They did say it didn't have the acidic aftertaste of Hershey's. So perhaps the Yorkie is what Hershey's chocolate would be like if they left out the buteric acid.
I came to say exactly the same thing. I feel they would be disappointing if you're expecting a chocolate bar rather than a biscuit, that's covered in chocolate.
Favourite memory as a kid (I’m 20 so not that long ago 😂) was settling in every winter with my mum to watch I’m a celeb with a box of mint matchmakers!
@@Scotia1990 Not quite the same though. Puff Candy isn't as hard as as the honeycomb in the Crunchie. I love Puff Candy ( plain or Chocolate covered ) whereas I just like a Crunchie.
Fudge and Crunchie are two of the BEST Cadbury bars... "Quality Street" has an interesting history, it was named after a famous stage show/play from the early 1900s by J.M. Barrie (the writer of Peter Pan). It was created in the 1930s by Mackintosh as a "working class" chocolate selection as luxury chocolates were very expensive at the time, and named after the play to induce a nostalgic feeling. They came in a large tin rather than a box (which has steadily shrunk over the decades) and became a popular British staple at Christmas, along with their Cadbury alternative, Roses. Mackintosh ended up being bought by Nestle in the 80s. (I'm not sure why Matchmakers have been put under the Quality Street branding as they never used to be - perhaps it's because of the Christmas connection, as Matchmakers are also a popular Christmas treat)
I googled it. Treacle is any uncrystallised syrup made during the refining of sugar. The most common forms of treacle are golden syrup, a pale variety, and black treacle, a darker variety similar to molasses
I used to have the inside of the Crunchie (without the chocolate), around Bonfire Night. We used to call it 'cinder toffee' because it looked like pieces of partially burnt wood.
As a kid I would take Club's in my school lunch box as a snack biscuit. Best way to eat a club was to nibble away the chocolate from the sides and end before eating the biscuit, there was always a side that was really thick with chocolate and it was trying to work out which side was the tick side first.
Same, the mint clubs were my favourite and my siblings preferred orange. It used to annoy my grandmother, cause she used to buy them and always had to pick up two different packets 😂
So glad you are biting into the bars rather than chopping them up. The mouth feel of biting into them makes a huge difference and the bars are specifically engineered with that in mind.
Chrunchie and Matchmakers are probably my favourite things on the table. I like toffee crisp too (and I’m glad they are nothing like Reece’s as I hate peanuts and peanut butter). Picnic is probably one of my very favourites. Steve said he would prefer it without the raisins but for me they make it. If I am going for a straightforward chocolate bar with no additions I would go for Galaxy.
Oh Lindsey, you made me howl with laughter when you said about it being too big for your mouth to enjoy it being in there 😂😂 I almost choked on my cup of Yorkshire tea 😂😂
Caramac, when it first came out (MacIntoshes), it was AMAZING. It was much darker in colour and really was caramel chocolate. Nestle bought them and changed the recipes of all of MacIntoshes' beloved range. Now they are revolting. Treacle is a thick form of syrup, which I believe was not rationed during the war. So we use it in many ways. Clubs are biscuits and not "candy" bars. We have many, many ranges of chocolate covered biscuits. My son loves Matchmakers. At Christmas, they bring out many varieties, and I try to get him a box of each😂 he's only 50 😂❤❤👵🏴🌹🌹
At this point you can only presume they don't put the ingredients or details on American chocolate bars, hence the "What is that" over & over instead of just reading the wrapper 😂
Just to answer a couple of your questions: Treacle is mined deep underground. It is fossil sugar from the glucosian period. Yorkie gets it's name from how the chocolate is prepared. Just like when wine is made the cocoa seeds are soaked before being trampled to extract the juice. Yorkie breed a terrier specifically for this process. Hundreds of them gallop around in the vat and yields are up to 30% greater than human or mechanical extractions.
