Search for chocolate Twizzlers ends

Reader Michelle Farber likes her chocolate Twizzlers but hasn't been able to find them. To the rescue comes fellow reader Debbie Jackson -- a self-described "Twizzlers freak" -- and a slew of other Taste of the Town readers.

Jackson, Dave Best and Mary Lou Villalovos said Smith's carries them, "and, new to the market, they are now made with Hershey's chocolate," Jackson said. "And Hershey's (the owner of Twizzlers) just released cinnamon pull-a-part Twizzlers, in case Michelle likes cinnamon."

Jennifer Esposito, Caryn Crotty and Pamela Moore said chocolate Twizzlers -- "along with many, many other flavors," Esposito added -- can be found at Sunflower Farmers Market, which is at 3365 E. Tropicana Ave. and 4020 S. Rainbow Blvd.

Carol Sullivan faxed that they can be found at Walgreens at 5082 E. Lake Mead Blvd. Theresa Renner saw them at Albertsons at 575 College Drive in Henderson. Dave Drucker said he found them at Wal-Mart, and Michael Chalfin said they can be found at CVS Pharmacy. ...
