True. To us, "candy" means things that are not chocolate bars, such as Twizzlers, Rockets, Smarties, licorice coins, gummie snacks, and Pop Rocks. Does the USA have Pop Rocks or NERDS?
Yes as a Canadian as well I prefer a Chocolate Bar over a Candy bar because it is chocolate and it is a bar sorry call it as it is a Chocolate bar. Yes, I so want to correct that too lol but ya in the USA they call it a candy bar, not a chocolate bar I really had to get used to that when I was in the USA visiting.
🇨🇦 Tyler, you are going to have to accept the fact that Real Chocolate (made with cocoa) will always taste different/better than the plastic tasting chocolate made in the U.S.A. ! 🇨🇦
HOW DAAASRRE YOU HIW DARE YOU. ITS FIGHTING WORDS HERE LIJE IF LARRY THE CABLE GUY SAID YOUR BEER SUCKED. WICH IT DOES ACCORING TO MY BIG BRITHER POOR IT BACK IN TGE HORSE EH THE MARS BAR LOOK ANIMIC IT NEEDS MORE CHOLATE IN IT . AND MARS BARS HAVE CARMEL NUGET AND ALMONDS.
Canadian chocolate has to have 30% cocoa in it Hershey’s only has 11% cocoa in it. Hershey bars made in Canada have to be made with a different recipe to conform to Canadian standards.
@@guillaumestpierre9090 Yes, nobody but the US uses butyric. Basically Canada is closer to the UK but still not as good, for taste. The U.S. is really chintzy with the cocoa and they don’t use cocoa solids ether. They don’t care about quality, it’s all about making a quick Buck!
@@valeriemcdonald440 I’m Canadian, but I grew up with British chocolate as my mum was an English war bride. So all our relatives sent chocolate all the time, so it still is my favourite.
A Canadian posted a recipe for Smartie Cookies on a recipe website, one of the reviewers trashed it, saying it was the weirdest cookie she had ever made, tasted really weird and the texture was off. We soon realized she made it with American smarties, not the Canadian chocolatey ones. I can't even imagine what that would have tasted like. :P
@@ChrisMallow-b3j Who is Jane Rivers? I hope you are not referring to Joan. And no one can replace her. She is a legend. May she RIP. Take yourself somewhere else. Not here
canadian chocolate has less sugar and more cocoa in the mix than USA chocolate... american chocolate is "sugared down" chocolate... its why canadian chocolate is more bitter and more rich tasting. It maybe also why americans call chocolate bars CANDY bars as the cocoa content is too low to qualify as a "Chocolate Bar"... remember subway go sued for the amount of tuna in a tuna sandwich.....
Honestly, if you do a taste comparison, there is a clear winner. I stock up on Canadian KitKats whenever I can, and then share / corrupt Americans with them!
Many of the chocolate bars in Canada are different from American chocolate bars because of our connection to the United Kingdom and British candy makers. Although there are many many American influences in Canada, our connection to Britain is significantly deeper than a first glance may reveal.
Not to mention the difference in more natural ingredients. Let's also not forget the American obsession with using corn syrup instead of actual sugar in...well...pretty much everything. Ever tried American Coca-cola? It's horrible, it tastes like what I could only guess boot polish tastes like. All chemically. Someone should send him some Canadian coca-cola, he will be shocked at the difference and how much better it is.
Fun fact, I found out this also applies to Nivea Creme! America has one formula (which contains petroleum) and Germany (and the rest of the world) gets the original recipe! American laws are weird and they end up getting different formulas/versions of lots of things!
@@Hellbilly709 oh gross lol. Yeah I tend to stay away from american products...their health regulation are horrendous compared to many other nations. Especially developed ones.
@@Hellbilly709 this shouldn't shock anyone but almost everything in the US is made as cheap as possible and when a cheaper ingredient a company is using or want to use comes under scrutiny or is already on a watch list, that company does a bean counter check to see if it's cheaper long term to stick with the more expensive ingredient or enlist a Lobbyist firm to throw money at till it's allowed. Quite often it's the 2nd option and why American food has so much crap in it.
Yeah, that's the best way for sure. But you don't have to do that to notice the caramel. It almost seems like he had no caramel. Even if you bite right into a Caramilk, the caramel is usually very noticeable.
Canadian chocolate has more cocoa in it. Regulations in Canada are 31% chocolate to be considered pure chocolate and only need 10% cocoa in U.s products to be considered pure chocolate. (Thats right when something says 100% or pure it is only 100% to standard..just like ground beef for example) This 31% makes Canadian chocolate less sweet (ever taste cocoa pure when baking?) And smoother...less dense than its American counterparts. But dont worry, Canadians still taste the sweet treats, because their pallets are accustomed to less sugar. 🍫
@@GoldrefinedthrufireFry's Cocoa is incredibly bitter on it's own, but makes fantastic hot chocolate with a 2:1 ratio of sugar to chocolate, then mixed with a small amount of cold milk to make an even-blended paste, then mixed in with hot milk. 😊
Most mass-produced chocolate ends up turning into crop, I remember being in Europe with a Dutch friend of mine and Dutch chocolate is fabulous, and he bought a Nestle chocolate bar, any almost spit it out and he's like: it says fine chocolate, Swiss even but it tastes like absolute over-processed garbage. Like an over hardened piece of tanned shingle or something. 😮
As a Canadian I am so proud of our food but at the same time it's so weird seeing him react like this, it's almost like watching a child eat your favourite food for the first time
Any other Canadians here yelling "No you can't eat the red one first" when Tyler was eating the smarties? I love Aero bars, especially the variety with the mint and orange and you have to eat them really slow and enjoy the bubbles.
I totally sang the song from the Smarties commercial when he pulled out the red one and ate it first 😂 Also, yes you have to let the aero melt in your mouth.
*Cherry Blossom would have been a nice addition. I love the ritual of opening that little box and wrapper, like a Matchbox car used to be in the 1970s.*
I call BS on this. Canada uses lots of Corn Sugar. Look at coke, its not like Mexican with Cane sugar. Its Fructose like USA. Hard to find real cane sugar unless your shopping in a organic or health food store.
I take a handful of Canadian Smarties, I also melt the outer shell and end up having a mouthful of the leftover pieces mixed in with the melted chocolate. It’s addictive. Candy bar ?? No, never ever use that term for a chocolate bar nor consider them it candy. 🍬🍭 are candies in Canada.
As someone who has lived my life very close to the US/Canada border, I’d choose the taste of Canadian chocolate bars every time. Also, they don’t contain the high fructose corn syrup and other chemicals so common in American bars. As a result the Canadian bars are much smoother and milder…and maybe even better for you if that could be possible.
Even traveling Europe which is known in various countries for good their chocolate is, I STILL MISSED Canadian chocolate bars, b/c I found European chocolate while living their for months, the chocolate was too rich for my liking!!!!
I enjoyed the Aero commentary, I always think of them as so plain and basic, hearing them described as so unique and interesting is kinda making me crave one
As a Canadian senior, I still lament the closure of Neilson's chocolate division. Am I the only one who remembers their liquid 4-flavour and burnt almond/dark chocolate bars?😢
Take heart! Burnt Almond bars are available in many stores. They are now produced by Cadbury. They are slightly different than the original but still not the spot 😊.
Hmmm ok Enzymes. They don't put the soft flowing caramel inside. It's starts as a solid mass, then dusted with enzymes that breaks it down to a liquid and covered in chocolate.
@@Dr.Claw_M.A.D. the real method is quite simple. The molded tray of chocolate on the assembly line has frozen bits of caramel laid into it, then the top chocolate is put over it. Melts later.
chocolate is only allowed to be called chocolate in Canada if it's made with cocoa butter. otherwise it's labelled "chocolatey" or "candy". we have really severe food laws here lol which I love!
Incorrect We also use about 3× the cocoa solids. If we only used the same amount of chocolate liquor/cocoa solids as the U.S. we would still have to label it as "chocolatey" or "candy" regardless of how much Cocoa Butter we use. In Canada Cocoa Liquor, Cocoa Mass, Unsweetened Chocolate, Bitter Chocolate or Chocolate Liquor shall (a) be the product obtained from the mechanical disintegration of the cocoa nib with or without removal or addition of any of its constituents; and (b) contain not less than 50 per cent cocoa butter. Chocolate must be made of a natural sweetener plus; (i) Chocolate Liquor, (ii) Chocolate Liquor and Cocoa Butter **OR** (iii) Cocoa Butter and Cocoa Powder [Cocoa Powder is made from Chocolate Liquor.] Chocolate, Bittersweet Chocolate, Semi-sweet Chocolate or Dark Chocolate: Minimum 35% Cocoa Solids Minimum 18% Cocoa Butter Minimum 14% Fat-free Cocoa Solid Less than 5% Milk Solids Sweet Chocolate: Minimum 30% Cocoa Solids Minimum 18% Cocoa Butter Minimum 12% Fat-free Cocoa Solids Less than 12% Milk Solids Milk Chocolate: Minimum 25% Cocoa Solids Minimum 15% Cocoa Butter Minimum 2.5% Fat-free Cocoa Solids Minimum 12% Milk Solids Minimum 3.39% Milk fat Less than 5% Whey White Chocolate: Minimum 20% Cocoa Butter Minimum 14% Milk Solids Minimum 3.5% Milk Fat Less than 5% Whey Cocoa/Cocoa Powder: Must be made from pulverised defatted Cocoa liquor Minimum 10% Cocoa Butter Low-Fat Cocoa: Must be made from pulverised defatted Cocoa liquor Less than 10% Cocoa Butter
Lol I thought I was the only one who ate coffee crisp like that. Glad I'm not. I hardly ever got to have chocolate bars when I was a kid and I think it was because I wanted to make them last longer. Like how I used to eat the chocolate on the outside of a ferrerro Roche first. Still do sometimes too
@bholmes1035 I'm going to have that old commercial jingle looping in my head. When you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last Do you suck them very slowly or crunch them very fast Eat that candy coated chocolate So tell me when I ask When you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last
Smarties have always been my favorite. Now Tyler you just need to learn the song "When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last? Do you suck them very slowly, or crunch them very fast? Eat those candy-coated chocolates, but tell me when I ask: When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last?" BTW in 1990 when I was in Yellow Knife, the blue Smarties had sunglasses on them
I worked as a nurse in North Carolina and brought a large collection of Canadian chocolate bars to my co workers. What fun it was to watch the Americans devour the treats!
