Hooray!

The New York Times just validated my Malteser love. When I used to work a lot in England and Scotland, I was told to bring back Cadbury bars for friends. I tried them and they were seriously yummy. I ended up hooked on Maltesers which are malted milk balls, but oh so much better than the ones we get here. This article makes me want to run to the nearby Brit shop and try a few other English candy bars. I highly recommend English candy bars (which is kinda funny cause Americans generally are pretty snobby when it comes to English food), but I'm telling you, the chocolate rocks! I mean listen to what Kevin has to say:

���Hershey���s tastes like ear wax,��� said Kevin Ellis, an Alaskan-born designer with Adobe Systems in San Francisco.

And the US Cadbury bars are not the same as the UK version:

It���s a different bar from the Cadbury bar available in the United States. According to the label, a British Cadbury Dairy Milk bar contains milk, sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, vegetable fat and emulsifiers. The version made by the Hershey Company, which holds the license from Cadbury-Schweppes to produce the candy in the United States under the British company���s direction, starts its ingredient list with sugar. It lists lactose and the emulsifier soy lecithin, which keeps the cocoa butter from separating from the cocoa. The American product also lists ���natural and artificial flavorings.���
