It’s Christmas Eve and all through the house nothing was stirring, not even a mouse. All is quite, well except the rapid sound of the keyboard clicks as I type this snack review. World of Snacks is preparing for the launch of our international online snack store that is set to open at the first of the year. Eventually you will be able to buy snacks from all around the world and have them shipped to you in the US or where ever you live. Each month in 2014 we will add a new country and their best snacks to our inventory including cookies, cakes, chocolates, chips, and sweets. Our first country is England and leading up to the store opening we are reviewing a different British Snack everyday, including Christmas Eve! So far we’ve only looked at snacks that you will be able to purchase online from our store. Tonight we are reviewing a treat that you are going to have to wait a whole year before you can order one for yourself. In honor of Christmas Eve we are taking a look at a limited production British Holiday Pack made by Cadbury. We are reviewing the Cadbury Fingers Christmas Wreath! About a year ago we did a review for Cadbury Fingers Original, so why look at the Christmas version as well? Because it’s Christmas Eve, and this pack has two additional flavors we have yet to try. Let’s take a look.
If you missed our last review of the Fingers, these at not Fingers in the traditional sense (aren’t you glad). A Cadbury Finger is a cookie that is shaped like a finger and covered with one of the three above-mentioned varieties. All three are very delicious. Of course they are because they are covered in Cadbury Chocolate, but the cookies itself is quite delightful. My personal favorite was the white chocolate and the other tester preferred the dark chocolate. The Cadbury Fingers Christmas Wreath is ideal for putting cookies out for Santa or serving up at a holiday party. If you are searching for Cadbury Fingers in the US or anywhere in the world, don’t worry. Even though you will not be able to purchase the Cadbury Fingers Wreath until next year we will stock the traditional Fingers online starting about mid January. If you'd like to receive coupons and product notifications be sure to leave your details to the right. Merry Christmas everyone and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Christmas Day British Snack Review!

We are only 8 days away from the launch of our international snack store. Starting January 1st you will be able to buy 33 of the top British Snacks online and have them shipped from here in the US to you, no matter where you live! Every month throughout 2014 we will add a new country and their best cookies, cakes, chips, chocolates, and sweets to our inventory. In anticipation of our selection of snacks from England we are reviewing a new British Snack every singe day this month. Our snack under review today is the Hula Hoops Salt & Vinegar Flavor Potato Rings.
The smell from the freshly opened bag is pleasant, not too overpowering, but very intriguing. The name Hula Hoops comes from the shape. This potato snack is a thick crunchy circle. We really do mean crunchy too, the thinness makes the crunch very prevalent. Just like the aroma, the snack is not too overpowering. The salt and vinegar flavor is pleasant, and from past experiences it’s very mild in comparison to other salt and vinegar chips, both here in the US and in the UK. Overall, we really like the Hula Hoops Salt & Vinegar Flavor Potato Rings! Looking back, the only thing the Original Flavor Hula Hoops was missing was really just flavor. So there you have it. In less than 2 weeks you will be able to buy both flavors of Hula Hoops mentioned in our snack review as well as others. At the launch of our online store we will have a special offer for customers who have signed up for our newsletter to the right. If you are into snack, be sure to leave your details. Keep snacking world! 01/01/2014 UPDATE: Salt & Vinegar Hula Hoops are now available to purchase online in our international store. In just 9 days World of Snacks will begin selling candy, crisps, cakes, and chocolate bars from England online. Each month following we will add a new country and their delicious snacks to our inventory. Leading up to the grand opening of our store we are reviewing a British Snack every single day. Once the store launches, all the recently reviewed snacks from the UK will be offered for sale in the US and shipped internationally. Yesterday we found our new favorite candy bar, the Nestle White Lion. Today we are reviewing another chocolate bar, this one produced by Cadbury. Cadbury is one of the leading British Snack brands and produces many of the top chocolate bars from England. Among these British Candy bars is the Cadbury Flake, one of our all time favorite chocolate snacks from anywhere the world. Although Cadbury currently manufactures the snack under review, J.S. Fry & Sons initially developed it back in 1929. For some reason Cadbury chooses to use the Fry’s brand one some of their snacks, but not all, and not the one we are looking at now. Our review today is for the Cadbury Crunchie Chocolate Bar. This snack from England comes in a shinny gold wrapper, has the trademark Cadbury logo in the left top corner, and has red text that reads “Cruchie” running across the width of the bar. Underneath the Crunchie logo, the bar reads, “Milk Chocolate with Golden Honeycombed Centre.” Although we had an idea of what we were reviewing, we didn’t fully understand it until we started our taste test.
