Americans Try Classic British Supermarket Chocolates - 17 Varieties! 

You're lucky we love you. Comparing a Yorkie to Hershey's would start a war if anyone else said it.

'What is this Fudge bar?! Ohhh it's fudge! 😂

Anyone who don't like crunchie needs ro see a doctor 😂

The crunchy is just honeycomb guys 😂😂

I would never call club a chocolate bar, they're chocolate biscuits normally put in lunchboxes or eaten as a snack

"It's too big for my mouth to enjoy it being in there. " LINDSEY! 😂😂

You know the sugar high kicks in when Steve starts singing ❤😂

If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, join our club 🎶

Enjoy the chocolate guys. It doesn’t taste of vomit and there’s no harsh chemicals included.

I was really surprised they didn't enjoy the matchmakers that much because I don't remember a time when a box of them wasn't finished in one go 😂

Fudge used to be marketed more at kids. “A finger of fudge is just enough ….” had some hilarious send ups😂

The lightbulb moment when you realised the Cadbury Fudge was... fudge! 😆

Who remembers Golden Cups? The small bars, oh one if my favourite

whoever told you to let AERO melt in you mouth and not chew is wrong. Just eat it like normal chocolate

Crunchie Bar the centre is Honeycomb, my all time fave bar, i don't know anyone in the uk that doesn't love a Crunchie Bar it very popular here.

Fudge and Crunchie are two of the BEST Cadbury bars... "Quality Street" has an interesting history, it was named after a famous stage show/play from the early 1900s by J.M. Barrie (the writer of Peter Pan). It was created in the 1930s by Mackintosh as a "working class" chocolate selection as luxury chocolates were very expensive at the time, and named after the play to induce a nostalgic feeling. They came in a large tin rather than a box (which has steadily shrunk over the decades) and became a popular British staple at Christmas, along with their Cadbury alternative, Roses. Mackintosh ended up being bought by Nestle in the 80s. (I'm not sure why Matchmakers have been put under the Quality Street branding as they never used to be - perhaps it's because of the Christmas connection, as Matchmakers are also a popular Christmas treat)

Hi guys….i think our treacle would be the same as your molasses? 😘

Toffee crisp is puffed rice with toffee

It's honeycomb in the crunchie...yummy! Defo one of my faves .

I googled it. Treacle is any uncrystallised syrup made during the refining of sugar. The most common forms of treacle are golden syrup, a pale variety, and black treacle, a darker variety similar to molasses

Wow Crunchie in last place!!!!!!! That has to be Top 3. Same goes for the poor old Fudge bar.

Anyone else- on spotting the fudge bar- start singng "🎶A finger of Fudge is just enough.....to give your kids a treat!🎶"? It's ingrained...... The Matchmakers are something you'd pick up as a small gift to give a host when visiting, or as a host you might offer them with the coffee at the end of a meal. They are not usually something you'd pick up as a family everyday snack. Club biscuits are more of a substantial snack mid afternoon to keep you going till dinner than a 'chocolate' treat. (" 🎶If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, join our club!"🎶) They come in several flavours. Not sure about melting the aeros.....I'd just chomp down on them. The inside of a Crunchie bar is what was traditionally known as 'cinder toffee' or sometimes 'honeycomb' toffee. It probably did come as a surprise if you weren't expecting it. It's made by boling up sugar and Golden Syrup ( a light sugar syrup- a bit like maple syrup) until amber coloured, then adding some bicarbonate of soda, and heating until it foams, then pouring into a greased tin to set. You then break it up into bite sized pieces with a toffee hammer.

If you actually looked into it, you’d discover that many, if not most of the chocolate bars now attributed to Nestlè in the UK were not actually created by them and are theirs by result of a rather contentious takeover by Nestlè back in the 80’s/90’s. Weirdly some items retained the original manufacturers name and some didn’t. Just as Cadbury did when they took over Fry’s (the Creams and Turkish Delight stayed Fry’s but the Cream Eggs became Cadbury for example). Club aren’t classed as a chocolate bar, they are referred to as chocolate biscuits…which I don’t think is a classification you have in the US. But a chocolate biscuit is essentially a cross between a biscuit and a chocolate bar. They are almost always individually wrapped and contain some form of biscuit or wafer that is covered in chocolate and are generally closer in size (though mostly a little bit bigger) to a biscuit. But both Club and the two finger KitKat would be regarded as chocolate biscuits and found in a the biscuit aisle of the supermarket.

you need a cuppa tea with that!

