Americans Trying British Candy - British Candy Box Review | Christmas Box

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Have you ever had any of these British treats? If so, what's your favorite? Let us know!

[@AnonEyeMouse]

As all the flavour on a crisp is in the dusting, you don't need to eat the potato... just lick it.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Nathan here, and I want to say that you have a good thought! Sadly, I’ve tried it and I still get my allergic reaction. 🙁Since I’m allergic to the starch in the potato, I still come in contact with the starch when I lick the crisp. Thank you for trying to help me enjoy flavored crisps more!

[@robsteventon3318]

I’m quite partial to the snow bites, but they are obviously seasonal.. Cadbury mini eggs are my favourite though. Never seen gingerbread matchmakers, but mint matchmakers are bliss!! Chicken crisps (sorry, chips) are pretty standard over here in the U.K. personally I think Cadbury’s chocolate doesn’t taste as good as it used to, the recipe has definitely changed since it was taken over by Kraft, it’s just not the same! Galaxy chocolate is definitely superior, at least as far as average U.K. chocolate goes! Good video guys, would like to see another!!

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Thanks for sharing all this with us! It’s great getting to know our viewers 😁 Also, thank you for understanding that saying chips comes more naturally for us, but we are trying our best to say crisps in future reviews. If you haven’t seen it already, we did do a second British Candy Box review which you can find here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHzTfqaLbciYiqM

[@djmightymurph]

I'm from London and been watching these kind of videos lately but really think I need to make a box of sweets and send them for someone to review as most of the ones I see are crap sweets.

[@paulmoore4223]

What a lovely little vid, enjoyed the second camera work, nice touch! Your home looks lovely. Happy New year from the north of England

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Thank you so much!! Your compliments mean a lot to us! Glad you enjoyed it. Happy New Year to you as well 🙂

[@jamespasifull]

If you enjoyed the Walkers cheese & onion crisps, you really must try them in the 'traditional' British way............between two slices of soft, white, buttered bread! Amazing sandwich experience! 😃

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

That sounds really good! Too bad we don’t have any left over to try it... 😕 If we ever get our hands on that flavor again, we will definitely be doing this!! 😁

Great vlog, thanks. As a Brit my favourite chocolate bar is the Wispa Gold, it's just delicious on its own or with a cup of tea.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Thank you!! You are the second person that told us to have a cup of tea with British Candy, so we will definitely be doing that the next time we get this subscription box!

Crisp, crunchy, food triggers a pleasure spot in the brain and is believed to be a primal throw back.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

That’s an interesting piece of information! Very cool!!

[@paulcarey713]

Matchmakers are usually mint or orange flavour but those gingerbread ones sound awesome

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

They were awesome! Orange sounds like it would be very good as well 🍊

[@downsman1]

Our sweets will taste very difficult to you as artificial colours, flavours and preservatives are banned from all foods over here. Also, certain chemicals put into US chocolate to prevent it melting easily are a complete no-no (as in, actually on our Official List of Poisons).

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Oh wow! It would be great if America would ban that stuff too. Those things are a poison. Thanks for sharing that info with us!

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

It’s incredibly sad that that happened and is happening. We aren’t for the American companies changing what makes your British items so good!

[@Muckylittleme]

@VoteBrexit Party1212 Yes it is very sad, children being taught to be hate their own heritage and culture so they can be easily disenfranchised from it.

Great taste test guys, if you can get your hands on a tin of Cadbury's Roses you wont be disappointed, the Purple ones are my favourites

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We definitely need to get ourselves a tin then! Being able to try all the flavors, including your favorite Purple one, would be quite enjoyable. 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting!!

[@jennigee51]

I’m afraid Cadbury’s Roses have gone way down, reviews of them are giving less than three out of five stars these days! Such a shame, I loved them.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

If we were doing a 1-10 rating system in this video, the Roses would’ve scored a higher. Maybe a 7 or 8. 😉

[@emmamaclean737]

The little bite size chocolates tend to come in selection tins and boxes mostly popular for birthdays and Christmas

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

How cool!

