Although Great Britain and the United States arguably both have their gastronomical strengths and weaknesses, there is one food category where Britain dominates: Candy.
Here are a few reasons reasons why you should drop your Hershey’s bar and make a trip across the pond for some delectable British sweets.
1. You can replace the fruit in your diet with chocolate.

2. You can exchange your frittata or omlette for a Cadbury’s Creme Egg… or two.

In a Cadbury Easter Egg, you get to eat a delicious hollow milk chocolate egg only to find mini eggs or chocolate bars on the inside.
7. You get to wake up on Christmas Day and eat 7 bars of chocolate before breakfast.

Thanks to the Cadbury’s selection box sitting under the Tree, you get to start Christmas off right by eating a whole ton of chocolate before your breakfast.
8. You can give your toddler chocolate initiation.

Before toddlers can even say the word “chocolate,” they get their first tastes with chocolate buttons (preferably the white chocolate to avoid a mess, of course).
9. You can learn your farm animals.