I agree, I am not a caramilk bar fan, however, I was reacting the same way. He can’t taste it, he should have tried it before the Wonderbar. Caramilk got a bad wrap, because it is not as intense a flavour
The Canadian Smarties are so good just to suck on, instead of crunching them. You taste the flavours in the candy coating, and the chocolate is a nice to clear your palette after wards before starting your next one. At Halloween time, we get multi miniature packs of just the Canadian chocolates too. I would make the 8 or 10 smarties last for almost a whole class in high school.
@@GillianMcGeorge-Cruikshank I agree. Smarties are the best. I live outside Canada now and this makes me really nostalgic for Smarties. And Coffee Crisp.
I feel bad he didn't get to try these chocolate bars the way they used to be. Aero used to be heavenly, but it's waxy now, and Smarties are nothing like they used to be.
@@Evil.Totoro and all dressed chips too! My father's cousin is from the United States and every single time he comes to visit us, he'll go back with MANY bags of all dressed chips and MANY bags of cheese curds.
The Smarties were originally a British candy. Canada has a mixture of British and American candy. Cadbury which makes a lot of candy in Canada is British. Our chocolate is just the same as British chocolate. American chocolate is different from everybody else - US chocolate just tastes funny.
Yes! I have been to several European countries and always love when I find the same snacks! I was in Portugal a few months ago and they had so many more variations of Smarties than anything I've ever seen in Ontario lol.
I've had real British chocolate and Canadian chocolate is similar, but not the same. Canadian chocolate is much better then American chocolate, but British chocolate is much better.
Some people apparently don't know that's how the TV commercial went. How do you like your coffee? Crisp. You like your coffee crisp? I like my Coffee Crisp. (holds up a Coffee Crisp chocolate bar)
Some of the “chocolate bars” taste even better if they’re frozen. Especially Caramilk. Aero bars as well. The different colours on the smarties became a huge campaign in Canada. Look up “ when you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last? Do you eat them very slowly or do you eat the red ones last?” It’s an ear worm for sure. Plus there was a huge thing when Smarties introduced the blue Smarties. We Canucks definitely have a quirky sense of humour. Here’s a way to identify real Canadians. Ask “ what chocolate bar makes a nice light snack?” The ad line and correct answer is “ Coffee Crisp makes a nice light snack”. Tyler, I’ve become a big fan of your gentle humour. You are becoming more and more Canadian. Before you know it, you’ll start apologizing to your coffee table when your big toe hits it 😂😂😂
You should try mint aero it's awesome. Canadian chocolate has much less sugar than US and uses real milk in a lot of cases. Also smarties predate m&ms smarties in 1937 and m&ms in 1941. Most of the candy examples you have originated in the UK and were produced in Canada and still are. Smarties were made by Rowntrees originally and now Nestle.
Caramamilk bars strangely enough have only been made in Canada, but I bet over the years Cadbury has cheaped out and no doubt put less and less caramel in them.. when I was a kid, they used to ooze out when you snapped it open, so the fact that you got hardly any is a testament to these companies slowly but surely cheapening their recipes over the.years 😢
I didn't this!!! I gotta say, I prefer MMs to Smarties. I actually thought it might what they put in the candy around the chocolate?!?! Growing up a friend & after going out for Halloween, we'd trade!!!! I'd give her all my Smarties, & she'd give me all of her Reese Peanut cups!!!! For some reason eating Smarties, afterwards I'd feel nauseous but later years later when M&Ms came to Canada, I was shocked that they didn't make me feel sick.
My dad (born in York UK) in 1942 bought a HUGE box of smarties when sweets went off rationing in 1953, and he made himself sick eating them all... He was born and grew up in York - Smarties were originally produced by Rowntree, who were based in York. Aero was also produced originally by Rowntree. They were bought out by Nestle in the 1980's. Mars bars are another UK invention - originally produced in 1932...
They weren’t just invented .Aero,smarties ,coffee crisp .The newest is probably the wunderbar maybe 20 years ago.They’ve been made in Canada for probably close to 60 years .
When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last? Do you suck them very slowly, or crunch them very fast? Eat those candy-coated chocolates, but tell me when I ask: When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last?
@@tarablack3309 Yes the classic purple chiclet like gum. No one had to tell the first time partaker it tastes like soap. When I was a kid I remember the confusion... This tastes like soap smells.
I don't know if it still works, but at least with the old Smarties boxes back in the 70s and 80s, once you were finished eating them, you could blow into the box and it would make a sound, like it was a kazoo, lol
I'm grateful for your channel, Tyler. Dealing with grief and stress but for whatever reason, your light hearted videos bring me a little joy. Thank you for what you share with us ❤️
I was under the impression Smarties were older and I checked out on Wikipedia. Canadian Smarties came out in 1937. While M&M came out in 1941. Smarties/Rockets came out in 1949.
Hershey's puts butyric acid in their chocolate to make it last longer. UK and Canadian brands do not. Butyric acid is the flavour in vomit and cheese. That is why American chocolate tastes "strong" and "sour".
Aero, Smarties & Mars are not exclusive to Canada. They're popular in the UK too and all 3 were originally UK creations that are now also made in Canada.
Smarties were initially candy-coated chocolates specially designed for long journeys (this way the chocolate did not melt). It was first a candy that the army used, and later they were commercialized 🔴🟠🟡🟤🟣🔵
@solaccursio M&M's are covered in chocolate. And it's "melt in your mouth, not in your hands". Pockets get a lot warmer and will eventually melt an m&m.
I think you're confused. Neither M&Ms not Smarties are -covered- in chocolate. They both have a candy shell. Smarties are superior which sucks because they are Nestle.@@Qmocean
Chocolate to me is so much better when warm and soft. Mmmmmmmm. You have to let the cats milk melt in your mouth for sure. Same with Aero. It’s like an experience. Lol
Those are some of my favorites, but there are a few missing still. Crispy Crunch is almost like thin peanut brittle wrapped in chocolate, Maltesers which are malted milk balls wrapped in chocolate (similar to Whoppers which I think you have in the US), Big Turk which is almost like a Jujube bar wrapped in chocolate (sounds weird but trust me), Crunchie which is sponge toffee wrapped in chocolate, and Mr. Big which is similar to an Oh Henry with caramel rice crisps and peanuts in chocolate and these are all worth trying to get your hands on. The reason it tastes so different to you is because Cadbury chocolate is a lot smoother and creamier than Hershey's chocolate witch a lot of people find bitter. It probably also has to do with the fact that there are a lot of laws in Canada around food production and ingredients and processing involved so you're likely tasting a lot more pure ingredients.
The Big Turk is actually a traditional candy - Turkish Delight, or Lokum - wrapped in chocolate. It's unusual cause the jelly is made with rosewater, I think. And, it's friggin' good, too.
As a Canadian this was certainly an experience to watch someone not know smarties. You reading the French on the Wunderbar had me laughing uncontrollably. I think it was because of the confidence with which it was read.
Coffee Crisp is the best chocolate bar, and my default choice. Caramilk is noteworthy for their long-time advertising campaign, in which asked the silly question, "How do they get the Caramel into the Caramilk bar ??" (with solutions including syringes and bicycle pumps), while Smarties begged the question, "When you eat your Smarties do you eat the red one last? Do you suck them very slowly or crunch them very fast ? Eat the candy coated chocolate, but tell me when I ask. When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red one last ?" And unlike M&M's, Smarties will melt both in your mouth AND in your hands. btw, the flavour you're experiencing is cocoa. Canadian chocolate contains a much higher cocoa content that its American counterpart. This is compensated for by higher sugar and artificial flavour content in the US. American "chocolate" bars are "candy" bars. Canadian chocolate bars are "chocolate" bars. Milk vs water content also vary between the countries, but so does the milk content between Canadian and Swiss chocolate (I find Swiss chocolate way too milky).
@@Dr.Claw_M.A.D. Doesn"t much matter, it's not like it was the only soft centre chocolate. But it was a clever ad gimmick and less bizarre than the Red Rose Tea Chimpanzees.
Hopefully, you will taste the AERO MINT chocolate bar. The outside is the same, but the inside 'with bubbles' is green and tastes minty. One of my favorites.
The "Coffee" in Coffee Crisp refers more to something like Cappuccino. That's why it's kinda creamy and sugary and not so much like raw black coffee. I'm really enjoying your work Tyler, as a real French Canadian from Quebec! Thank you so much :)
Regarding the Coffee Crisp bar. It used to have real coffee in it when I was growing up through the 80s and 90s. But, relatively recently, they removed the coffee, along with the image of a coffee cup on the packaging, and now it's just doesn't taste the same. 😢
I also remember that it was warped in foil inside the paper wrap, probably to keep the flavors in and definable tasted more like coffee. Much preferred to old one. Most likely cost cutting measures. 😔
@@RoyalGalleryPrints i remember the foil wrap - i remember when all the bars weren’t in plastic airtight “bags”. all to save money for sure. i just tell myself to appreciate the current situation cause it’s all gonna get worse as time goes on 🙂
But I can assure you that the Canadian versions do not taste as fine as the British ones. I once brought a selection of British chocolate bars home to Canada to do a totally non scientific taste comparison.