[@scharonecefort9036]

Hey, how long did your box take to arrive to the US. My order was saying fulfilled from February 28 and still no box 😔

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

It takes about 10-14 days. Also, with the coronavirus issue, it could take a bit longer to get through customs so keep that in mind too.

[@bobprice9541]

My favorite that I have tried from your collection is the Wispa Gold. I saw your comparison of British vs. US Cadbury eggs. Have you compared the two version of Dairy Milk (US vs. UK)? I definitely prefer the UK version.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We haven’t tried comparing those two. Next time we get UK Dairy Milk, we will set it aside for such a comparison! Thanks for the suggestion 😁

[@andypatt1971]

We in the UK call them crisps not chips

[@helenrobinson8894]

Fun tasting video. Came over to say hello from following Kate and Alex. In the kitchen with Kate. Good to see what you thought of our British goodies. Out of all the things u tastedi thibk i like the snow bites and the pear fruitella the best

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Welcome! We are happy to see you here 😁 Kate and Alex are great people and so much fun! Those 2 were great! We enjoy trying all the fun and different things the UK has to offer! 🇬🇧

[@chope576]

Anothr favorite at christmas is the chocolate orange. it is orange sized and is choc and orange flavor , always a winner that combo.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We had another person tell us to try the chocolate orange. Hailey had one once, but I (Nathan) never had the chance. I really want to taste one!

[@stevenwiltshire9004]

Matchmakers also come in orange flavour if you like the whole orange and chocolate thing??

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We’ve tried the mint, but still haven’t had the orange

[@ForestKicks]

The caramel bite was small because it comes as part of the Cadbury's Roses selection boxes / tins. Same with the Creme Egg Twisted, although in that case it comes in boxes of Celebrations, and is itself a bitesize version of a Creme Egg which is chocolate egg with the same cream filling sold around Easter in the UK.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We need to get our hands on those boxes/tins!! Thanks for sharing this information with us!

Heroes, not Celebrations :)

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

No and no. They sound really good!

They are good, I'd be more than happy to send you a variety especially as you seem to enjoy the different variety of walkers on sale in the UK.

Used to make Matchmakers here in York. Many different flavours about

Matchmakers do that to you!!! My mum buys them every Christmas and every bloody time I have one, say eh its okay, then wake up the next day craving them haha.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

[@jennybassam5515]

Hi from the UK , Cadburys have been making chocolate in the UK since the 1980 but a few years ago it was brought over by an American company ,but they keep to the same recipes that the Cadbury's family stared with ,glad you are enjoying them ,we do get a lot of American candy in our shops there nice to,sorry not the 1980 the 1880

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

That’s great that you in the UK get to try a lot of our American candies! Do you have a favorite? The Cadbury chocolate that we have here in the states is made by Hershey’s and does taste a bit different than the Cadbury we’ve tried from the UK.

[@peterwilliamallen1063]

Hi there, Cadbury Chocolate has been produced in the UK since 1824, not 1980 as you put it, from a tea and coffee shop in Bull street Birmingham buy the Cadbury Family, it moved to its present site at Bournville in Birmingham in about 1830 where it has been located till this day in Bournville, Birmingham, UK producing the famous Cadbury Chocolate, it was bought out by Kraft foods about 10 years ago and is now run by Mondolaze International an American company a part of the Kraft Food group.

[@jennybassam5515]

@@peterwilliamallen1063 hi sorry the date was a mistake, Dame Elizabeth Cadbury George Cadbury's wife was my father's godmother and as children we used to go round the factory and we would always get free chocolate it's an amazing place like Willy Wonka but when my grandmother died so did the supply of free chocolate

[@kandynails5449]

And the mint or orange match makers are the nicest x

[@CallumboMagumbo]

great assortment but so many other things to recommend! I'd highly recommend Cadbury Crunchie and Boost bars in terms of sweets (and jaffa cakes of course). Also, savoury wise I would suggest the Sensations Sweet Thai and the Walkers Max Paprika

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

All of those sound delicious!

[@generouspeasant]

I love wispa golds, but my absolute go to is a Cadbury starbar. I'm from England and I've never had the ginger matchmakers, so I'll be looking for them I thought they only did them in mint flavour. Nice couple so ive subscribed ... happy New year .

