Curly Tops

Through the decades, it has never changed. Same box, same wrapping, same taste.


It may not be the best chocolate candy in town, but I still treat myself to a box or two every now and then. It somehow helps bring back fond memories of my early schoolyears when this was the chocolate to save up for.


Pucchi was the first among the girls to get her pile of the chocolate cups.
