I think when we got it it was about $4 - but unfortunately it was the Walmart located about 50 miles from me and yet i am in a multi-cultural area being next to an army base and that Walmart isn't- i will never understand the American logic.

My local Albertson's had After Eight mints on offer for $1.75, which is less than half the price of what they cost in the UK.

Target usually have a good stock of Toblerone, After Eight's and Lindor chocolates.

I got Cadbury's Cream Eggs in Target last night (made in the UK too) as well as Cadbury's Mini Eggs, but the latter were a Hershey product. They taste good but are not as pretty as the UK variety.

Lindor are the best- I also like Ghiaderelli wafer and/or caramel. Ar first when I came over here i was really depressed not having any decent chocolate and now a year later I am finding them all- happy days again but i still miss galaxy, crunchie and buttons- how sad am I !!

Please check the country of manufacture of the products before you purchase.

e.g. I bought Lindt chocs for Easter and didn't bother to check the country of manufacture. Back at home, discovered they're made in the US!

I also get Nestles cream in a tin but i go to the Spanish section were it cost $1.25 against $3.95 in the British section it is the same cream [tried both together on a taste test] only difference the labels in spanish

I don't know where you are in the country but our local Kroger Signature store has crunchies, buttons, double deckers, mint aero, turkish delights and quite a few others in their British section and they are cheaper than the British stores we have here in DFW. I don't remember them having galaxy though unfortunately. Lately they've had both the white and milk chocolate buttons

I took a British friend and her goddaughter in law to the local Indian grocery store. They stock an extensive selection of British manufactured chocolates (Mars bars, Crunchies, Galaxies, Flake, Double Decker, Buttons, etc.). My British friend had a fine time picking up some chocs.

I am in Georgia and the nearest store i can get Brit food from is South Carolina- a trip of about 100miles so i either have to order online( postage is extortionate) or get relatives to send over.
