Yeah, with UK sweets, if you see Nestlé, it's originally from the great chocolate makers Rowntree or Mackintosh. Nestlé, like Kraft Mondelez are not known for making many products, they tend to buy other companies out and rebrand them, it's a real shame to be honest.

Great fun to see you guys enjoying what we have around us all the time. My first time in the USA I was so excited to try a Hershey Bar...until I ate it. It seemed so dry and powdery, but I am of course used to the higher milk fats in our bars. If you come over again to the UK you must try clotted cream, it is the most thickest most rich cream, and is incredibly fattening, but so delicious on Scone with Jam. Nice videos.

Haha aww I'm sure being non-American trying a Hershey bar for the first time is probably pretty underwhelming. 😆 Thanks for the recommendation! We hope to make it there when travel conditions are better and would love to try clotted cream!

Scottish tablet is different from fudge in the UK. Tablet is more sugar tasting and harder, fudge is softer and more creamy.

Crunchie is my ABSOLUTE favorite. I settle for Violet Crumble most of the time because I am in the US and they carry them at our Publix.

I'm late to the party, but seeing as you mentioned you could smell coconut in the Lion bar, I think coconut oil or coconut butter has recently been used in chocolate instead of palm oil. I can definitely smell coconut whenever I tear into a bar of Dairy Milk which I've never noticed before, maybe Mondolez (Kraft) are using a different recipe compared to what Cadbury's used to use. To be honest I've never read the ingredients on the back of a bar of Dairy Milk as it's usually been scoffed and the wrapper is in the bin.

Just have to say Scotland is part of The United Kingdom of Great Britain, it's just that Tunnock's in made in Scotland. Have you tried the Tunnock's Caramel Log? It's yummy.

You need to try Mint Aero.

Scottish is British. That’s like saying Texas isn’t American. Great Britain is the name of the island shared by England, Scotland and Wales. Love the video.

Love watching your videos. I have a friend who emigrated to the states who misses alot of British foods. You need to try a galaxy caramel or get yourselves a kit kat chunky bar, bite both the ends off and use the bar as a straw to suck a hot coffee through it. It melts and goes gooey inside. Thank me later 😄

If you haven’t tried them already you need to try galaxy chocolate (great with a cup of tea). Lindt balls/Lindt Easter bunnies. Drumstick lollies and they also have a ‘squashies’ version which is a chewy sweet. But honestly one of the best things you need to try is a pick’n’mix it’s a childhood favourite and something everyone I know used to get so excited about when they were kids (and still do as adults)

I've been to America a handful of times and I've tried out lots of the sweets there. As much as I want to I just can't like Hershey chocolate, to me it has overtones of vomit. However, the first time I was there I discovered Reeses peanut butter cups and was hooked. When I got back home I couldn't find them in the shops, I had to order some boxes from a specialist distributor! now they are in all shops, and Hershey bars are not, so it's not just me :)

I don't know the name of the American company who bought out Cadbury's but almost immediately they tried to reduce the amount of milk in the chocolate ( which is what makes its so good!) and we Brits boycotted it as it was pretty awful compared to what we've been used to. So they realised they had to go back to original recipe. that was when they started to put some weird fillings in ( to save money) some of which are ok. I personally will only eat Cadburys best there is, better than all the Belgium chocolate I think.

Tablet is made with condensed milk, fudge with cream or clotted cream. Tablet is harder and grainier than soft fudge made with white granulated sugar, fudge with demerara sugar. Tablet is a traditional Scottish confection. To make tablet requires heating to a higher temperature than fudge, and also beating tablet is a much harder task - beat till it thickens, whereas fudge just needs beating till it loses it's shine. The less beating of fudge makes it softer. Now I have a huge craving for them.

British fudge is pretty much the same as American fudge. However, when most Americans try British fudge they try the Cadbury bar which is very odd and not really fudge. I believe this is where the confusion starts. The fudge you are eating is harder than usual because it is the prepacked kind that is wrapped and bagged. If you buy fudge that is cut to order in a sweet shop in the UK then it is much softer and comes in literally hundreds of flavours. Certain regions of England are well known for their fudge. Scottish tablet is different. It has a crumbly texture and is made with slightly different ingredients. I don't enjoy it as much as fudge.

For Chocolate to be called Chocolate in the UK it has to have no less that 20% cocoa solids, its normally 23%. I have read that in the US you only need 10% of cocoa solids to be called Chocolate and Hershey use about 11% that is why US chocolate taste cheap

Scotland is on the landmass known as Britain.

Tablet is firm, grainy and can crumble. Fudge, ideally, is creamy and can be soft firm to firm. There are several kinds of caramel. There's the soft, runny kind, the soft runny kind that's milky looking, the hard, creamy kind and the hard, brittle kind. Then, there's toffee, which is firm and creamy. All of them can have other flavours, eg rum n' raisin fudge or treacle toffee. A lot of companies sell sweets called fudge, but if it's grainy, it's more like tablet. The UK has a million different, fantastic sweets - everything from Midget Gems, which are little jewel coloured, fruit flavoured, gummy sweets to Soor Plooms (Scots for Sour Plums), which have a sour, tangy taste . You wouldn't eat a whole bag of them. Cadbury's is made in Poland now, I think, and not that great - it's gone a bit plasticky and tasteless. There are a lot of smaller companies making much better quality chocolate in the UK (or, at least, there were) .

