OK this may seem daft to you lot but we need answers. Me and the girls are off to the UK for a couple of weeks next month. I hate/detest/vomit at the mere mention of the cakky gloppy muck but some friends of the girls have asked them to bring them back some UK chocolate because they've been told it's nice - my girls couldn't care less where it comes from, they'll eat it all and don't notice a difference. So first off I need some names of UK stuff that teenagers will like.

Secondly, we were thinking of taking some Aussie chocolate - Cherry Ripe in particular (apparently it's good ) for friends in the UK. Is it worth it? Can you get it there? Will they appreciate it?

I don't need comments about me being weird - it's a given and there's nothing I've not heard already. (that's not going to stop some of you obviously), just some advice really

Thank you

I just love the original Wagonwheels (not the mini cr*p that is on sale in Australia). Another favourite one is Mint Creams.
You might like to ask the rats that inhabit Fortitude Valley as I hear that they have a liking for chocolates.

Go to satans den (tescos) ( well they are good for SOME things ), and walk down the choccy aisle, they should have selection boxes of various brands.
Get a cadburys selection box. And one of whoever does Mars bars and twix. And nestle. Youngsters wouldnt appreciate the darker stuff.

Anything 'Galaxy' related is just proper yummmy

OK you're off my christmas card list! Go to Tesco's! Are you completely barking Hell, in a minute you'll be telling me to go to Next and buy some clothes

Selection box? That sounds like a good idea but don't they do them here

My Aussie friend here love the UK Cadbury chocolate and Galaxy - just get loads of family bars and be done with it Oh and some Yorkshire Tea

Tea? Yuk! Hate that just as much as chocolate but if you let me have your address....................

You can't get Cherry Ripes in the UK unless you pay a premium for them at an Aussie food shop. I had to get a mate to bring some over for me a few years ago. There's nothing in the UK that comes close to them.

Cool! Thanks for that. The girls couldn't remember. That's that bit sorted then. Just the English stuff to bring back then. Keep the suggestions coming

galaxy is the best chocolater ever, oh how i miss galaxy minstrels too, think the bars of galaxy will definitely be a good choice to bring back

And its cheaper then cadburys'.

Green and Black - especially if white chocolate is the preference. Not something you can eat a whole bar of in one sitting (although I've tried) as its tooo rich, but my God its good.

definatley galaxy

If you're looking for chocolate with no Aussie equivalent then try Wispa if they still do them in the UK.

Yorkie is another one that you don't get here. And I'm not sure if I've seen an Aero.

As for the selection boxes. Yes you do get them here but they'll have been made the Aussie way (fresh milk) rather than the UK way (sour milk) so there will be a taste difference.

my oh returned form trip to uk in march he said they were bringing back wispa bars i loved them too, cannot remember why they stopped making them in first place???? the only chocolate i like here that tastes the same is the bars of milk chocolate lindt.
