When I was a lad we had an artificial Christmas tree that mom and dad bought about 1922. Most of the decorations dated from that time; one was a sugar mouse. (Or was it a pig?)

Maurice if I could I would buy a box, maybe c/k on a UK site ?, now having said that candy by the box never worked out well for me.
Back in the 70's along with a work mate Jacko and girl friends we drove to ST Tropaz for our holiday's had my pop pick up a case of Nestl'e Crunch bars having no idea how big France is to keep me going I ate most of them from Paris to Lyon and ended up throwing up a 2 am in the morning.

I won't comment on your eating habits, Bob! 
But I know that certain things are addictive and with me it is cherries - red not black. That reminds me, we never see the "nap" cherries these days, do we?
You'll certainly get your mice in Brussels, but they will be expensive. I don't like US chocolate, it's a bit too waxy, so importing it seems the only answer.

On my first day at school I found a little pink sugar mouse wrapped in greaseproof paper in my bag. My mum had dropped it into my bag for me as a little treat - bless her. I too followed her lead (but chose the less sugar-loaded option) and dropped post-it notes into my children’s lunchboxes with little messages on. Not quite the lip smacking treat of a sugar mouse, but I hope it made them smile like I did all those years before. Viv.

Hershey the great American candy maker never knew the European recipe and put sour cream in his chocolate, that's why American candy tastes a little bitter unlike say Cadburys which is a lot smoother, as a side note Cadburys sold in the states is made here and sucks . Remember "a glass and a half in every bar".I won't comment on your eating habits, Bob!

It is sour milk, not cream, that Hershey put in their chocolate. They treat it with a culture to deliberately make it go sour. In addition, a lot of American "chocolate" certainly in items which are coated and not solid chocolate blocks use a choc coating, which does not include cocoa butter, and this is likely in many cases to give a waxy product
