Toffifay / Toffifee
1 recommendation
"Toffifay (in the US), Toffifee (elsewhere) is a curious on the chocolate / hazenut combination. Each piece is a firm caramel cup filled with nougat, a whole hazelnut and topped with a drop of chocolate. The texture is a nice mix of creamy (chocolate) and gooey (caramel). Though Toffifay is of European origin, they market it under this name to the US market. Still, few people know about it. Some..."
Ferrero Rocher
4 recommendations
"Take a whole roasted hazenut and encase it the creamiest nutella-like hazenut chocolate creme. Then put the two into a crispy wafer shell and dip it all in creamy milk chocolate. Finally, for good measure, sprinkle some chopped hazelnuts over the chocolate and you get Ferrero Rocher. Aside from being one of the most labor intensive confection, it is one of the best I know. Each layer of this sp..."
Merci Gourmet Chocolate
1 recommendation
"Straight from the land of chocolate comes merci. You'll have a hard time finding a more delicious and presentable assortment of 'straight to your thighs' goodness. Each box represents an assortment of 7 exquisitely packaged flavors: Milk Chocolate, Coffee and Cream, Hazelnut & Almond, Hazelnut-Crème, Dark Cream, Cream Truffle and Praline & Crème. European chocolate at its best!"
Boursin Cheese
1 recommendation
"Soft, fluffy, creamy & garlicy goodness. Boursin Cheese makes a fantastic spread on toast or crackers. Boursin is flavorful without being heavy. The cheese itself is of the Gournay variety and it rocks my world! If you try it, you'll probably overindulge, so pack some mints!"
Panettone Cake
3 recommendations
"My holidays wouldn't be complete without at least one (or half a dozen) Panettone cakes! Panettone is a sweet, fluffy and fragrant pastry of Italian origin. The soft buttery dough gets its signature taste from candied orange and lemon zest. You'll find an occasional raisin here and there too. This tall Italian fruit cake goes perfectly with a hot beverage on a chilly winter afternoon. Try..."
Nestle Aero Milk Bar
3 recommendations
""Bubbles Wrapped in Chocolate" is the slogan for this fantastic British treat. When I first saw these I made fun of how Nestle figured out a way to pack half of a chocolate bar with air and sell it for the same price as any other. My skepticism melted away just like the creamy chocolate. True, the inside of the bar is filled with tiny pockets of air, but it does make quite an experience. The bubbl..."
McVities Original Digestives
1 recommendation
"Digestives are one of those British things. The name refers to an old belief in the antacid properties of the baking soda used to make this biscuit. Today, digestives are probably one of the most consumed foodstuffs in the queen's land - about 51 per second. In my opinion, they are just fabulous! Digestives are quite yummy, wholesome and filling. They are made of coarsely ground brown wheat ..."
Bounty Chocolate Bar
1 recommendation
"Bounty bars were available in the states a while back but they competed with Almond Joy and Mounds. You can still find them in international supermarkets, especially those specializing in Brit fare. At first glance Bounty and Mounds seem to be the same: chocolate covered coconut. The Bounty bar is superior because its chocolate is richer and more creamy and the coconut is more moist and Whe..."
Guylian Chocolate Seashells
1 recommendation
"Guylian Chocolate Seashells are a curious treat. The outside of each seashell is a blend of milk and white chocolate that produces a distinctive marbled appearance. This outer chocolate melts quickly and reveals a core of delicious praline filling. Guylian chocolates are almost too pretty to eat - but then you get over that quickly!"
Ritter Sport Chocolates
2 recommendations
"Incredibly smooth, luscious imported chocolate that fits my meager American college student budget. Plus, it's readily available at World Market and Trader Joe's. I especially love the Dark Chocolate with Hazelnuts. Equally fantastic is my brother's pick, the impossibly creamy Milk Chocolate with Coconut."
Weetabix Cereal
2 recommendations
"Its a British thing. Weetabix is really a curious cereal that is very tasty and also very healthy for you. Each package contains 24 'bricks' made from hearty whole grain wheat. The texture is crumbly and brittle. Some people pour milk over it to make it mushy - not my favorite. Others like to spread regular or peanut butter or jam and eat it like a biscuit - doing it this way lets you enjoy the cr..."
Kinder Chocolate
3 recommendations
"Kinder Chocolate is a long-time European favorite, slowly making its way into the US though specialty food stores. Each package of this very basic, though delicious confection contains several smaller bars of white chocolate wrapped in delicate milk chocolate. Kinder Chocolate is mostly known for its Kinder Surprise Eggs (egg shaped chocolate with toy surprise) and Kinder Bueno (hazelnut cream..."
Lion Bar
2 recommendations
"Everyone has a favorite candy bar (or dozen). For me, the Nestle Lion Bar takes the best aspects of every other candy bar I love and combines them into one crunchy, chewy, crispy, silky, carmely, nutty and chocolatey creation. Despite all these wonderful components, the bar is still light and delightful. This is a Brit favourite but it can be found in many international supermarkets and tons of..."
Nutella
38 recommendations
"creamy, spreadable chocolate... what's not to love? Nutella is delicious on fruit, crackers, toast, pancakes, by itself...and so much more. for example, tortilla + Nutella + strawberries = heaven. perfect taste balance of chocolate & hazelnuts, with a lovely texture."
Ruger Chocolate Wafers

"Forget the ordinary, overly-sweet sugar wafer. The Austrians get it right."