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

I think we need to try the Wispa Gold again because multiple people have said they like it. We had another person make a comment saying that Matchmakers comes in mint, caramel, salted caramel, and orange flavors as well. Thank for the comment, compliment, and subscription!! It all means a lot to us! 😁

[@galerion]

matchmakers are normally either mint, orange or coffee

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

It would be nice to try the original flavors because that specialty holiday flavor was really good.

[@DragonsTooth]

I can’t imagine what it would be like to be allergic to potatoes. I’m Irish so, of course, I have potatoes coming out of my ears.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Having a potato allergy isn’t fun. Especially when you’re like me (this is Nathan responding to you by the way), and you develop the allergy later in life after you have a love for potato foods. We also live in a region of Pennsylvania that likes their potatoes! 😝

[@carolynjanesutton4932]

Me too ..🙂

[@angievara7355]

The roses caramel is from a whole tin of sweets that come with lots of different sweets,you were swindled.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Bummer!

[@BlueShadow777]

Layne’s is Walkers made under licence in the USA.

[@CrazyInWeston]

You'll find its the other way round, Lays bought out Walkers in 1989 but kept the Walkers brand name for customer loyalty in the UK market. Lay's themselves are owned by the PepsiCo company.

You can find the ad here on KZbin.

Rose's come in a blue box there called rose's due to there being a rose on the box there's a mixture of different chocolates great for mother's Day etc box or tin😃

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Ahhh...we wondered where the “Roses” name comes from!

[@siloPIRATE]

So that's what the twisted creme egg is supposed to look like. We have a tin of Heroes and all the twisted creme eggs were just solid milk chocolate

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

That’s odd. Hopefully you’ll get the chance to try the real twisted creme egg.

[@adamfairhurst591]

Have you tried other british foods and cakes. Like scones, chorley cakes, eccles cakes etc and things like english breakfast, pie and peas, cornish pasty, english chips etc

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We have tried versions of some of those items. We have a British Pub near us that makes some of those foods. And then when we went to Universal Studios Orlando the other year we tried the peas and pie in the Harry Potter land.

[@vickytaylor9155]

We have starburst in the uk. Until a few years ago they were called opal fruits. All of our fruit sweets are made with real fruit without additives.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

That sounds wonderful. We wish they did that here more often!

[@tinkerncodigital]

I liked that you didn't just diss the chocolate and compare it to usa chocolate all the time. It's going to be different, and i liked that you focused on the flavours. i would love to see what you think about our Galaxy chocolate bars. In my opinion better than Cadbury's since Cadbury chocolate does not taste the same any more since Cadbury was sold :( some products for you to look out for Kinder bueno bars or Kinda hippos - a beautiful hazelnut cream inside Matchmakers mint and orange Galaxy - Ripple, Eggs, Caramel - yum! Lindt - Lindor so good Caramac - it's almost like a caramel flavoured solid chocolate Fun video. :)

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Thank you!! Thank you for every kind thing you said! 😃 We actually were able to try the Kinder HappyHippo in our 2nd British Candy Box Video, and it’s one of our favorites! Also, we were able to just recently try Galaxy chocolates, and many other items, in videos we filmed within the last week. They’ll be uploaded within the next few weeks so make sure to subscribe so you know when they’re uploaded...if you don’t want to subscribe, that’s okay, at least check back to see the videos so you can know what our thoughts and reactions are towards Galaxy chocolates 😉 We are definitely loving UK sweets and snacks!! 🇬🇧

[@geordieboy8945]

I remember when the classic Wispa bar first came out [ end of 70's early 80's 'ish']. It was trialled in a handful of regions in the UK and luckily I lived in one of them[ north east England] . The were selling out SO fast it ended up being featured in local press. If a corner store got a delivery word would spread and they would soon sell out. If memory serves me right Cadbury then halted production because the bars were braking and they had to change the production method. The new one was launched and of course it was just as successful. No one had tasted chocolate with that texture before.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We can picture the word of the newly arrived shipment of wispa bars spreading throughout town without the help of social media or technology...such a fascinating thing!

