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%
Yes but Cadbury changed their taste in the UK when it was taken over by the American company. It no longer has the same taste as before. Its very noticeable to old lovers of Cadbury but youngster wouldn't know.
@@vickytaylor9155 definitely not true! I always thought the same but just marketing. They told us at Cadbury World that dairy milk has always been made with powdered milk!
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.
@@MillerWright-mb1ob It could be. I'm not old enough to remember the second doctor and the first time I saw the bag was with Tom Baker. Jon Pertwee never mentioned them. It would make sense that some of the previous doctor's quirks would pass onto later reincarnations.
The honeycomb you had the opportunity to buy that was like $25 for a tiny thing might have been *actual* honeycomb, like, from bees. I can't think of another reason for it being so expensive. The "honeycomb" in a crunchie is completely different, just solidified sugar foam. You might like one if you don't like the other!
Embarrassing a fully grown woman confused the filling in a crunchy bar with actual genuine honeycomb they're so damned different I don't understand how anyone could confuse the two.😂
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.
I Love a good rhubarb crumble / pie especially with custard or even cream, but apple pie / crumble is still my favourite personally and again with either custard or cream.
Cadbury's are based in Birmingham England. The Cadbury Family were Quakers and were the first people outside of Switzerland to learn how to produce milk chocolate, it took them five years to do so. They were also famous for looking after their workers building houses, schools, libraries etc in the Bourneville area of Birmingham for them, but because they were Quakers no pubs. They are now owned by
Apparently the main difference between U.K. and America chocolate is in the U.K. we use whole fresh milk and in the U.S. you use heat treatment milk because it has to travel long distances between through various temperatures and fresh milk would be unstable. First time watching you guys, I really enjoyed watching you taste our sweets & chocolate. Thank you for sharing this.
The white powder around the Jelly Babies is actually cornflour (corn starch) it is used as the mould in which to pour the liquid in before it dries, the sweetness you taste is the actual Jelly Baby flavour. BTW, Double Deckers are my favourite too!
I’ve watched quite a few of these kinds of video and finally an American who appreciates the beauty of the Double Decker! It has to be the most satisfying bar ever and I’ve often thought it is quite an American style bar. You might be able to find a British food store locally for ex pats to get your fix. ☺️
Double Decker is my favourite but they were even better when they first came out in the early 80’s I think. The top nougat was less chewy and melted in your mouth better. Still love them to this day.
I am so happy to have a fellow double decker in the fridge fan. My family think I'm crazy as it's the only way to eat one .. in fact all my chocolate has to be in the fridge first lol
Bounty is available in dark chocolate too, tastes even better ! The Bounty, Wispa, Crunchie and Double Decker are called Chocolate Bars in the U.K. and the other packet items you tried are called Sweets.
Same for the US mini eggs, not sure if it’s Hershey’s for them too. My wife, American, prefers the UK mini eggs. I think the only US sweet I’d miss in the UK is peanut butter m&ms, other than that the UK has the better sweets/candy.
I've seen quite a lot of American reactions to British sweets and this is my favourite. I like your personalities and the fact that you didn't spend too long talking about each individual sweet. Cadburys is definitely English. I've been on a tour of their factory in Birmingham, England. I got a lot of free sweets but didn't see any Oompa Loompas. 😉
I''m from the west midlands, England. Where the Cadbury factory is, it was family owned business for years, but they did sell the business a few years ago to a German owned company. They must have sold it for a bomb! The German company have kept everything true to the original recipe and added some new cholate bars of their own, which don't seem to be as popular as the original bars
The middle of a Crunchie is an acquired taste, I personally don't like it but know other people love them. The advertising for this used the phrase 'thank crunchie it's Friday'. You hear this now in normal conversation when people are glad it is the end of the working week.
I love crunchies. You can buy bags of mini ones too. And you need to be introduced to peppermint Aero, which is a brand of chocolate with bubbles in it, and Maltesers.
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.
And me , I was expecting more 😮 very sickly and yeah smelt strange . The only thing I liked was the wrapper, foil paper and a outer sleeve . Like Cadbury used to be,
I'm English. Wispa is my favourite. I often send chocolate to my girlfriend in Texas (when the weather is cold enough to mail it) she loves Wispa best too along with Topic and Ripple.
