I guess the makers are going to have to put warnings on the bars for those Brits who haven't experienced a summer before.

Wanted to know what you guys might send to a person who hasn't experienced Canadian candy?
Send them some authentic maple products (not the imitation crap). Maple butter spread thick on a toasted slice of home made bread is heaven. Maple cream or maple fudge is also a great snack.
