Sweet tooth

On the way back from church today, for whatever reason, we were discussing British sweets and chocolates.  Not being a regular candy-bar-eating type, I haven't really tried anything they have over here.  My friends were dumbfounded.  So, naturally, we had to go to Tesco to begin my chocolate bar education.  Result:

SO MUCH CHOCOLATE.  So now I have before me the daunting task of consuming these candy bars.  Given the amount of time I have left, that is more than one a day.  I'm definitely going to call my flatmates in to help me on this one.

My first go was the Mars bar.  It gets a lot of hype around here (particularly with the Edinburgh delicacy, fried Mars bars...whether or not I try that before leaving remains to be determined...), so I thought I'd start with that.  It's basically our Milky Way (hence the presence of a Milky Way bar as well - it's something different here), only with British chocolate.  (Which is only slightly different.)  So, it's got chocolate nougat covered in caramel surrounded by chocolate.  It's ridiculously sweet and tastes a little bit malty.  Not quite my thing.  But now I've had it.

Woah.  I've just started looking up candy bar definitions on Wikipedia and now know more than I needed to about the origins, compositions, and similarities of numerous different US and UK chocolate bars.  This must stop.  I might fill you in later.  But being now totally sugar-hyped, I must go finish my essays.    O_O