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
@@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.
One thing to appreciate, uk stuff prizes natural flavours over artificial. Artificial stuff just won’t sell here. Colours are the same, natural colours, make food mor appealing.
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.
When I was a kid I had a job in a cash&carry. A sale's man gave all the staff to try a new chocolate bar. It was a whisper. It was bloody lovely. Nice.
Bounty is also available in dark. The way to distinguish milk and dark is from the colours of the wrapper, milk is blue, dark is red. Kit Kat? I've had a fair few flavours in my life, milk, dark, mint, orange, cookies and cream. Drumsticks Squashies, I've had the flavours of raspberry and milk, sour apple and cherry, and bubblegum. I love Chewits, I've had the flavours of blackcurrant, strawberry, cola, fruit salad, American toffee popcorn. I've even had Chewits Xtreme, sour apple and tutti frutti. Double Decker is crispy base and nouget. There is also a mini version called Dinky Deckers. Wispa, I've had both milk and caramel. There's also a mina version called Bitsa Wispa. Cruchie, I love it. In my youth, there was Crunchie Nuggets, now on this day and age the mini version is Crunchie Bits.
Hersheys put extra additives in their version of Cadbury, one of them being an enzyme found in vomit. Which is why it tastes so chemical and "cheap " 🙂
You should try to get your hands on Galaxy Or Lindor Chocolate. So creamy and they come in different flavours. Yum, yum…..Try and get the old flake adverts on TH-cam from 1970’s they used *ex to sell them very provocative.
We always keep chocolate in the fridge, l love Cadbury's Fruit and Nut. My problem is that once I've cracked a bar open, I cannot stop eating it until it's all gone, no willpower at all, so I have to ration myself to one bar a month!!😂😂😂🇬🇧
Loved those reactions. We're very lucky in the UK to have such good quality confectionary. Your Wispa bar looked rather flat, I'm sure it'd taste even better if it hadn't suffered in the heat. 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".
The problem with the heat is..it changes the texture of some of the chocolate bars. This takes away one of the features of the bar which adds to the experience.
I love English / European Chocolates as compared to American Chocolate, as they taste really good. English / European chocolates are way richer in terms of dairy richness and flavor of cocoa and very smooth. Regular Kit Kat is way way better than the American Kit Kat , which is Bland tasteless.
The crunchie isn't make for bee honeycomb it's made with sugar golden syrup (corn syrup) and has bicarbonate of soda which makes it bubble up....you may know what cinder toffee is and that's what is in the Crunchie...there is nothing freeze dried in it...
The honey comb is not the honey comb that you get from bee hives, it is basically sugar that is boiled till golden and the something along the lines of baking soda is added and it puffs up and sets into a brittle sugary honeycomb
I thought it very strange that she thought they might be the same type of honeycomb . Surely she would have seen real honeycomb at somepoint in her life ?
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! 😋😋😋
@@ruthmaxwell60 When I first heard about the potato bit, I didn't believe it, but Google has loads of recipes to make your own macaroon bars, & they ALL contain mash!! 😲
Nice to see you liking our sweets. Wait till you come over to UK and try fish and chips, roast dinners, sausage and mash, meat pies, sausage rolls, sticky toffee pudding, Eton Mess, 99 ice cream, oyster shells and cream teas.
Cambridge UK 🇬🇧 here. We have red currants and black currants. Black currents contain the highest concentration of vitamin C gram for gram. They're about the size of US 5 cent. The largest commercial farm is one of The Monarch's farms in Norfolk 🇬🇧 and on The Sandringham Estate privately owned by The Windsor's. During WWII and rationing black currents were encouraged to be grown. Sandringham Estate is the biggest producer of black currents. It can be bought in Jam, cool drink and in sweet form. Like the one's you tasted. Not as sweet as Americans are used too but good and packed full of vitamin c. Eating 1 Berry sized as a US 5 cent is equivalent to eating 5 whole Florida Oranges...
Hi enjoyed watching your tasting of our great British sweets. In the summer chocolate belongs in the fridge and it tastes so much better and yes Cadburys is English and the Company when it started up built houses etc for all their Emplyees.
I love Double Deckers, along with Twirls they are my go to chocolate bar when I have a craving, Snickers comes in a strong third. We have so many lovely chocolate bars and jelly sweets in the UK we have a very sweet tooth or at least I do.
My favourite British chocolate/candy bar is the (Topic) it’s a chocolate bar with caramel and nougat and whole hazelnuts inside! They’re only small though that’s the problem 😅 I do like the double decker too 👌
Any chocolate must be eaten straight from the fridge, even in England, far better taste and texture. Cadburys dark chocolate giant buttons washed down with a glass of nice cold ice-cold milk. Heaven.
You mentioned Cadbury creme eggs, but since Kraft bought it, they replaced the chocolate with really bad stuff. The generic dairy milk is also meandering towards Hershey’s. Luckily, Hershey’s can’t.legally be called chocolate here, so we have some protection.
@@sandybrand9882 It has! I remember the way dairy milk used to taste back in the 1990s. It had a stronger cocoa and dairy taste. Now it is more sugary with less flavour!
My friend from Houston Texas was here in 🇬🇧 for The Coronation in May. She was eating a millionaires short bread. Which has a chocolate topping. My brother's British Bulldog, Diesel paced the coffee table twice and then ate the rest of her Millionaires short bread. She was horrified. It wasn't enough chocolate but he knew it was the proper chocolate. He, the Bulldog then slept for an hour.
Love this vid, we get some American bits in the UK we love mike n ikes, reeses etc but everytime we've tried hersheys here we've all agreed it tastes like vomit. Really strange strong vomit flavour
Cadbury bought out Fry's which was based in Keynsham, and became cadbury frys, and then just cadbury. Frys was a quaker run company, (the religion) and had really good welfare promotion for its employees, the company recreation areas wete larger than the factory. On the days when they produced crunchies the air around rhe factory was filled with such a sweet smell....
Cadbury's was English and it's products were mostly created while it was English owned. It was taken over by Kraft and now its owner is called Mondelez - an international company.
I now live in the land of Carnivore (no lecturing don't worry lol) so it was interesting to re-live these tasts simply beause during my years I'd eaten a lot of what you showed and wow, how the brain remembers and the tastebuds crave!!!!! Great stuff guys, great fun to watch!
The animal product in many chewy sweets is pork gelatine, made from rendered down skin and ligaments. Oddly enough, we vegetarians tend to prefer our sweets without dead pig parts in it.
I feel your pain with the heat. I live in the Valley of the sun in Arizona. I have a cooler in my car to keep cold stuff when I go grocery shopping. I work nights & I do most of my shopping @ night after it cools off a little.
Chunky Kit Kat peanut butter flavour is delicious and if you like double deckers then you’ll love star bar and boost bar, the original squashie raspberry and milk are the best 😋 enjoyed your video so I’m going to have some chocolate lol might even be a double decker 😉
We have something called Forced Rhubarb here which is Rhubarb grown in a darkened shed and it grows so fast you can hear it groaning, mainly in Yorkshire.
Yup Cadburys is indeed English originating from Bournville in the city of Birmingham.
Not anymore!......Bought out by Kraft (USA) i believe :-(

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".
BTW you also get Sour Apple & Cherry squashes oh and the raspberry & milk ones are amazing 😍
Yum!! We will have to check them out! Thank you!
Mmmmm the originals are the best tho!
@@mattbelcher4604 what flavor is the original?
Your a great couple,glad you liked it.Yes it’s English but Swiss and Belgiun chocolate are lovely too.
English chocolate really is the nicest though (;
@@alisharosey7948no it isn’t. Belgian and Swiss chocolate is way better and I’m British. I usually buy a Swiss chocolate called Milka
The wisper bar looked like it had been flattened
The “freeze dried” flavour in Crunchie is actually honeycomb!
A Crunchie is sponged toffee covered in chocolate
The problem with the heat is..it changes the texture of some of the chocolate bars. This takes away one of the features of the bar which adds to the experience.
