Do British Candy Bars Taste Better? Serious Eats Investigates

I registered for this site just to make a comment on this point.

I lived in Ireland for over 6 years and was a devout chocaholic but when I moved back to Canada I found the chocolate here rather boring, tasteless and bland.

Fortunately I had brought back several huge Cadbury chocolate bars and a 1.5K tin of Roses' chocolates with me. Once they were gone, I tried to feed my habit on the vast variety of Canadian chocolate bars only to be disenchanted.

Make no mistake about it, British/Irish chocolate (we must not forget Belgium) is the best tasting in the world.

I confess that I enjoy having a Coffee Crisp once in a while but I just finished a Galaxy Ripple bar which I bought (along with a whole pile of UK goodies from an import source near me) and there is no comparison. It was moanful (not mournful) to say the least and I felt that I had indeed had a good chocolate fix.

Those who disagree have no taste buds!

I am from Wales in the UK and I have a Second home in LA, and I go there around 6-7 times a year. The thing I miss the most going there is having Cadbury's Dairy Milk. there are so many gorgeous chocolates in the UK - Mars, Galaxy, Snickers, etc. And they just cant compare to the chocolate in the US. I will say the sweets/candy in the US in great, but the chocolate cant compare.

i will defend the black/white biscuits, they are kinda nice. everyone likes them in the UK!
