Man, I don't know any regional South Carolina candies. Moon Pies? You can get those all over, though, I think. They are good, but not much different that a large Mallomar.[DOUBLEPOST=1498050371,1498050270][/DOUBLEPOST]Maybe pecan pralines. But everyone has some nut praline thing, so not so sure about this one either.
We have tarheel toffee here, but it's not that special. Skor is better, IMO.

Oklahoma does have a great fried pie place near Davis, OK. It's just a large sweet empanada. Good with ice cream! As for candy, Oklahoma has peanut patties. I've only seen them in OK and TX.

You may be able to buy fudge in other states, but they'll never be Mackinac Island fudge.

I cannot speak for my entire home state, but I have never had coconut cake, nor have I seen it served anywhere. I mean other than the one everyone makes at some point in life for Easter, where the coconut is supposed to be Easter Bunny fur.
While you're at it, drop a Cherry Republic catalog in their laps. Yum upon yum upon yum.
Yes, they're to the point where they're actually being reduced in price to increase throughput before they spoil.

That happened to strawberries earlier this year too. We made strawberry jam almost as fast as our kids could eat it.
We had strawberry shortcake for dinner one night. Not dessert, I mean actual dinner.
Also if you want to take your Michiganization of Mackinac Island fudge to the max, you have to make it maple-flavored.

It all began in 1932 when B.E. and Mabel Atkinson needed to find a way to keep their family afloat during the Depression. As B.E. said, "during the Depression no one had any money, but everyone had a penny." Candy was an inexpensive indulgence that anyone could afford. They started their candy empire bootstrapping their way to success. Mabel created some of the original recipes for the candies we still make today like Peanut Butter Bars.
Something something big numbers something.
Feeding a large family is like trying to lay new track in front of a speeding train.
Something something understatement something.
Sorry, it's incredibly hot here and my brain's half-melted-down.
Have you ever met a person, you say, "Let's get some pralines," they say, "Hell no, I don't like no pralines."? Pralines are delicious! Pralines's may be the most delicious thing on the whole damn planet!
Some trains don't waste time with such piddling little details like... track.
Nanaimo Bars? What the fuck is a Nanaimo Bar? Oh... it's a Starbucks treat... got it. I forgot (no I didn't) that Starbucks is the state of Washington. Forget these:
Or this:
Or - though they certainly didn't invent the stuff - what about these guys:
Nope, none of that matters. Starbucks sells some weird confection from BC seasonally, so that's the favorite sweet treat of all of Washington state.

Well, I've had pralines but I've never had good Belgian chocolate before. I think you should send me some so I can make a comparison. You know, for science."Belgian chocolate"

I had one of these on the way home and it's all (~5%) your fault.
How about if we do a national products swap? You send me Belgian chocolate and I'll send you a beaver.Bribe this year's Secret Santa organiser.