Anyone else- on spotting the fudge bar- start singng "🎶A finger of Fudge is just enough.....to give your kids a treat!🎶"? It's ingrained...... The Matchmakers are something you'd pick up as a small gift to give a host when visiting, or as a host you might offer them with the coffee at the end of a meal. They are not usually something you'd pick up as a family everyday snack. Club biscuits are more of a substantial snack mid afternoon to keep you going till dinner than a 'chocolate' treat. (" 🎶If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, join our club!"🎶) They come in several flavours. Not sure about melting the aeros.....I'd just chomp down on them. The inside of a Crunchie bar is what was traditionally known as 'cinder toffee' or sometimes 'honeycomb' toffee. It probably did come as a surprise if you weren't expecting it. It's made by boling up sugar and Golden Syrup ( a light sugar syrup- a bit like maple syrup) until amber coloured, then adding some bicarbonate of soda, and heating until it foams, then pouring into a greased tin to set. You then break it up into bite sized pieces with a toffee hammer.
@@jeanlongsden1696'honeycomb' isn't just honey storage cells in bee hives, but is also is a generic word referring to materials of similar or vaguely cell-like structure. Honeycomb toffee, or just honeycomb, is a common name for this sweet, as well as cinder toffee, sponge candy, hokey pokey, etc.
Caramac is an alternative to chocolate for those who suffer headaches from chocolate. Steve, you need to react to the Milky Bar adverts. I think Sophia will enjoy them.
If you actually looked into it, you’d discover that many, if not most of the chocolate bars now attributed to Nestlè in the UK were not actually created by them and are theirs by result of a rather contentious takeover by Nestlè back in the 80’s/90’s. Weirdly some items retained the original manufacturers name and some didn’t. Just as Cadbury did when they took over Fry’s (the Creams and Turkish Delight stayed Fry’s but the Cream Eggs became Cadbury for example). Club aren’t classed as a chocolate bar, they are referred to as chocolate biscuits…which I don’t think is a classification you have in the US. But a chocolate biscuit is essentially a cross between a biscuit and a chocolate bar. They are almost always individually wrapped and contain some form of biscuit or wafer that is covered in chocolate and are generally closer in size (though mostly a little bit bigger) to a biscuit. But both Club and the two finger KitKat would be regarded as chocolate biscuits and found in a the biscuit aisle of the supermarket.
In my local supermarket there's a sort of continuum with obvious sweets at one end merging into chocolate sweets and bars, into chocolate snack bars, into chocolate biscuits, into other biscuits, into plain biscuits, into savoury biscuits and crackers. Categories are fluid depending on purpose 😀
Okay, so here is a tale about biscuits. - the club is a chocolate biscuit. A chocolate biscuit is different to a chocolate bar and also different to a regular biscuit. If you went to someone's house and along with your cup of tea they put on the table a plate of biscuits, then you are a welcomed guest. If they put a plate of chocolate biscuits out then you are a respected guest who they are trying to impress. If they put a plate of chocolate bars out on a plate then they are clearly nuts with more money than sense. If they give you a slice of homemade cake along with your tea then you are either family or royalty or a priest and if you get no biscuit, bar or cake with your tea then you have either obviously upset them at some point or are an estate agent or insurance salesperson.
I think someone miss understood Melt in the mouth chocolate when they told you how to eat aero all chocolate is best eaten when it’s been in the fridge for a while. My favourites are mars bar and galaxy caramel 🇬🇧❤️
Speaking of 'Quality Street', you need to look into Quality Street chocolates. They're a staple item of any British Christmas, with pretty much every home having a tin (or plastic tub these days) of them on their sideboard or coffee table for the duration of the festive season. They've become contentious over the years due to the gradual shrinking of the size of the tin/tub and the types of chocolates included, but certainly in my family we always have them at Christmas, along with Cadbury's Roses and Celebrations.
@reactingtomyroots I'm not really sure why Matchmakers are branded as Quality Street these days, because as far as I'm aware, they have never featured in the tins of Quality Street that we have at Christmas! Google it, and you'll see what I mean.
While the Swiss conglomerate Nestlé owns so many formerly independent UK confectionary companies, it hasn't unified them entirely. So Yorkies, formerly made by Terry's of York, still remains very distinct from Aero, formerly made by Rowntree's of York. Nestlé produces both these brands, plus Macintosh's chocolate, at one factory, but on different lines, in York.
Treacle is also known as dark molasses. Treacle is made from the syrup that remains after sugar is refined. Raw sugars are first treated in a process called affination. When dissolved, the resulting liquor contains the minimum of dissolved non-sugars to be removed by treatment with activated carbon or bone char.
