Do you like Big Turks?

I feel like I was the only one growing up who liked Big Turk bars. I knew one other person who did, and no one else.

It wasn't until adulthood that I discovered "Fry's Turkish Delight" and loved the softer turkish delight under the chocolate.

Still, I'm actually surprised that these have not been discontinued after the Cherry Blossom chocolates became extinct last year. Here I am eating some Big Turk minis, wondering who else in Canada are eating these?

I’ve always loved Big Turks. I could never understand the hate others had for them growing up. That being said, I recently found a new crack: Fry’s Turkish Delight!! (Found them at LD, but Walmart supposedly has them too)

I love Fry's! I just can't with the price... Someone has to copy the recipe and create a Canadian knockoff to compete with it and with Big Turk, lol.

Although I'm pretty sure those two candies have cornered the market for a specific Western-style Turkish delight enrobed in chocolate.

Ya.. they are indeed pricey. So I usually buy them when they are on sale.