Which is why I like to keep sweets and chocs in the fridge..
Crunchie is Cadbury's milk chocolate on cinder toffee.
I believe that the white powder on the jelly babies is icing sugar.
You want to try the original drumstick versions of the squashies. Probably the best ones. They also have sour apple and cherry.
The Chewits dinosaur was the star of their 1970s tv adverts, they’re on TH-cam.
I love English / European Chocolates as compared to American Chocolate, as they taste really good. English / European chocolates are way richer in terms of dairy richness and flavor of cocoa and very smooth. Regular Kit Kat is way way better than the American Kit Kat , which is Bland tasteless.
Cadbury is English but a while back I think it was sold to an American company.
With the jelly babies go for the boys because you get a little bit more😅
The crunchie isn't make for bee honeycomb it's made with sugar golden syrup (corn syrup) and has bicarbonate of soda which makes it bubble up....you may know what cinder toffee is and that's what is in the Crunchie...there is nothing freeze dried in it...
We always bit off the babies head first, just because we could lol 😅
With the crunchie bar - bite the ends off and use the chocolate bar as a straw to suck coffee through - lush
Ok. I need the Austen men t-shirt! ♥️
The honey comb is not the honey comb that you get from bee hives, it is basically sugar that is boiled till golden and the something along the lines of baking soda is added and it puffs up and sets into a brittle sugary honeycomb
Used to get it in Scotland in the 1950,s puff candy,hard as rock ...
Known as cinder toffee
I thought it very strange that she thought they might be the same type of honeycomb . Surely she would have seen real honeycomb at somepoint in her life ?
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! 😋😋😋
I’ve had MANY of those scrummy bars and never knew that. 😊
@@ruthmaxwell60
When I first heard about the potato bit, I didn't believe it, but Google has loads of recipes to make your own macaroon bars, & they ALL contain mash!! 😲
DoubleDeckers are my favourite...❤️
Rhubarb & Custard let fly with their secret weapon!
Nice to see you liking our sweets. Wait till you come over to UK and try fish and chips, roast dinners, sausage and mash, meat pies, sausage rolls, sticky toffee pudding, Eton Mess, 99 ice cream, oyster shells and cream teas.
That all sounds sooo amazing! We are hoping to go to the UK next year! Assuming borders are lifted.
Yeah. That sounds amazing
@@BoringReviews Sweets!! Not candy!
Cambridge UK 🇬🇧 here. We have red currants and black currants. Black currents contain the highest concentration of vitamin C gram for gram. They're about the size of US 5 cent. The largest commercial farm is one of The Monarch's farms in Norfolk 🇬🇧 and on The Sandringham Estate privately owned by The Windsor's. During WWII and rationing black currents were encouraged to be grown. Sandringham Estate is the biggest producer of black currents. It can be bought in Jam, cool drink and in sweet form. Like the one's you tasted. Not as sweet as Americans are used too but good and packed full of vitamin c. Eating 1 Berry sized as a US 5 cent is equivalent to eating 5 whole Florida Oranges...
The wispa got flattened
Hi enjoyed watching your tasting of our great British sweets. In the summer chocolate belongs in the fridge and it tastes so much better and yes Cadburys is English and the Company when it started up built houses etc for all their Emplyees.
"Oh *baby*!" I cracked up 😆
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. I’m still thinking about those candies and have ordered several of them since recording this
My mom used to work for Cadbury in Birmingham England!!
I love Double Deckers, along with Twirls they are my go to chocolate bar when I have a craving, Snickers comes in a strong third. We have so many lovely chocolate bars and jelly sweets in the UK we have a very sweet tooth or at least I do.
That right there, is the holy trinity of Chocolate Bars.
Nah Wispa beats Twirl😊
I’m British But live abroad. My family sends me double deckers regularly ❤️
Double decker is top tier 👍
My favourite British chocolate/candy bar is the (Topic) it’s a chocolate bar with caramel and nougat and whole hazelnuts inside! They’re only small though that’s the problem 😅
I do like the double decker too 👌
They stopped making topics a couple of years ago
@@stevehaddon151 are you serious? No way 🥹
I totally agree, I'm from England and double deckers are number 1!!
