Chocolate Bar… DROOL!
The Infamous Cadbury Crunchie
This delicious British milk chocolate confection with a crunchy honeycomb, toffee, and sugar center is a one-of-a-kind that is, sadly, not distributed in the States.

The Over-The-Top Cadbury Double Decker Bar
This British candy bar is the perfect combination of one layer of chewy nougatine atop a layer of crispy cereal and then coated in delicious milk chocolate perfection. Fun fact; its name was inspired by the British double decker buses.

The Tasty Cadbury Twirl
This yummy chocolate bar originated in Ireland in the early 1970s. Each package contains two finger-like “twirls” of crunchy milk chocolate flakes coated in smooth milk chocolate. Did I mention you get two in each package? You get two!!

The Wonderful Cadbury Wispa
This delicious and velvety milk chocolate UK candy bar was actually discontinued in 2003 and then brought back by popular demand to the UK and Ireland market in 2008.

Nestle’s Kit Kat Chunky
Give me a break (pun intended)! Nestle makes a chunky version of the Kit Kat bar and it’s only sold in Europe?! Not fair! This chocolate bar is basically the same thing as the Kit Kat bar you find in the States except it’s actually one larger, solid “chunky” bar of flaky wafer and chocolate goodness instead of the two or four smaller finger bars. Also, it comes in a variety of flavors including…..peanut butter…drooooool….

The Elusive Nestle Kit Kat Dark
Rejoice dark chocolate connoisseurs! There is in fact a 70% dark chocolate version of the Kit Kat bar! Unfortunately (or fortunately), you’ll have to travel to the UK to try it! This dark chocolate confection was permanently introduced to the UK market in 2006 and has occasionally made small appearances on US shelves as limited edition releases (which quickly sold out). What does it taste like, you ask? Like a dark chocolate Kit Kat bar of course!

The Original Nestle Yorkie Bar
The Yorkie was originally created in the late 1970s by Eric Nicoli of Yorkshire, England, hence its name. This milk chocolate bar was originally composed of six chocolate chunks with each letter of Y-O-R-K-I-E molded into each chunk. Today, there are only five chunks of delicious milk chocolate with its entire name molded in each chunk.
