    Caramac’s are nearly as bad as Turkish Delights on the barking scale.

    The Yank stuff here isn't worth the exorbitant prices. Especially when you can get 4 Ripples, Topics, Boosts or Flakes for a quid. A Baby Ruth is just Nestle's Snickers and you can get 4 Snickers for a quid these days in most supermarkets. Had a box of Milk Duds recently, might have been good if they weren't coated in that Hershey * that Yanks hilariously call 'chocolate'.

    The * tier should literally just be a row of Irish Cadbury’s chocolate.

    The best anywhere in the World by miles. Must be the milk they use or something. I come back with bags of it any time I’m over.

    Yeah, with the Tiffins being right at the top closely followed by Mint Crisp and Orange Crisp. In the ROI they held out for long enough before changing from foil to plastic wrappers. The foil wrapped stuff tasted better.

    Yank chocolate is rubbish especially Hersheys. The one exception is Ghirardelli. Hard to find but they do these big bags of square chocolates of differing flavours that are lovely. I have been to their stores in San Francisco, Monterrey and Chicago and bought the big bag every time.

    My sister got back from Las Vegas recently and she brought me back some of their chocolate treats. They seem to be obsessed with peanuts and peanut butter, they put those into every thing. As well as the Milk Duds (Duds could not be a more apt name) I got to try a Butterfinger. The Butterfinger was alright but it was ridiculously sticky, you could feel your enamel dissolve in every bite

    My sister and her man told the reception at the hotel that it was their anniversary, hoping for maybe a complimentary bottle of Champagne, * sent up a big bag a they boggin Hershey Kisses...:56:

    Presentation wise Kisses look great, shame about the nasty chocolate. AFAIK Hershey's technically isn't even chocolate, it's chocolate flavoured candy so they can't sell it in the EU as chocolate because it barely has any cocoa in it. Gutted that a Yank company took over Cadbury, can already taste the decline in Dairy Milk chocolate.

    Dairy Milk Crunchie bars and Dairy Milk Oreo Bars are the best.

    Tremendous shout, Deebo. Unbelievable if dipped into a cup of tea and sucked, then biting into the gooey crunchie bit :35:

    Galaxy smooth milk is the best, Lindtt is also good but pricey.

    Had the Ghiradelli or however it's spelled brownies from the wee shop at Disneyworld and they were incredible, absolutely extortionate but incredible