You're allowed to eat it how you want 😂 I don't know anyone who sits and waits for it to melt in their mouthes, just chew it.

It says Fudge on the packet. Why the surprise????

So glad you are biting into the bars rather than chopping them up. The mouth feel of biting into them makes a huge difference and the bars are specifically engineered with that in mind.

As a kid I would take Club's in my school lunch box as a snack biscuit. Best way to eat a club was to nibble away the chocolate from the sides and end before eating the biscuit, there was always a side that was really thick with chocolate and it was trying to work out which side was the tick side first.

Chrunchie and Matchmakers are probably my favourite things on the table. I like toffee crisp too (and I’m glad they are nothing like Reece’s as I hate peanuts and peanut butter). Picnic is probably one of my very favourites. Steve said he would prefer it without the raisins but for me they make it. If I am going for a straightforward chocolate bar with no additions I would go for Galaxy.

I had to laugh at what about you said about being too sweet. America has more sugar/sweetner in their Chocolate and Candies than any other Country.

Confess I was surprised at your reaction to 'Crunchie'...... I love them ;-)

Caramac, when it first came out (MacIntoshes), it was AMAZING. It was much darker in colour and really was caramel chocolate. Nestle bought them and changed the recipes of all of MacIntoshes' beloved range. Now they are revolting. Treacle is a thick form of syrup, which I believe was not rationed during the war. So we use it in many ways. Clubs are biscuits and not "candy" bars. We have many, many ranges of chocolate covered biscuits. My son loves Matchmakers. At Christmas, they bring out many varieties, and I try to get him a box of each😂 he's only 50 😂❤❤👵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌹🌹

Caramac is an alternative to chocolate for those who suffer headaches from chocolate. Steve, you need to react to the Milky Bar adverts. I think Sophia will enjoy them.

Caramac, Milky Bar and Finger of Fudge used to be be marketed specifically towards smaller children.

Penguin biscuits have jokes on the wrappers

Your taste buds have been shot by the amount of additives you are used to. It’s quite surprising that you don’t know what treacle actually is and also what actual fudge or honeycomb is either. You’ve mixed chocolate biscuits with chocolate sweets. The biscuits are more normally eaten as a complement with say a cup of tea or coffee.

Finger of Fudge is just enough to give yourself a treat. Anyone remember the 70s/80s TV ad.

At this point you can only presume they don't put the ingredients or details on American chocolate bars, hence the "What is that" over & over instead of just reading the wrapper 😂

The crunchie is chocolate covered honeycomb, I think you call it cinder toffee in the USA. I love it!

I don't know anyone who lets aero melt in their mouth. Eat choc the way you want to . 😊

I don't know a single person who lets aero melt in their mouth . Just eat the damn thing

I used to have the inside of the Crunchie (without the chocolate), around Bonfire Night. We used to call it 'cinder toffee' because it looked like pieces of partially burnt wood.

I think Aero is great (used to be better when it was Rowntrees) but needs to be crunched as the bubbles give it a crispy texture.

Oh Lindsey, you made me howl with laughter when you said about it being too big for your mouth to enjoy it being in there 😂😂 I almost choked on my cup of Yorkshire tea 😂😂

You were lucky to get Caramac…. It was recently discontinued 😢

Speaking of 'Quality Street', you need to look into Quality Street chocolates. They're a staple item of any British Christmas, with pretty much every home having a tin (or plastic tub these days) of them on their sideboard or coffee table for the duration of the festive season. They've become contentious over the years due to the gradual shrinking of the size of the tin/tub and the types of chocolates included, but certainly in my family we always have them at Christmas, along with Cadbury's Roses and Celebrations.