Well there you have it. If you are searching for the Cadbury Crunchie Chocolate Bar from England in just 9 days you will be able to buy it in the US and have it shipped anywhere in the world. If you leave your details to the right we will give you a special offer when our store launches and keep you up-to-date with new additions to our snack store. If you are looking for other snacks from around the world be sure to vote for your favorites here. We want to make sure we don’t miss anything. Keep on snacking world! 01/01/2014 UPDATE: The Cadbury Crunchie is now available for purchase online in our international store. We are 20 days into our 31 days of British Snack reviews. Starting at the 1st of the year you will be able to purchase these snacks from England and have them shipped to you in the US and worldwide. Each month following we will add a new country and their best candy, chocolate, cookies, chips, and cakes to the inventory of our international snack store. Today we are reviewing a candy bar produced by Nestle. If you’ve been following along this month you will notice Nestle is a big producer of many top selling British Snacks. What you may not know is Nestle is actually based out of Switzerland. Nestle has a big presence in many countries worldwide but maintains the individual identity of their snacks in their native lands. Our snack under review today is the Nestle Lion White Chocolate Bar. Earlier this month our article, Nestle Lion Bar Review introduced us to this unique British Chocolate Bar that at one time was filled with Kellogg’s Special K Cereal. This bar is a limited edition version of the same candy bar but instead of being made with traditional milk chocolate, it’s made with white chocolate. The packaging is nearly identical except for the color and the word “white” added just below the roaring “Lion” logo. Enough of how it looks, how does the Nestle Lion White Chocolate Bar taste.
We highly recommend you buy the Nestle Lion White Chocolate Bar and try it for yourself. Both versions and other delicious chocolate bars from England will be available for purchase online in just a couple weeks. If you’d like to receive promotions and updates be sure to leave your details to the right. Keep on snacking world! 01/01/2014 UPDATE: The White Chocolate Lion is now available for purchase online in our international store.
We are racing through England and reviewing a total of 31 British Snacks this month. Starting January 1st you will be able to buy these British Snacks Online and have them shipped to you here in the US or worldwide. Each month following, we will add a new country and their cookies, cakes, chips, chocolates, and sweets to our international snack website. Today we are reviewing one of our favorite candy bars from England, the Cadbury Flake.
The Cadbury Flake Chocolate Bar comes is a bright yellow wrapper and has the world famous Cadbury logo and the word “Flake” spelled out in the same color. Above the word Flake it reads “The Crumbliest Flakiest Milk Chocolate.” Overall it’s an iconic look that hasn’t changed much in recent history. Enough of how it looks, how does the Cadbury Flake taste?
01/01/2014 UPDATE: The Cadbury Flake is now available for purchase online in our international store. In only 13 days our international snack store will open for business! We will eventually sell the best snacks from around the world with shipping to everywhere. On January 1st we will release 33 British Snacks and make them available for purchase online. Each month following we will add a new country to our store. Leading up to grand opening we are reviewing a British Snack everyday. Today our snack is the Mega Monster Munch Roast Beef Crisps.
We will start our review of Monster Munch Roast Beef with the pros. The large individual pieces are very enjoyable to eat. The flavor is definitely unique, although it does have similar undertones as the pickled onion version. Overall it’s a pretty enjoyable snack from England. As you may have guessed though, there are some cons. The flavor was too mild. Unlike the Pickled Onion Monster Munch this version seemed a little bland. It left our testers looking for more flavor. The flavor it did have, although enjoyable, did not taste very much like roast beef. That may be a pro though, not sure how we’d like a crisp that tastes exactly like roast beef. The seasoning reminded me personally of Ramen Noodles. For those living abroad, it’s a very cheap noodle sold in the US that has overlay salty and unrecognizable flavors. Although we will offer American Snacks starting on February 1st, Ramen Noodles will not be among them. Well there you have it. Not all the snacks we review from England can be the best. Overall we’d recommend you try the Mega Monster Munch Roast Beef Crisps for yourself. Soon you will be able to have them shipped to you, no matter where you live! We are still determining which countries will be added to our international snack store in 2014. If you have a favorite, be sure to vote here. Also to stay up-to-date leave your details to the right. Keep on snacking! 01/01/2014 UPDATE: Roast Beef Monster Munch is now available for purchase online in our international store. After a one-day break to film our cooking show featuring Cadbury Flake Chocolate Chip Cookies we are back in action and reviewing another British Snack. Every day this month we are taking time to take an in-depth look at a snacks from England that will be featured in our international snack store. Set to launch on January 1st, we will offer 33 British Snacks for sale in the US with shipping around the world. Each month following we will add a new country and their best cookies, cakes, chips, and candy to our inventory. Now onto the review! Our British Snack of the day is the Nestle Aero Mint Chocolate Bar. Serious snack enthusiasts may know Nestle is not a British owned brand. That’s OK; they are a major producer of snacks in England and all around the world. Initially Rountree produced the Aero Bar back in 1935. Interestingly enough, mint was the original flavor offered. Where does the name Aero come from? It’s short for Aerated Milk Chocolate, which is exactly what the Nestle Aero Mint Chocolate Bar is. The presentation of this mint flavored milk chocolate bar is pleasant. It comes in a white wrapper with minty green bubbles spilling of the side. The center clears back to white and allows the Nestle Logo and the Aero logo to be easily read. The letters of the Aero logo are full of small holes, just like the chocolate. Let’s see how this foreign candy bar tastes!
In just about two weeks you will be able to buy the Nestle Aero Mint Chocolate Bar in the US and have it shipped anywhere in the world. World of Snacks will also feature two other delicious Aero flavors that are set to be reviewed prior to the launch of or online store. If you’d like an opportunity to purchase snacks first and to stay up to date with our progress be sure to leave your details to the right. Keep on snacking! 01/01/2014 UPDATE: The Nestle Mint Aero is now available for purchase online in our international store. Yesterday we missed our first day of 31 consecutive British Snack Reviews. Don’t worry, we didn’t forget about you. Instead of posting another review we were hard at work producing our first cooking show! In addition to selling snacks from around the world we will also provide recipes that you can make at home utilizing international snacks. We understand you will first need to be able to buy these featured foreign snacks, so we will not officially launch this segment until after the grand opening of our international snack store. If you are just joining us, starting January 1st you will be able to buy British Snacks in the US and have them shipped around the world. Each month following we will add a new country and their delicious treats to our website. Cadbury Flake is the candy bar that can be attributed to the creation of World of Snacks. Our search for snacks from my childhood that I wanted to share with my son inspired me to develop this concept. We of course will do a full review of the Cadbury Flake here in the near future and it will definitely be among the snacks offered for sale online. Until then take a look at sneak peak of our future untitled segment. For now we will call it Cooking with Candy.
