Favourite Foreign Confectionery - What's Yours?

My first memory in USA (1989) was peanut butter favoured Twix bars.

Although not chocolate, when in Spain I love those boiled sweets with sherbet in the middle, they are sold as a long-chain and you tear one off at a time.

I love Nestlé Crunch bars abroad, struggle to find them in the UK.

And of course it's mandatory to buy a crazy sized Toblerone bar in the airport duty free, not available anywhere else. Actually coming to think of it not seen Toblerone in the shops for a while.

I just love 'Runts'. They are small fruit flavoured sweets with the most amazing taste.
They are a bit like the 'seaside pebbles' sweets, if anyone knows of them, but just a little bit softer.

Mars Bars from France - much nicer than ours. I used to love the Toblerone you could buy in Switzerland - lovely and soft and gooey, not like the rock hard stuff you get in this country!

Sour Patch Kids.

(I've noticed Maynards are selling them here now, but they are not the same)

Swedish fish from America

Green Tea Kitkats from Japan - Nom!

Ghiradelli Caramel - Nom!

Peanut Butter M&M's - Nom!

Coconut m&m's. you can now get there here for the shocking price of £1.20 a bag. However I always stock up when in the USA or Caribbean.

Am I the only one here that thinks that 'American chocolate' is a total oxymoron

No.

No fans then for those 'sweets' from Eastern Europe that taste rather like distilled dental mouthwash then?

I love the Cherry Sour Balls you get in the states - very adictive.

On thge topic of MandM's - my daughter dragged me into the MandM store in Manhattan when we were there in early April - anyone else been there?

I was staggered by the engenious variety of the damn things - but most of all, hated the all pervasive smell of sickly chocolate in the shop that it took at least a day to get out of my clthing!

I bring back jelly Beans for myself as much cheaper than the UK.
Bags of beef jerkey for my son who loves it.

Yes, been there once and never felt the need to go back again (bit like I feel about Abercrombie and Fitch).

I much prefer the Cadbury World store where you used to be able to see and buy the regional variations of Cadbury's offerings...

Another one for Green Tea Kitkats... Nom.