The over reaction at honeycomb in the crunchie 😂

Im sitting here salivating. I'm a chocoholic, except for white chocolate, but i have to be restrictive due to diabetes. Another great reaction. Nana Karen UK

Hi you two , I've maintained a large amount of respect for you both!, until you got to the Matchmakers! Now my respect has turned to mistrust! ❤

Don’t confuse Supermarket chocolate with branded chocolate that you can buy off any supermarket shelf. When it was titled supermarket chocolate, I assumed it would be comparing their own versions of well-known brands with the branded version.

Whoever told you to let aero melt in your mouth,lied to you just eat it,,it melts as you eat it anyway..🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍👍👍👍

A Club is a chocolate coated biscuit rather than a chocolate bar with biscuit in it.That sounds very pedantic but I guess that it's about the expectation of the eating experience. I would have a Club biscuit with tea.

Milkybar I think everyone in the UK probably knows the theme tune to milkybar such iconic, the milkybar kid is strong and tough

Chocolate in the US is deliberately bad because Hershey's has a lot of power and doesn't want quality chocolate on the market.

A Yorkie bar is named after the original company & the location where it was produced, before Nestle bought them out. Rowantree (Rowantree's of York) was the name of the original confectionary company, and the bar was launched nearly 50 years ago in 1976. It used to have the slogan "It's Not for Girls" as it was marketed towards men due to its original larger and chunkier nature (it's shrunk a lot since then). Due to the moves towards striking out misogyny, they were made to drop the slogan to save the brand.

Fudge is fudge. Cadbury's fudge is fudge coated in chocolate. Chocolate fudge is fudge with chocolate flavouring.

You did a great job putting this video together. Much easier to follow the video when you leave them in or with the wrapper.

treacle is like molasses-you use it to make gingercake and flapjacks etc-it's gooey and very sweet

The ‘honeycomb’ in crunchie is cindertoffee. When I ate dairy crunchie and fudge were my favourite chocolate bars

Crunchy is honey comb

True treacle dates back to Victorian times. The pale, refined molasses is notably sweeter and has a much more mellow flavor than molasses. Nowadays, treacle is a blend of molasses and refinery syrup. It ranges in color from light gold to nearly black. British treacle can be substituted for molasses in most recipes, but much less frequently will molasses work as a replacement for treacle. If you do substitute molasses for treacle, use the lightest, unsulphured molasses you can find.

While the Swiss conglomerate Nestlé owns so many formerly independent UK confectionary companies, it hasn't unified them entirely. So Yorkies, formerly made by Terry's of York, still remains very distinct from Aero, formerly made by Rowntree's of York. Nestlé produces both these brands, plus Macintosh's chocolate, at one factory, but on different lines, in York.

Seeing two Americans trying to understand the concept of honeycomb cracks me up. 😂🤣

Aeros bubbles are the eeason why you taste the chocolate so strongly. You are allowed to just chew it.

Okay, so here is a tale about biscuits. - the club is a chocolate biscuit. A chocolate biscuit is different to a chocolate bar and also different to a regular biscuit. If you went to someone's house and along with your cup of tea they put on the table a plate of biscuits, then you are a welcomed guest. If they put a plate of chocolate biscuits out then you are a respected guest who they are trying to impress. If they put a plate of chocolate bars out on a plate then they are clearly nuts with more money than sense. If they give you a slice of homemade cake along with your tea then you are either family or royalty or a priest and if you get no biscuit, bar or cake with your tea then you have either obviously upset them at some point or are an estate agent or insurance salesperson.

Speaking as a 75 year old, in my childhood, the brands were Cadbury, Nestle, Fry's, Terry's, Duncan, MacIntosh, Rowntree, Galaxy (probably a few more), and each had their own popular ranges......these companies were taken over by the multi global firms from the 1970s onwards, and the recipes were tweaked, totally changed etc. I can't think of any, to be honest, that tastes as it did back then (unless my taste buds don't work as they did lol)

As you've found, here in the UK the texture of a chocolate bar is just as much a part of the experience as the taste. Yorkies and Aeros and many other bars were made by Rowntrees of York until Nestle bought the hundred year old company in 1988.