6. Pinch dough and flatten into small cookie size discs. Then take your Cadbury Flake and place in the center. Wrap dough around the Flake and place on a greased cooking sheet. You should enough dough for at least 12 cookies. 7. Place cookies into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Once removed allow cookies to cool for several minutes before enjoying. There you have it! We hope you enjoy our recipe for Cadbury Flake Chocolate Chip Cookies. We will include a dedicated section on World of Snacks for recipes with many of the delicious snacks we discover from around the world. We will also have a section dedicated to user's recipes. So if you have something you'd like to share please do so! If you are not into baking and just prefer to eat Cadbury Flakes, not to worry you will be able to buy them soon. To stay up-to-date with our progress follow us on Facebook or leave your details to the right. We are counting down the days until the launch of our international snack store. Starting January 1st you will be able to purchase British Snacks online in the US and have them shipped around the world. Each month after we will add a new country and their unique and delicious snacks to our inventory. Leading up the grand opening of our store we are reviewing a different snack from England every single day! Today we are taking a look at a staple from British Snacks giant, Cadbury. Although this British Snack powerhouse is currently owned by Mondelez International (Formerly Kraft) this brand is boldly British and loved by nearly everyone in the UK. Operating in fifty countries worldwide, Cadbury is still headquartered in London. Although Cadbury produces a wide-variety of snacks around the globe, nothing is as well known as the Cadbury Dairy Milk. In June of 1905 Cadbury produced it’s first Dairy Milk Bar. With a higher proportion of milk than any other chocolate bar in the world this sweet treat quickly became a best seller. It’s so milky that Cadbury boasts there is a glass and a half of milk in every pound of chocolate! Let jump right into our taste test of the Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Bar and see what we think of it. Guess what? It’s super milky! We’ve had the Cadbury Dairy Milk here in the US and this is definitely not the same chocolate bar. In the US you are not allowed to classify candy made of coco butter and vegetable fat as chocolate. These ingredients, combined with fresh milk from the British Isles and Fair-trade cocoa beans make this Candy Bar from England truly spectacular. It’s rich but not overly sweet, it’s smooth, and we definitely love the Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Bar! So far it’s among our favorite chocolate bars from England and throughout the world! We are excited that in just a few weeks you will be able to buy the British Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Bar in the US and have it shipped around the world. If you’d like to be notified of the launch of our store, the addition of other countries to our shop, and be invited to participate in special promotions be sure to leave your details to the right. Keep snacking and we will see you tomorrow! 01/01/2014 UPDATE: The Cadbury Dairy Milk is now available for purchase online in our international store. We created our international snack blog nearly a year ago in hopes to locate the best snacks from around the world. We have sampled chips, chocolate, cookies, cakes, gum, and candy from a total of 27 individual countries. Starting at the first of the year we are transitioning our snack website into a store offering these discovered treats for sale in the US and shipped around the world. We of course will continue our blog and our search for snacks but will also host an international snack store. Each month we will release a new country’s snacks and restock the previous countries. We will launch with a wide selection of snacks from England. Leading up to our launch we are reviewing a different British Snacks each day. Today we are looking a crisp manufactured by KP Snacks.
With such a wide variety of snacks from England and around the world stocked in our warehouse it’s truly hard to get excited about a regular flavored potato crisps. I’d imagine it’s hard to sell original flavor as well, but KP has come up with a creative presentation for those who do appreciate the simple goodness of regular unflavored potato chips. Instead of a plain chip, you get a crispy, crunchy, ring or should we say hula-hoop? It certainly is fun to play with and packs a powerful crunch once you do decide to eat it. What does this Hula Hoop Potato Ring taste like? Well unfortunately the excitement ends with the shape. It taste’s exactly like you’d expect it to, rather normal. After the crunch of the ring the thickness leads to being too overpowering as well. It made me miss a normal thin potato crisp. That being said, all tasters rated it fairly well and our 11 year old Director of Taste was a very big fan. We are getting really excited about the launch of our international snack store. You will be able to buy the Hula Hoops Original Potato Rings and other flavors made by KP Snacks. Even though we are based in the US we will offer shipping around the world. So if you are searching for British Snacks you will have a large selection presented to you in the very near future. To be informed of the addition of other counties to our inventory be sure to leave your details to the right. See you tomorrow for another British Snack review! 01/01/2014 UPDATE: Hula Hoops Original are now available for purchase online in our international store. |
