Man, crunchies are awesome. They are however, no Dime (or Daim as it has confusingly been rebranded).

Im going to assume youre American scince youre asking what European chocolate tastes like, well having had both in recent years i can tell you getting used to European choc makes the American equivalent taste like tile gristle. I think some European choc companies have American branches though it seems youll be hard pressed to find them.

...they are available in the States. Huzzah for international markets on that one.
OT: I found these to be decent, though yeah, they kind of stick on your teeth and stuff.
Ah, to be sure, you don't know what you're on about. You can get them in any of the O'Neils around here. Along with people who'll serve you a Guinness without that fecking shamrock.CynderBloc said:You're on the right lines, it's a brand of crisps (chips) that are only available in Ireland.. They also happen to be the greatest crisps ever made

Seriously, you don't have anything like this in the USA? I'd have thought such stuff would be high up on the junky snack food charts, as it's basically a large block of slightly-aereated SOLID SUGAR (well OK, crystalline honey) with a token chocolate coating for structural purposes. I could swear you at least have something similar to Maltesers (chocolate honeycomb balls with a curious malted-milk addition).
I can't rate them, i'm afraid. For me they actually pass right through "enjoyable sugary treat", accelerate past "too damn sweet by half" and plunge headlong into "oh god i think i'm going to die, all my sweetness receptors have saturated and gone into refraction and all I can taste is bitterness", along with the associated pain and damage for the tongue and teeth. There's plenty who love 'em, however. Masochists. Or maybe they just eat them for the brain numbingly intense sugar rush.
Oh aye and if you're craving the Taytos, I'm led to believe that Seabrooks are a decent shoe-in. They're certainly a sight better than the usual Walkers mediocrity.

They might do them in Molly O'Grady's as well, but they've got that folk shite in there, so they can bollocks.CynderBloc said:
That'd be Kendall Mint Cake, which they also don't have.tahrey said:
Imagine just eating solid sugar. That's about it.
Nah, kendal mint cake at least has: 1. more chocolate, and usually decent quality dark stuff; 2. strong mint flavouring; 3. no pretensions about being a big ol' block of pressed sugar designed to keep you (and the heat producing mechanisms in your liver) trucking up and down rainy mountains all day long; 4. slightly more sensible and easy-to-bite dimensions, usually being a bit flatter; 5. far less stickiness somehow.The_root_of_all_evil said:
I can deal with KMC if I take it slow, but always give crunchies the swerve.
