Every time someone in my department returns from a trip to the UK, they bring over Cadbury chocolate bars. The UK version differs from the US in that it contains more cocoa butter, and melts at a lower temp. Hence it cannot be easily shipped over here via mail. Hence we lose out unless kind souls remember to bring some back with them.

Creamier than the US version, and not as sweet.

There's a variety that contains bits of shortbread.

This stuff is the bomb.

Heh. If you talk to some nice Canadian friends, they can always smuggle some in for you. There's always a British sweet shop in the neighbourhood.

With regards to those other ordinary little chocolates, like Godiva and the like? Forget it! These (http://www.bernardcallebaut.com/users/folder.asp) have the power to subvert entire countries. *cough* Just saying.

But--but--if you guys can get it, we should at least be able to get it in the northern US. I mean, you guys get hot weather too.

I've heard of Callebaut, but I don't think I've seen it locally.

I tried Leonidas after a friend rated it a 9 on a scale of 1-10. He rated Godiva a 3. He said he'd never had a 10.
