I'm late to the party, but seeing as you mentioned you could smell coconut in the Lion bar, I think coconut oil or coconut butter has recently been used in chocolate instead of palm oil. I can definitely smell coconut whenever I tear into a bar of Dairy Milk which I've never noticed before, maybe Mondolez (Kraft) are using a different recipe compared to what Cadbury's used to use. To be honest I've never read the ingredients on the back of a bar of Dairy Milk as it's usually been scoffed and the wrapper is in the bin.

Tablet is made with condensed milk, fudge with cream or clotted cream. Tablet is harder and grainier than soft fudge made with white granulated sugar, fudge with demerara sugar. Tablet is a traditional Scottish confection. To make tablet requires heating to a higher temperature than fudge, and also beating tablet is a much harder task - beat till it thickens, whereas fudge just needs beating till it loses it's shine. The less beating of fudge makes it softer. Now I have a huge craving for them.

[@ameliagfawkes512]

Tablet is firm, grainy and can crumble. Fudge, ideally, is creamy and can be soft firm to firm. There are several kinds of caramel. There's the soft, runny kind, the soft runny kind that's milky looking, the hard, creamy kind and the hard, brittle kind. Then, there's toffee, which is firm and creamy. All of them can have other flavours, eg rum n' raisin fudge or treacle toffee. A lot of companies sell sweets called fudge, but if it's grainy, it's more like tablet. The UK has a million different, fantastic sweets - everything from Midget Gems, which are little jewel coloured, fruit flavoured, gummy sweets to Soor Plooms (Scots for Sour Plums), which have a sour, tangy taste . You wouldn't eat a whole bag of them. Cadbury's is made in Poland now, I think, and not that great - it's gone a bit plasticky and tasteless. There are a lot of smaller companies making much better quality chocolate in the UK (or, at least, there were) .

I don't know the name of the American company who bought out Cadbury's but almost immediately they tried to reduce the amount of milk in the chocolate ( which is what makes its so good!) and we Brits boycotted it as it was pretty awful compared to what we've been used to. So they realised they had to go back to original recipe. that was when they started to put some weird fillings in ( to save money) some of which are ok.

Hi you two! Thanking you for your very entertaining videos! Love watching you trying British sweets & chocolate & snacks. Best wishes to you from me in Kirkcaldy, Fife Scotland. IF you ever visit Scotland you MUST try a fudge doughnut made by the famous bakery Fisher & Donaldson. They supply the Queen with produce. Also try their Coffee Towers - both products are heavenly!

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

Thank you! We hope to visit Scotland later in the year depending on how everything goes the next several months.. Whenever we do make it, we will look that bakery up. Thank you for the recommendation!

[@paulamorris9497]

You need to try cadbury creme egg only available for few months also my favorite is cadbury whole nut some of our best chocolate bar are no longer made like texan bar and cabana bar im sure other brits will agree.

[@Inaflap]

That hard 'caramel' is a toffee. Fudge has flavours and is soft, the chewier sort is like what is in Cadbury Fudge. Caramel is gooey.

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

Thank you!

[@cainsmyth53]

I think you are talking about Toffee. Which we also have. Toffee fudge and caramel all quite different yet similar.. toffee would be often chewy fudge is soft and caramel is gooey

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

Thank for the explanation. 😁

[@krumble104]

But Scots are Brits... literally!! Scotland is part of the island known as Great Britain. .... from a Brit! x👍

[@erinrudge7094]

OK, so the fudge situation is as follows: Scottish tablet is hardest and quite brittle in the sense that it's very grainy in texture and will crumble the most. English classic fudge is a bit like tablet but a creamier texture(the texture depends on how long its mixed to create crystalization in the cooking process). Classic English fudge recipes don't use condensed milk but most modern and American ones do hence a creamier textures you're used to.

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

Thank you for clearing that up for us! 😃

British fudge is pretty much the same as American fudge. However, when most Americans try British fudge they try the Cadbury bar which is very odd and not really fudge. I believe this is where the confusion starts. The fudge you are eating is harder than usual because it is the prepacked kind that is wrapped and bagged. If you buy fudge that is cut to order in a sweet shop in the UK then it is much softer and comes in literally hundreds of flavours. Certain regions of England are well known for their fudge. Scottish tablet is different. It has a crumbly texture and is made with slightly different ingredients. I don't enjoy it as much as fudge.

