American Tries British Chocolate For the First Time

As an American I have never tried British chocolate before. Today I am very excited to try several British chocolate bars for the first time including the Dairy Milk, Flake, Twirl, crunchie, and wispa. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!

Ever since Cadbury was bought by Kraft, the quality of the ingredients has been lowered for greater profit.

I tried a Hershey bar once, and it was truly disgusting. It tasted exactly like vomit.
UK chocolate is lovely, and Swiss chocolate is astonishing.

The difference between the Dairy Milk and the Wispa, Twirl etc... is the texture. We like chocolate with different textures.

From the UK, now living in New Orleans… how i miss British Chocolate. My mouth was salivating watching this lol

You can thank hersey for keeping British chocolate low key in America because they know that British chocolate will out sell them every time

How many people started singing "only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate tastes like chocolate never tasted before" when the flake appeared.

“Flake— that doesn’t really tell me too much”
Oooh boy, trust me. It does 🤣

Spaniard here. UK's chocolates are WAY BETTER than US chocolates. Glad you enjoyed them! My favourite one is a bar called Aero!

Until you've tried a Cadbury's Double Decker you're missing out!

I just returned from a UK vacation and fell in love with their chocolate! I loved the Twirls, Wispas and the Crunchie bar. I also loved the Fruit Pastilles. Ive already purchased Fruit Padtilles and Crunchies on Amazon. Im ticked off the US chocolate is so bad.

He will lose his mind if he gets his hands on a Terry's Chocolate Orange !

Our chocolate doesn’t need details on the packaging, we grow up knowing every single one. Glad you liked them 😁

He chewed the Dairy Milk!
Crunched right down on it!
Just pop it in and let it melt.
You can thank me later 😂

Fun fact. The middle of a Crunchie is called cinder toffee. It was originally sold in blocks without any chocolate on it until Cadburys took it and made it into a long block covered in chocolate.. mmm!

For those who want to know the textures let me have a try at describing. The dairy milk is cadbury's version of "It's just a choco;late bar" as in it's just a bar of cadbury's chocolate.

The Wispa is Cadbury's version of Nestle's Aero bar if you've ever tried that. It is aerated so it has bubbles in the chocolate. Side note I prefer the Wispa Gold which is the same thing but with a layer of caramel running under the aerated core.

The Flake is chocolate that is piped out in a long thin strip into the bar mould and the layers of chocolate wrap and fold over one another. Interesting aside if you get an ice cream from an ice cream van in Britain they will almost always serve a "99" which is the generic vanilla soft serve ice cream in a cone with a flake pushed into it.

The Twirl is thesame as the Flake but with a layer of chocolate coating the outside of the Flake.

The Crunchie is honeycomb with chocolate around it.

Other classic Cadbury's bars do have different flavours and fillings but you did happen to get mainly just chocolate bars. There are also different versions of the bars in the video, like the Wispa Gold I mentioned or the different variants of Dairy Milk like the fruit & nut etc.

Yes British chocolate is (in my opinion) better than American chocolate. I assume because of standards on cocoa levels and also using sugar rather than high fructose corn syrup...as much. But On that I am guessing.

People always forget the most important fact about a Flake.
It's the only chocolate designed to not melt in direct sunlight, hence it's use in ice creams at the beach

You should open a PO box so people can send in british treats and snacks so you can understand them better

[nothingspecialeither]

From memory, i believe the main reason why American chocolate has (according to others) a nasty taste (sometimes describing it as "vomit like") compared to British chocolate, is that American chocolate has an ingredient to lengthen it's shelf life & that ingredient is butyric acid (which can be found in vomit)

[penname]

The inside of a Crunchie is the confectionery version of honeycomb and is actually a kind of caramelised sugar. In the old days, I believe they called it “cinder toffee” (in Britain, at least), maybe because it cracks when you bite it like the cinders/ashes spitting from a log fire.

When I was in England in 1980 and 83 with my parents, we loved buying the Cornish flaky…..Cornish ice cream with a flaky in a cone. We loved them.
