Old Candy Critic Articles - The 12 Candies of Christmas Part 8

I've decided to take down several old articles from the candycritic.org and re-post them here on the Candy Critic blog.  This article I've decided to re-post a little differently.  Since it's a special post for Christmas, the 12 days of Christmas in particular, I've decided to split it up into 12 parts and count down the days till the fat guy's going to bring me some sweet gifts.

'Tis the season to eat candy fa la la la la la la laaaaaa. As we all know Santa's Sack includes candy, and you know it's always what I want for Christmas. The question, with all of the Christmas candy out on the market, is which candy really says Christmas. Well in classic Candy Critic style we're going to tell you, and you better believe we're going to make it as cheesy as possible. Sooooooo.....

On the eighth day of Christmas (whenever that is) my true love gave to me......

One Giant Toblerone

I'm not to sure if this is really a Christmas treat all over the world, but here in Canada, it really means something. I mean it sure would make a great stocking stuffer and they have those giant ones for under the tree. But in Canada they mean something a little more. Several years ago a restaurant in Canada called Swiss Chalet (if your not from Canada and your visiting the Great White North, I suggest you try them) started something called the 'Festive Meal Deal', and each one came with a free Toblerone bar. I remember for years always wanting to visit, just so I could get my free bar. Well recently they changed the promotion, but for me the memory is still there.
