Does anyone know a place in Taipei that sells these nice chocolate candy bars?

I’ve never seen them anywhere; not at Jason’s, not at Breeze Center’s supermarket, not at Carrefour, not at RTMart…

Here’s a pic of the Mars bar (or Google ‘mars bar’ or something…)

Nup… never seen them in TPE before.

Good thing I’m going back to Australia on Tuesday for a month. haha… mmmmm…

They had them several years ago but now I’ve no idea … Nuts and Twix is the closest you can get … they even had Mars ice cream bars back than …

What I wouldn’t give for a right now.

Taster’s carries a small selection of U.S. junk food, the store being directly south of the Taipei American School in Tianmu. Perhaps they’ll have what you’re looking for.

Tel. 2871-4678

I’d have to check that store some time, cranky laowai.

In the meantime I found out you can order them at Amazon.com. It depends how much I despair before I place an order…

Snickers don’t beat Mars!

And I have to add: the Mars I’m used to is the UK product (there’s also a Mars from USA, slightly different)

8

Now, why would you want Mars or Bounty when at every 7-11 you can buy a Guts candy bar?

Where do they come up with these names anyway?

9

I have had to settle for Twix or Snickers here … not bad, but the variety is lacking a bit.

Have any of you seen PayDays here? How about Sour Patch Kids?

10

could anyone find now Mars or Bounty?
possibly at that store in Tienmu?
pls let me know.

quick update:
Wendel’s Bakery in Tienmu has Bounty.
I just got some there yesterday :slight_smile:
yummy

Ok, it might not be what you wanted, but if you run down to Carrefour right now, you might be lucky and find some tootsie rolls, they had a bunch of different kinds in the one here in Taoyuan anyhow and they also had bags of mixed hershey’s chocolate, the plain, crunchy, dark and something else as well as hershey’s almond bars.
Good luck

哇!!!

Marks & Spencer in Taipei has a chocolate bar that is 99% like a Mars bar!!! I just found this out this evening. I already thought the illustration on the packaging was sooo similar to Mars, so I had to try.

They are of the Marks & Spencer brand in orange brown wrapping similar to Mars. On it is written “milk chocolate caramel”. 39nt$, 55g. My prayers have been heard…