Yes just eat the aero lol , that texture is awesome we grew up loving that style of chocolate 😊

Rowntree originally made Yorkie. Rowntree was based in Yorkshire which explains the name of the bar. Rowntree also made Aero, Smarties, After Eight Mints and others. Another sweet manufacturer was Mackintosh who originally created Quality Street then merged with Rowntree to become Rowntree Mackintosh . That company was taken over by Nestlé. Joseph Rowntree was a Quaker philanthropist and, besides manufacturing chocolate, set up a trust fund to help poorer families. Cadbury and Fry were also Quaker families Edit: yes, Steve - Matchmakers were not always made by Nestlé but by Rowntree originally.

I have never ever experienced what you seem to think of as a chocolate high, regardless of how much i eat ! It doesn't affect me whatsoever, and I have only ever seen small kids get overactive after having it !

Crunchie has what we call honeycomb middle, this is a sugar toffee that has been foamed ( like insulation) by introducing bicarbonate of soda, which causes it to foam up, then set, add some honey flavour and you get honeycomb

It's called Yorkie because they had to call it something. Sod all to do with Yorkshire though ! Oh ! And it's NOT for Girls !! 😂

Just to answer a couple of your questions: Treacle is mined deep underground. It is fossil sugar from the glucosian period. Yorkie gets it's name from how the chocolate is prepared. Just like when wine is made the cocoa seeds are soaked before being trampled to extract the juice. Yorkie breed a terrier specifically for this process. Hundreds of them gallop around in the vat and yields are up to 30% greater than human or mechanical extractions.

How have you never had honeycomb before?

wow how dare you, its honeycomb in the middle covered in chocolate, delicious

Can't believe the reaction to the Crunchie and the Fudge. 😅

Whoever told you to let Aero ‘Melt’ in your mouth was having a laugh. You eat them like any other chocolate.

Treacle is like Molasses. It is very rich. I have eaten loads of caramac chocolate , especially when I was a kid, but I never knew it had treacle in it ! . lol.

To enjoy matchmakers, you need to be full of Christmas dinner, including Yorkshire puddings......and sit in front of the tv....🤣

Crunchie is a GOAT of a chocolate bar....the inside is honeycomb

Lindsay isn't allowed that Yorkie

When I was a kid, Nestlé was always pronounced "Nessels", even by the company themselves in TV ads etc. 'Nessels Milky Bar' anyone?! I'm not really sure when we cut over to pronouncing it the (Swiss) French way!

Mint matchmakers are ridiculously moreish how can you not like them ? And the fudge ? I'm shocked 😮

I appreciate that you both like different things and stand by your likes and dislikes. It makes your reactions more fun and real.

Sweets like they used to have in jars. Apple, pear and lemon drops, mint humbugs and various swirls, ropes, laces and such. Cola bottles and sours.

Treacle is basically the UK name for Blackstrap Molasses that you know in the US. It is what is left over during the refining process of cane sugar

Almost spat my drink out when Lindsey was talking about the thumbs up system, and Steve just be like 'I'ma give it a five'. 😅 Great vid guys, love the content. Keep it up.

wow, that is the most visceral reaction to honeycomb i've ever seen

Treacle is any uncrystallised syrup made from refining sugar. The most common form of treacle is golden syrup.

I’d never call club chocolate bars, they’re biscuits! The fact that Caramac has been withdrawn tells you that not many people liked it!

I’m so disappointed that you don’t adore crunchies. Best chocolate bar of all time easily.

If you have a hot drink , your mouth is warmer and melts the aero quicker … pro tip 😂

Mint match makers are my favourite. 🍫🍫 x

Treacle is like molasses

What you have to remember is all these Nestle products were originally British, and made by Rowntree Macintosh of York, hence the Yorkie. Rowntree Macintosh sold out to Nestle in the mid 1980s

Crunchie is gorgeous, I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t enjoy a crunchie! You have to let the honeycomb melt in your mouth

Toffee Crisp and the milk chocolate Aero are my favourite There are 2 kinds of treacle one is generally called Golden Syrup the other is Black Treacle Golden syrup is quite pale and very sweet Black Treacle is black (obviously) and has a bitter sweet taste a bit like molasses

Caramac is a old classic 👊

The crunchie bars are the best . Club bars are always made for kids lunch boxes . X

It's ok, we Brits are a nation of lawn-mowers. Tell your neighbour he's famous :D
