Re: "British" Chocolate
Dickens in Chilliwack BC import real British foods... $3 for a turkish delight and $8 for a pot noodle... harsh but a welcome fix when needed

One of those nice metal tins from M&S containing a mixed chocolate biccie assortment usually goes down pretty well with work colleagues.

Re: "British" Chocolate
Great suggestions...well some great, some downright weird.
I think that Thorntons will be a winner, maybe some Galaxy and Revels are a great idea. Most other things can be found here, except maybe the sweets you used to buy as a 'quarter' bag. Lemon bonbons, apple tarts, aniseed balls.
The problem will be actually bringing this stuff into work without scoffing it all myself. Do I like these cretins enough to part with a family bag of Revels?

Not hard to find in Canada, especially Mars and Dairy Milk. You might have to go to a British speciality shop for some of them.

Re: "British" Chocolate
I agree, Thorton's truffles. I have become fond of Roger's chocolates since I moved here but they have a different speciality, not truffles. Purdy's doesn't have anything to compare either.
Surprised that a lot of people seem to have not figured out that most of the stuff they're listing is available in Canada, e.g. Milky Way = 3 Musketeers. Caramel = Caramilk, etc. You can even get Fox's biscuits at Loblaw's under the President's Choice brandname.

not strictly chocolate but get a can of spotted dick at Tesco or Asda - always goes down a storm.
Some snotty teenager asked me on a flight to Blighty once if this were a fictional desert - and sniggered til snot came out of her nose when I told her that it was indeed, a real bona fide pudding.

Football Crazies and fish and chips (you can cover them in chocolate to keep them relevant)
