British Candy

Isn't British Candy awesome? ??

I recently got to try Crunchie, Milky Bar and Fox's Party Rings and I had a lovely post that the LJ application refused to post because I'm currently under throttling! !!!!

Cadbury's was bought recently by an american company. And they're changing the recipes of t heir British chocolate to US chocolate.

And as a result their chocolate now tastes like puke and chemicals. And sales are collapsing.

Which is to say, yes. British sweets are usually much better.

Ugh, that's so disappointing to hear but maybe the falling sales will make them change it back.

I also like that when something is EU approved I'm almost guaranteed I can eat it since I wasn't supposed to have artificial sweets because of my Epilepsy but now it turns out my mom and I are allergic to most of them so that's extra incentive.

The main ingredient is now corn syrup and palm oil. Cabdurys chocolate never used to include either of those.

UGH! My mom and I try to avoid palm oil for ethical reasons.

We got a box of Cadbury's Quality STreet over c hristmas, opened it up, and just the weirdest vomit-tinged chemical scent came out of it. And just... yeah. They went in the bin. And they were mostly palm oil and corn syrup. Couldn't even be described as 'chocolate' anymore, it was 'chocolate analogue' on the ingredients.
