TASTE OF THE TOWN: 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."
