About Us:
We’re Jenny and Logan, American Millennials with a passion for traveling and eating delicious food from all around the world. Our love for travel started in the UK where we lived and worked for a while, traveling to different European cities almost every weekend. So when we went back to our “normal” lives in the US, we knew we weren’t ready to settle down. This motivated us to plan a trip around the world and then a year in Australia. We decided to give this vlogging thing a shot and have really enjoyed sharing our travel journey. Who knows where we’ll end up next, so be sure to follow along to find out! :)

[@twotravelingkings]

We did our best to find Aussie chocolates over here in the US. Any other chocolates/lollies we should be on the lookout for?

[@savagesurpreme7856]

We crunch bar fans feel left out but it’s all in good fun

[@batsjapan]

Basically anything Cadbury eg: Cherry Ripe, Freddo Frogs, Flake are popular. As for lollies,try Spearmint leaves & Eucalyptus drops. If you need a supply let me know. Just a few tips...Mars bars are best served cold...different experience if served from a Fridge. Flake bars are also good in sundaes. Violet Crumbles are popular here they now come in their own ice cream flavour. Love your work team, keep the enthusiasm going.

[@FionaEm]

I used to love the lollies Raspberries and Strawberries & Cream when I was a kid. Don't know if you can get them over there but maybe if you start a Patreon to raise $ for that PO box (!) someone from Oz can send them to you.

[@artistjoh]

Australian Cadbury’s used to be much better, virtually the same as the British Cadbury’s but sometime in the last 20 years, the supermarkets complained that in the summertime the Cadbury chocolate would melt on the shelf and lobbied Cadbury for an improvement. Cadbury made the chocolate more resistant to melting and we lost that melt in the mouth deliciousness of the old Cadbury’s. As a result, Lindt and other European chocolates started to become more popular here. Cadbury should have told the supermarkets to take a hike. However, anyone from Australia or Europe finds American chocolate to be the worst in the world. Waxy and sugary is a good description of it.

Interesting, didn't know that!

Favourite way to eat a Violet Crumble/Crunchie is... While it is still in its package beat it on the edge of a table or kitchen bench. If opened hold it tight. Better if it is sealed. Once satisfied that it is broken to your preference, stir it through softened vanilla ice cream. I like smaller pieces with the occasional bigger chunk. Enjoy.

[@twotravelingkings]

I think I'd like it better that way... 😊

When my wife worked in Seattle as an MD for a year, she met a nurse there who absolutely loved Maltesers and one of my main tasks before leaving Sydney on my periodic visits was to pack a generous supply of them in my suitcase.

I recommend to crush some maltesers up and sprinkle over ice cream.Personally I find Cadburys milk chocolate too sweet. Love Bounty, Cherry Ripe, Snickers, Summer Roll, Turkish Delight, Twix and of course licorice bullets. Lately I've been enjoying the plain dark chocolate you can get at ALDI, not too sweet or bitter, nice smooth texture.

[@twotravelingkings]

[@peterconlon803]

The sugar they make the chocolate from is different in the USA too, I don’t think they use cane sugar in the USA. Great video! Now I want a Whopper.... a real one... from Hungry Jacks. Another thing is the ratio of actual cocoa mass as Hershey uses chocolate liquor not as much actual cocoa.

[@pinayladyoz8044]

Most chocolates in USA are made of corn syrup and cocoa not cacao. My parents grow cacao plants so I know what's real chocolate taste. I grow up drinking real chocolate.

[@davidschott5724]

An American friend once gave me a Hershey's Bar and I thought it had gone slightly "off" on it's long journey to Oz. Then I watched a documentary on the American food industry on the History channel and they mentioned that during the original development of Hershey's milk chocolate, they slightly soured the milk and decided that added an interesting feature to the taste. Personally, I completely disagree and find Cadbury's superior in taste, texture and mouth feel -- but I understand that Americans have grown up with Hershey's so all other chocolate tastes a bit dull to them. As an aside, I'd be surprised if the similarity between your Milky Way and our Mars was a coincidence. The Milky Way was invented by a Minneapolis candy maker called Frank C. Mars. It seems likely that they're the same product but named differently for trademark reasons with the differences you noticed in taste and texture probably attributable to local manufacturing variance.

Cadbury isn’t exactly Australian. We have a very different Milky Way, which is promoted as being light and won’t spoil your dinner. It’s so strange to me that an American company, Mars, is assumed to be Australian - Mars makes Mars Bars, M&Ms and lots of other bars etc, so there should be Mars bars and so on in the us as well.

[@twotravelingkings]

Yep your milky way is just like our three musketeers 😊

Good fun, enjoyed the vlog. Interesting to note, while honey comb was around, its was a n Australian invention to put it in a bar form by a company called Hoadleys ( now owned by Cadbury)...he named the bar after his wife Violet. Unfortunately (killjoy here) I think that's as close to Australian you have got..Cadbury is an English company and so is Mars which make the Bounty and Maltesers, they have produced chocolate in Australia for a long time ...so I guess its a fair competition. We have lost so many of our local manufactures here,Mac Robinsons, Hoadley, Rowntree (Cherry Ripe) Darrel Lea...now thats something you MUST try..Darrrels Lea's Rocky Road!!!!! and mentioned below The Wagon Wheel. A personal favorite is the Picnic Bar...looking forward to your next video.

