scottobearOn several occasions I have come across this candy, called "Surreals." They tend to turn up as a single bag on the shelf in less-traveled Miami drugstores, and I always buy them, because they are odd, but quite tasty. (They are kind of like a round Kit-Kat. with chocolate and wafers mixed in together.)
So I decide to look them up, and of course they are from a Brazilian company, Garoto. I guess they don't have much US market penetration, since their website is only available in Portuguese. But thanks to the miracle of Google I can read the site in a strange, surreal translation.
"Surreal Peanut. It tries this newness!"
In other news, the rain has begun again, and I grow sleepy.