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

I think it was the Cadbury bar that confused us. Thanks for the info! 😃

[@alisonsmith4801]

You need to try local markets, or Christmas markets, the fudge there is amazing, and the huge amount of flavours is fantastic, personally my favourite are Strawberries and cream, by the way, Tunnocks, although Scottish are still British, it's like saying Cadburys is English because it's made in England, it's still very much British.

[@forearthbelow]

I wonder what you would make of Fry's Turkish Delight or some plain/dark chocolate. Nice channel, sub'd!!!

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

Thank you! I think we've tried Turkish Delight and a couple plain and dark chocolate, but if you have any specific brands you think we should look for, let us know!

[@stevegray1308]

When it says "Jelly popping candy" that sounds very American. In UK we don't call things candy, we call it chocolate.

[@hooplyhobla]

I can assure you that’s what it states on the label on the bar in the UK.

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

Yes, it does sound American, but our American Cadbury doesn't make those!

[@orangerer157]

In my city Cardiff we call candy sweets and chocolate

[@mdensham]

The winter gingerbread is the best part of christmas

[@ElizabethDebbie24]

Whoa there a bit SCOTLAND is apart of the UK, they is Judy like saying that California is not part of the USA!!

[@slytheringingerwitch]

Clotted cream is made in both Cornwall and Devon however there are differences such as a cream tea and do you put jam on first or cream. In Cornwall its jam first and Devon it's cream first. I live in Cornwall so you can guess which way I do it.

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

Thanks for the info!

[@capcolombie3834]

Scotland is part of Britain, so they are British as well as Scottish.

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

Thank you for the info

[@lordprefab5534]

Scotland is on the landmass known as Britain.

[@richiep1713]

I have a unique way of eating my Tunnocks Wafers. I bite each end off, then without using my hands I use it as a straw to suck up my tea or coffee (you get about 3 sucks on hot liquid before it fails) Then put your head back and let it drop into your mouth for an awesome experience 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@johncummings634]

try malteesers

[@mefw]

For Chocolate to be called Chocolate in the UK it has to have no less that 20% cocoa solids, its normally 23%. I have read that in the US you only need 10% of cocoa solids to be called Chocolate and Hershey use about 11% that is why US chocolate taste cheap

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

[@jstewart3799]

What a beautiful couple, I'm from the Uk and I can't recommend Cadbury's full stop. I have not eaten this rubbish for over 30 years. The Windsor Food Cartel owns it AKA British Royal Family. You may want to research this cartel to see what they are really doing to the food. However, I would recommend Green & blacks this does actually have some chocolate in and Lindt /Lindor, especially the one in red wrappers.

[@fraxinus_ash]

Kraft foods (Mondelez international) own Cadbury's actually, and Green and Blacks were bought by Cadbury so they're both the same company. Lindt is Swiss.

[@nic3525]

@@fraxinus_ash they may now own Cadbury but it started in the UK and is UK instution and herserys have said they will not mess with the chocolate as its what breathing is used to

[@jennimckean3697]

We call the "crisp" inside a rice crispie. They're a British cereal (also known as rice puffs or crisped rice)

[@jennimckean3697]

You need to try a milky way, flake, pork scratchings and actual decent tea made by a Brit

[@BeardyChefDaddy]

I think half of Scotland (maybe more) went all dreamy when you said they were not British! . Good choice of choc bars to try.

[@ryanmcnamara7553]

Try the different flavours of Walkers nonesuch Toffee. Around 8 flavours and all are great but the double chocolate ones are awesome. Hi from Cumbria

[@GUMEY10]

Starbars are my favourite mm

[@theweeangryscotsman8766]

There is also Tunnocks Caramel Logs and also Dark Chocolate Teacakes, oh and Tunnocks Snowballs.

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

Thank you for the info! I bet I will love them all!

[@theweeangryscotsman8766]

You're more than welcome, Tunnocks products are brilliant, being Scottish myself they're 100% a Scottish Tradition lol

[@delskioffskinov]

Ask karen to get you tunnocks caramel logs! the same as the caramel wafer you like but dipped in toasted coconut! omg! they are amazing!

[@TheMagicGeekdom]