Some day Tyler Bucket and Tyler Rumple should do a video together. ;) Watched the video on British candy the other day and we carry most of the items here - including After Eights. Watched a few Rumple videos on the British Parliamentary system - including the speaker one and can say without a doubt that you MPs are more polite and well-behaved during Question Period (your PM's Questions) and House debates than ours. Very slight differences between the two systems.
A lot of our chocolate bars are from Cadbury, so they will be the same as the chocolate you get in the UK. We also have a lot of British food shops that sell chocolate and snacks usually only available in the UK. My favourite chocolate bar is the Double Decker!! 🍫😋
@@kyleklukas4808it has to do with food regulations. The UK requires a higher percentage of cocoa than Canada, Canada is higher than the US. Cocoa is expensive, so manufacturers put as little as possible in it. German and Swiss chocolate is even higher cocoa content (although that may be EU regulations have changed that). 😊
As a Canadian yes we have very good proportions and a lot of very good chocolate making people and when we make our chocolate we always make sure that everything is precise and perfect
It’s my understanding that American candy bars don’t have enough cocoa/ real chocolate in them to be referred to as chocolate bars… thus they are called candy bars. Canadian chocolate has more actual chocolate in it. That’s why the chocolate tastes different.
Coffee Crisp is the best!!! 😋 I miss our chocolate bars. I 🤔 it’s what I miss most since I adopted eating whole food plant based food (vegan) 😢 Although Cadbury makes a GREAT bar! Different flavours too. Now, if they’d only do coffee crisp. I make Reese bars 🤔 I should try to make that…
@@tribblesmile2800 it's just fun seeing people's first reaction to it. To be honest it sort of grows on you, yes that initial taste is weird but it sort of has a "cleansing" feel to it, after a minute though that taste is gone and it's like any other normal gum
Caramilk and areo are both kinda ment to put in your mouth and let melt rather then chew, its great well reading or working to just passively taste the chocolate lol
Although Nestle Smarties entered production in 1937, this was only in the UK. When Smarties was introduced in North America, Smarties Candy Company had already owned the Registered Trademark name "Smarties" in the US. Nestle Smarties are now exclusively available in Canada amongst North America.
As such, when the US company entered the Canadian market, they couldn't call them Smarties here, so came up with the 'Rockets' name to market them in Canada.
Pretty sure Nestle bought Smarties way way way later, and they were made by Rountree until Nestle finally bought them in1988.... there was literally no "Nestle Smarties" as you claim before 1988 LOL.. So no that was not a Nestle factory back in the thirties LOL. Smarties were made in Toronto by the British company well into the 70s until Nestle bought them in the 80s.
I'm amazed nobody sent you any Laura Secord chocolates. You covered her in a Heritage Minute a few episodes back, but she's also honoured with a chocolate named after her.
Nestle Smarties were made 4 years before M&M's in the UK, so they didn't copy them as far candy coated chocolate. The were made 12 years before the Smarties in the USA were created. The name was already in use in Canada which is why American Smarties had to pick a different name when bringing them to here.
We have the candy you showed at the beginning but we callit something different. I haven't ate them since I was a child. I think we call them sweethearts or sweettarts and we gave them out during Valentine's Day and Halloween.
My wife is from PA and migrated to Canada six years ago. We're still finding little differences to discuss about the culture here vs there. The Smarties/Rockets thing is ongoing. Rice Crispy Squares/Treats is too. But the Coffee Crisp bar and All Dressed Chips are among her favorites now.
@@williammartin2349 I've also heard that Rockets originally were made using re-purposed ammo production machinery after WW2 was over, which may have inspired the name somewhat.
The reason US doesn't have Nestle chocolates due to lack of sales, they did exist before and then Nestle sold their US chocolate division to Ferraro which is mainly why you don't see Coffee Crisp, Nestle Smarties, and Aero. And in Canada Kit Kat is made by Nestle so it does taste different It's good to note that Aero and Smarties, Mars bar were first introduced in the UK
@@marydavis5234 yes, but the name and recipes were sold to ferrero, they kept the name, may retire it eventually. remember when kitkats were made by rowntree? yah, for a while nestle sold rowntree kitkats then retired the name.
Pretty sure they're the exact same thing, just different names. I'm betting they're not called Smarties because that name was already taken for the chocolates.
Caramilk has a mild taste. If you want to savor its full flavor, you must let it melt in your mouth and... not eat it after a Wunderbar! 😂 It is my favorite of all the chocolate bars you tasted. And I also like a lot Mars and Aero. Besides those chocolate/candy bars, my favorite chocolate is Lindt: a Swiss chocolate. Delicious and real chocolate! 😍
So the main differences between smarties and m&m's aside from shape, is the chocolate (higher % of cocoa) and the fact that there are no artificial colours. People who are allergic to food colouring, like red40, can't eat m&m's but they can eat smarties
You were reading the French on the Wunderbar. In Canada it is mandatory to have both English and French on all packaging, amongst many other things. Glad you enjoyed the great quality chocolate! It’s amazing 🤩 I often mail care packages of chocolate and other Canadian candy to my brother in Indiana who can’t buy it there.
The Caramilk bar tastes so much better when you bite into a square and let it melt in your mouth rather than chewing it. P.S. has anyone tried the new salted Caramilk bar, pretty awesome😘🇨🇦
This is straight up funny watching Tyler having a food-gasm over Canadian treats. The Coffee Crisp bar is more like a French Vanilla flavor to it than a straight up coffee flavor. Smarties are just fun to eat, more than flavor packed with anything. Seeing his reaction to some of our treats makes me laugh. The Areo bar and the Coffee Crisp for example just the look on his face, may make you wonder how far the food-gasm threw him for a spin and fueled a deeper desire to visit Canada and see and experience some things for himself right here in the "Great White North"!
That can happen when something is more chocolatey than they're used to, or it's a different flavor of chocolate. Someone once had that reaction from a batch of chocolate haystack cookies I made. I cut 25% of the sugar from the original recipe and added extra baking cocoa to make up the bulk. I actually got quite a pleasant buzz from some raspberry-flavored hot chocolate once.
I remember this TV Jingle for Smarties here in Canada: "When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last? Do you suck them very slowly, or crunch them very fast? Eat that candy coated chocolate, but tell me when I ask, when you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last?"....Haven't heard that in decades but I remember it as clearly as if it were yesterday! If only companies today realized the marketing power of a jingle!!
Smarties, Areo, Coffee Crisp and Kitkat were made by UK company Roundtree when I was growing up. Roundtree was taken over by Nestle in 1988/ Caramilk has always been made by Cadbury.
My family's business was founded by three brothers in 1936 ( including my father ) and the business name included -sons' but as the years went on people just didn't understand the plural apostrophe.
I think “mr big” and “oh henry” might be canadian only chocolate bars too. The Caramilk bar had a ad campaign that asked how you think they put the caramilk in the bar…spoiler, they freeze the caramilk in a candy mold, then take the frozen caramilk out, and dip in chocolate…lol.
I remember the ad campaigns about this particular "trade secret" that was about as secretive as Col Sander's s recipe or the ingredients of the Big Mac sauce ...
Wait what?!? Is this for real??? My child mind created so many ways, but that was never one of them. I landed on egg-carton chocolate forms being filled, with a final layer of chocolate on the top which is actually the bottom.
They use rock candy. Like jaw breakers and use meat tenderizer like pineapple to break down the proteins. It will melt inside the solid cooled milk chocolate. The ad campaign deliberately puts it backwards. You end up with liquid caramel in solid milk chocolate but you put solid caramel in liquid chocolate molds. Very cute bit of mis-direction. Now has any explained the coffee crisp ad? Two old ladies talking amongst themselves. One ask "How do you like your coffee?" " Crisp." The 2nd lady says L#1 " " Crisp." "? She says. L#2 " Yes. I like my Coffee Crisp™ ! Then holds the bar to camera. I would say a dehydrated ice capo with chocolate milk best describes it.
I’m a 68 year old who used to love caramilk bars as well as liquid all sorts which each square had different liquid candy and dark chocolate. Each bar, if you bit the individual bites, the caramel or liquid all sorts the inside would pour out, and that’s why individual bites. But like a lot of things, it’s come down to shrinkenomics. Instead of raising price of candy, just shrink the amount. Coffee crisp is now my favourite. I have just quit eating those bars that has liquid candy in it. Try Mr. Big bar.
