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. 🤮
'What is this Fudge bar?! Ohhh it's fudge! 😂
That did make me laugh. But I don’t know many brits who like a fudge bar
@@sammyr85 I did, before dodgy blood sugar control forced me to stop eating chocolate, etc. Oh, and liquorice 😢😢
It's an old childhood favourite.. I still buy them occasionally as a treat for myself. Also like the occasional crunchie and curly wurly.
I wonder whether it's a cultural thing. It seems that the Americans don't eat the range of toffee or fudge that we do in the British Isles (although personally I can't stand chocolate fudge.)
They definitely get left until last in selection boxes or Heroes
Anyone who don't like crunchie needs ro see a doctor 😂
The crunchy is just honeycomb guys 😂😂
They call it honeycomb, but actually it's cinder toffee, the sharp taste is from the bicarbonate of soda. (which is what makes the bubbles)
*Crunchie* is it's actual brand name.
Love cinder toffee...!!
Here in West of Scotland we call it puff candy!
It’s so normal to me, I was surprised at their reactions. To the matchmakers too. I love Crunchie and 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.
I was really surprised they didn't enjoy the matchmakers that much because I don't remember a time when a box of them wasn't finished in one go 😂
I am with you Dave 😋
Absolutely. That is posh chocolate.
agreed. for me, it's a box of the orange matchmakers. can't just eat one - but one entire box!! 😁
Maybe they should offer the rest to the next door neighbours lawnmower man, unless Sophia loves them 😂
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!
Enjoy the chocolate guys. It doesn’t taste of vomit and there’s no harsh chemicals included.
If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, join our club 🎶
Thank you for the ear worm for the rest of the day….. 😂

my condolences goes to Steve lol
Um... ?!!! Don't tell her!!!
Ooh matron!! 🏴😁
😂😂😂😂😂😂hahah! They need to react to This Morning’s Funniest Innuendos after that comment - I feel like they would find this really funny!!
I find those video hilarious. I love them 😂lol.
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...🤔🙄🎩
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.
🎤 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.
You know the sugar high kicks in when Steve starts singing ❤😂
Cringe.
😂
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.
Crunchie Bar the centre is Honeycomb, my all time fave bar, i don't know anyone in the uk that doesn't love a Crunchie Bar it very popular here.
Sorry but I hate Chrunchies
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)
Who remembers Golden Cups? The small bars, oh one if my favourite
I used to love Golden Cups. Xx
The lightbulb moment when you realised the Cadbury Fudge was... fudge! 😆
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
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.
It's full of Cadbury goodness lol
And very small and neat….
Oh the ear worm after reading all the jingle comments 😂❤
@@Eph.6_10-20 AND all the other, schoolyard, versions!
@@littlewoodimp 😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 ain’t that the truth.
Everyone's a fruit and nutcase 🎶. You're old if you remember that one 😄
It's honeycomb in the crunchie...yummy! Defo one of my faves .
whoever told you to let AERO melt in you mouth and not chew is wrong. Just eat it like normal chocolate
The crunchie is chocolate covered honeycomb, I think you call it cinder toffee in the USA. I love it!
I love a crunchie too
it is called Cinder Toffee here in the UK. there is no Honeycomb in a Crunchy.
@@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.
I love a crunchy
Thank Crunchie it’s Friday!
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 😂
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.
Toffee crisp is puffed rice with toffee
Hi guys….i think our treacle would be the same as your molasses? 😘
Molasses has a stronger taste in my opinion.
Ok that makes sense now.
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 😀
Wow Crunchie in last place!!!!!!! That has to be Top 3. Same goes for the poor old Fudge bar.
Can’t beat a cheeky finger of fudge! 🤣🙌🏼 and crunchie!? That shocked me!
Finger of Fudge is just enough to give yourself a treat.
Anyone remember the 70s/80s TV ad.
Caramac, Milky Bar and Finger of Fudge used to be be marketed specifically towards smaller children.
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.
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 😂❤❤👵🏴🌹🌹
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.
It says Fudge on the packet. Why the surprise????
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.
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.
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.
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.
