Cup o' Gold

You never know what you'll find at the 99 Cent Only Store. A couple years ago I actually found some shoe polish that dated back to 1973. Sometimes, you find something really good. A couple of days ago I found a Cup o' Gold in the checkout line for the low price of 3/99 cents. Cup o' Gold is a delicious chocolate candy cup that, according to the manufacturer's website, is an old California classic recently brought back onto the market. It's a big milk chocolate cup with a marshmallowey filling. The chocolate itself is big and thick, not the thin shell that covers a Reese's. The clever bit with it, though, is that the chocolate has bits of toasted coconut and almond in it. This makes it crunchier and gives it a richer flavor, which is a nice contrast to the gooey filling.

Now, I don't know if the fact that it was at the 99 Cent Only Store means that it's been discontinued or if that just means they've got a distribution deal there. But there it is. Try it out.
