York Bites A Winner

Wed., April 19, 2000

Rick Bonino Food Editor

Over the years, our reader food panel has learned that good things can come in small packages. Take the latest candy craze, for example - little round “bites” of bigger candy bars.

Last fall, panelists sang the praises of Reese’s peanut butter bites, awarding the confection an impressive four stars. But that was nothing compared to the kudos they recently heaped on York’s peppermint bites, which earned a best-possible five-star rating.

Our advice: Hide some instead of Easter eggs and keep the kids busy all day.
