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. But Americans tend to find Maltesers a little tastier than 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. Most Americans expect Maltesers to simply taste like Whoppers. For those who love interesting textures in their candy, Flake is a perfect choice. 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. Like any good candy bar, you can find out almost everything you need to know about Flake just by the name. Whether or not you love it, it’s worth trying this unique treat. The light texture of this chocolate bar comes from the tiny bubbles of air puffed throughout the candy. Aeroĭescribed by the folks at Huffington Post as “carbonated chocolate,” the Aero bar is another British household name. You can think of it as the British equivalent of a Hershey bar – no-frills, just neat squares of smooth, rich milk chocolate. 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’t really have a list of popular British candy without talking about Cadbury Dairy Milk.

Made from crispy cereal and nougatine, it’s crunchy AND marshmallow-y – basically, texture heaven. This fan-favorite gets consistent praise from taste tests of British chocolate bars.

We’d say the caramel adds a Twix-like twist, too. Sure enough, Taste of Home calls the Lion a mix between a 100 Grand and a Kit Kat. This chocolate bar has chewy caramel spread between layers of crunchy cookie (whoops, “biscuit”) inside, with an outer shell of chocolate-covered puffed rice. Nestle’s Lion bar is worshipped for its complex texture and flavors.
