"British" Chocolate
 
I am going home for a visit, leaving tomorrow :D

During a chat with a colleague about the trip, she asked if I can bring back some British chocolate or sweets. The people I work with eat a lot of junk, crisps, chocolate and sweets. They would like something quintessentially British but I am drawing a blank here. Other than some British Cadbury stuff, what else can I bring back?

The one I miss is Toffee Crisp. You get Coffee Crisp here but it's completely different.

Anything from the Duchy range is quintisentially British. The Duchy range is the Prince of Wales range from Highgrove. :thumbup:

Curly Wurly? Walnut Whip? Black pudding.


OK, that last one isnt technically a kind of chocolate, but is uniquely british maybe.

Maybe Thorntons choccies, they've been going for ages. You could throw in a bit of their toffee too, although the last time I had some I broke a filling.

Sherbet flying saucers are really nice and you could put a lot of them in your suitcase without going over your luggage allowance. :thumbup:
