Right.. kinds to buy..... I'm an expert on this (both because I eat stackloads of it + my Dad owns a grocery store):

- Cadbury's Dairy Milk (better than the stuff Hershey's make under license in the States... so I'm told)
- Nestle Milkybar
- LION bar
- Kinder Bueno
- DOUBLE DECKER
- TOPIC
- Cadbury's Flake
- MILKA (German brand making it's way into the UK)
- YORKIE
- Maltesers
- Ritter Sport (German brand, hard to find stockists)
- Kinder Country
- Nestle Aero (variety of fillings, including mint)
- McVities Jaffa Cakes
- Tunnock's Milk chocolate Tea Cakes
- Nestle Quality Street (selection box)
- Cadbury's Roses (selection box)
- Thorntons (chain of Chocolate shops)
- Woolworths (try the "Pic n Mix")
- Cadbury's Twirl
- Cadbury's TimeOut
- Elizabeth Shaw's FAMOUS NAMES liqueur chocolates

Be careful transporting choclate at this time of year..... I recently posted some to my friend in Akron, Ohio and the damn stuff had melted by the time it got there.

Um English Chocolate...freaking amazing. I say mail it, or ship it to a friend or if you're travelling to the states...pack it in your luggage.

Chocolate in the uk has more milk i it than chocolate from the states,

I'd go for a selection of cadbury chocolate, or duncans which is v good [but scottish oops]

When u purchase fill out the duty forms, put it in a carry on so customs is very easy and done deal. I brought back tons of things from Ireland and did it by thebook and it worked out perfectly. Good Trip

You can buy many different English brands like Cadburys and Terry's in a newsagent or supermarket - but many of those will be familiar to you in the US anyway.

For more unusual chocolates try any of the following brands:-
Charbonel et Walker (I know they sound french but they are english!), Rococco, Montezuma's (gorgeous!!!), Green and Blacks.

You can find most of these in the big London dept stores like Selfridges, Harvey Nicks and Liberty.

By far the most popular chocolate brand in the UK is Cadbury. It is available everywhere.

There are many different varieties, but the standard "Cadbury's Dairy Milk" (which is just ordinary milk chocolate) is the biggest national seller. Its not expensive but tastes very good. It is milkier and not as sweet as a Hershey bar, which is good...although it doesn't have a very high cocoa content in it.

If you prefer a stronger chocolate with more cocoa in it, then try to find a British brand called "Green & Black"..its strong and sophisticated..a real adult chocolate! Its harder to find but is available in many grocery stores.

mail it?

MindinChaos

DON'T MAIL IT.....I have killed many buttons doing this!

We ususally keep it in with our carry on bags....a small coolie bag!....we have never had a problem with customs!!!
We usually bring back pork pies & chocolate in our bag

Liddy is Lost

Cadbury's Dairy Milk or Cadbury's Bournville.

Cadburys!its the most ordinary chocolate you can get for both england AND Ireland.

I don't think you want English chocolate.can't be any good. If you must bring back chocolate from England. I highly suggest you buy some Swiss chocolate and bring that back. or if you must, try Cadbury? it's like American chocolate . Waxy

cozjeanda

when i went cadbury is the most popular and when you are in the store you could ask them to pack it for you to carry on the plane

Yes, you walk into a shop, buy a twix then pack it in your suitcase and hey presto you have some english chocolate on it's way to the US of A!!!

toobadfaya

My ex sister in law is from there and she would always mail it.

Dark Angel

you can send it by mailing, ups or fed ex express, to keep it fresh

That-BAM!-girl!

Mail it but make sure they stay cold, you wouldn't want to get melted chocolates at the postoffice would you?
