Canadian Candy Bars

     So, Jessica was bored a few weeks ago and decided to mail me a package, including some Canadian candy inside. Since I'm currently bored and because it's interesting, I decided to rate them. One thing I found interesting is that the health information is printed in both English and French; not sure whether that's the case all across the country or just if it's a Quebec/Ontario thing.

Crunchie
     Made by Cadbury, this is a toffee-flavored candy bar similar in texture to an American Butterfinger. The taste is similar to a Skor or Heath, though the sweetness of the Cadbury chocolate balances out the harshness of the toffee. I liked it, which kind of surprised me. The wrapping is a yellowish-gold and red, with Cadbury purple.

Coffee Crisp
     Made by Nestle, this is somewhere between a Little Debbie Nutty Bar and a Kit Kat in texture, if they tasted like mocha coffee. It was delicious! This is Amanda's favorite candy bar, and I can see why. The wrapping is also a yellowish-gold and red.

Aero
     Made by Nestle, this was shaped into ten bite-sized pieces similar to Dove chocolate. The taste and texture was similar to a Crunch bar. It was a little underwhelming, though the white and brown color scheme of the wrapping was nicely done.

Bueno
     Made by Kinder, this was wrapped two long bars per package like Twix, and filled with wafery bits and hazelnut filling. Somewhere between a Kit Kat and a Nutty Bar in texture, it was delicious and amazing.

Canadian Smarties
     These were basically plain M&M's in Spree coatings. Disappointing, but still miles better than American Smarties.

Caramilk
     Made by Cadbury, this was a little disappointing - bite-sized milk chocolate formed into a bar with caramel filling. The brown and gold wrapping was impressive, though.

Rankings:
6 - Canadian Smarties
5 - Caramilk
4 - Aero
3 - Crunchie
2 - Bueno
1 - Coffee Crisp
