Welcome to the premier issue of our quarterly newsletter. We hope to keep you better informed about what is going on with us. Our first issue includes news and other information relating to some of your favorite products from Canada. The newsletter will also serve to keep you up to date with our latest specials or seek your input and opinions on various issues relating to our website. Please feel welcome to give us any feedback or other suggestions you think would help us in this effort. We also welcome any information or facts that you think lovers of candy from Canada would like to know.

We are now offering Priority Shipping for $9.95 on all regular candy bar orders of 48 bars or less. This option is simple to select when you order, just make sure you order 48 bars or less when ordering and make the proper shipping selection. It usually ends up costing less than Ground Shipping.
For some time, we have been trying to fill as many special orders as we can (that is, items that are not listed in our Internet store). Over the last few years with the implementation of the Bioterrorism Act, special orders have become increasingly difficult. However, we feel that we are now better prepared to continue offering this service again like we did before. Let us know if there is a special product from Canada that you would like. (Please note, there is generally a longer waiting time and a minimum order of $75 for special orders. We also require that you give us the name and address of the manufacturer.)
Also, if you would like to see your favorite Canadian bars in your local store, feel free to give the store owner/buyer our contact information, or forward their information to us. We offer wholesale pricing on larger volume purchases.
We would like to know, which you think is better, Smarties or M&M's and why? Please click on the link below and give your answer and explain why. We will include the results including your comments in the near future. Please include your name and town with your answer. Email your answer by clicking here Smarties-M&Msdebate
Remember, Valentines Day isn't that far off. Wouldn't a box of Smarties or even a variety of candy from up north make a great gift for your sweetie?

Drawing Winner: Obaida Abdul-rahim!

Congratulations to Obaida Abdul-rahim of Gainesville, Florida, for winning our Winter drawing for 24 Caramilk bars (actually, Obaida requested 18 Caramilks and 6 Mr. Bigs, a request that we granted). Obaida submitted the following information:

My brother and sister and I were all born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, so our love for Canadian candy comes from the very beginning. We moved from Canada to Florida 10 years ago and found out very quickly that the confectionaries offered below the 49th parallel were vastly inferior to those offered above it. Until recently, we had not been able to do much about it. Thankfully, Google helped us sniff out how to find many of our favorites for sale including ketchup chips, Caramilk, Aero, Smarties, Crispy Crunch, etc. which led us to Panhandle Premium. Short of moving back north, it's the next best thing (although moving back is looking better all the time).

Tell a friend about this website (or anyone). Fax or email us proof that you told someone and you will be entered into a drawing for 24 candy bars in March 2005. Proof can include a copy of the email you sent or an email from the person you told to Panhandle Premium. To email us, click here. Our fax number is 360-671-1646. Please include a phone number so we can contact you if you win because e-mail is becoming an unreliable means to contact the winner. We pledge that we will not use this number for any other reason than to contact you in the event you win. Help us promote our site and you also could win 24 scrumptious bars!

Thanks and see you next time.
