People familiar with UK candy brands: What kind of candy bar should I treat myself with after finishing my taxes?
I am in the UK (but clearly American, as I am doing my taxes right now) and am not familiar with UK brand candy. Do you have any suggestions on what kind of candy bars are good around here. No Cadbury Creme Eggs: those sick me out.
Usually I am on the ball with this stuff and have my taxes done by mid-February. This year, not so much. I’m dreading doing them.

Three Musketeers. Or a Twix bar. Or something with dark chocolate…
Good luck.
Mr. Goodbar.
or
Snickers.
I forgot about Cup-O-Gold.
Good answers, guys!
@casheroo Two of my favorites!
@AstroChuck I wish I could get that much back. Hopefully, I will get a little something back.
Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. LOTS of them!!!
A Hershey’s Special Dark chocolate bar dunked into a jar of peanut butter. Mmmmmmm….
Or a Whatchamacalit. I love those things.
If you really want to spoil yourself try this.
Anything dark chocolate. That is the only candy I will eat.
Depends. Are you getting money back or paying?
~You still have not done your taxes? NO CANDY FOR YOU!~ I am totally not serious.
I would suggest either a Snickers or a Reeses. However, I imagine we have all gotten a ton of Easter Candy so I suggest you just eat that. lol.
I think you should eat this one
@Judi They come in cases of 50! I’d need a lot of peanut butter…
If you end up having to pay money instead of getting a refund:
Reester Bunny!!
(Easter candy is now marked way down)
you don’t like Cadbury’s? What’s the point of taxes then?
Picnics are great – caramel, peanuts, and raisins. So are Aeros, partcularly the mint ones. My husband really likes Yorkies and Mars bars. And then there are the biscuits: Penguins, Club bars, squashed fly…
As the Poet said:
“Oh, to be in England now that April’s here!”
A Cadbury dairy milk bar with caramel filling. Or an Aero.
MINI EGGS
They are so amazing!!
We have been giving my very old mother with a broken wrist Cadbury’s with the caramel filling. I made a huge mistake when I read the ingredients…lots of high fructose corn syrup, I am sorry to say.
Harp, our resident chocolatie,r can confirm that one can make delicious chocolate candies without the corn syrup.
AeroBars, Galaxy!!! Seriously Galaxy. That stuff is just plain incredible. Get the small “poppables” or whatever they’re called. Oh man, then mail me some because now i’m craving them and we don’t have them here in the US.
When I was in the UK, I ate a Picnic bar pretty much every day – the combination of the raisins, caramel and chocolate is sooooo good! I was so sad when I came home and couldn’t find them anywhere in the States…
Thanks for all the good responses, guys. It is very funny that people have mentioned candy bars that exist here but not in the US. I think I am still stuck on the things they don’t have here that they do have in the US, but I’m sure that in another few months, it will be the other way around.
@adreamofautumn and @sdeutsch Give me some addresses and I’ll mail you candy in exchange for a Steak Baja Chalupa from Taco Bell (you’ll have to find a way to make sure it stays nice and fresh, though). Ha ha!
@bezdomnaya Hmmm, maybe if we overnight the chalupa and put a few of those hand-warmer packs in the box with it – they stay hot for a good 12 hours… ;)
@bezdomnaya the theory over here is to send the chalupa cold on dry ice and then you can re-heat it when it gets there in the oven!
The milk chocolate Cadbury bar is awesome. Our friends from the UK had them sent over from the UK as their guest gift at their wedding. They were amazing, and we may or may not have been taking them off people’s tables at the end of the evening…
Anything cadbury…like “Twist” – yummy super sweet milk chocolate…brilliant!
