Alert! English Cadbury's Choc Fingers In BB&B
......even though we've just got back from Blighty with a suitcase full of English chocs and Walker's crisps, my husband went to 'Bed Bath and Beyond' last night to buy a new iron.
He discovered that they're selling English made Cadbury's chocolate fingers, so he bought a box of them. They cost $2.99 and obviously, BB & B shops are located all over the US, unlike some of the supermarket chains which stock some British items which are not located nationwide.

Around Christmas time Target sells a lot of Cadbury's items, fingers, biscuit assortment tins, that kind of thing.

Don't know about other states but in NJ there is usually an Irish Shop in the mall. They sell quite a good selection of Cadbury's chocolate...and Easter eggs at Easter, selection boxes at Christmas, along with a good range of British food.

What's in Hersheys chocolate that makes it taste so nasty! When my Mum came over in the spring, she had to buy a hershey's bar to take back for a friend who wanted to try it. She was going to be nice and pick up one with almonds in for a bit of added taste but I made her take the plain one so that they could get the full effect. Guess what, they won't be asking her to bring any more home with her, they hated it!

Is it me, or do Hershey's taste like puke to anyone else (literally).....
I have 5 tins of quality street my sister brough over from England.
I was going to send 2 to my sis-in-law in AZ but they are now coming here
I take a tin to work around the 15th. They are scoffed so quick, the 'mericans love British candy (sweets) -

Re: Alert! English Cadbury's Choc Fingers In BB&B
Here in Holland we have Cadburys in the supermarket but they've taken the continental European recipe for milk chocolate not the British one and it's gross. Yet one of the high street chemists stocks Flakes and they're imported from the UK!
