ALL-TIME FAVORITES

Lion
Nestle’s Lion bar is worshipped for its complex texture and flavors. This chocolate bar has chewy caramel spread between layers of crunchy cookie (whoops, “biscuit”) inside, with an outer shell of chocolate-covered puffed rice. Sure enough, Taste of Home calls the Lion a mix between a 100 Grand and a Kit Kat. We’d say the caramel adds a Twix-like twist, too.
Double Decker
This fan-favorite gets consistent praise from taste tests of British chocolate bars. Made from crispy cereal and nougatine, it’s crunchy AND marshmallow-y – basically, texture heaven. That plus the name (based on the double-decker buses famous in London and elsewhere in the UK) makes this candy bar an English national treasure.
Dairy Milk

You can’t really have a list of popular British candy without talking about Cadbury Dairy Milk. A simple treat, this won’t necessarily blast you off into a wonderland of texture and flavor, but it is a solid British classic (and one of the oldest chocolate bars in the region). You can think of it as the British equivalent of a Hershey bar – no-frills, ...
... just neat squares of smooth, rich milk chocolate.
Aero
Described by the folks at Huffington Post as “carbonated chocolate,” the Aero bar is another British household name. The light texture of this chocolate bar comes from the tiny bubbles of air puffed throughout the candy. Whether or not you love it, it’s worth trying this unique treat.
Flake
Like any good candy bar, you can find out almost everything you need to know about Flake just by the name. A narrow chocolate bar consisting of thin, rough layers of chocolate that “flake” off when you bite into it, Cadbury Flake has been around since the 1920s and is often used as a topping for ice cream. For those who love interesting textures in their candy, Flake is a perfect choice.
Maltesers
Most Americans expect Maltesers to simply taste like Whoppers. The British malt balls come in similar spherical shapes and can easily be eaten by the handful, just like the American malted milk treat. But Americans tend to find Maltesers a little tastier than Whoppers. If you’re not a fan of the malted flavor, this popular British candy probably isn’t for you, but they are an English classic.
Honeycomb Toffee

There’s not one, but at least TWO brands of honeycomb toffee chocolate bars that should make the Brits proud: Cadbury’s Crunchie and the Mighty Fine Honeycomb Bar. Maybe it’s the fact that honeycomb toffee is so rare in the United States – it’s associated most strongly with Buffalo, NY, where it’s called “sponge candy” – that makes this treat so popular with Americans. Either way, brace yourself (and your teeth) for a seriously crunchy block of golden-brown “honeycombed” sugar covered in chocolate.
