Description:

It's back by popular demand! Hehe, some people asked for another round of this so here it is.

So, the idea for this swap is that you send 1 partner a small selection of sweets/candies or chocolate that, for the most part, would only be found in your country. So for example, if you're in America, you might decide to send Hersheys goodies, if you're in Europe you may send Milka or Nestle, or if you're from the UK you could send Cadburys. I would advise on spending around £2.50/$5 on this, but if you want to spoil your partner, then do! There is no such thing as too much chocolate ;)

If you have any allergies then feel free to mention them in a comment below.

I don't like flakers, so only swappers with ratings of 4.9 or above and no recent no-sends please. As yet non-rated newbies are also welcome, but I do check the profile of everyone that joins, and I reserve the right to ban anyone that seems particularly dodgy.

When rating, please consider the fact that this is international so your package may take longer than usual to arrive.

I hope everyone enjoys! If there are any questions or queries then feel free to mention them in a comment below or just send me a message.

ETA - As SweetClementine has reminded me, this swap is for June, and most places are pretty warm by then. Be careful when sending chocolate and things that melt easily (maybe wrap them seperately), or just limit the amount of chocolate that you send. There's loads of other sweets you could send instead - be imaginative!

SweetClementine 04/15/2008 #

OH NO!!! I can't seem to resist a candy swap. :-) I am not picky about candies and will appreciate anything my partner sends. I LOVE to try new things!

I hate to say this, but please limit the amount of chocolate (if any) and wrap it separately if possible. It's HOT here in Texas by June, and the poor chocolates get pretty melty! Thanks!

hetty 04/16/2008 #

Oh, thanks for reminding me of that, SweetClementine - I meant to mention about summery weather in the description. I'll add a bit now :)

'Hi' to everyone that's joined so far!

Dagsmeja 04/20/2008 #

Hi! Thank's for letting me join the swap. Someone is gonna get a bunch of Swedish candies :)

RebeccaT 04/22/2008 #

OHH! I can't wait, I love to get chocolate.. even if its melted! And if you have rose or violet flavored candy in your area, please send them along!!!!

shoediva 04/24/2008 #

I'm allergic to peanuts,pistaccios and cinnamon. But I love any other kind of candy.

KawaiiKalia 04/25/2008 #

I'm REALLY allergic to kiwis. I don't like black licorice or walnuts. Otherwise, go crazy! =)

sharone 04/26/2008 #

I loved the last candy swap, I am definately up for another. It is actually winter in Australia, so chocolate IS FINE WITH ME!!

sailordoll 04/30/2008 #

Looking forward to this, I'm not keen on nuts, but anything else is welcome, I do love chocolate though!

yume 05/ 2/2008 #

I love chocolate and in my country is winter because this no problem send me chocolates ^^ If you can send me Hot Cocoa I loved, because my country don't have >.<" I don't like M&M's, Snickers, Twix because this mark make experiences on animals and I HATE THIS!!! I love Wonka's candies \o/

lalchee 05/ 3/2008 #

These candy swaps are hard to resist. :-)

I'm a vegetarian, so please nothing with gelatin(e), like marshmallows, Altoids, Skittles, U.S.-made Starburst (I think the U.K. Starburst is veggie, for some reason) or most gummies. Vegetarian gummies are most welcome. :-)

I really hate licorice and cinnamon-flavoured candy/gum. Anything else is great -- my profile has some ideas. :-)

hetty 05/ 5/2008 #

Hello to everyone else that's joined! We're in the Top Swaps again! Thanks to everyone for making this such a success again, I always have such fun with it :]

vanillabean 05/ 5/2008 #

I love these candy swaps! I am not too picky when it comes to chocolate or candy - whatever I don't like my husband or kids will! I really like anything mint and Fruit Pastilles from the UK.

BlairLycanridge 05/ 9/2008 #

Hi. I'm new and i would really love to join this swap. I swear i'm not a flake, and i promise i will send alot of candy! I havent sent anything before, and it seems all the swaps have to have a rating. But how do i get a rating if no one will let me swap. Can i please do this?

hetty 05/ 9/2008 #

Hi Blair :] You can join if you don't have a rating yet, I usually put that in the swap info, it must have slipped my mind this time.. I hope you'll join and have fun with your first swap :]

Northumberlandlass 05/ 9/2008 #

stitchinwitch 05/10/2008 #

I love almost anything (chocolate) except licorice, orange, toffee, pineapple and bananas. That said if pineapples, oranges or bananas are really big in sweets from your area my daughter and hubby will happily eat them. They don't like licorice or toffee either though.

jaeji 05/11/2008 #

patsypat 05/12/2008 #

Hi I'm from the Philippines and would love to join this swap. Just recently joined swap bot and have no ratings yet. Oh yes, i love candies but I don't eat chocolates.

