    All Cadbury chocolate in America is made by Hershey's under licence. The same applies to Nestle's Kit Kat which is why, in both cases, you do not get the range of choice. Hershey's went to court to stop the import of Cadbury chocolate, so in affect any Cadbury chocolate found in America that says made in the UK, or elsewhere, is illegal. The reason UK chocolate tastes richer is probably because, in America chocolate contains a minimum of 10% Cocoa solids, whereas in the UK the legal minimum is 20%

    The honeycomb in Crunchie is easy to make, but you have to be careful as it is like napalm when hot and can seriously burn if it gets on your skin. It is sugar melted in a saucepan, then you mix in bicarbonate of soda (baking soda for you Americans). It then foams up and you pour it out onto a lined baking sheet and let it go cold.

    Trivia : The 4th Doctor Who, Tom Baker (the one with the long scarf and hat in the 1970-80s) always carried around a bag of Jelly Babies with him.
    Blackcurrants were banned in the USA in 1911 as they carried a plant disease that destroyed Pine trees. There are now disease free plant varieties and some fruit farms are slowly reintroducing these back to the USA. As well as Blackcurrants, there are Redcurrants and Whitecurrants as well with different tastes.

    Though the Cadbury Dairy Milk Bar is good, I'm a big fan of the Galaxy Bar. The chocolate is even smoother than Cadburys and they have a chocolate bar called the Caramel Bar that's to die for.
    Interesting aside, the little dinosaur on the side of the Chewits pack was the result of a TV advertising campaign from the early 90's (I think...) It featured a Godzilla type monster destroying a city because he couldn't find anything chewy enough to satisfy his craving for something chewy. After sampling a number of buildings he's given a giant packet of Chewits. He is very pleased by their chewiness and wanders off into the sunset with his packet of sweets, or candies if you prefer. The tagline was "Chewits, chewier than a ten storey building".

    I remember the first (and only) time I tried a Hershey’s bar: I was so disappointed. When I was a student my university campus had a shop that sold food and sweets from all over the world. They got some Hershey’s and I’d heard so much about it from American films and TV so I was itching to try some. It tasted of vomit; that’s the only word I can use to describe it. The aftertaste stayed with me for some time. I wondered if something was wrong with it so I got my Canadian friend to try some: he assured that it was fine and that that’s just what Hershey’s tastes like. He added that his experience was that most English people couldn’t stand it. Made me sad as I wanted to like it.

      @@kentldubz No, it is true. Literally all sweets/chocolate bars in the UK say "No artificial colours or flavours." They were banned years ago.
      As for US Cadbury products, they're made in the US by Hershey's. Hershey's do not want English chocolate in the US, as it tastes better and they'd lose too much revenue.

    Jelly babies made here in my hometown of Sheffield! Bassetts is renowned for their brilliant sweets! In years gone by there were adverts which said " Are you a head or a feet person!" Cadburys chocolate adverts used to say a pint and a half in every bar! A pint is a measurement of about 575ml! Crunchies are by far my favourite! Enjoy! X

    I'd love to see your reaction to one of Scotland's best sweets, 'Lee's Macaroon Bar'.
    It's a white fondant centre, covered in chocolate, then sprinkled with toasted coconut.
    The twist in this tale is, the fondant centre contains actual mashed potato!!
    Yes! Mashed potato!!! 😲😲😲
    Funny thing is, I'm a 61year-old Scot, so I've eaten many many macaroon bars in my time, but I've just found out what's in it!!
    I still love them though! 😋😋😋

    The reason you may not have tried blackcurrant before is because when they were first taken to America the plants were diseased, so America banned them from being grown anywhere in the whole country.
    Some states are now allowing them to be grown as you can now buy disease resistant plants, but they are still not very widespread in America.
    If you manage to find Ribena, it is delicious. It is a squash (cordial type drink that needs to be diluted with water) and tastes so blackcurranty.