As you've found, here in the UK the texture of a chocolate bar is just as much a part of the experience as the taste. Yorkies and Aeros and many other bars were made by Rowntrees of York until Nestle bought the hundred year old company in 1988.
i think everyone has the same opinion of caramac - you want to like it but its just so sweet its nearly inedible. honestly have never seen anyone actually eating one, but given they're still for sale presumable someone does. "Gold bars" are similar chocolate over a biscuit centre, they're a lot more palatable imo, smaller as well.
Crunchie has what we call honeycomb middle, this is a sugar toffee that has been foamed ( like insulation) by introducing bicarbonate of soda, which causes it to foam up, then set, add some honey flavour and you get honeycomb
Here in the US if something is called fudge it's almost always a chocolate fudge flavor and we generally don't have plain fudge, so we were expecting chocolate throughout the entirety of the bar.
@@reactingtomyroots Aaah I’ve often wondered what fudge is like in America - based on what I’ve seen (granted, in things like The Simpsons or Family Guy 😂), it’s different to fudge in the UK and just looked like chocolate! Now I know 😄 I was gonna say you guys should try some all butter fudge from the UK, but then I got to the part where you said you don’t like plain fudge, so maybe not 😂
A Yorkie bar is named after the original company & the location where it was produced, before Nestle bought them out. Rowantree (Rowantree's of York) was the name of the original confectionary company, and the bar was launched nearly 50 years ago in 1976. It used to have the slogan "It's Not for Girls" as it was marketed towards men due to its original larger and chunkier nature (it's shrunk a lot since then). Due to the moves towards striking out misogyny, they were made to drop the slogan to save the brand.
True treacle dates back to Victorian times. The pale, refined molasses is notably sweeter and has a much more mellow flavor than molasses. Nowadays, treacle is a blend of molasses and refinery syrup. It ranges in color from light gold to nearly black. British treacle can be substituted for molasses in most recipes, but much less frequently will molasses work as a replacement for treacle. If you do substitute molasses for treacle, use the lightest, unsulphured molasses you can find.
best uk chocolate is dairy milk buttons, lion bar, snickers, maltesers, galaxy, kinder bueno, and the best is milky way crispy rolls and most underated and slept on is rolos
Your taste buds have been shot by the amount of additives you are used to. It’s quite surprising that you don’t know what treacle actually is and also what actual fudge or honeycomb is either. You’ve mixed chocolate biscuits with chocolate sweets. The biscuits are more normally eaten as a complement with say a cup of tea or coffee.
I believe that Nestle has it's name on very many products through takeovers rather than being the originator of the various confections. Thus the variety of taste , flavour and texture .
Yorkie are in military ration packs or it was, and yorkie says on the packet or it used to say, 'it's not for girls' and in the ration packs it says, 'it's not for civvies' 😂
You're right, Nestle did buy other companies, including Rowntree's, which was a UK brand started by quakers, as were Cadbury's and Terry's. Rowntree's made Kit Kats and Aeros.
Treacle is a grade of cooked cane syrup. Molasses, treacle and golden syrup will be the grades sold outside the US, darker to lighter. Louisiana cane syrup seems to be even lighter in taste and colour.
So at Christmas, we have tubs of chocolates. The main ones are Quality Street by Nestle, Roses by Cadbury's and Miniature Heroes (I believe also by Cadbury's)
A Club is a chocolate coated biscuit rather than a chocolate bar with biscuit in it.That sounds very pedantic but I guess that it's about the expectation of the eating experience. I would have a Club biscuit with tea.
@@jetv6775 Thank-you. I knew it was something to do with the colour / flavour !! And hoped a 'knight in shining armour' would rescue me re the missing lines!! Your polished protection has done you proud. 🎵🤔🎵😏🏴❤️🇬🇧🖖
Treacle is like Molasses. It is very rich. I have eaten loads of caramac chocolate , especially when I was a kid, but I never knew it had treacle in it ! . lol.