MrsRankin 05/12/2008 #

In Australia in June it is winter, so the more chocolate the better!

I have on my profile my food likes and dislikes, so please read up on my allergies before shopping for me. Thanks.

macati 05/13/2008 #

MrsRankin 05/13/2008 #

I hate cinnamin flavoured anything. If you are from the US I love peanut butter m&m's.

gothicvampy 05/14/2008 #

Hello - very intresting swap! I love sweet things. I am a vegetarian, so please nothing with gelatin(e) in it (as wont be able to enjoy them, I also dont send anything in with this in). Also not very keen on Liquor or Alcohol in stuff. But love most other things - yummy swap! hugs

Skeevie 05/14/2008 #

Hi Gang... I'm brand new and this will be my first swap. Don't be bashful, feel free to let me know if I mess up. Just be gentle. ;)

Looking forward to the swap! Have a great day!

alohabeauti99 05/15/2008 #

I love candy & sweet swaps! I don't really care for white chocolate, lollypops, or black licorice. My favorites are: dark chocolate, truffles, unusual or weird candies, anything chocolate covered-dried fruit, cookies, gummies, sunflower seeds. I also like the gummies by themselves.

tlblake 05/15/2008 #

I love most candies, don't care for anything with coconut, or nuts or caramel. Love fruity candy and chocolate the best but live in AZ so chocolate will probably melt. love red and black vine licorice. Not Twizzlers. Love spearmint flavored candy too. :)

badkitty1782 05/15/2008 #

I love everything! No allergies or preferences here. :o)

carladallas 05/15/2008 #

I will be buying special treats when in Mexico, should be fun! That's "this part of the world" for me! I'm not crazy about coffee flavored, or dark chocolate.

debferguson 05/15/2008 #

Yum! I love chocolates and candy. Best news is its winter at my end of the world so no melting...

Dagsmeja 05/16/2008 #

I eat anything except candies with gelatine. Hope that's ok. Chocolate isn't a problem, it's not that hot in Sweden, yet..

hetty 05/16/2008 #

Ok everyone, profiles have been checked and partners have been assigned! I hope everyone has fun with the swap :]

bethluvs2quilt 05/20/2008 #

ElizabethJewelry - your package was mailed from VT! Enjoy!

jellybean5 05/20/2008 #

I like just about everything but especially enjoy gummies, nuts, coconut, peanuts, chocolate, and mint. Please nothing spicy (i.e. chile or other hot things).

Dibrittain 05/25/2008 #

summer here so stick to non melting candy.

arcticamy 05/27/2008 #

nothing melts where I live. SEND CHOCOLATE LOL!!!

blackbody 05/28/2008 #

Tejiendopalabras - I've sent my package this morning via airmail. Please expect it to arrive in two weeks at most. Enjoy! :)

arcticamy 06/21/2008 #

next time can I get someone from overseas and not the same continent? thanks.

hetty 06/22/2008 #

arcticamy - I can't control who swaps with who; when I click 'Assign Partners', the system does it randomly. It would be ideal for everyone to have a partner from a different country, but perhaps, if you want to try something different, you could ask your partner to send you something a bit more local to them next time?

arcticamy 06/29/2008 #

OK. Yeah I got candy in the mail that I couldve gotten at my local store. And some of it was old on top of that. Ewwww.

PansySuz 07/ 4/2008 #

I am a little upset at my partners rating - a 3 - as well as the comments on the swap discussion. I sent her a maple syrup lollipop, shaped like a maple leaf (canadian), some chocolate coins that are in the image of the canadian $1 coin, a twix peanut butter bar because she said she liked peanut butter, a cool fruit string thing, plus a recipe and a scrubbie cloth in her kitchen colors. Then she states that she could have got the stuff in her grocery store and some of it was OLD, I'd like to know what was so old, because I purchased everything the same day I sent it!!!

Muriel 07/22/2008 #
