Brit Bars Vol. 2

One of the great things about the UK is that these are available from the first of the year until a month after Easter. Another great thing about the UK, is the Cadbury Twisted which is available all year round. The Twisted is the classic Cadbury Egg fashioned into a twisted Twix bar shape. Very nice for those times of the year where one is missing the gooey goodness of the egg.
A surprise sweet that I am really enjoying are Starbursts. The fact that everyone in the UK uses real sugar instead of HFCS as a sweetener makes these moderately enjoyable candies extraordinary over here. The downside however is that one of the original fruit flavours over here is Blackcurrant. which tastes extraordinarily like a raisin. No good.
The last candy bar that I love is a Cadbury Double Decker. Named after London's famous bi-level buses. This treat is best described as a combination of two of my favorite American sweets. A Three Musketeers bar and a Crunch bar. It is a bit thicker than your normal candy bar and is a thing of beauty.
Though, since we all know about British dentists and their handiwork, I'll try to lay off the sweet stuff.

BritBars: Cadbury Twirl

We went to the Contenent this weekend. A post with more details and to follow. Here and now is my first installment of BritBars where I write about differnt kinds of British candy bars.

Many of the candy bars in the UK are made and or distributed by Cadbury UK. The Twirl is similar in shape to a Twix bar back in the states. Inside the milk chocolate coating however instead of being crispy is more milk chocolate in a wavy layer. Upon biting into it, I was expecting a crispness similar to a Twix, and was a little perplexed that all it was was more chocolate. The tag line for the bar is "The Intense Chocolate Hit" and that is what it is.

If you have any criteria for judging a candy bar feel free to give me it. I was thinking choclatiness, difference from US candy bars, overall taste, any others would be great.

As for now, I'm going to give the Twirl an overall ranking of 5 out of ten.
