American Chocolates?
 
Hi, I'm due to travel to the UK soon and stumped on what special American Chocolates to buy? I know of Hershey's, but are there any 'good ones' that you don't get in the UK?:confused:

Many thanks!:)

I'm with Sally on this one!

We were once recommended to go to a chocolate factory outside of Las Vegas. The tourists, in their tour buses, were ooh-ing and aah-ing at how special these chocolates were. I was just amazed at the special price of $1-$2 per individual chocolate that was only marginally better than Hershey's - which doesn't take much doing. The cactus garden outside was significantly better than the factory itself.

Thinking about this, it is a bit like taking coals to Newcastle... hope you weren't thinking of taking any cheese too (probably banned by Customs anyway).