[@johnchurchill6818]

Good vlog guys very interesting Have you tried comparing British and American largers or beers That would definitely be interesting to watch 🍻🍻👍

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Thank you! We have not tried that, but it is definitely an interesting idea and we will add it to our list of potential future videos. If we would do it, would there be any British beers you would suggest us to try?

[@johnchurchill6818]

I'm a lager man so would say Peroni Carlsberg Stella Artois Heineken Amstel Cobra Tiger Most of these are not British but we drink them here in huge quantities I will be interested to find out what American lagers you have and how they compare Cheers mate👍

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We’ve had Stella and Heineken, but not the others. The popular beer in our area of the States is Yuengling. It’s from Lancaster, PA and they have a really good lager, and one of the best black and tans out there. They even make their own ice cream flavored after their beer! ...which we got in our First Day of Spring Challenge vlog. Quick link to that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioDEamxng6llrtk

I got a box from them for the same Christmas season, but I got totally different stuff. All of it was good, except the chips. They were prawn (shrimp) flavored and I couldn't get anyone except my husband to even try them. (we have 4 adult children and they all take after me in hating shrimp.)

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Oh wow! We are glad we got the Roast Chicken, but we sure would love to try prawn. Shrimp flavor isn’t for everyone.

[@LuvNickynGina4ever]

We have a flavour called prawn cocktail, I'm sure that's the one you got, one of my faves. Its sweet and tangy and doesn't taste of shrimp at all.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We’ve recently tried the prawn cocktail! And you are right, it’s not a very shrimpy taste.

[@scunnygal]

@@FromtheHobbitHole Our prawn cocktail crisps are based on the sauce you have with them, which is a mixture of ketchup and mayonnaise mixed together :)

If you haven’t already tried it, try a Mars Bar. Also a Cadburys Chocolate Flake and Fry’s Chocolate Cream.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We recently (within the last year) tried a few different flavors of Fry’s chocolate cream bars.

[@lollysquish2373]

Wispa (the origanal chocolate bar) is nicer than the Gold in my opinion, Areo mint or Aero Chocolate, Galaxy Choclate is smoother than Cadbury chocolate. Alot of Americans like the Kinders Beuno (milk chocholate is better than the white in my opinion) and Kinders Happy Hippos. Nestle Milky bar is my favourite white chocolate.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Definitely would like to try the original to see if it is better. We have a box of British sweets that were just sent to us by a subscriber and in it has Galaxy and Aero chocolates. We’ll be trying them in our next video, and we are super excited to taste them!! We actually had the Happy Hippo in our second British Candy Box video that we did. It was really good and fun!

That’s some good advice! It would’ve been nice to know that prior to biting into it on the video. Later, when we finish the remainder of the Stinger, we made sure to suck on it a bit first! Thanks for commenting 😃

[@chope576]

Walkers beef and onion or bovril flaver are fantastic. Areo, flake , star bar or dime bar are great also. machbox chocolate is the best they are bite sized choc and caramel. Also galaxy chocolate is fantastic, in my opinion better than cadburies.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Beef and onion sounds amazing! We really hope to try some of those others one day.

[@jamespasifull]

We once had Hedgehog 'flavoured' crisps in the UK! It's OK, no actual hedgehogs were used, just flavouring to apparently simulate the taste, BTW, hedgehogs were once a delicacy in the cuisine of traditional Gypsies! The crisps were also pretty tasty, in a kind of peppery way! 😃

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Oh wow!! ...how interesting! We’ve never heard of people eating hedgehog before, let alone having a crisp flavored after it. It’s always fun hearing what other countries and people groups find as delicacies.

[@jamespasifull]

@@FromtheHobbitHole This is one of the rare occasions when it doesn't 'taste like chicken'! Apparently, it was a kind of pork-ish, peppery taste, some say, a little like Guinea-Pig! 😱

[@futurez12]

​@@kendalstubblefield3096 And you don't know the correct usage of "their." You were looking for "they're" BTW. Why can't English people just understand that different English speaking countries will pronounce words differently? You'd think they'd be used to it with Wales, Scotland and Ireland so close. Don't come at me with England speaks the "original" English either, because it was "originally" derived from Germanic, for the most part.