Hi Tyler ~ TRY letting the chocolate MELT in your mouth…instead….of “chewing” it. Chocolate is meant to MELT in your mouth…which I think would help you enjoy/savour the different flavours and textures more! I noticed, you appear to enjoy chocolate bars with distinct TEXTURES - like the crunchiness of the Coffee Crisp, and the air bubbles in the AERO bar. Just a thought…if you liked the AERO chocolate bar…then you will enjoy the MIRAGE chocolate bar, also. Also - AERO comes in different flavours. 💥COFFEE CRISP RULES!!!!💥 Welcome to the club!😊 Cheers my friend! I wish you, you Love Ones, and fellow subscribers a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a healthy NEW YEAR!!☃✨🎄✨☃ Shalom!🕊 P.S. You will likely notice a colour and texture difference between Canadian chocolate and American chocolate. American is more like a semisweet. The Hershey bar we have here is more “creamy” and melts like what Canadians accustomed to. Most of our chocolate bars were and many still are of European ownership. Europeans like a creamier chocolate. If you ever want to do a taste test…compare an American made HERSHEY bar with European chocolate bars - as you have already sampled a few of ours. It would be a fun comparison, and what better time to do such a delicious comparison than during CHRISTMAS!!🎄
yesss most of these taste better when u let them melt in ur mouth rather than eat it, the whole time I was like what r u doing? U cant even taste it like that! lol
@@BabyT709 EXACTLY!💥 Maybe it’s because he thinks of it as “CANDY”, as most Americans do - they “CHEW” and chow down on their chocolate! That being said, American chocolate has high fructose, grainier and a harder texture that mimics their iconic Hershey chocolate. Even their SMARTIES wanna-be (M&Ms) have a harder, thicker candy coating, and the chocolate inside is like much of their commercialized chocolate…grainier, sweeter and does not melt in your “mouth” or your “hand” like Canadians chocolate - including our SMARTIES! We prefer EUROPEAN style chocolate, as EUROPEANS make the best chocolate globally! Our chocolate, is made from the same methods and European chocolate recipes. ONLY 5 more “sleeps” before our family begins the FESTIVITIES for this year…along with a slow “graze” on the best CHOCOLATE and food well into the New Year! At some point, we wake-up from our FOOD COMA with the happiest smiles on our faces! And some great memories to go with it too! It’s been wonderful getting to know another CANUCK! So, in traditional fashion and politeness we Canadians are apparently known for… I want to wish you and your Love Ones a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy New Year….and may it be filled with many delicious CHOCOLATE moments!✨🎄✨ P.S. I made my own Chocolates this year, as I do most years. I studied under a fantastic Master Chocolatier…by the name of Bernard Callebaut…here in Edmonton. He is truly phenomenal and talented (not to mention -generous - to many worthy nonprofits) Anyhow - I took a Chocolatier course - to relieve some of the stress of University (I bake when I’m stressed and still do…my friends love it, as they get ALL my baking and chocolate creations! Works out for everyone!😉)
@@BabyT709 That part of the JOY…savoring the creamy deliciousness! Not crunch and crush it like a CANDY! Their M&Ms will NOT melt in your hand and mouth like our delightful SMARTIES will! I think the reason Tyler didn’t like the bars that weren’t “textured” - such as the Caramilk and the SMARTIES, is because he just chews it and gobbles it down - without allowing it to melt on your TASTEBUDS - BEFORE it is digested by a bunch of microbes - as microbes won’t do a “Happy Dance” over some fine Canadian Tastebud Magic Chocolate ~ LOL!😉 MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!☃✨🎄✨☃
As a Canadian who commuted to work daily in Detroit, I frequently transported Kit Kat bars for my co-workers. In Canada Kit Kat has a variety of different flavours such as Orange Kit Kat, Cappacino Kit Kat, Mint Kit Kat, Cookies and Cream, etc. My American friends loved the various Kit Kat bars and always appreciated the treats. 😋🇨🇦
I love the Gold ones; I recently scored some at London Drugs, which is the only place I know of that sells them regularly. The ruby chocolate KitKats are wonderful as well, but they usually cost more.
Kit Kats are also not uniqly Canadian either, Goto Japan and do the KitKat Tour!~~ They got sooo many diffrent kitkats.. like one per Japansese Region!~
@@Kestrel1971I lived in Japan for 2 years, and I still miss the constant interesting Kit Kat flavors that would come out. Roasted chestnut around Christmas, sakura, flan caramel, red bean, milk tea ...
You might find it interesting to know that most Canadians do not refer to chocolate bars as candy.
Unless it’s Halloween hahha
Agreed. If someone said candy, my mind would never include chocolate bars.
yeah - americans call many of them candy bars but we call them all chocolate bars
its not candy at all
True. To us, "candy" means things that are not chocolate bars, such as Twizzlers, Rockets, Smarties, licorice coins, gummie snacks, and Pop Rocks. Does the USA have Pop Rocks or NERDS?
As a Canadian, it's so odd hearing "candy bar" instead of "chocolate bar"
An Canadian and I can agree with this
As a Canadian, I want to correct it so bad. 😔
Yes as a Canadian as well I prefer a Chocolate Bar over a Candy bar because it is chocolate and it is a bar sorry call it as it is a Chocolate bar. Yes, I so want to correct that too lol but ya in the USA they call it a candy bar, not a chocolate bar I really had to get used to that when I was in the USA visiting.
i agree
Same
🇨🇦 Tyler, you are going to have to accept the fact that Real Chocolate (made with cocoa) will always taste different/better than the plastic tasting chocolate made in the U.S.A. ! 🇨🇦
Of you want a prime "plastic" tasting bar look up and try the Zero bar. It white through and through
Who names the memes or their kid with the inticials "BLT"?
HOW DAAASRRE YOU HIW DARE YOU. ITS FIGHTING WORDS HERE LIJE IF LARRY THE CABLE GUY SAID YOUR BEER SUCKED. WICH IT DOES ACCORING TO MY BIG BRITHER POOR IT BACK IN TGE HORSE EH THE MARS BAR LOOK ANIMIC IT NEEDS MORE CHOLATE IN IT . AND MARS BARS HAVE CARMEL NUGET AND ALMONDS.
I always find The chocolate he's tasting too sweet Because I'm used to like 95%😂😂😂
Hence why most chocolates made in the US are described as "chocolatey", because they don't contain enough cocoa to be called chocolate.
Every Canadian: “Tyler! Bite the Caramilk square in half, you monster!”
Omg yes
And let the Aero melt in your melt, don't just chew it!!
😂😂 yes!
@@paulamcgovern6135 ur so right. They pop and fizzle in your mouth.
You need to see the caramel drip don’t eat it in one bite
Canadian chocolate has to have 30% cocoa in it Hershey’s only has 11% cocoa in it. Hershey bars made in Canada have to be made with a different recipe to conform to Canadian standards.
butyric acid is the answer!
@@guillaumestpierre9090 Yes, nobody but the US uses butyric. Basically Canada is closer to the UK but still not as good, for taste. The U.S. is really chintzy with the cocoa and they don’t use cocoa solids ether. They don’t care about quality, it’s all about making a quick Buck!
There's nothing more American than making a quick buck. @@cheryla7480
@@cheryla7480I disagree concerning the UK chocolate. I hear Irish chocolate is very good though.
@@valeriemcdonald440 I’m Canadian, but I grew up with British chocolate as my mum was an English war bride. So all our relatives sent chocolate all the time, so it still is my favourite.
You have to let the Aero melt on your tongue and feel the bubbles, it's part of the magic lol
I want him to now try all the different flavours! I love the mint the best.
yeah it never does anything but melt for me, i hardly notice the bubbles. especially since they changed them a few years ago
As a Canadian I dislike Aeros.
yes! Best way! Feel the bubbles! Time to ship some more to him :)
I always bite the bottom off so the bubbles are more noticeable
A Canadian posted a recipe for Smartie Cookies on a recipe website, one of the reviewers trashed it, saying it was the weirdest cookie she had ever made, tasted really weird and the texture was off. We soon realized she made it with American smarties, not the Canadian chocolatey ones. I can't even imagine what that would have tasted like. :P
Americans don't have Smarties.

She says, "Face it deary, you're no Joan Rivers."
Canadian Kitkats are also different. In the US they are made by Hershey. While in Canada they are made by Nestle. So they taste completely different
And nestles is English
... and then there're the Asian KitKats ... which have an amazing range of flavours
@@kathryndunn9142 Nestle is a Swiss company, Cadbury is a British company, Hershey is American. All of them have Unique Canadian components though.
canadian chocolate has less sugar and more cocoa in the mix than USA chocolate... american chocolate is "sugared down" chocolate... its why canadian chocolate is more bitter and more rich tasting. It maybe also why americans call chocolate bars CANDY bars as the cocoa content is too low to qualify as a "Chocolate Bar"... remember subway go sued for the amount of tuna in a tuna sandwich.....
Honestly, if you do a taste comparison, there is a clear winner. I stock up on Canadian KitKats whenever I can, and then share / corrupt Americans with them!
"When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last?" Yes. Yes we do. 🇨🇦
Do you munch them very slowly, or do you crunch they very fast?

The aero goes last always too... People in my area don't like it
Yea, aero is just plain boring. Gimme a coffee crisp anyday.
My granddaughter loves Aero bars! They're her favourite!
aero is my faveeeee
@@CmanCorporations I don't like it either
Many of the chocolate bars in Canada are different from American chocolate bars because of our connection to the United Kingdom and British candy makers. Although there are many many American influences in Canada, our connection to Britain is significantly deeper than a first glance may reveal.
Not to mention the difference in more natural ingredients. Let's also not forget the American obsession with using corn syrup instead of actual sugar in...well...pretty much everything.
Ever tried American Coca-cola? It's horrible, it tastes like what I could only guess boot polish tastes like. All chemically.
Someone should send him some Canadian coca-cola, he will be shocked at the difference and how much better it is.
@@Finnssssss yeah sadly most american food is horrendous or ruined by fake and unhealthy ingredients to save costs.
Fun fact, I found out this also applies to Nivea Creme! America has one formula (which contains petroleum) and Germany (and the rest of the world) gets the original recipe! American laws are weird and they end up getting different formulas/versions of lots of things!
@@Hellbilly709 oh gross lol. Yeah I tend to stay away from american products...their health regulation are horrendous compared to many other nations. Especially developed ones.
@@Hellbilly709 this shouldn't shock anyone but almost everything in the US is made as cheap as possible and when a cheaper ingredient a company is using or want to use comes under scrutiny or is already on a watch list, that company does a bean counter check to see if it's cheaper long term to stick with the more expensive ingredient or enlist a Lobbyist firm to throw money at till it's allowed. Quite often it's the 2nd option and why American food has so much crap in it.
The key to the Caramilk is taking one square at a time and letting it melt in your mouth till the caramel starts to leak through the chocolate shell.
Same idea with areo and the bubbles lol
Yeah, that's the best way for sure. But you don't have to do that to notice the caramel. It almost seems like he had no caramel. Even if you bite right into a Caramilk, the caramel is usually very noticeable.
Break a Caramilk square in half, and watch the caramel slide out! Yummm
Exactly, that is the way to do it.
@@MsAriesQueen Bubbly nothings that taste good!
My reaction to every single chocolate you pulled up: wtf you don't have that in America?! 😆
Canadian chocolate is way better than US chocolate
U.S. bars have more sugar, less cocoa
Canadian chocolate has more cocoa in it. Regulations in Canada are 31% chocolate to be considered pure chocolate and only need 10% cocoa in U.s products to be considered pure chocolate. (Thats right when something says 100% or pure it is only 100% to standard..just like ground beef for example) This 31% makes Canadian chocolate less sweet (ever taste cocoa pure when baking?) And smoother...less dense than its American counterparts. But dont worry, Canadians still taste the sweet treats, because their pallets are accustomed to less sugar. 🍫
@@GoldrefinedthrufireFry's Cocoa is incredibly bitter on it's own, but makes fantastic hot chocolate with a 2:1 ratio of sugar to chocolate, then mixed with a small amount of cold milk to make an even-blended paste, then mixed in with hot milk. 😊
Must be the British influence
Most mass-produced chocolate ends up turning into crop, I remember being in Europe with a Dutch friend of mine and Dutch chocolate is fabulous, and he bought a Nestle chocolate bar, any almost spit it out and he's like: it says fine chocolate, Swiss even but it tastes like absolute over-processed garbage. Like an over hardened piece of tanned shingle or something. 😮
As a Canadian I am so proud of our food but at the same time it's so weird seeing him react like this, it's almost like watching a child eat your favourite food for the first time
Exactly.
👍
I mean what's the difference between Americans and children
ya
Absolutely because we as Canadians have already gotten used to The taste and the flavor
Any other Canadians here yelling "No you can't eat the red one first" when Tyler was eating the smarties? I love Aero bars, especially the variety with the mint and orange and you have to eat them really slow and enjoy the bubbles.
Yes that is what I thought right away.
You have to lick the red one and use it like lipstick, right?
Eat the red ones last
I totally sang the song from the Smarties commercial when he pulled out the red one and ate it first 😂 Also, yes you have to let the aero melt in your mouth.
Yes! I was like, "NO! Eat the red ones last!!!"
*Cherry Blossom would have been a nice addition. I love the ritual of opening that little box and wrapper, like a Matchbox car used to be in the 1970s.*
As a child, I was addicted to cherry blossom, so good each component was over the top talk about a sugar rush!
I still love em but only have a few per year.
Chocolate is different, US uses high fructose corn syrup and Canada uses cane sugar…guess it originated because of the Cuban embargo.
That is fascinating. Thank you for that. It also makes me think that I should go on vacation to Cuba sometime soon.
Canadian chocolate also less often has Butyric acid (liquid barf) added to it.
@@fukyu6681Canadian chocolate does not use it at all if Im not mistaken.
I call BS on this. Canada uses lots of Corn Sugar. Look at coke, its not like Mexican with Cane sugar. Its Fructose like USA. Hard to find real cane sugar unless your shopping in a organic or health food store.
Yeah you wish
The proper way to eat Canadian Smarties - you suck on them until the outer shell gets white and thin, then you open it like a clam shell. :)
I am glad to know it's not just me.
Lol exactly what I was going to say!@@itsatoughgo6382
yessss...the only way to eat smarties🥰
I take a handful of Canadian Smarties, I also melt the outer shell and end up having a mouthful of the leftover pieces mixed in with the melted chocolate. It’s addictive.
Candy bar ?? No, never ever use that term for a chocolate bar nor consider them it candy.
🍬🍭 are candies in Canada.
And what they call smarties we call rockets 😊
Coffee crisp gets Americans every time. It is the missing link in the chocolate bar evolution.
Yep and it’s my favourite😂
Coffee crisp is king. Idk if my holloweens would have been as fuck without them
Crispy Crunch is another one you can’t get in the U.S.
@@teeka004 Crispy Crunch is similar to a Butterfinger though.

So Happy you love our chocolate bars!! We love you, from Canada✌
If you liked the Aero bar, just wait! They come in mint and orange! Yummy!
They come in tiramisu and Nanaimo bar and other decadent flavours (strawberry maybe?) in the large mousse filled series. They are terrific
*peppermint
Can confirm! Awesome!
Yes, the Peppermint Aero after dinner.
The mint aero is my fav chocolate bar
As someone who has lived my life very close to the US/Canada border, I’d choose the taste of Canadian chocolate bars every time. Also, they don’t contain the high fructose corn syrup and other chemicals so common in American bars. As a result the Canadian bars are much smoother and milder…and maybe even better for you if that could be possible.
I call Cadbury's Fruit and Nut bar, a meal.😋
That’s why we call them chocolate bars, not candy bars! They actually have chocolate in them!
Even traveling Europe which is known in various countries for good their chocolate is, I STILL MISSED Canadian chocolate bars, b/c I found European chocolate while living their for months, the chocolate was too rich for my liking!!!!

As a Canadian senior, I still lament the closure of Neilson's chocolate division. Am I the only one who remembers their liquid 4-flavour and burnt almond/dark chocolate bars?😢
I remember. And Butter Rum bar. My first favorite chocolate bar was the Nutmilk
Take heart! Burnt Almond bars are available in many stores. They are now produced by Cadbury. They are slightly different than the original but still not the spot 😊.
Burnt almond dark my beloved...
I loved the 4 flavour bars!
oh yes! Liquid 4- flavours...yummy! How about the Treasure Chest? It was 6 chocolates joined together...
For those of us old enough to remember the ad campaign - "How do they get the soft flowing caramel in the Caramilk bar?" Loved those commercials ❤
- What will you pay for the secret of the Caramilk bar?
-- Anything.
--- Anything!? 😈
Hmmm ok Enzymes.
They don't put the soft flowing caramel inside.
It's starts as a solid mass, then dusted with enzymes that breaks it down to a liquid and covered in chocolate.
@@Dr.Claw_M.A.D. the real method is quite simple. The molded tray of chocolate on the assembly line has frozen bits of caramel laid into it, then the top chocolate is put over it. Melts later.
They were almost sexy, weren't they?
Three Musketeers bars are Fluffy not Stuffy!
Tyler, up here in Canada we rarely refer to chocolate bars as Candy bars. And our chocolate bars are made with REAL chocolate.
Really love the dark chocolate versions of a lot of them too, I forget that Americans don't have these and feel a bit spoiled sometimes XD
Ha ha😂
I’m in Ontario Canada and I’ve never heard anyone call it a candy bar. Only chocolate bars here
Yes sir we do
Coffee Crisp is a rival to the Kit Kat, they make a actual double double Tim Hortons
In Scotland, they deep fry Mars bars. It’s a delicacy, like Haggis and porridge.
That's my husband's favorite we are in Canada and they only have them at select places or for special events
Also use mars bars in rice crispy squares. Now that was rich.
chocolate is only allowed to be called chocolate in Canada if it's made with cocoa butter. otherwise it's labelled "chocolatey" or "candy". we have really severe food laws here lol which I love!

Smarties have always been my favorite. Now Tyler you just need to learn the song "When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last? Do you suck them very slowly, or crunch them very fast? Eat those candy-coated chocolates, but tell me when I ask: When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last?" BTW in 1990 when I was in Yellow Knife, the blue Smarties had sunglasses on them
I worked as a nurse in North Carolina and brought a large collection of Canadian chocolate bars to my co workers. What fun it was to watch the Americans devour the treats!
I think the Caramilk suffered a little because it came after the Wunderbar, which is a lot sweeter. :)
He should have eaten it after the Aero!
I was thinking the same thing.
Plus, he should’ve bitten that square to experiment the caramel experience.
I agree, I am not a caramilk bar fan, however, I was reacting the same way. He can’t taste it, he should have tried it before the Wonderbar. Caramilk got a bad wrap, because it is not as intense a flavour
They're also significantly better when chilled or even frozen
Interesting note, Canadian Smarties are actually older then M&M's. 😉
I don't like M & M's or Skittles. Smarties are the best.
The Canadian Smarties are so good just to suck on, instead of crunching them. You taste the flavours in the candy coating, and the chocolate is a nice to clear your palette after wards before starting your next one. At Halloween time, we get multi miniature packs of just the Canadian chocolates too. I would make the 8 or 10 smarties last for almost a whole class in high school.
That they are, Smarties were created in 1937 M&M's were a copy of the Smarties and only patented in 1941.
@@GillianMcGeorge-Cruikshank I agree. Smarties are the best. I live outside Canada now and this makes me really nostalgic for Smarties. And Coffee Crisp.
Hersheys uses s lye process to extract flavour from the cocoa bean, which causes its unique flavour

The Smarties were originally a British candy. Canada has a mixture of British and American candy. Cadbury which makes a lot of candy in Canada is British. Our chocolate is just the same as British chocolate. American chocolate is different from everybody else - US chocolate just tastes funny.
Yes! I have been to several European countries and always love when I find the same snacks! I was in Portugal a few months ago and they had so many more variations of Smarties than anything I've ever seen in Ontario lol.
I've had real British chocolate and Canadian chocolate is similar, but not the same. Canadian chocolate is much better then American chocolate, but British chocolate is much better.
That's hilarious and I'm from the states.
US chocolate really doesn't taste anything like Canadian chocolate.
I personally prefer British Smarties to Canadian Smarties.
"How do you like your coffee?...Crisp."
Fun Fact: I was once a security guard at Rowntree MacIntosh in Toronto...That was a sweet job.

I like my Coffee Crisp. (holds up a Coffee Crisp chocolate bar)
Some of the “chocolate bars” taste even better if they’re frozen. Especially Caramilk. Aero bars as well. The different colours on the smarties became a huge campaign in Canada. Look up “ when you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last? Do you eat them very slowly or do you eat the red ones last?” It’s an ear worm for sure. Plus there was a huge thing when Smarties introduced the blue Smarties. We Canucks definitely have a quirky sense of humour.
Here’s a way to identify real Canadians. Ask “ what chocolate bar makes a nice light snack?” The ad line and correct answer is “ Coffee Crisp makes a nice light snack”. Tyler, I’ve become a big fan of your gentle humour. You are becoming more and more Canadian. Before you know it, you’ll start apologizing to your coffee table when your big toe hits it 😂😂😂
"Do you eat them very slowly, or crunch them very fast?"
Wunderbar almost frozen is best.
You should try mint aero it's awesome. Canadian chocolate has much less sugar than US and uses real milk in a lot of cases. Also smarties predate m&ms smarties in 1937 and m&ms in 1941. Most of the candy examples you have originated in the UK and were produced in Canada and still are. Smarties were made by Rowntrees originally and now Nestle.
Oh man, I forgot about mint Aeros. Been out of Canada for too long.
@@Peatingtune ha. I didn’t know they were gone.
Smarties were developed in late 1800s. Google thinks so.
British Smarties taste different from Canadian ones. They have a hint of orange flavour.
Oh man! Mint aero bars are my absolute favourite! Just has that perfect recipe!
Caramamilk bars strangely enough have only been made in Canada, but I bet over the years Cadbury has cheaped out and no doubt put less and less caramel in them.. when I was a kid, they used to ooze out when you snapped it open, so the fact that you got hardly any is a testament to these companies slowly but surely cheapening their recipes over the.years 😢
I like Caramilk, but I LOVE the old (and recently revived) Rum ‘n’ Butter bar, which was similar
I grew up in the UK and we had them there in the 60's and you're right they used to ooze caramel.
Uk Cadbury tastes so much better than Canadian!! Especially your Galaxie bars.@@peterward1698
It still does and that's why I don't eat them. It needs to be a bit firmer.
I remember as a kid a caramels was a mess to eat, it was almost under pressure there was so much caramel in there lol
Smarties were developed in Britain in 1937, M&Ms were developed in The US in 1941. Many of our favorites originated in Britain.
LOL. I did a search about this as well.
I didn't this!!! I gotta say, I prefer MMs to Smarties. I actually thought it might what they put in the candy around the chocolate?!?! Growing up a friend & after going out for Halloween, we'd trade!!!! I'd give her all my Smarties, & she'd give me all of her Reese Peanut cups!!!! For some reason eating Smarties, afterwards I'd feel nauseous but later years later when M&Ms came to Canada, I was shocked that they didn't make me feel sick.
My dad (born in York UK) in 1942 bought a HUGE box of smarties when sweets went off rationing in 1953, and he made himself sick eating them all... He was born and grew up in York - Smarties were originally produced by Rowntree, who were based in York. Aero was also produced originally by Rowntree. They were bought out by Nestle in the 1980's.

@tristianlefebvre1878 wait ohenry is also canadian? I thought all of these were originally american
@@valentineblaze no I was just remembering the jingle
Also Kinder Eggs!
Those might be all available in Canada, but several of them are made in the US (like Oh Henry)
I don't know if it still works, but at least with the old Smarties boxes back in the 70s and 80s, once you were finished eating them, you could blow into the box and it would make a sound, like it was a kazoo, lol
Lol I remember that!
Same with chicklets gum!
OMG yes! I totally forgot about that.
I was so mad to realize they didn't squeak anymore 😅
Hahaha yes!!! Good one
I'm grateful for your channel, Tyler. Dealing with grief and stress but for whatever reason, your light hearted videos bring me a little joy. Thank you for what you share with us ❤️
I was under the impression Smarties were older and I checked out on Wikipedia. Canadian Smarties came out in 1937. While M&M came out in 1941. Smarties/Rockets came out in 1949.
Yeah that’s why they are called rockets here. It’s the same company but the smarties trademark was already taken here so they had to change the name
I heard smarties were used in Canadian forces, designed to withstand heat and not melt as easily
Like baseball, originated in Canada and usurped by uncle Sam
@@elisabethclarke4633 smarties do not take much to melt at all.
Hershey's puts butyric acid in their chocolate to make it last longer. UK and Canadian brands do not. Butyric acid is the flavour in vomit and cheese. That is why American chocolate tastes "strong" and "sour".
I'd have said "like baby vomit smells" but I'm a bit sensitive to the stuff.
So gross!
we use cane sugar, they use corn syrup. cuban missle crisis took more then cigars away
That acid is also present in vomit, which is why most countries do not love american chocolate
That's crazy!
Coffee Crisp and Aero bars have been my go to bars for the last 60 years. 😂
I had no idea these are all Canadian exclusive candy bars, I thought nestle was an international company….. mind blown.
Same bud
It is an international company and may/may not produce the bars elsewhere.
You can get many of these in the UK too.
These are all in the Inited Kingdom, too. In fact UK smarties each taste different. Orange ones have an orange flavor.
Aero, Smarties & Mars are not exclusive to Canada. They're popular in the UK too and all 3 were originally UK creations that are now also made in Canada.
Coffee Crisps were THE snack that you would horde in your Halloween trick or treat haul. Still my favourite cheap candy bar.
Crispy Crunch was my #1 with Coffee Crisp #2
Nope. 1 of the first to be given away.
@@SapperRJMorgan Hey, more for us! Trading was the best part!
Yup, I have three kids, and I get all the coffee crisp and crispy crunchs cause for some reason, most kids choose not to eat them
I found that they tend to be least popular chocolate. Better for me though
Smarties were initially candy-coated chocolates specially designed for long journeys (this way the chocolate did not melt). It was first a candy that the army used, and later they were commercialized 🔴🟠🟡🟤🟣🔵
I think those are M&Ms. (melts in your mouth, not in your pocket). Those were surely created for the army, I don't really know about Smarties.
@solaccursio M&M's are covered in chocolate. And it's "melt in your mouth, not in your hands". Pockets get a lot warmer and will eventually melt an m&m.
Smarties were invented in the late 1800s renamed in 1937 M&Ms were made after that
@@Qmocean you're absolutely right. I had just 5 hours of sleep and it clearly shows😂😂
I think you're confused. Neither M&Ms not Smarties are -covered- in chocolate. They both have a candy shell. Smarties are superior which sucks because they are Nestle.@@Qmocean
Why are these so mesmerizing? Maybe it's just weird seeing someone eat something I've always had for the first time. Oddly entertaining!
I want to see him eat real maple syrup. His mind would be blown. So much better than fake aunt jemima.
The way he immediately holds chocolate in his warm hands for almost a full minute at the beginning.
"Noooo! You're gonna melt them!"
Chocolate to me is so much better when warm and soft. Mmmmmmmm. You have to let the cats milk melt in your mouth for sure. Same with Aero. It’s like an experience. Lol
I got anxiety 100%
Those are some of my favorites, but there are a few missing still. Crispy Crunch is almost like thin peanut brittle wrapped in chocolate, Maltesers which are malted milk balls wrapped in chocolate (similar to Whoppers which I think you have in the US), Big Turk which is almost like a Jujube bar wrapped in chocolate (sounds weird but trust me), Crunchie which is sponge toffee wrapped in chocolate, and Mr. Big which is similar to an Oh Henry with caramel rice crisps and peanuts in chocolate and these are all worth trying to get your hands on. The reason it tastes so different to you is because Cadbury chocolate is a lot smoother and creamier than Hershey's chocolate witch a lot of people find bitter. It probably also has to do with the fact that there are a lot of laws in Canada around food production and ingredients and processing involved so you're likely tasting a lot more pure ingredients.
Excellent post, I no longer need to say anything as you have covered everything I was going to say! Good job!
What about Eatmore? Do they have those in the US?
Mr Big is a great bar.
@@Thorton5044 I had 2 of them last night! Yummy!
The Big Turk is actually a traditional candy - Turkish Delight, or Lokum - wrapped in chocolate. It's unusual cause the jelly is made with rosewater, I think. And, it's friggin' good, too.
Walt Disney World now sell Coffee Crisps at the Canadian pavilion at Epcot for anyone curious about it
As a Canadian this was certainly an experience to watch someone not know smarties. You reading the French on the Wunderbar had me laughing uncontrollably. I think it was because of the confidence with which it was read.
I actually think the coffee flavour is really noticeable. I can even smell it once it's out of the package
Coffee Crisp is the best chocolate bar, and my default choice.
Caramilk is noteworthy for their long-time advertising campaign, in which asked the silly question, "How do they get the Caramel into the Caramilk bar ??" (with solutions including syringes and bicycle pumps), while Smarties begged the question, "When you eat your Smarties do you eat the red one last? Do you suck them very slowly or crunch them very fast ? Eat the candy coated chocolate, but tell me when I ask. When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red one last ?" And unlike M&M's, Smarties will melt both in your mouth AND in your hands.
btw, the flavour you're experiencing is cocoa. Canadian chocolate contains a much higher cocoa content that its American counterpart. This is compensated for by higher sugar and artificial flavour content in the US. American "chocolate" bars are "candy" bars. Canadian chocolate bars are "chocolate" bars. Milk vs water content also vary between the countries, but so does the milk content between Canadian and Swiss chocolate (I find Swiss chocolate way too milky).
