I thought the same thing as you did, Mel! Smarties in the US are those overly sweet/sour fruity flavors of compressed powdered sugar, in a pill-like shape. :D

Our smarties are coloured, candy coated disc shaped chocolate, yes, M and M style (M and M's used to be Treats here. I love peanut Treats SO much, I wouldn't dare buy any) You also made our Marathon bars into Snickers! still taste good tho' :)
MMMmmmm. No! wouldn't fancy a smartie Mcflurry your side either ;)

Meliora,
Thanks for the condolence. I have not been too into holidays but did enjoy some Godiva chocolate covered strawberries. The smarties in UK sound much better than the ones here in US!

Karyn, sadly I do eat smarties, but never in ice cream! heehee! :) I have a major sweet tooth!

Helen, I think the food in the UK is of MUCH better quality than in the US. I actually am excited when I can find/buy food from Europe. It is healthier!!! Almost everything here is full of hydrogenated oils and million other strange ingredients!

Janet, you are welcome. Losing family is so very difficult. :(
Your Godiva strawberries sound absolutely divine!