I used to go to school with a lad who claimed his big brother was the Milky Bar Kid 😆
@@painreliever83 he could have been, as there have been a few over the years now. the original one is probably a grandfather by now.
The Milky bars are on me!!!😂😂
@@painreliever83David Lammy?
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 :)
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.
They used to do so many varied flavours too. 😢
Not nice now with all the palm oil in them.
Now that you mention it. The sugar granules in the Matchmakers remind me of something you would find a lot near Christmas.
@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.
you need a cuppa tea with that!
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 😂
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.
Confess I was surprised at your reaction to 'Crunchie'...... I love them ;-)
The ‘honeycomb’ in crunchie is cindertoffee. When I ate dairy crunchie and fudge were my favourite chocolate bars
You did a great job putting this video together. Much easier to follow the video when you leave them in or with the wrapper.
I agree, I think it was also easier for us to keep track of everything we were trying.
Make a video when you eat the chocolate and the wrapper. ? X
I don't know anyone who lets aero melt in their mouth. Eat choc the way you want to . 😊
I do all the time
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 😂😂
😂
Penguin biscuits have jokes on the wrappers
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.😂
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.
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?!!🎵 😊😅😂

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……”
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
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.
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
Don’t confuse Supermarket chocolate with branded chocolate that you can buy off any supermarket shelf. When it was titled supermarket chocolate, I assumed it would be comparing their own versions of well-known brands with the branded version.
me too
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.
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.
Yorkie was originally a Rowntree product, not Terry's.
Terry's is now owned by the French company Carambar.
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.
Whoever told you to let aero melt in your mouth,lied to you just eat it,,it melts as you eat it anyway..🏴🏴👍👍👍👍
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.
The over reaction at honeycomb in the crunchie 😂
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.
Yes just eat the aero lol , that texture is awesome we grew up loving that style of chocolate 😊
You were lucky to get Caramac…. It was recently discontinued 😢
I for one am glad it's finally been discontinued... I've _never_ liked it and now that it's not available in our shops, I'm no longer at risk of having anyone buy it for me by mistake!!! 🤞🥺🤔🙂
Chocolate in the US is deliberately bad because Hershey's has a lot of power and doesn't want quality chocolate on the market.
Yeah, it's vile stuff Hershey's. Ghirardelli isn't bad though in comparison. Their hot chocolate isn't awful!
Mind you, since Cadbury was taken over by Americans, I'm sure they've altered the recipe.
In the uk now like recently the heraheys we get is nicest as slightly different and made in Thailand.
@@sophiabee8924 May have changed it for that made in the US/Canada but just been tweaked for the UK and EU to comply with current legislation. Many Cadbury products are now made in the EU but still have the Bournville address on the back.
@@sophiabee8924 NO they did initially but it was changed back after public protest.
@@tonys1636 My wife makes Easter eggs for Cadburys so made in the UK This years production was 78 million eggs produced inthe factory in Telford,
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.
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.
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.
Aeros bubbles are the eeason why you taste the chocolate so strongly. You are allowed to just chew it.
Seeing two Americans trying to understand the concept of honeycomb cracks me up. 😂🤣
When I was a kid, Nestlé was always pronounced "Nessels", even by the company themselves in TV ads etc. 'Nessels Milky Bar' anyone?! I'm not really sure when we cut over to pronouncing it the (Swiss) French way!
'cos it's Swiss / French ?!!
I said when, not why! Thanks to my French A level, I know it's a French word, and should be pronounced as such. But as I said, at one time here in the UK they used to call themselves "Nessels".
Anyone remember Nestle Dairy Crunch? Must have disappeared years ago but used to love them! Edit,just looked online and do still seem to be available but certainly not seen them for years?
@@janewilson8676 Are they the ones you used to be able to get from vending machines on station platforms?!
@@andybaker2456I still call it Nessles….. I can’t be doing with poncey pronunciation ala Francais …. And don’t start me on “some” from the USA TH-camrs who say erbs instead of herbs because it’s a French word!! So is “route” but they say that as rowt??!! 😖😵💫😵💫
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.
Can't believe the reaction to the Crunchie and the Fudge. 😅
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
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.
