What is American Candy ? (In the UK we call them Sweets)

In Britain, we grow up calling many types of sugary snacks “sweets”. Chocolate is usually included in this title, and the various lollipops, chocolate bars, sherbet dips, and other good things that line the aisles of our corner shops and supermarkets are enticing, to say the least.

However, as the children of Britain get older, they are introduced to new foods from around the world. The last decade or so has seen a huge rise in the popularity of imported candy and sweets, particularly candy from America. But what makes American candy so different to sweets in Britain?

American sweets aren’t usually as rich in taste as their British counterparts (with caramel and taffy being two exceptions). There are many reasons for this, but let’s just look at chocolate as an example for now. In Britain, for something to be considered chocolate, there must be a minimum of 20% cocoa solids – but in America, it’s 10%. Britain’s sweet makers focus on taste, while American candy uses more sugar for sweetness.

The main difference that you’ll find between American candy and British sweets is the variation that is available in store. Most sweet or candy brands are based over in America, so products from M&M, Hershey’s, Reese’s, and even the humble and delicious Oreo, all have many more types of their brands available in America.

Because these companies are based in America, it’s easier for them to develop their brand there. And though Britain has its own sweet companies (Cadbury, for example), the popularity of American candy means that stores have been importing them for consumers. Of course, importing costs a fair bit, so it’s only natural that any supermarket or corner shop or even sweet shop (like Mr. Simms) would only stock flavours that are sure to be brought.

To answer the question of this post, American candy is any sweet or chocolate product that is produced in America. For those of us in Britain, the easiest way to buy these delightful products is to either buy a subscription box (which allows us to have a range of candy and other American products at a reasonable price) or buy them in-store. The downside of buying American imported candy in stores is that it’s usually quite expensive. Which means that subscription box services are typically the best way to try lots of new things without the high price tag attached.

American Chocolate Brands:
The love for chocolate does not discriminate. No matter how old you are, where you are from, how much money you have, or what your social status is, chances are there is some kind of chocolate that you can't say no to. There is a reason why chocolate is loved by people around the world -- it actually causes a chemical reaction in the brain that makes you happy.

Chocolate promotes the feelings of excitement, attraction, and nervousness that we associate with falling in love, and it acts as an antidepressant when combined with dopamine in the brain. Some people believe it is an aphrodisiac, which is why the Aztec emperor Montezuma used it like his own personal stash of Viagra.

Hershey's Chocolate
There are so many Hershey's chocolate products that I could easily write an entire article on the bestsellers. Hershey's Kisses, Hershey's chocolate bars, KitKat, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Reese's Pieces, Whoppers, Mounds, Almond Joy, and York Peppermint Patties are all Hershey's products. Some of these are Hershey's originals, and others have been acquired by the company over the years. Either way, you can't go wrong when you choose to eat a Hershey's chocolate product.