Do you remember the hand clapping game that went with the Smarties song!?!
Coffee Crisp is deadly but the full size bars arent as good as the smaller ones in my opinion
The question was how do they get the soft flowing caramel inside the chocolate.
I'll give you a hint.
They don't. It's not soft or flowing at first.
@@Dr.Claw_M.A.D. Doesn"t much matter, it's not like it was the only soft centre chocolate. But it was a clever ad gimmick and less bizarre than the Red Rose Tea Chimpanzees.
Twenty years ago, if you cracked open a Caramilk or Mars bar it would ooze caramel. They used to be incredible!
For caramel, my favourite is Rolo. For butterscotch, it's Caramac.
Yeah and almost twice the size! The caramilk is so much smaller, slimmer, now
I haven't had one in years and was surprised he said how mild it was.
Those were always 1 and 1A for me
What would you do for the secret? 😉
Hopefully, you will taste the AERO MINT chocolate bar. The outside is the same, but the inside 'with bubbles' is green and tastes minty. One of my favorites.
yeah those are great, very unique
The "Coffee" in Coffee Crisp refers more to something like Cappuccino. That's why it's kinda creamy and sugary and not so much like raw black coffee. I'm really enjoying your work Tyler, as a real French Canadian from Quebec! Thank you so much :)
Yeah, reminds me of Tim Horton's French Vanilla Cappuccino.
You gotta dip that coffee crisp in that black coffee. Trust me.
I always thought it was called coffee crisp because I kinda remember it marketed as a breakfast chocolate bar
Regarding the Coffee Crisp bar. It used to have real coffee in it when I was growing up through the 80s and 90s. But, relatively recently, they removed the coffee, along with the image of a coffee cup on the packaging, and now it's just doesn't taste the same. 😢
I'm deathly allergic to coffee. I couldn't eat them until the formula was changed.
agreed ! it’s way too sweet now 😢
I also remember that it was warped in foil inside the paper wrap, probably to keep the flavors in and definable tasted more like coffee. Much preferred to old one. Most likely cost cutting measures. 😔
@@RoyalGalleryPrints i remember the foil wrap - i remember when all the bars weren’t in plastic airtight “bags”. all to save money for sure. i just tell myself to appreciate the current situation cause it’s all gonna get worse as time goes on 🙂
also the chocolate is so thin now it hardly covers the bar anymore.
I'm British and it's interesting that practically all of these Canadian chocolate bars are the same as the ones from here.
But I can assure you that the Canadian versions do not taste as fine as the British ones. I once brought a selection of British chocolate bars home to Canada to do a totally non scientific taste comparison.
Some day Tyler Bucket and Tyler Rumple should do a video together. ;)
Watched the video on British candy the other day and we carry most of the items here - including After Eights.
Watched a few Rumple videos on the British Parliamentary system - including the speaker one and can say without a doubt that you MPs are more polite and well-behaved during Question Period (your PM's Questions) and House debates than ours. Very slight differences between the two systems.
A lot of our chocolate bars are from Cadbury, so they will be the same as the chocolate you get in the UK. We also have a lot of British food shops that sell chocolate and snacks usually only available in the UK. My favourite chocolate bar is the Double Decker!! 🍫😋
British chocolate is different from Canadian which both are different from US chocolate.
@@kyleklukas4808it has to do with food regulations. The UK requires a higher percentage of cocoa than Canada, Canada is higher than the US. Cocoa is expensive, so manufacturers put as little as possible in it. German and Swiss chocolate is even higher cocoa content (although that may be EU regulations have changed that). 😊
As a Canadian yes we have very good proportions and a lot of very good chocolate making people and when we make our chocolate we always make sure that everything is precise and perfect
It’s my understanding that American candy bars don’t have enough cocoa/ real chocolate in them to be referred to as chocolate bars… thus they are called candy bars. Canadian chocolate has more actual chocolate in it. That’s why the chocolate tastes different.
Coffee Crisp does it everytime. Newbies always love Coffee Crisp and Ketchup chips. 🇨🇦✌️
I always love watching Americans eat CC and ketchup chips for their mostly thrilled reactions!
Coffee Crisp is the best!!! 😋 I miss our chocolate bars. I 🤔 it’s what I miss most since I adopted eating whole food plant based food (vegan) 😢 Although Cadbury makes a GREAT bar! Different flavours too. Now, if they’d only do coffee crisp. I make Reese bars 🤔 I should try to make that…
Coffee Crisp Double Double slaps
Somebody needs to send him Thrills gum to give him the true Canadian experience
Those were the worst
@@tribblesmile2800 it's just fun seeing people's first reaction to it. To be honest it sort of grows on you, yes that initial taste is weird but it sort of has a "cleansing" feel to it, after a minute though that taste is gone and it's like any other normal gum
Just bite into a piece of chalk.
Thrills is my favorite gum! It's still made with real sugar.
Why be so cruel. He could cheese grate soap and go to town on that. 😅 Thrills was what the jerk houses gave us for Halloween
18:42 he was feeling the coffee crisp straight through is soul😂
Caramilk and areo are both kinda ment to put in your mouth and let melt rather then chew, its great well reading or working to just passively taste the chocolate lol
Yes, melt in the mouth.
I loved his smile when he tasted the Coffee Crisp.
My favourite!
He had a chocogasm. 😋
Coffee crisp easily the best Canadian low priced chocolate 🍫
The coffee crisp was invented during the war when they used coffee as a flavour substitute for sugar due to rationing
Although Nestle Smarties entered production in 1937, this was only in the UK. When Smarties was introduced in North America, Smarties Candy Company had already owned the Registered Trademark name "Smarties" in the US. Nestle Smarties are now exclusively available in Canada amongst North America.
As such, when the US company entered the Canadian market, they couldn't call them Smarties here, so came up with the 'Rockets' name to market them in Canada.
That was when they were renamed, yes. Rowntree had been making the "chocolate beans" since 1882 according to wiki
Smarties were even better when they were made by Rowntree
Pretty sure Nestle bought Smarties way way way later, and they were made by Rountree until Nestle finally bought them in1988.... there was literally no "Nestle Smarties" as you claim before 1988 LOL..
So no that was not a Nestle factory back in the thirties LOL. Smarties were made in Toronto by the British company well into the 70s until Nestle bought them in the 80s.
As a Canadian your smarties are called rockets for us
he said that in the video
I'm amazed nobody sent you any Laura Secord chocolates. You covered her in a Heritage Minute a few episodes back, but she's also honoured with a chocolate named after her.
Laura Secord French mint bars...so delicious
They have the best ice cream.
@@hollyyetman3776 I completely forgot about that!
Chocolate mint! The best!
@@hollyyetman3776Kawartha Dairy is the best
Nestle Smarties were made 4 years before M&M's in the UK, so they didn't copy them as far candy coated chocolate. The were made 12 years before the Smarties in the USA were created. The name was already in use in Canada which is why American Smarties had to pick a different name when bringing them to here.
How he pronounced "arachides" which is peanuts in French, had me laughing lol
Same, omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"arrachades" XD
M@ms are so much better tho
I just realized my French vocabulary entirely based on our packaging 😂
White = Orange-Cream. Yellow = Pineapple. Pink = Cherry. Green = Strawberry.
We have the candy you showed at the beginning but we callit something different. I haven't ate them since I was a child. I think we call them sweethearts or sweettarts and we gave them out during Valentine's Day and Halloween.
I loveeeee Coffee Crisp, I will usually get them at a local gas station if I’m wanting chocolate. Thanks for trying out our chocolate!!!
Coffee Crisp Ice Cream Bars also delicious
Coffee Crisp is great. I miss the vanilla latte one and hate the double double flavor CC.👍
My wife is from PA and migrated to Canada six years ago. We're still finding little differences to discuss about the culture here vs there. The Smarties/Rockets thing is ongoing. Rice Crispy Squares/Treats is too. But the Coffee Crisp bar and All Dressed Chips are among her favorites now.
except Canadian Smarties existed before American Smarties did, which is why they were renamed Rockets for sale in Canada
I think Coffee Crisp is close to everybody's favorite!
@@williammartin2349 I've also heard that Rockets originally were made using re-purposed ammo production machinery after WW2 was over, which may have inspired the name somewhat.
What about the Kraft Dinner controversy?! 😂
gotta go to the sugarbush in March. The older looking the place, the better
Canadian chocolate has a distinct flavour of 'chocolate', where as American chocolate tastes like confectioners sugar and paraffin wax.
I love your videos, you have more passion for Canada and all things Canadian than some Canadians that I know. 😀
The reason US doesn't have Nestle chocolates due to lack of sales, they did exist before and then Nestle sold their US chocolate division to Ferraro which is mainly why you don't see Coffee Crisp, Nestle Smarties, and Aero. And in Canada Kit Kat is made by Nestle so it does taste different
It's good to note that Aero and Smarties, Mars bar were first introduced in the UK
Nestle chocolate bars are made and sold in the US
@@marydavis5234 yes, but the name and recipes were sold to ferrero, they kept the name, may retire it eventually. remember when kitkats were made by rowntree? yah, for a while nestle sold rowntree kitkats then retired the name.
@@felderup ohh okay that makes sense
The American Smarties look like Canadian Rockets.
Pretty sure they're the exact same thing, just different names. I'm betting they're not called Smarties because that name was already taken for the chocolates.