I have never ever experienced what you seem to think of as a chocolate high, regardless of how much i eat ! It doesn't affect me whatsoever, and I have only ever seen small kids get overactive after having it !
Hi you two , I've maintained a large amount of respect for you both!, until you got to the Matchmakers! Now my respect has turned to mistrust! ❤
Fudge is fudge. Cadbury's fudge is fudge coated in chocolate. Chocolate fudge is fudge with chocolate flavouring.
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.
Crunchy is honey comb
I appreciate that you both like different things and stand by your likes and dislikes. It makes your reactions more fun and real.
wow, that is the most visceral reaction to honeycomb i've ever seen
I’m from York where the original Terrys factory is and where we still make Kit Kats at nestle rowntrees. An advert on your way in York on the train was a Yorkie bar & said welcome to York(ie) where the men are hunky & the chocolate’s chunky 😂
Do you remember the advent Yorkie not for woman. It backfired on them so put yorkie in a pink wrapper. I was working at the time told the salesman’s if I not good enough to eat it I can not sale it
Mint match makers are my favourite. 🍫🍫 x
I agree, though I prefer coffee matchmakers but my daughter says she can't see them anywhere!! 😟😟😟
@@brigidsingleton1596unfortunately I don't think they're making the 'caramel-coffee' ones anymore.
My favourites are the orange ones. My dad used to get me a box of them for my birthday or Christmas. Either those or a box of Malteasers. Loved both.
They are a classic for the sideboard at Christmas, along with Pringles, Terry's chocolate orange, orange & lemon slices and sugared almonds.
The limited edition coffee ones for me but an open box is an empty box lol
Same. Have you seen the other flavours they came out with? 😂
The crunchie bars are the best . Club bars are always made for kids lunch boxes . X
What you have to remember is all these Nestle products were originally British, and made by Rowntree Macintosh of York, hence the Yorkie.
Rowntree Macintosh sold out to Nestle in the mid 1980s
Toffee Crisp and the milk chocolate Aero are my favourite
There are 2 kinds of treacle one is generally called Golden Syrup the other is Black Treacle
Golden syrup is quite pale and very sweet Black Treacle is black (obviously) and has a bitter sweet taste a bit like molasses
How have you never had honeycomb before?
Almost spat my drink out when Lindsey was talking about the thumbs up system, and Steve just be like 'I'ma give it a five'. 😅 Great vid guys, love the content. Keep it up.
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, ...
Whoever told you to let Aero ‘Melt’ in your mouth was having a laugh. You eat them like any other chocolate.
Yeah 😂
wow how dare you, its honeycomb in the middle covered in chocolate, delicious
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.
I'm not really a chocolate person - but do like a Picnic too... Good choice!
Many (if not all) of those are the chocolates that you would most frequently buy from the local newsagent and/or cornershop and/or convenience store.
I’d never call club chocolate bars, they’re biscuits! The fact that Caramac has been withdrawn tells you that not many people liked it!
It`s actually now back in the UK.
@lauraburnett9320 is it? I hadn't heard. Love Caramac
They brought it back because so many people protested its removal! It wouldn't be my first choice, but I wouldn't turn it down.
I love caramac chocolate
I loved Caramac as a child. Tried it again a few years back and didn't like it... far too sweet.
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 😊
Crunchie is gorgeous, I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t enjoy a crunchie! You have to let the honeycomb melt in your mouth
You two are hysterical on a sugar rush Lindsay giggling and Steve singing love it xx
It's called Yorkie because they had to call it something.
Sod all to do with Yorkshire though !
Oh ! And it's NOT for Girls !!
😂
I wonder if they'd get away with that ad now lol
Are you sure about that? It was originally made by Rowntree who were based in York.
My local shop just started selling strawberry flavoured aero. I love the mint one too. I love the hazelnut kit kat. I don't let it melt though, I always chew the aero haha.
What is the strawberry one like? Sounds good
@@lesleyfarrington4809 I think it is nice, the strawberry isn't super strong but nicely subtle.
It's ok, we Brits are a nation of lawn-mowers. Tell your neighbour he's famous :D
Mint matchmakers are ridiculously moreish how can you not like them ? And the fudge ? I'm shocked 😮
