Don't like chocolate much, so I'd say Jelly Babies.

Another vote for Hob Nobs. <BR>Anybody got a recipe for how to make those? I've tried putting chocolate on oatmeal cookies and it's not even close.

Andy do you know the name of the dark choc Cadbury with truffel in the middle? I've never heard of it before and I want to be sure I get the correct kind when I'm in the UK next. Thanks.

Was over for my 4th time a couple of years ago - took my husband and his sister - both chocohilics. Definitely agreed that the Cadbury chocolate was the best they had ever tasted. I was amazed, but have to admit that the Cadbury bars overseas really do taste much better than the stuff we get here. Why is that?

I loved Cadbury Wispa mints, Lilt grapefruit soda, and these little lemon sweets I bought in Bath.

For those living in the northern U.S., you can get the real-thing Cadbury's in Canada. So very smooth.......<BR>

Ah, chocolate--you're talking my language. I liked Cadbury's Fruit & Nut bars, the chocolate covered mints (maybe Robertson's?) that someone on the forum said once made Andes taste like mouthwash, Grasmere gingerbread, scones and clotted cream. Is it any wonder that I gained ten pounds in four weeks last fall?

There's absolutely nothing English about irn-bru. Fodors should remove this post - I find it offensive.

Cadbury's products are cheap and vile, don't waste your money on them.

Try Rose and Violet creams from Charbonnel et Walker in Old Bond St., as well as any of their other superb chocolates - real quality, and English chocolate at its finest.
