I always forget what they're called but i love them. And the carmels. And the purple candy sticks (yes - just the purples) and (I know you and Amanda will hate me for this) but the marzipan ones. They make me happy. Yum Yum Yum.<br /><br />And on the "white chocolate" tip, in culinary circles its referred to as "white silk" because there is no chocolate involved whatsoever. Just sugar, eggs, and cream. SO *half* of your wish is my command because its just a matter of changing popular perception, not actual classification.<br /><br />I pledge 5 letters, a blog post, 3 tweets and a Facebook notes on the subject.

But samandholly reminded me of my adoration for ganache, so now my head is just spinning.<br /><br />Personally, I just call white chocolate "bleccchhh," so that's my nomination. <br /><br />I will write multiple letters to your congressperson, and I will write them in all caps with a sharpie marker. We should really frame it as an anti-socialist movement ("those liberals are subverting chocolate, just like they are subverting capitalism!"), I think we'd make more headway. He can get together with my rabid, slavering congressperson, who would also be taken in by any Glenn-Beck-ish type conspiracy theory.colleeeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208875996540107651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651110500363613502.post-91119275472176623822009-09-04T07:33:55.589-07:002009-09-04T07:33:55.589-07:00sadly, i don't think i've ever had See'...sadly, i don't think i've ever had See's candy...but any combo of chocolate & caramel is a winner in my book! ;0)Mama Skateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10759832371415292719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651110500363613502.post-56680630515159718212009-09-04T02:24:31.897-07:002009-09-04T02:24:31.897-07:00Rachel, I have an interesting proposition for you....Rachel, I have an interesting proposition for you. I will answer every question you asked, except I don't have a favorite See's Candy because I don't believe I've ever bought anything there. So rather than throw me out of the contest, can I be the winner instead so I can stop living a deprived life? You could send me all your favorites, and then they would surely be my favorites too! And everyone needs one more favorites buddy! (p.s. I'm amazing with Bill Murray quotes - "Ahoy! I sail!")<br /><br />So here we go. <br />White Chocolate should be called Divinity, and Divinity should be called White Foam. That gives two misnamed treats appropriate names.<br />I pledge to write 8 letters for the letter writing campaign, because 8 is my favorite number. (I picked it as a little girl because that was the age I could be baptized. But then it turns out I was baptized three days before my 8th birthday, but 8 has remained my favorite number because 7 is an odd number and I'm an even numbers kind of girl).<br /><br />You should know I have a U.S. address, so there is no problem with outrageous overseas shipping.<br /><br />Thanks for your consideration!Bronwyn Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00598438371011694425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651110500363613502.post-55796509751052679732009-09-03T22:45:28.329-07:002009-09-03T22:45:28.329-07:00A correction to the "correction": Becaus...A correction to the "correction": Because paste (best name ever) doesn't contain cocoa solids, it ISN"T chocolate.

Oh my. I need chocolate. Please hold. <br /><br />Okay, I've been thinking about the white chocolate business. In fact, I have also never understood why they think they're tricking you when they name it white chocolate. I like the French term idea, but since I don't know French I really can't compete that way. But I could use Italian, which makes everything sound romantic. How about "latte bianche". It just means white milk, but at least we're not claiming it's chocolate. Wendy, I'm totally copying you. I'm sorry. It's just that I am not creative myself.Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765577345097519255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651110500363613502.post-87336089182974947902009-09-03T16:28:10.885-07:002009-09-03T16:28:10.885-07:00Milk chocolate covered caramels - no nuts. I also...Milk chocolate covered caramels - no nuts. I also like the milk Chocolate covered Molasses chips. I actually went over to the See's website to remind myself of my choices and I notice that they never once refer to white chocolate. They leave it out of their descriptions entirely. How about we start calling white chocolate "Cire Blanche" a very loosely translated french term for "white wax"? Nothing like using French terms for ingredients in the tradition of "ganache" and "bechamel".Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703504627514627187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651110500363613502.post-3222375895418084292009-09-03T16:19:55.683-07:002009-09-03T16:19:55.683-07:00If I was a fan of See's candies at all I would...If I was a fan of See's candies at all I would jump on this free giveaway, but alas, my love of chocolates stops at a candy bar. Anything fancier than a Snickers doesn't wet my appetite. However, I'll admit that I've been able to semi-enjoy the little round ones with caramel in them. Simple is the way I go. That's my two cents.

When I used to work at the mall my manager would give me money to go get her a California brittle. Then she'd tell me to pick something out for myself. The See's ladies got to know me pretty well. They'd just look at me and ask "the usual?". Now we have a See's right across the street. How dangerous is that? <br />As far as the white chocolate goes I'd have to agree, it's not chocolate.

But I am a huge fan of your attempt to be like PW. Look at you reaching out to your fans with chocolate. I have no name for white chocolate, because I don't think it should exist. My favorite sees is also the California brittle, but I have always called it the brickle (sp?) bar. I just might have to stop at see's on my way home today. And I'm not sure if you remember how I single-handedly got you hundreds of illegal votes in the blog awards (even though they took 'em away...still bitter).
