Tony's is great and tastes awesome, but the real question here is, are we european really eating that much non-EU sweets? Maybe the occasional Snickers or Mars, but all the stuff that I tasted and was from across the pond was either brutally sweet or had no flavor at all.

Marabou is Swedish but is also fully owned by Mondelez which is American. Mars, Sneakers, Bounty etcetera American.

I keep seeing the bars around and Iโ€™m very tempted to try it, but Iโ€™m allergic lmao. Itโ€™ll probably be a lot better than sneaking a Hersheyโ€™s though.

Maybe one day theyโ€™ll make a carob one.

Haven't tried these but I really enjoy Terry's chocolate! Didn't know oranges and chocolate could taste so good!
