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 facility. I used to be no exception. Tim Burton can suck my EverlastingGobstopper, there was solely ONE WONKA. Now it is true, I am most likely the worst of the Fats Guys for making an attempt out new snack treats in the marketplace. However my mates took me to an Irish retailer, which had two large aisles of British sweet and different treats… and I am right here to say: The Candyman Can!
Let’s get the simple ones out of the best way. Yorkie and the Dairymilk Bars had been straight up chocolate bars. UK chocolate is simply higher. I really like Hershey and would not dare badmouth them. However at the same time as a lad, I cherished going to Grandma’s home, as a result of she had the Cadbury… and that was all the time particular. Now the Cadbury Shorties are shortbread cookies with one aspect painted in chocolate. They’re first rate however inferior to I would hoped. (If you happen to’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 much like Keebler Fudge Grahams, with out the graham taste… ish. I imply, I do know these had been simply “shortcake” however that they had extra taste than simply butter cookie with chocolate… and oh that Cadbury chocolate. Mmm…
The Double Decker is described as “milk chocolate with a tender nougat and a crispy cereal backside” so I wasn’t certain what precisely cereal they meant. It is much like a milky manner bar however with rice crispies and extra chocolate. It positively was good, however will not be my go-to the subsequent time I refill.
For a palette cleanser, I needed to strive one thing fruity…
If you happen to’ve ever wished bitter patch children with out the bitter, then Jelly Tots are for you. Sugary and chewy, these tasty little treats might be crammed down your candy-hole by the fist full. No marvel the British are identified 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 definitely not least, the star of my little purchasing journey to the sweet retailer…
Cadbury Choc Chip Cookies… lord assist me.
There may be nothing to say. Do you continue to want convincing? REALLY? They’re precisely what you suppose they’re. They’re Chips Ahoy cookies with GODDAMN CADBURY CHOCOLATE CHIPS exploding by 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 package deal. Three spherical bays, every with a stack of 4 cookies. So actually, I simply want I had purchased a number 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.
If you happen to suppose 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.
