As often the case, we don’t start missing things until they are no longer around as much.
Common food that I’m familiar with in the States often remain as memories - either I can’t find them down here, or if I do, they will understandably be expensive since they have to be imported.
Every now and then, I still like to venture inside specialty stores selling American goodies just to look around and perhaps to walk down memory lane a bit.
These stores do have all kinds of all-time favorites snacks like Twinkies, Graham Crackers, Reese’s Peanut Butter, all the different flavors of Pop Tarts, and of course Hershey’s... 
On my latest visit, I saw a HUGE version of the original Hershey’s Milk Chocolate. It’s like the size of an A4 paper – okay, for those in the States who use Letter size instead, A4 paper measures 8.27 × 11.69 inches. And it looks like around half-an-inch (about 1.5cm) thick... 
I was bad on that visit because I ended up home with the goodies in my picture above...

Basing on the pictures of what you bought in that store , i can say that you have a sweet tooth . 
Usually , i only like Chocolate bars- Cadbury is my favorite brand , but the medium sized ones only , which me and my hubby can consume in just one eating . At least , we will just open another when we feel like eating one again on next days .

you know, you know enough americans that if there is something you really really want, I am sure one of us would do a trade for some local random fun items!

I totally understand and don't blame you for spending so much and loading up. When we travel, I enjoy trying foods in other countries. However, I noticed some American candy is made special for Europe, for example, and tastes nothing like the original made in the USA. Enjoy your goodies!!!!!!!!!

@Tampa_girl7 We did - we tried to make them last as long as possible while enjoying them...

Yes these things are favourites- I live in Canada and can get them here as we import a lot but we all are guilty of loving them---LOL!

I can go without them for a long period of time, but the temptation is there from time to time... And although I can always get a really nice bottle of pure Canadian maple syrup at any time, I just had to get the Aunt Jemima only because I knew I may not find them as easily at other times...

@sishy7 Hahaha! Maple syrup really is a natural favourite and it seems- an International one too!

The goodies look so good still. I love sweets too. One of my stress-relievers.

Those are the sort of things that should not be around
. Everytime I see a piece of chocolate, no matter what the size, it fits exactly in my mouth. And I have a piece of paper in the fridge´s door with the list of no-nos that the doctor told me. Chocolate and salami are among them. And I´m sure that your list is forbidden too