Thank you! Do you know of any other subscription box companies that do British snacks? This is the only one we’ve found. It’s $10 USD just for shipping the box across the Atlantic (which is a good deal because we recently paid $30 USD to ship a similar size box to the UK). Also, when buying a subscription box like this, you are partially paying for the experience you get from it. Thanks for commenting!

[@noteverton]

Guys, the word is ca-ra-mel. The "a"'s are flat, like in "as" or "laugh". Good vid though. Love the score cards. The "Roses" that you ate is small because it is one from a variety tin of sweets, usually given around xmas time.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Thanks for the pronunciation tip! We really do try from this video forward to pronounce caramel correctly...though Nathan still struggles 😝 It’s good to know that you like the score cards. We recently were discussing if we should keep using them or do something different (which we tried something different in 2 of our more recent tasting videos). Those little Roses were too small to get a good taste. Do they come in larger bars?

[@noteverton]

Hi. Your pronunciation isn't a problem, just cute. The Rose that you ate is just one of a variety of fillings, all that size and individually wrapped. They come in caramel, strawberry, orange, coffee, toffee and a few other flavours and can be bought in a box containing 2 or 3 of each or a larger tub containing about 10 of each. We give the boxes and tub as birthday or xmas gifts to friends or workmates or as thank you gifts. they don't come in bars. There's always light-hearted disputes here about which is the best one. In my house a tub lasts maybe a couple of weeks! Google Cadburys Roses and check them out.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Those other flavors sound really good! Definitely can see why there’s a hot debate on which is the best.

[@LindaLovesHomesAndGardens]

They're AMERICAN they speak a different version of English than you.

[@RM-kl4cq]

On the right, your scores are contradictory. 10 for the box, It was good, but I’m giving everything a 1 😏 what was the point?

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

You can have 2 really good pieces of chocolate but one might be better than the other in one person’s opinion, so by scoring each piece it allows the viewer to know that the person trying the chocolate likes chocolate “a” over chocolate “b” even though both were good. Make sense?

[@RM-kl4cq]

From the Hobbit Hole you don’t understand the point I’ve made! I understand a scoring system like most people in the world.. my point being that the lady’s points scoring negate the whole process. You scored everything near enough 1/2 and then scored the box a ten. Doesn’t seem to make sense. Anyway, your scoring seemed to intentionally go against your partner who seemed to try and match yours. Tricky watching .

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

We see what you’re saying now. The thing is, we weren’t trying to match or go against each other, we were simply giving our own individual opinions. Anyway, you do make a valid point overall.

I had Lays in Spain alot and it don't taste near as good as Walkers crisps here in the UK.Best choc's on top of my head are Twist,Twix,Whispa....and anything Cadbury's or Nestle is devine! Btw Choc biscuits and chips/crisps is NOT candy/sweets.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

There’s definitely a difference between Walker’s and Lay’s, with Walker’s being the better of the two. And you are correct, biscuits and chips/crisps are not candy/sweets, but they tend to get lumped in with “Candy Boxes”...and we are glad that they do!

You're lucky the chicken crisps/chips made it though customs. They normal pull them out and "destroy" them

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

So you get a whole bunch of different ones or none at all? You can’t pick one flavor and just get that?

[@4svennie]

Cadburys are pretty much the standard everyday chocolate but there are so many others you need to try such as Nestle, Kinder, Lindt, McVities, Fox's, Green & Black's, Milka, Ferrero Rocher, Lily O'Briens, Guylian, Godivas, etc... I think you'd really enjoy the Galaxy range of chocolate. It's creamier and supposed to melt at body temperature, so it melts on your tongue rather than just chewing to release the flavour. Some choloate bars like the Cadbury Aero, Cadbury Flake, Galaxy Ripple, etc... are aerated or folded in a fashion to enclose air, this is to allow air in the mouth to mix and promote the flavours as most of what you taste is actually done by smell (like how your taste is affected by holding your nose or having a blocked up nose from being unwell and trying to eat).

[@jamespasifull]

You forgot Fry's! They make some fab choccy bars!
