British sweet treats!

People often joke that British food is awful, however, Britain does have a lot of tasty traditional sweet treats!

Cadbury's is one of the world's largest and oldest chocolate companies. Its origins begin with John Cadbury, who set up a company in Birmingham in 1824 selling tea, coffee and drinking chocolate. The company continued with his sons and grandsons to become a major chocolate company. In the 1860s, Cadbury's was the first company to start selling boxes of chocolate for Valentine's Day. Nowadays, Cadbury's Quality Street is still very traditional to have at Christmas Time, and in the months leading up to Christmas the supermarket shelves fill with boxes and boxes of Quality Street.

Besides Cadbury's, there are many other British chocolate brands such as Yorkie Bars, Mars bars, Maltesers, etc! Britain also has traditional sweet shops, which are a treasure trove of all kinds of sweets and chocolates, in particular hard boiled sweets. Here, sweets are displayed around the shop in glass jars, and you can ask for a paper bag of any sweet you like. Some popular ones are cola cubes, pineapple cubes, jelly babies, sugar mice, toffee whirls, sour plums, gobstoppers, humbugs and toffees.

Scotland, where I live, has its own Scottish sweet culture as well. Scottish tablet is a must-try, made of sugar, butter and condensed milk. Scottish shortbread is now also found around the world - these are biscuits also made of sugar and butter.