Speaking as a 75 year old, in my childhood, the brands were Cadbury, Nestle, Fry's, Terry's, Duncan, MacIntosh, Rowntree, Galaxy (probably a few more), and each had their own popular ranges......these companies were taken over by the multi global firms from the 1970s onwards, and the recipes were tweaked, totally changed etc. I can't think of any, to be honest, that tastes as it did back then (unless my taste buds don't work as they did lol)
Im sitting here salivating. I'm a chocoholic, except for white chocolate, but i have to be restrictive due to diabetes. Another great reaction. Nana Karen UK
@@t.a.k.palfrey3882 molasses is sugar! But not as refined as white sugar. Therefore golden syrup and its darker version or treacle. By the way, my neighbour here in the UK works at the factory, so we know what we’re talking about. Look it up…….
How can you say nestle is the worst when you have hersheys 😂😂, not sure if anyone else answered this but treacle is similar to molasses for you in the U.S.A. Love the video ❤
Rowntree originally made Yorkie. Rowntree was based in Yorkshire which explains the name of the bar. Rowntree also made Aero, Smarties, After Eight Mints and others. Another sweet manufacturer was Mackintosh who originally created Quality Street then merged with Rowntree to become Rowntree Mackintosh . That company was taken over by Nestlé. Joseph Rowntree was a Quaker philanthropist and, besides manufacturing chocolate, set up a trust fund to help poorer families. Cadbury and Fry were also Quaker families Edit: yes, Steve - Matchmakers were not always made by Nestlé but by Rowntree originally.

You're lucky we love you. Comparing a Yorkie to Hershey's would start a war if anyone else said it.
Similar texture iirc but not the lactic acid taste.
They did say it didn't have the acidic aftertaste of Hershey's. So perhaps the Yorkie is what Hershey's chocolate would be like if they left out the buteric acid.
I'm brittish and hate yorkie's but yeah, Hershey is still worse.
Indeed. How dare they! It's like chalk and cheese, literally.
They actually put a chemical in their chocolate to give it a sour taste. 🤮
I would never call club a chocolate bar, they're chocolate biscuits normally put in lunchboxes or eaten as a snack
Yes,and they're bar shaped...so either is correct 🙄🎩
So as a kit kat contains a wafer biscuit...🤔🙄🎩

🎤 If you liiike a lot of chocolate on your BISCUIT join our Club !
I think the companies used to call them combination bars. They were better value as the amount of chocolate used was much less.

The most common forms of treacle are golden syrup, a pale variety, and black treacle, a darker variety similar to molasses
Fudge used to be marketed more at kids. “A finger of fudge is just enough ….” had some hilarious send ups😂
As a kid I always misheard that jingle as full of peppery goodness instead of Cadbury goodness.
The lightbulb moment when you realised the Cadbury Fudge was... fudge! 😆
I used to have the inside of the Crunchie (without the chocolate), around Bonfire Night. We used to call it 'cinder toffee' because it looked like pieces of partially burnt wood.
We call it honeycomb. The same as the centre of crunchie bar.
Fairly easy to make.
I am getting the distinct impression that we English like more texture in our chocolate!
I’m so glad they are actually doing chocolate that most of us Brits was probably brought up with
As a kid I would take Club's in my school lunch box as a snack biscuit. Best way to eat a club was to nibble away the chocolate from the sides and end before eating the biscuit, there was always a side that was really thick with chocolate and it was trying to work out which side was the tick side first.

You're allowed to eat it how you want 😂 I don't know anyone who sits and waits for it to melt in their mouthes, just chew it.
Toffee Crispis my favourite followed by Crunchie. For a grab a bar but Cadbury chocolate is the food of the gods
I think Aero is great (used to be better when it was Rowntrees) but needs to be crunched as the bubbles give it a crispy texture.
Oh Lindsey, you made me howl with laughter when you said about it being too big for your mouth to enjoy it being in there 😂😂 I almost choked on my cup of Yorkshire tea 😂😂

Wow Crunchie in last place!!!!!!! That has to be Top 3. Same goes for the poor old Fudge bar.

Hi guys….i think our treacle would be the same as your molasses? 😘
Molasses has a stronger taste in my opinion.

