British candy! There is something about the chocolate that is unlike anything I have ever tasted - it's so rich and creamy.
Here's a selection of my favorites:
Top row - Rowntrees' Fruit Pastilles (little fruit chewy nuggets covered in sugar), Curly Wurly (chocolate-covered caramel), Maltesers (malted milk balls) and Cadbury's Fudge (chocolate-covered fudgy log)
Middle top row - Flake (covered already here on the blog), Crunchie (chocolate-covered honeycomb), Aero (chocolate bar full of bubbles - the whole thing melts in your mouth in a burst of flavor)
Middle bottom row - Twirl (similar to a chocolate-covered Flake), Dairy Milk (the staple milk chocolate), Smarties (the British M&Ms)
Bottom row - Rolo (chocolate-covered smooth caramel nuggets), Quality Street (a selection box of a variety of chocolates) and Turkish Delight (chocolate-covered gel)
Speaking of Quality Street, I love what these ladies did with their hats at a horse racing event (always a big hat occasion):
The green triangle is Chocolate Noisette Pâté (Hazelnut Triangle), the purple wrapper is Milk Chocolate Hazelnut with Caramel and the yellow disc is Caramel Swirl.

FYI, the newspaper headline on the day I was born read "World awaits Britain's royal baby" - who, me? no, wrong baby!
We love Rolos, I had no idea they were originally from England. Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I definitely think Hyacinth should hold a candlelight supper in honor thereof! :)
ReplyDeleteI've had the Aeros and Smarties when i visited Canada. I thought it was a Canada thing . Very interesting
ReplyDeleteOh I loved watching Keeping Up Appearances as a girl. I've never thought about Britain having different candy, but it sounds yummy.

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read more of this series about England! My husband is going to London soon on a business trip, and we already are making a list of British chocolates for him to bring back.