Or sweettarts
@@janicereid9336those are different. In Canada, rockets are literally the same as American smarties, just different name on the package.
was gonna comment this
@@janicereid9336 That my diabetic father jam
Caramilk has a mild taste. If you want to savor its full flavor, you must let it melt in your mouth and... not eat it after a Wunderbar! 😂 It is my favorite of all the chocolate bars you tasted. And I also like a lot Mars and Aero. Besides those chocolate/candy bars, my favorite chocolate is Lindt: a Swiss chocolate. Delicious and real chocolate! 😍
This American loves Lindt chocolate. It's probably my favorite too.
So the main differences between smarties and m&m's aside from shape, is the chocolate (higher % of cocoa) and the fact that there are no artificial colours. People who are allergic to food colouring, like red40, can't eat m&m's but they can eat smarties
You were reading the French on the Wunderbar. In Canada it is mandatory to have both English and French on all packaging, amongst many other things.
Glad you enjoyed the great quality chocolate! It’s amazing 🤩
I often mail care packages of chocolate and other Canadian candy to my brother in Indiana who can’t buy it there.
Yes, Tyler read “arachid” on the product description, which is French for “peanut”.
For Christmas one year, my nephew gave me a huge tub of smarties. It still stands as my favorite Christmas gift ever.
The Caramilk bar tastes so much better when you bite into a square and let it melt in your mouth rather than chewing it. P.S. has anyone tried the new salted Caramilk bar, pretty awesome😘🇨🇦
Or just take smaller bites of the square
This is straight up funny watching Tyler having a food-gasm over Canadian treats. The Coffee Crisp bar is more like a French Vanilla flavor to it than a straight up coffee flavor. Smarties are just fun to eat, more than flavor packed with anything. Seeing his reaction to some of our treats makes me laugh. The Areo bar and the Coffee Crisp for example just the look on his face, may make you wonder how far the food-gasm threw him for a spin and fueled a deeper desire to visit Canada and see and experience some things for himself right here in the "Great White North"!
To me the coffeecrisp tastes a bit like tiramisu
That can happen when something is more chocolatey than they're used to, or it's a different flavor of chocolate. Someone once had that reaction from a batch of chocolate haystack cookies I made. I cut 25% of the sugar from the original recipe and added extra baking cocoa to make up the bulk.
I actually got quite a pleasant buzz from some raspberry-flavored hot chocolate once.
Most of them aren't even Canadian treats lol
@@sttuuu3442 Yes, having originated in Britain!
I remember this TV Jingle for Smarties here in Canada: "When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last? Do you suck them very slowly, or crunch them very fast? Eat that candy coated chocolate, but tell me when I ask, when you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last?"....Haven't heard that in decades but I remember it as clearly as if it were yesterday! If only companies today realized the marketing power of a jingle!!
Smarties, Areo, Coffee Crisp and Kitkat were made by UK company Roundtree when I was growing up. Roundtree was taken over by Nestle in 1988/ Caramilk has always been made by Cadbury.
Rowntree ( not Rowantree as I used to think ! ) is how it was spelled in the UK - they were based in York.
Rowntree's of York.
@@peterward1698 Seems to be Rowntree's actually LOL
My family's business was founded by three brothers in 1936 ( including my father ) and the business name included -sons' but as the years went on people just didn't understand the plural apostrophe.
I remember Rowntree, the English chocolate tasted better to me.
I think “mr big” and “oh henry” might be canadian only chocolate bars too. The Caramilk bar had a ad campaign that asked how you think they put the caramilk in the bar…spoiler, they freeze the caramilk in a candy mold, then take the frozen caramilk out, and dip in chocolate…lol.
What?? That is just not at all what I expected 😂
I remember the ad campaigns about this particular "trade secret" that was about as secretive as Col Sander's s recipe or the ingredients of the Big Mac sauce ...
Wait what?!? Is this for real??? My child mind created so many ways, but that was never one of them. I landed on egg-carton chocolate forms being filled, with a final layer of chocolate on the top which is actually the bottom.
Oh henry is my favourite
They use rock candy. Like jaw breakers and use meat tenderizer like pineapple to break down the proteins. It will melt inside the solid cooled milk chocolate.
The ad campaign deliberately puts it backwards. You end up with liquid caramel in solid milk chocolate but you put solid caramel in liquid chocolate molds. Very cute bit of mis-direction.
Now has any explained the coffee crisp ad?
Two old ladies talking amongst themselves. One ask "How do you like your coffee?"
" Crisp." The 2nd lady says
L#1 " " Crisp." "? She says.
L#2 " Yes. I like my Coffee Crisp™ ! Then holds the bar to camera.
I would say a dehydrated ice capo with chocolate milk best describes it.
I’m a 68 year old who used to love caramilk bars as well as liquid all sorts which each square had different liquid candy and dark chocolate. Each bar, if you bit the individual bites, the caramel or liquid all sorts the inside would pour out, and that’s why individual bites. But like a lot of things, it’s come down to shrinkenomics. Instead of raising price of candy, just shrink the amount. Coffee crisp is now my favourite. I have just quit eating those bars that has liquid candy in it. Try Mr. Big bar.
Hi Tyler ~ TRY letting the chocolate MELT in your mouth…instead….of “chewing” it. Chocolate is meant to MELT in your mouth…which I think would help you enjoy/savour the different flavours and textures more! I noticed, you appear to enjoy chocolate bars with distinct TEXTURES - like the crunchiness of the Coffee Crisp, and the air bubbles in the AERO bar.
Just a thought…if you liked the AERO chocolate bar…then you will enjoy the MIRAGE chocolate bar, also.
Also - AERO comes in different flavours.
💥COFFEE CRISP RULES!!!!💥 Welcome to the club!😊
Cheers my friend! I wish you, you Love Ones, and fellow subscribers a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a healthy NEW YEAR!!☃✨🎄✨☃
Shalom!🕊
P.S. You will likely notice a colour and texture difference between Canadian chocolate and American chocolate. American is more like a semisweet. The Hershey bar we have here is more “creamy” and melts like what Canadians accustomed to. Most of our chocolate bars were and many still are of European ownership. Europeans like a creamier chocolate. If you ever want to do a taste test…compare an American made HERSHEY bar with European chocolate bars - as you have already sampled a few of ours. It would be a fun comparison, and what better time to do such a delicious comparison than during CHRISTMAS!!🎄
yesss most of these taste better when u let them melt in ur mouth rather than eat it, the whole time I was like what r u doing? U cant even taste it like that! lol
@@BabyT709 EXACTLY!💥
Maybe it’s because he thinks of it as “CANDY”, as most Americans do - they “CHEW” and chow down on their chocolate!
That being said, American chocolate has high fructose, grainier and a harder texture that mimics their iconic Hershey chocolate.
Even their SMARTIES wanna-be (M&Ms) have a harder, thicker candy coating, and the chocolate inside is like much of their commercialized chocolate…grainier, sweeter and does not melt in your “mouth” or your “hand” like Canadians chocolate - including our SMARTIES! We prefer EUROPEAN style chocolate, as EUROPEANS make the best chocolate globally! Our chocolate, is made from the same methods and European chocolate recipes.
ONLY 5 more “sleeps” before our family begins the FESTIVITIES for this year…along with a slow “graze” on the best CHOCOLATE and food well into the New Year! At some point, we wake-up from our FOOD COMA with the happiest smiles on our faces! And some great memories to go with it too!
It’s been wonderful getting to know another CANUCK! So, in traditional fashion and politeness we Canadians are apparently known for…
I want to wish you and your Love Ones a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a Happy New Year….and may it be filled with many delicious CHOCOLATE moments!✨🎄✨
P.S. I made my own Chocolates this year, as I do most years. I studied under a fantastic Master Chocolatier…by the name of Bernard Callebaut…here in Edmonton. He is truly phenomenal and talented (not to mention -generous - to many worthy nonprofits)
Anyhow - I took a Chocolatier course - to relieve some of the stress of University (I bake when I’m stressed and still do…my friends love it, as they get ALL my baking and chocolate creations! Works out for everyone!😉)
@@BabyT709 That part of the JOY…savoring the creamy deliciousness! Not crunch and crush it like a CANDY!
Their M&Ms will NOT melt in your hand and mouth like our delightful SMARTIES will!
I think the reason Tyler didn’t like the bars that weren’t “textured” - such as the Caramilk and the SMARTIES, is because he just chews it and gobbles it down - without allowing it to melt on your TASTEBUDS - BEFORE it is digested by a bunch of microbes - as microbes won’t do a “Happy Dance” over some fine Canadian Tastebud Magic Chocolate ~ LOL!😉
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!☃✨🎄✨☃
As a Canadian who commuted to work daily in Detroit, I frequently transported Kit Kat bars for my co-workers. In Canada Kit Kat has a variety of different flavours such as Orange Kit Kat, Cappacino Kit Kat, Mint Kit Kat, Cookies and Cream, etc. My American friends loved the various Kit Kat bars and always appreciated the treats. 😋🇨🇦
I love the Gold ones; I recently scored some at London Drugs, which is the only place I know of that sells them regularly. The ruby chocolate KitKats are wonderful as well, but they usually cost more.
Kit Kats are also not uniqly Canadian either, Goto Japan and do the KitKat Tour!~~ They got sooo many diffrent kitkats.. like one per Japansese Region!~
@@Dropbaud Kit Kats aren't Canadian - they're another one from the UK. Japan does have, by far, the widest selection.
@@Kestrel1971I lived in Japan for 2 years, and I still miss the constant interesting Kit Kat flavors that would come out. Roasted chestnut around Christmas, sakura, flan caramel, red bean, milk tea ...
