what kind of chocolate do you get in oz ? galaxy , dairymilk ? or something else ? is it any good or is it better in the uk ?

the missus says its not the same ... ;(

Like so many things in Aus, not better, not worse, just different

Its slightly less sweet - different amount of cocoa to stop it melting so fast. Mostly Cadburys, some familiar, like Mars Bars, some will be new to you.

I personally think it's a lot nicer here. It reminds me of the Cadbury's buttons easter eggs I used to get as a kid.

This is not a good thing for me, as I hated chocolate in the UK and now I can't stop eating it

Hi I love chocolate. I go hunting for English chocolate because although I like Oz choc I think English is abit nicer.
You can buy Nestle choc, most of the Areo bars are made in the uk. Lindt choc is lovely here too. Galaxy is called Dove here and is really nice.
You can get all Mars like Mars bar, Malteasers and twix but I think the choc tastes darker. Malteasers taste very different.
You can get most Cadbury's bars here with a few extra like cherry ripe and lots of Fredo frogs with different fillings. Adults and kids alike love them!
Also chocolate is more expensive here. You can't buy multi packs, only funsize and one bar is about $1.60 with a 2oog bar being about $4
OH and Roses chocs are nasty here, full of creams.

Another choc is Darrell Lea but I think only the licorice tastes nice from there.

You should see all the Easter eggs here. I have to walk past them in the supermarket with my eyes closed. I have never seen so much choice and the little bunnies call out to me. " Put me in the basket, You no you want to" so tempting!

Also there is a shop called Sweet sensation and it sells chocolate from England, the states and other imports and you can get most uk bars there including my weekly treat WALKERS CHEESE AND ONION CRISPS. I miss the crips the most. I don't eat crisps here which is probablya good things with eating all the chocolate.

One last thing, well you did ask! There is another shop called the British Lolly shop and they sell lots of UK sweets and chocs.

Happy munching, Feeling homesick now thinking of Malteasers and crisps, oh well, I think I heard a bunny call from the fridge. Yum!

Get just the same stuff as UK and other stuff you can't get in UK. Cherry ripes are wonderful (shame can't get em in UK). Chocolate has a slightly different taste (UK compared to Aus) but whether it was better or worse, possibly slightly nicer taste to UK choc in my opinion!

The only chocolate I like eating here is Cherry Ripe and Dove which is like Galaxy,white chocolate Freddo aint bad either.

Where is this Sweet Sensation? I'm missing Walker's Crisps so much - my parents brought loads over with them on their visit, but even though we rationed ourselves, they've all gone and I'm sad (yes, probably in both senses of the word, I know), but crave any flavours.

I generally prefer the chocolate here too, just a few English bars that I really crave, like Frys Orange Cream - usually the plain, rather than the milk stuff.


Good source for English stuff is www.treatsfromhome.com.au

Me too, I love Dove (galaxy)

Same here!
Keep buying the big bars when they are on offer in IGA, trouble is, I could and do eat the full bar in a day

LOL!

Yes, we buy them when they're on special, delic!

I live in Sydney. Sorry the shop is called Sugar Fix. There is one at Warringah mall, the city, in fact mostly where there are shopping centres.
At the British lolly shop which is at Darling Harbour they sell them too

Me too,especially the caramel one...mmmm

I like the fry's mint cream, mmmmm

Does that shop there take internet orders
