Cadbury Chocolate Bars

I thought I'd take a moment and spotlight some of the UK brands of candy that we carry since it seems to be fairly popular with our customers.  Plus, blogging gives me an opportunity to do some research (which I love).  You have to constantly work at being a know-it-all..dontchaknow?


Back to the chocolate....Cadbury Dairy Milk was first presented in 1905 in the UK.  These chocolate bars were made with a higher concentration of milk than Cadbury's other chocolate bars at the time.  By 1913 it became Cadbury's top selling product line.  Currently Hershey's makes the bar here in the United States.  The formula is slightly different than that of the bar that is manufactured in the UK but still a delicious taste treat.


In the United Kingdom there are 16 versions of this chocolate bar!  Sorry Dallas, we currently only carry 4 :(.


 


Each bar is 3.5 oz and sells for $3.99.  You'll find them in our "Candy From Across the Pond" section.  C'mon, step away from your favorite and try something new!


Stay Sweet!

Zombie Jerky

It is the perfect compliment to our Zombie Mints (Brain Flavored) and Zombie Energy Drink.  Thats right, we have the Zombie Trifecta, right here in Carrolllton, TX. 

On a lighter note, we also have Easter Candy.  Just a quick peek at some of the more interesting stuff.  

First we have an interesting but very rich Easter treat from Germany made by Milka in France.  These are Milka Lil Scoops.  Nice and sweet milk chocolate Easter Eggs filled with a light and fluffy white mousse.  Each egg is individually wrapped and with its own spoon to scoop out the yummy goodness.

A truly unique Easter treat that you wont find in your local grocery store aisle.

Circus Peanuts in Lucky Charms?

While researching Circus Peanuts candy for this blog I was surprised to discover that Circus Peanuts were the inspiration of  Lucky Charms Cereal in 1963!  General Mills used shavings of Circus Peanuts to enhance the cereal and Lucky Charms was born.

The peanut shaped gummy candy was actually invented in the 16th century.  Originally it 
 was produced as an orange flavor only available seasonally due to the lack of packaging available to preserve it.  It was sold as penny candy and available in most five and dime stores.  It was made available year round in the 1940s due to innovation in confectionery and polyethylene packaging.


Through the years circus peanut candy has been made in a variety of colors and flavors although the orange is the tried and true favorite.  I would tend to agree. :)