@@reactingtomyroots Aaah I’ve often wondered what fudge is like in America - based on what I’ve seen (granted, in things like The Simpsons or Family Guy 😂), it’s different to fudge in the UK and just looked like chocolate! Now I know 😄 I was gonna say you guys should try some all butter fudge from the UK, but then I got to the part where you said you don’t like plain fudge, so maybe not 😂
A Yorkie bar is named after the original company & the location where it was produced, before Nestle bought them out. Rowantree (Rowantree's of York) was the name of the original confectionary company, and the bar was launched nearly 50 years ago in 1976. It used to have the slogan "It's Not for Girls" as it was marketed towards men due to its original larger and chunkier nature (it's shrunk a lot since then). Due to the moves towards striking out misogyny, they were made to drop the slogan to save the brand.
I appreciate that you both like different things and stand by your likes and dislikes. It makes your reactions more fun and real.
I don't know a single person who lets aero melt in their mouth . Just eat the damn thing
I eat aero and wispas a lot slower than other chocolate so it melts while chewing
Eat the Aero's like normal chocolate. It melts as you are chewing it x
Exactly what I was going to say! 👍
you're completely missing out then
I do :)
Crunchy has got honeycomb in it
Whoever told you to let Aero ‘Melt’ in your mouth was having a laugh. You eat them like any other chocolate.
Yeah 😂
Confess I was surprised at your reaction to 'Crunchie'...... I love them ;-)
True treacle dates back to Victorian times. The pale, refined molasses is notably sweeter and has a much more mellow flavor than molasses. Nowadays, treacle is a blend of molasses and refinery syrup. It ranges in color from light gold to nearly black. British treacle can be substituted for molasses in most recipes, but much less frequently will molasses work as a replacement for treacle. If you do substitute molasses for treacle, use the lightest, unsulphured molasses you can find.
Of all the UK chocolates you guys have tried so far do you have a top 5 yet?
Penguin biscuits have jokes on the wrappers
Toffee Crisp is definitely the best of this selection!
treacle is like molasses-you use it to make gingercake and flapjacks etc-it's gooey and very sweet
Yes, I use treacle to make my gingerbread biscuits at Christmas time. It's the only time I take it out of my pantry.😂
best uk chocolate is dairy milk buttons, lion bar, snickers, maltesers, galaxy, kinder bueno, and the best is milky way crispy rolls and most underated and slept on is rolos
Your taste buds have been shot by the amount of additives you are used to. It’s quite surprising that you don’t know what treacle actually is and also what actual fudge or honeycomb is either. You’ve mixed chocolate biscuits with chocolate sweets. The biscuits are more normally eaten as a complement with say a cup of tea or coffee.
Caramac has been discontinued, I loved them 😋
Can’t believe you guys didn’t enjoy the crunchie.
I had to laugh at what about you said about being too sweet. America has more sugar/sweetner in their Chocolate and Candies than any other Country.
I believe that Nestle has it's name on very many products through takeovers rather than being the originator of the various confections. Thus the variety of taste , flavour and texture .
Yorkie are in military ration packs or it was, and yorkie says on the packet or it used to say, 'it's not for girls' and in the ration packs it says, 'it's not for civvies' 😂
It's a delicious bar so I get why they would add them to ration packs.
I didn’t know they did that! That’s a bit spesh for our serving military! Well done Yorkie! ❤
@@Eph.6_10-20 i got out in 2009 so I don't know if they still do, definitely did from 03 to at least 07 and maybe still
Yeah Yorkie and chicken tika masala made it all worth while 😊
You're right, Nestle did buy other companies, including Rowntree's, which was a UK brand started by quakers, as were Cadbury's and Terry's. Rowntree's made Kit Kats and Aeros.
Treacle is basically the UK name for Blackstrap Molasses that you know in the US. It is what is left over during the refining process of cane sugar
Treacle is a grade of cooked cane syrup. Molasses, treacle and golden syrup will be the grades sold outside the US, darker to lighter. Louisiana cane syrup seems to be even lighter in taste and colour.
Sweets like they used to have in jars.
Apple, pear and lemon drops, mint humbugs and various swirls, ropes, laces and such. Cola bottles and sours.
So at Christmas, we have tubs of chocolates. The main ones are Quality Street by Nestle, Roses by Cadbury's and Miniature Heroes (I believe also by Cadbury's)
And don’t forget celebrations by Mars 👍🍫
A Club is a chocolate coated biscuit rather than a chocolate bar with biscuit in it.That sounds very pedantic but I guess that it's about the expectation of the eating experience. I would have a Club biscuit with tea.
wow, that is the most visceral reaction to honeycomb i've ever seen
Milkybar I think everyone in the UK probably knows the theme tune to milkybar such iconic, the milkybar kid is strong and tough
🎵The Milky Bar Kid is strong and tough
And only The Best is good enough...
I forget the next lines da da de dar ...
in ... Milky Bar?!!🎵 😊😅😂
@@brigidsingleton1596the creamiest milk the whitest bar the good taste that's in milky bar 😂
@@jetv6775
Thank-you. I knew it was something to do with the colour / flavour !! And hoped a 'knight in shining armour' would rescue me re the missing lines!! Your polished protection has done you proud. 🎵🤔🎵😏🏴❤️🇬🇧🖖
@@brigidsingleton1596 hahahhah no worries think thats how it goes but it literally came to my head once I read your part lol 😆😂
Followed by the firing of a cap gun and a kiddie shouting out “it’s the milky bar kid……”
The thing inside the fudge is fudge 😂 didn't think it would be that surprising, its honeycomb inside the crunchy 😅
Treacle is like Molasses. It is very rich. I have eaten loads of caramac chocolate , especially when I was a kid, but I never knew it had treacle in it ! . lol.
Caramac has been stopped now.
Fudge is fudge. Cadbury's fudge is fudge coated in chocolate. Chocolate fudge is fudge with chocolate flavouring.
The crunchie bars are the best . Club bars are always made for kids lunch boxes . X
Speaking as a 75 year old, in my childhood, the brands were Cadbury, Nestle, Fry's, Terry's, Duncan, MacIntosh, Rowntree, Galaxy (probably a few more), and each had their own popular ranges......these companies were taken over by the multi global firms from the 1970s onwards, and the recipes were tweaked, totally changed etc. I can't think of any, to be honest, that tastes as it did back then (unless my taste buds don't work as they did lol)
You reminded me of an old MacIntosh chew bar that I used to get after school, it had a cow on the packaging. I forget the flavour…😂
Thank you 🎉
Your taste buds change as you get older.
Thank crunchie it’s Friday 😂
I don't know anyone who lets aero melt in their mouth. Eat choc the way you want to . 😊
I do all the time
My favourite chocolate bars are DOUBKE DECKERS and STARBARS (peanut buttery) yum 🇬🇧
Sorry DOUBLE DECKER bars and STARBARS
Yes just eat the aero lol , that texture is awesome we grew up loving that style of chocolate 😊
You should try Cadbury Double Decker, they're lovely.
Im sitting here salivating. I'm a chocoholic, except for white chocolate, but i have to be restrictive due to diabetes. Another great reaction. Nana Karen UK
Thanks Karen. This one was a fun one for sure. I already miss the Milky bar. lol
Crunchie and fudge are delicious
Treacle is any uncrystallised syrup made from refining sugar. The most common form of treacle is golden syrup.
Yes, but many people would see treacle as darker and slightly bitter, compared with golden syrup.
I beg to differ. Golden Syrup is as much treacle as corn syrup is Maple syrup. Treacle is what Americans' call molasses.
@@t.a.k.palfrey3882 molasses is sugar! But not as refined as white sugar. Therefore golden syrup and its darker version or treacle. By the way, my neighbour here in the UK works at the factory, so we know what we’re talking about. Look it up…….
They’re all from refining sugar, it mainly depends on how long it’s boiled for.
It's beet sugar not cane, different product.
How can you say nestle is the worst when you have hersheys 😂😂, not sure if anyone else answered this but treacle is similar to molasses for you in the U.S.A. Love the video ❤
Rowntree originally made Yorkie. Rowntree was based in Yorkshire which explains the name of the bar. Rowntree also made Aero, Smarties, After Eight Mints and others. Another sweet manufacturer was Mackintosh who originally created Quality Street then merged with Rowntree to become Rowntree Mackintosh . That company was taken over by Nestlé.
Joseph Rowntree was a Quaker philanthropist and, besides manufacturing chocolate, set up a trust fund to help poorer families. Cadbury and Fry were also Quaker families
Edit: yes, Steve - Matchmakers were not always made by Nestlé but by Rowntree originally.
Nestle ruined a lot of Mackintosh & Rowantree products not a patch on the quality the products used to be. Quality Street being a prime example.
