British Candy

Although not everyone is a fan of British food, most agree that Britain showcases some of the best candy around, especially for chocolate lovers. Sweeter and milkier than most American chocolate (many British claim that Hershey chocolate has a sour aftertaste), sweets (as candy is often referred to) is a regular feature of English life. The two biggest producers are Nestle and Cadbury UK (which was started by John Cadbury in 1824.)

Mars

Chocolate, caramel, and nougat bar , it is different form the Americna candy of the same name. First made in Slough, England in 1932.

And of course, there is the Scottish variant, the deep-fried Mars bar, a must for any visitor (and is surprisingly good).

Curly Wurly

My personal all-time favorite. Started in 1971, it's chocolate covered caramel.

Flake

A crumbly milk chocolate bar. Has an odd mouth-feel at first, but quite addictive.

Wispa (Cadbury) and Aero (Nestle)

Crunchy aerated chocolate.

Crunchie

Going back to 1929, this is a honey-combed crunchy chocolate bar.

Yorkies

Named for York, England where it began in 1976, this is a large chocolate bar.

Smarties

A slightly larger version of American M&Ms.

Chomp

Chewy chocolate bar.

Dairy Milk

The classic English chocolate bar.

Jelly Babies

The classic English candy and the candy of choice for Doctor Who. Basically Gummi Bears.