[@twotravelingkings]

[@davidfmelbourne3473]

A very fair comparison. But I do suspect that the flavours you were brought up on make a big difference. For example, Hersheys was released in Australia and didn't sell until they slightly changed their formula for Australian tastes. And I found that returning to Australia after years in the USA, I had to readjust to the local chocolate treats too.

[@twotravelingkings]

Tru tru

[@nonamerooster5413]

I love Reeses, butterfinger...anything that is chocolate and peanut butter. Have you guys tried Whittakers? The are New Zealand though but they The have peanut butter( crunchy)chocolate slab and also a peanut butter (smooth) chocolate family size block...both A-Mazing!

[@twotravelingkings]

That sounds great, haven't tried it tho

[@melbclayman]

You all are sounding more Australian with every video! 2 1/2 minutes' in and I love this already! Round 2, honeycomb-wise the Cadbury Crunchie dissolves in your mouth more efficiently than the Violet Crumble, so there's less of that packing-your-molars feeling - Round 3, you *can* get Bounty with dark chocolate and it definitely compares more pound-for-pound with Mounds - the biggest difference between Australian and American chocolate bars is the amound of cocoa butter that is in Australian typical chocolate compared to American chocolate. FWIW, I am a big fan of the Butterfinger and also the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and I think it's because we really don't use peanut butter regularly in our chocolate confectionery here in Oz. We do use a lot of mint, which I know you don't use so much in the US. If you really want to be decadent, take the Scottish route and deep-fry your deeply-frozen Mars Bar (or Milky Way, for you all!)... the Scots will deep-fry anything.

Good video. But it's really impossible to compare such dissimilar bars, When Hershey tried to introduce their product to Australia it failed miserably because it was considered to be such low quality. In Europe Hersheys doesn't even qualify as chocolate, but is called chocolate-flavoured. While we do accept it as chocolate, it's insufficient amount of cocoa made it unpopular here. Btw we pronounce them as car-a-mel, noogah (nougat) and mollteaser (malteaser).

Wait a few years Hershey actually grows on you, (like a fungus)..... but none the less it does. I was the same, yet my experience maybe a little different.. my ex uncle in-law.. (if there is such a thing) use to work for Hershey, many moons ago we visited him and toured the factory. Being a chocoholic I bought myself a 5lb (~2.3kg) Hershey bar. Bought it all the way back to Australia and tried it and thought... WTF... so I gave It away.. fast forward many years and I actually enjoy Hershey. It is a different mind set.. don’t expect the smoothness.. I always use to say Hershey tasted like it was made from Gravox (an Australian gravy mix)... but a good gravy. 🤣

[@xymonau2468]

You pronounced "Malteser" correctly only once. They contain malt. That's the clue. "Moll - teezers". I have to say I was disappointed by the American chocolates I tried when I was over there. The sugar level was almost sickly to me. After I discovered cann olis there, I was expecting a revelation or something. I think ours have increased the sugar over time as well. European chocolate will always be the best. You are unlikely to be able to get them there, but if you could taste the Cadbury Picnic chocolate slab (based on the Picnic chocolate bar), I'm sure you would love it. As for the "honeycomb" in the Violet Crumble, you can make it at home by boiling sugar with a small amount of water until it starts to brown. Remove from the heat and add a spoon of bicarb soda and stir well. It begins to puff up like crazy. Pour it onto parchment/baking paper, then put it into the fridge to set. Other classics are the Flake - which won't melt over heat! - Kit Kats, Caramello, Rocky Road, and Lollygobble Bliss bombs. (Although I haven't seen the latter for a long time. They are a nutty, caramel popcorn deliciousness. )

[@lmaree200886]

Only rocky road, Lolly Gobble Bliss Bombs and caramello koalas are Aussie, the rest are originally from the UK and we share them. The US has honeycomb but its under multiple names like cinder toffee or sea foam candy. Woolies sells LGBB still!

That Cadbury chocolate isn't Australian cause our packaging isn't currently shiny purple and plain with no pictures of the cups of pouring chocolate. I was confused and had to go check my own blocks in the cupboard! It looks like something that's imported into the US as it has the US weight conversion on the front. Even the size of the squares looked flat and odd! You won't get the full experience as Australian Cadbury has slightly different ingredients to stop it from melting. That Mars bar looked different too! Was it the UK one? You guys DO have honeycomb but its named something else! Check out sponge toffee, sea foam candy, cinder toffee or hokey pokey. It's a very old fashioned candy.

I found this in a simple Google search: The Hershey Company owns the rights to manufacture Cadbury chocolate in the US. It banned imports of British-made Cadbury chocolate in 2015. British expats claim that Cadbury's chocolate in the US tastes nothing like its UK counterpart, but according to Hershey, there's barely any difference in the ingredients. I knew that I have seen this packaging elsewhere as I like to browse those imported lolly shops online! All they have to do is look on the back of the packaging to see where it was made!

