Uncover a world of pure creativeness. After the unhappy passing of Gene Wilder, most of us had a second remembering our favourite scenes from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Manufacturing unit. I used to be no exception. Tim Burton can suck my EverlastingGobstopper, there was solely ONE WONKA. Now it is true, I am in all probability the worst of the Fats Guys for making an attempt out new snack treats available on the market. However my associates took me to an Irish retailer, which had two enormous aisles of British sweet and different treats… and I am right here to say: The Candyman Can!
Let’s get the straightforward ones out of the best way. Yorkie and the Dairymilk Bars have been straight up chocolate bars. UK chocolate is simply higher. I like Hershey and would not dare badmouth them. However at the same time as a lad, I beloved going to Grandma’s home, as a result of she had the Cadbury… and that was at all times particular. Now the Cadbury Shorties are shortbread cookies with one facet painted in chocolate. They’re respectable however not so good as I would hoped. (In the event you’re aware of UK treats, McVittie’s are higher).
However the Cadbury shortcake SNACK! is strictly what I used to be searching for. It is considerably just like Keebler Fudge Grahams, with out the graham taste… ish. I imply, I do know these have been simply “shortcake” however they’d extra taste than simply butter cookie with chocolate… and oh that Cadbury chocolate. Mmm…
The Double Decker is described as “milk chocolate with a comfortable nougat and a crispy cereal backside” so I wasn’t positive what precisely cereal they meant. It is just like a milky approach bar however with rice crispies and extra chocolate. It positively was good, however will not be my go-to the following time I replenish.
For a palette cleanser, I needed to strive one thing fruity…
In the event you’ve ever wished bitter patch children with out the bitter, then Jelly Tots are for you. Sugary and chewy, these tasty little treats may be crammed down your candy-hole by the fist full. No marvel the British are recognized for dangerous tooth… bear in mind to brush, as a result of these little suckers will about as far out of your tooth as Mike TV is from his cowboy costume.
And final, however oh actually not least, the star of my little procuring journey to the sweet retailer…
Cadbury Choc Chip Cookies… lord assist me.
There’s nothing to say. Do you continue to want convincing? REALLY? They’re precisely what you assume they’re. They’re Chips Ahoy cookies with GODDAMN CADBURY CHOCOLATE CHIPS exploding via them. They’re magic. No retailer purchased cookie will stand as much as these, no chocolate chip ones anyway. Pepperidge Farm? Put out to pasture. Chips Ahoy? Sunk. My solely criticism? There’s solely 12 cookies per bundle. Three spherical bays, every with a stack of 4 cookies. So actually, I simply want I had purchased a couple of of those cookies as a result of sadly over the course of a pair days, they left my life as whimsically as they entered it.
In the event you assume that any chocolate treats, cookies, candies, no matter beat out the Cadbury crew… I’ve just one factor left to say:
RIP Gene Wilder… you’ll by no means be forgotten, you may be celebrated.
