Thanks. I had a look (I thought Tracy was being all "temple of the body" on us then, talking of eating only God's sweet potatoes from the Earth :-)

Anyway: BARF!! That sounds horrible. Coconut shreds I'm not fond of, nor bitter dark chocolate (I only like milk or white). And marshmarrow in the middle???

>I had to look that one up ( http://www.candyfavorites.com/Idaho-Spud-pr-2136.html?gclid=CNG6l9GZkY0CFRDaYgod4lnhpQ ) as I had never heard of it. And if you met me, you wouldn't think that there was any candy bar I hadn't met. <g> Where did you come across that one?

>>>Ah, so the 3 are work, rest and play? Or the 3 constituents to the bar? I thought it may be that cos they did the same in the UK reduced the size.