Australia has a Milky Way too..

[@twotravelingkings]

Our 3 Musketeers 😊

[@gordiebrooks]

You picked some of the best Aussie chocolate bars.

[@twotravelingkings]

Did our best! 😊

[@horustheking7129]

I'd be shocked if anything was better than most Aussie & Kiwi chocolate

[@twotravelingkings]

😬

[@auscop]

Aussie chocolate? Don’t know of much good original Aussie chocolate, Cadbury is British although we try and claim it as Australian. My opinion best main stream chocolate in Australia is Lindt, once again not Aussie. We have Haigh’s which is good but over priced. I use to hate Hershey chocolate, but I actually quite enjoy it now.

[@davidjohnpaul7558]

American chocolate has a very small % of cocoa & a lot of additives, whereas our chocolate is much more pure chocolate in the ingredients - Aussie choc wins....

[@bjc9520]

Hershey is the worst chocolate I’ve ever eaten. Vile. They tried to enter the Aussie market in ‘87, but it was a dismal failure ‘Can’t hide a Hershey smile’. Within 6 months they had closed up and left. They’ve never officially returned.

[@TheNakedWombat]

Out of curious, what would be the American equivalent of the Australian MilkyWay? Two American friends sent my family us packages of American chocolates(including Kisses) a bit of a decade ago. We didn't like them at all. All we could taste was a sickly sweet chemical taste. It just didn't taste like anything but fake. At the same time, I did not grow up on much sweet foods and tried to do this with my children too.

[@twotravelingkings]

Your milky way is our 3 Musketeers bar. It's in a silver packaging with blue and red text. it's pretty good but I'd rather just have a Snickers 😊

[@gamesetmatt23]

@Logan, you're getting closer with that accent 😁

[@twotravelingkings]

Lol getting there

[@dominicmcnamara]

Yeah, I'll ship you authentic Aussie gear......as the chocolate you tried WASN'T Australian, as it was Cadbury from, most likely Europe. Does it matter, yes......as the process of making chocolate is different everywhere, both the crumb process and the quality of the refining.....of which the specific Cadbury factories in Bournville, UK and Claremont, AUS are different and superior. Also, Australian chocolate is made including both cocoa butter and sucrose, whilst US chocolate includes 5% palm oil as well as corn syrup......and possibly different refining and tempering.

[@twotravelingkings]

Good to know!

[@pauldobson2529]

I think Mars Bars are English too. Cadbury started up his company in a specially constructed village, Bournville, outside Birmingham. His workers lived there, but there were a lot of restrictions on their lifestyle - no alcohol etc. when they tried to replicate that in Australia, the workers rebelled and wanted their independence. There’s a different texture in Oz because of the warmer climate.

[@twotravelingkings]

Lol good to know!

[@waterlily3161]

There’s a different texture because we add anti melting agents because of the heat, whereas the UK does not. Their chocolate is supposed to be better, although I can’t taste the difference.

[@Bobbydazzlla]

Mars is a U.S. company. The Mars family are the 3rd richest family in the U.S.A. I worked for them in Ballarat for 30+ years.

[@bradwaghorn8955]

There is just no comparison between Cadbury and Hershey. Hands down Cadbury. Same as coffee. Almost any Aus cafe coffee far superior than that awful Starbucks dishwater.

[@notthisguyagain4635]

I have yet to find a chocolate I don't like. I mean it's chocolate after all.

[@notthisguyagain4635]

Also if you like honeycomb it's so easy to make.

[@zuggytwentyfivesixty9567]

Australian snacks are the best :)

[@twotravelingkings]

We've tried lots of them lol 😆

[@Ken.Howard]

From Australia: didn’t you guys ever make honeycomb yourself with your mum in the kitchen with golden syrup and bicarb? It’s so easy to make! Plus we pronounce “nougat” the French way. I am surprised you don’t as you use Middle French to pronounce “herb” without the H, which no other country does!

[@twotravelingkings]

Nope! Honeycomb is more of a breakfast cereal over here in the US than a candy 😆

[@lmaree200886]

Mate, they don't really use golden syrup in the US! It's very rare and expensive. They mostly use corn syrup. And they do have honeycomb but its under many other names like sponge candy, cinder toffee, sea foam candy, sponge toffee and hokey pokey.

[@Ken.Howard]

@@lmaree200886 Ha ha funny names hey!

[@AlphGen]

I always found Hershey's grainy in mouth feel

[@twotravelingkings]

Tru tru

[@dominicmcnamara]

Yup, it's grainy as the refining stage is quicker and poorer. Alternatively, Lindt is the global benchmark, as smooooothest and highest quality.

[@jackfanning6239]

Im honestly not a fan of coconut in chocolate

[@twotravelingkings]

It's good every now and then :)

Fark the subsciption value (now I went to the end of the vid), your channel is lots of fun. Im sure I, as well as many other Aussies, will happily send you stuff because you now have Biden. Of course, speaking for myself I'll send you your faves because it's a cool thing to do and lots of fun and sans politics.

[@twotravelingkings]

Thanks for the support ☺️
