I looked it up and they had a hard version as well. Saw mention of Canada a few times.I don't think so.
Made by Nestle, or under their label.
Gonna make a regular batch to try it. This and the peppermint fudge from Magical Butter's site would be great holiday presents.
I was so close to posting my lastest Update on this page just then lol. I realised just in time

At least there would’ve been some popped seeds! Mine are still being shy.
Those candies sound bomb VG, let me know how it works out. I just saw MB sells chocolate ready to be infused. That sounds pretty great too!

PSA - it’s stupid daylight savings time tonight. Don’t forget to change all your clocks, even the car one. 
I turned mine back when I woke up. I do believe it helps my body adjust which it shouldn't have to. Stupidest thing ever playing with clocks.
I'm in for daylight savings time all year! I'm okay with the sun not being at its highest at noon. 
Don't confuse me. We had ours last weekend. Maybe this is why I'm a year behind

Haha, sorry Prof! But did you change the car clock? Maybe it still applies?
Stupid Ben Franklin. Lol
I thought there was supposed to be a vote this year to determine if we keep DST or not. We don't need it anymore. Our farmers have lighting.

I've never I've never understood the thing with the farmers anyway! They wake up with the sun regardless of what the clock says, don't they? Animals can't tell time.

Lol, neither can small children. It’s stupid! At least this is the better side of it. Spring is the worst.
I think it has to do with keeping the farmer on the same schedule as everyone else.
We got up before the rooster. 4:30 am year round.
Then it's no wonder that every time I get to your journal in the morning I'm four pages behind!
I recall when US changed the date they changed the clocks back it had something to do with energy savings. So Canada had to follow suit.
Copied from an article found here that's been in my bookmarks for some reason. I guess now I know why.
According to some sources, DST saves energy. Studies done by the U.S. Department of Transportation in 1975 showed that Daylight Saving Time trims the entire country's electricity usage by a small but significant amount, about one percent each day, because less electricity is used for lighting and appliances. Similarly, in New Zealand, power companies have found that power usage decreases 3.5 percent when daylight saving starts. In the first week, peak evening consumption commonly drops around five percent.
The rationale behind the 1975 study of DST-related energy savings was that energy use and the demand for electricity for lighting homes is directly related to the times when people go to bed at night and rise in the morning. In the average home, 25 percent of electricity was used for lighting and small appliances, such as TVs and stereos. A good percentage of energy consumed by lighting and appliances occurred in the evening when families were home. By moving the clock ahead one hour, the amount of electricity consumed each day decreased.
In the summer, people who rose before the sun rises used more energy in the morning than if DST were not in effect. However, although 70 percent of Americans rose before 7:00 a.m., this waste of energy from having less sunlight in the morning was more than offset by the savings of energy that results from more sunlight in the evening.
In the winter, the afternoon Daylight Saving Time advantage is offset for many people and businesses by the morning's need for more lighting. In spring and fall, the advantage is generally less than one hour. So, the rationale was that Daylight Saving Time saves energy for lighting in all seasons of the year, but it saves least during the four darkest months of winter (November, December, January, and February), when the afternoon advantage is offset by the need for lighting because of late sunrise.
In addition, less electricity was thought to be used because people are home fewer hours during the "longer" days of spring and summer. Most people plan outdoor activities in the extra daylight hours. When people are not at home, they don't turn on the appliances and lights.
Although a 1976 report by the National Bureau of Standards disputed the 1975 U.S. Department of Transportation study, and found that DST-related energy savings were insignificant, the DOT study continued to influence decisions about Daylight Saving Time.
Anyhow, just wanted to let you know of other reasons why they do it. The last paragraph is so political.

Thanks MrS! You were saving that bookmark for just this occasion .
What's a "stereo"?
.What's a "stereo"?
So the CRTC runs this commercial here, in B&W to represent something from the 50's or 60's. They talk about how they regulate different things and one word the guys says is the "Internet" then continues to read a couple of more words. Finally he stops and says "Wait, what's an Internet?"
Useless info but the mood said share it!
I sleep in until 5:30 these days. I go to bed around 1:30.
Sleep deprivation explains a lot then 
I take cookie naps. I don't need a lot of sleep. Back doesn't let me rest anyway.Sleep deprivation explains a lot then
