The World’s Best Candy Bars? English, of Course

[broma25 2]

Oh I have a craving for a large bag of Minstrals..... or a Ripple.... Going to ask Mum to bring some over next month when she comes to visit..... Now what can I eat to keep my craving at bay until then????

I saw Ripples at my local Food Basics over the weekend!!! I was almost drooling and couldnt decide between Ripple and Drifter.

What's Ripples? What's Drifter? :blink: I'm still looking for Mr Kipling's lemon slices. I really liked those!

Ripples are made by Galaxy and are kinda like a flake but they have a chocolate coating over then, and Drifters are made by Nestle and are a wafer bar with caramel and chocolate covered and come in a two bar pack, but they are not like twix.

I like most of Mr Kipling cakes......hmmmmm

Weird; I never heard of either of those! I guess I didn't spend enough time in the candy aisle. I was more of a cake person; I probably had about 50 of those glass ramekins that you get when you buy Fru lemon cheesecakes. Now THOSE were TASTY. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I loved Mr Kipling lemon slices but I wasn't keen on the others; too sweet. They had these battenburg cakes out for Easter that looked so tasty but when I tasted them they were too sweet. My gfn stbx husband polished those off though.

....... Fru lemon cheesecakes.....

Dammmmmnnnnnnn you!!!!!

And now I really really really really want to eat my way through the entire Fru/Gu range of deliciousness. I too had an entire cupboard full of those little ramekins!

I wasnt keen on Battenburg either, but I liked the French Fancies, Cherry Bakewells, Lemon Slices pretty much everything really I have a real sweet tooth so any cake is good in my book!!!

I have to admit I cant remember seeing Drifters too much in the UK but Ripples were very popular....just not big enough in my opinion, and they can certainly give the Cadbury Flake a run for their money!!!

OMG I can't wait to go to England in September!!!!!

All this talk of Mr. Kipling has also made me want some of those little chocolate/orange/lemon cupcakes (I like the lemon ones best) with the thick layer of icing on the top. And cherry bakewells. I've not had one of those in YEARS, but could really go for one right about now....

I love the battenburg cakes, and was just thinking about them! All this talk of sweets is making me hungry!! I must have Griff send me some upon his return to the UK next week.

A friend of mine sent me a couple of boxes of Mr Kipling Cherry Bakewells a few weeks ago. Heaven in a box. *sighs and smiles*

All this talk of cakes has actually made me hungry. I haven't eaten for three days due to a bout of the stomach flu and now really fancy a lemon slice...

Frü (the fruity stuff) and Gü (the chocolatey stuff) - very addictive indeed.

I'm drooling big time over here u lot. You lot are evil talking about choccie bars from home, evil i tell ya evil :lol:

Came across a Cadbury's dairy milk the other day and i was like ' ohhhhhhhh yeahhhhh' so when i got home i put my choccie bar into the fridge as i always do. Couple hours later i went to get coz i had the munchies real bad for some good ole UK choccie. Took a bite and i was like.... this doesnt taste like 'Cadburys'..read the back of the wrapper and to my horror i saw that i was made by Hersheys so i wrapped it up and threw it in the bucket it was vilest tasted Cadbury's i ever tasted. Wont ever buy "Fake" Cadburys again thats for sure

So, i'm either going to have to either do without or pay through the nose for some decent British Choccie @ an online British store that sells 'genuine' british choccie. 'No More' fake choccie for me

I dunno, I quite like the way my jeans are fitting. I may never eat again....LOL

(as if! )

Sorry, Battenburgs make my teeth hurt. Ow.

Now, Mr Kipling's Bramley Apple Pies...that's a horse of a different colour!

Glad you're on the mend, mags. I know, the temptation to stuff your face again always wins out over the "wow, my jeans fit!" moments...

Sadly...so true! I have no self control.
