Love it, reading this thread while I'm on a ~700cal/day deficit makes me hate life a bit. American candy seem so amazing though, some of it we get over here but not all of it. A real shame that you get "Swedish fish" to represent Sweden though.

I think these are the most popular candy in Sweden currently - the Raspberry/Liqourice Skull

My family is from Germany. Every year my grandmother would pack a huge metal tin full of german candy, right around the new year. Sadly, she passed away a few years ago.

European / American candy exchange?

I gave some packages of these to a foreign friend who has never heard of/tried them or anything similar. She freaked out when they started fizzing.

I remember the teacher bringing in a pack of these on St. Patrick's Day for the whole class in elementary school. She'd probably be fired for it nowadays.

Seriously though, I've never seen Nestle Smarties in the USA and according to Wikipedia they're only carried here by specialist importers.
Well, you're not missing much. Nestle Smarties aren't nearly as good as even plain M&Ms.

Something delicious from down under:

I hardly ever eat candy. When I want to eat sweets I usually go for chocolate or a cane sugar Dr. Pepper.

This Ghirardelli flavor is face rawking delicious.

Also, Ferrero Rochers are my go-to when I need chocolate + nuts.

I'm generally not a huge chocolate person, but give me a tall, cold glass of milk and a bag of Hugs or Kisses and I'm in heaven.

Is that a nut in the chocolate egg?

I really wish these were more common in the States. When I lived overseas I used to buy a couple of them a week...basically every time I went to the grocery store I'd grab one. I had a pretty nice collection of the little toys they came with, but I was never able to fully complete any of the series. I'd always come up short one from each.