That TMNT pic is incredible
Any chocolate must be eaten straight from the fridge, even in England, far better taste and texture. Cadburys dark chocolate giant buttons washed down with a glass of nice cold ice-cold milk. Heaven.
Double deckers were my favourite chocolate bar when I was a kid.
The dark chocolate bounty is much nicer but nobody else thinks so.
BOUNTY used to have nut but the nut allergy has meant many choc have now been made WITH NUTs or nut oils.
A cooler box in the car helps with keeping things cool
Double decker are the best!!.. Years ago they used to have raisins in, miss that!!
Try a Cadbury Flake, you'll die from pleasure
You mentioned Cadbury creme eggs, but since Kraft bought it, they replaced the chocolate with really bad stuff. The generic dairy milk is also meandering towards Hershey’s. Luckily, Hershey’s can’t.legally be called chocolate here, so we have some protection.
Totally untrue. The Chocolate in the uk is regulated and cadburys recipe has NOT changed
@@sandybrand9882 It has! I remember the way dairy milk used to taste back in the 1990s. It had a stronger cocoa and dairy taste. Now it is more sugary with less flavour!
My friend from Houston Texas was here in 🇬🇧 for The Coronation in May. She was eating a millionaires short bread. Which has a chocolate topping. My brother's British Bulldog, Diesel paced the coffee table twice and then ate the rest of her Millionaires short bread. She was horrified. It wasn't enough chocolate but he knew it was the proper chocolate. He, the Bulldog then slept for an hour.
Bounty used to be available in the US. Don't know why they stopped.
Yeah Double Decker was my fave as a kid, haven't had one for years. Now I'm tempted.....
Love this vid, we get some American bits in the UK we love mike n ikes, reeses etc but everytime we've tried hersheys here we've all agreed it tastes like vomit. Really strange strong vomit flavour
the RED bounty is dark chocolate
Cadbury bought out Fry's which was based in Keynsham, and became cadbury frys, and then just cadbury. Frys was a quaker run company, (the religion) and had really good welfare promotion for its employees, the company recreation areas wete larger than the factory. On the days when they produced crunchies the air around rhe factory was filled with such a sweet smell....
Cadbury's was English and it's products were mostly created while it was English owned. It was taken over by Kraft and now its owner is called Mondelez - an international company.
Cadbury’s is definitely English first found in Birmingham glad you like it
I now live in the land of Carnivore (no lecturing don't worry lol) so it was interesting to re-live these tasts simply beause during my years I'd eaten a lot of what you showed and wow, how the brain remembers and the tastebuds crave!!!!!
Great stuff guys, great fun to watch!
The animal product in many chewy sweets is pork gelatine, made from rendered down skin and ligaments. Oddly enough, we vegetarians tend to prefer our sweets without dead pig parts in it.
Rhubarb and Custard is a classic Brit sweat, they used to be hard boiled sweats, along with other classics like cola cubes.
Yeah I remember buying them as a kid, plus pebbles too .
Squashes raspberry and milk are the best , I always put my chocolate in the fridge. Good vid
I feel your pain with the heat. I live in the Valley of the sun in Arizona. I have a cooler in my car to keep cold stuff when I go grocery shopping. I work nights & I do most of my shopping @ night after it cools off a little.
As a 64 year old, I know Double Deckers have been around for years, but strangely only recently I have fully appreciated their yummyness!
I believe the white stuff on the jelly babies is starch to stop them sticking together.
The original Cadburys factory at Bournville is in Birmingham, England, UK, about 5 miles from where I live
Chunky Kit Kat peanut butter flavour is delicious and if you like double deckers then you’ll love star bar and boost bar, the original squashie raspberry and milk are the best 😋 enjoyed your video so I’m going to have some chocolate lol might even be a double decker 😉
Peanut butter kitkats are my favourite! Love orange and mint ones too.
I do like double decker,you can buy dinky deckers which is a bag of individual small double deckers
We have something called Forced Rhubarb here which is Rhubarb grown in a darkened shed and it grows so fast you can hear it groaning, mainly in Yorkshire.
