazis but I never met one ... yet. I might become one though. Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.

George, that happens when you have a very busy job.

OI ewe!! wot wood ewe no about that? *grrrrrr at Rouge*
Yes Super Gidg, I guess. It probably doesn't need to be a busy job, but when there's only you and your boss doing it and lots of customers asking for things well one kinda feels responsible to make them happy - which takes up lots of time.
Dragons don't understand about responsibility, hence the flip comments

Yerrr, I noticed - in OZ women are the things that get tied to the kitchen sink and sheep are the things that get shut in the bedroom.

not unless it's a robot sheep - it is white but not so soft and cuddly as a sheep.
*wonders if mentioning cuddly in relation to sheep could be too provocative a mental image for the Ozz-trar-lee-anns*

A waterproof robot sheep, I'd hope.
It conjures up rather concerning mental images. We worry about our animal-loving cousins on the east island.
