pls share your thoughts on the british snacks, I love hearing about this sort of thing! 🍬
Sorry for the long wait but over a month later, my family and I have finally finished the snacks! And they were delicious!! I’ll share my notes below (yes I took notes they’re not much though haha). Thank you so much to @forensicated for being such a wonderful friend and shipping these treats to me!! I can’t wait to return the favor :)
To anyone reading: have you tried any of these treats? Do you have a favorite?
I took photos and notes of some of the candy I ate:
Twisted creme egg: creamy center, sweeter than I expected
Carmel: runny caramel, not too sweet
Crunchie bits: not too sweet, really like the crunchy bits inside- kinda like crunch
Wispa: inside look interesting, good
Fudge: kinda chewy, not too bad
Eclair: toffee :) make sure not to chew haha
Dairy milk: good solid milk chocolate
Teaser: crunchy bit inside, I like :)
Twirl: weird taste/texture, not bad but not a fave
Dinky decker: have something like a wafer inside, tastes okay
Bounty: coconut, like almond joy but without the almond, not too bad
Mars: good solid milky way with carmel
Caramac: sweet, creamy color, pretty good
Cadbury Creme egg- maybe bc I kept in freezer, not as sweet as I was expecting haha
Daime: chocolate, crunchy carmel(?) on inside

Some other notes:
The Mars candy is definitely one of my favorite it is similar to the American Milky Way except that the american version has nuts
I like the candies with the crunchy bits inside- it reminds me of the american Crunch candy
Cadbury white chocolate marvellous creations jelly popping candy: I love the popping candy in it- like pop rocks/fireworks in the mouth!
While we might have similar candies like m&ms and snickers, the packaging is different, the size smaller the average american equivalent, and less food coloring
Creme egg: I froze it and then bit into it! It wasn’t as runny as I thought it would be (though I guess it’s bc I kept it in the freezer haha)
Hairbos: mainly my mom and sister ate them, but I love that there a variety from hard to creamy to chewy gummies!
Love the jaffa cakes!! The orange and cranberry ones were my favorites :)
And those were my incoherent thoughts haha. Overall love them all, and I’m so grateful to have received such a lovely care package from an international friend 🥺
Care package from the wonderful @forensicated !!! We’ve been discussing British vs American chocolates and candies, but I never imagined that you would actually send some over to me!! Thank you so much for this wonderful gift! I am truly touched 💜 I can’t wait to try all of these treats haha
Hello lovely, please can I be cheeky and ask for the Bank Robbery link? I didn't know there were boot copies of the mischief crew and unfortunately due to personal circs (carer and then covid) I haven't had chance to go see them live and I'm so so jealous of those who have! We were finally due to go see Groanups in Sheffield but covid happened!. Thank you so much <3
Hi! Sure, I’ll message it to you shortly :)
And I hope that you get to see Groan Ups some day!