Try galaxy chocolate by Mars if you want decent British milk chocolate. Mars bars are seriously good. Try them melted over vanilla ice cream.

Caramel is soft Fudge - soft Toffee - tough

Starbars are my absolute favourites! I reach for them all the time. I’m in the UK and I’ve not had that version of the Lion bar. I don’t think have had a Lion bar in years.

That hard 'caramel' is a toffee. Fudge has flavours and is soft, the chewier sort is like what is in Cadbury Fudge. Caramel is gooey.

If you like the tunnocks teacakes you have to find the dark chocolate version. They are something else!

Tunnocks also do “snowballs” similar to the tea cakes with the marshmallow covered in chocolate but without the biscuit base, you might not like it though as the chocolate is covered in desiccated coconut.

Tunnoks also do these things called snow balls but there coated in coconut

Love fudge but prefer homemade as shop bought has a manufactured taste about them. Definition or fudge is - a soft crumbly or chewy sweet made from, sugar, butter, milk/cream. Tends to be more crumbly as cooked to soft ball and not hard ball temp like caramel/toffee. I think the reason why Cadbury’s from Uk tastes different is due to the milk used. 😊

Whoa there a bit SCOTLAND is apart of the UK, they is Judy like saying that California is not part of the USA!!

You need to find a fudge shop next time you visit. There is a great one in Cambridge I’d recommend. The homemade fudge is out if this world.

You need to try the snowball it’s like what you had but with coconut also try a tea cake with jam inside they are so good, you should try some Galaxy chocolate too I think it’s like what you call Dove xxxx

When it says "Jelly popping candy" that sounds very American. In UK we don't call things candy, we call it chocolate.

The problem there is that he said he doesn't like coconut, so giving him a bar covered in toasted coconut is probably not a good idea. But it could be fun seeing it, followed by a Bounty or a Lee's Macaroon bar! 🤣🤣🤣

My American (Michigander) wife has lived here in the U.K with me for over 20 years now. Paula (wife) will no longer even consider Hershey’s any more, which she considers a stage lower than cheap cooking chocolate even though she was brought up on Hershey’s. I occasionally buy her a blast from the past if I see a Baby Ruth or Butterfingers in the store, but over here Cadbury’s rules supreme. We take her family a whole suitcase full of British supplies whenever we visit (almost all, chocolate, gravy granules and British biscuits) So saying there are other chocolate brands of equal merit (e.g. Galaxy) but totally different. However if you want to REALLY experience chocolate heaven you need to try Swiss (not just Toblerone) or better still Belgian chocolate. Cadbury is great, really great, but not in the same league as proper Belgian chocolate (similar to the gulf between Hershey’s and Cadbury). If you want to experience heaven, do as we did and visit Cadbury World in Bourneville Birmingham. You can (and we did) spend the whole day there, learning the history of chocolate, watching new designs, seeing the bars being manufactured and ending with the glory of the gift shop... arrange a second mortgage before you go and take 3 empty suitcases with you for essential supplies (and we only live 100 miles away) Just a detail, as has been pointed out, Scotland IS part of Great Britain, as is Wales Northern Ireland and England, collectively we are the U.K. but made up of the 4 countries. Texas has its own ways and viewpoints, but is still part of the USA as a whole, see our countries in a similar way. Thanks for an interesting video, well look out for more. 👍

OK, so the fudge situation is as follows: Scottish tablet is hardest and quite brittle in the sense that it's very grainy in texture and will crumble the most. English classic fudge is a bit like tablet but a creamier texture(the texture depends on how long its mixed to create crystalization in the cooking process). Classic English fudge recipes don't use condensed milk but most modern and American ones do hence a creamier textures you're used to.

I think half of Scotland (maybe more) went all dreamy when you said they were not British! . Good choice of choc bars to try.

What a beautiful couple, I'm from the Uk and I can't recommend Cadbury's full stop. I have not eaten this rubbish for over 30 years. The Windsor Food Cartel owns it AKA British Royal Family. You may want to research this cartel to see what they are really doing to the food. However, I would recommend Green & blacks this does actually have some chocolate in and Lindt /Lindor, especially the one in red wrappers.

"These are Scottish, they're not British". LOL. I have seen so many Americans thinking Britain is another word for England. Fun fact: English were not the first Britons, Celtics were.

Well, in the medieval period the words Britain and England were used interchangeably. Also our island were known as the Pretannic Isles, which the Romans changed to indicate roughly the area that is England, they called it Britannia. So that is where the confusion comes from. The Celts were not the first Britons as previously a stone age people lived here, but the Celts did establish themselves here.

The bag of fudge will be harder than fudge bought at a fudge shop because it has to travel and be stacked on a shelf for a while. In a fudge shop you choose how much you want and if you want it sliced up and you get it in a paper bag - no preservatives.

And he lent over and couldn’t tell me... so I pushed him in... the other pool attendants said to me”you couldn’t have done it to anyone that deserved it more” he had his phone in his pocket.. 😂

In Scotland we have fudge aswell...its just not as sugary as tablet...more smoother but soft x
