London Sweets

I may be wrong on this, but I'm pretty sure that Britain may have the most candy bars and cookies of any country on this spinning globe. And talk about variety and creativity! Here's a sampling of some sweets you will definitely want to try when you're Londonside. (And if you can't wait, order them direct here.)

Guess the marketing peeps at this manufacturer were looking to corner that male chocolate-eating population. I ate it -- and I'm a woman. So there. It's actually just a nice milky solid chocolate. Nothing special.


I'm a big fan of Mint Aero. I was sceptical at first, but was on-board after my first try. It has a lite mint airy center. The color is so fake, but the taste is delish.
If you like dark chocolate and coconut -- you're golden. It's a lot like Mounds and used to be available in the US.

Like a bar version of the Cadbury Creme Egg. What's not to love?

This is a popular treat. A flaky stick of chocolate often used to dress up a dish or cone of ice cream.

Now for some to make ya giggle:

Russian Roulette

Now, on to the biscuits (cookies) and puddings (steamed cake):

My personal favorite cookie in the entire world. You have not lived till you tasted a Hob Nob. You can lucky sometimes in the international foods section of your supermarket -- you might snag a package of this delightful oaty, whole grain cookie.



Not as awful as it sounds... it's a spongy raisin filled angel-food cake. Best if served warm.
