{Pile of British candy}
I can't help it, it's all this Halloween talk! And if, like me, you've a thing for British candy, but find yourself Stateside of the pond, all is not lost! Where to find candyliciousness in 3 major East Coast towns...

xenter my giveaway?
I've never had British candy before, but I LOVE candy... Perhaps I'll check out that place you listed in Boston! Do you have any favorite-candy recommendations ?
I found a British tea shop (serving high tea) here in San Diego that has a store stocked full of British goods (including laundry detergent). I think picking up a few unusual pieces of candy would be a great idea this Halloween. Do you have any favorites?
I'm glad to see you're promoting our great British candy to all your US friends! Lovely photos Jude.
This stuff looks so yummy, never tried it before!

I'm so jealous. The only American candy I like are peanut M&Ms. My favorite candybars are British. Topics are #1 - I have loved them for 30 years, though they are even getting hard to find over there. There is some KitKat thing with hazlenuts that I ate last time I was over there and it rocked my world. I don't live on the east coast so I have to wait for trips over. Luckily we've got one planned for next year!
oh wow!! i don't think i have eaten half of these before! i want to try them all!!!
candylicious!!! i wish i was 6 again to go trick or treating...
Halloween kicks it off for me ... I just dig in to the candy once. Just once! and I'm done for. The rest of the year I indulge. YUM.

I am trying to be really good and not eat chocolate and this is all so tempting. A great fun post.
I've never had British candy either, but candy is my weakness, so I'll try it if I ever hop across the pond!
Thanks for all your sweet candy comments!
@Nicole & Brandi - I'm partial to caramelly Curly Wurly, there's others (just left comments on your blogs :)).
@Jeanette - I've never had a Twist! I'd love to try, sounds absolutely D-lish!

Those shops sound really lovely but I am like you..When Im in Reading I get my candy in the Tube...hahah...Ohhh I am craving some Dairy Milk and Maltesers right now...Btw: My mom just sent me 3 huge boxes of the little goodness...(haha)
Kisses, darling
Candy?! Yes please! British candy is the closest to Australian tasting candy so I get it where I can! There's a UK shop in Santa Monica where I can stock up on all things sugary and sweet - thank goodness! There's also World Market which is great too!

Tea and Sympathy would have to be a Brit shop. Love these!
Yum! I don't waste calories on any plain ol' treats!
These look yum!
Yum! I've been craving candy all day long! And I'm trying to remember the name of another shop that carries all international candies...I went there once and it was like I died & went to heaven!
Hope you're having a good day, sweetie xoxo
That first shot is definitely getting me ready for Halloween!!
Yum! I have a few bags of chocolate covered pretzels in the fridge to satisfy my candy cravings!
I used to even just go to Tesco's for candy!
jude, just wanna let you know that your comments in my blog are highly appreciated.
they make my day. thank you so much for your support. i'm really glad i have a friend like you:)
In the shopping district in SF, there's a whole store dedicated to Scotland, and their window displays are full of British candies - stuff like Flakes and Crunchie bars and Cadbury's...and Miette (a bakery and candy store) carries them too. My parents loved them, and its the only type of candy they keep for themselves :)
I love this post. Speaking of British specialty items, I'm completely addicted to Hobnobs and can't find them anywhere here!

I heart crunchie!
What a wonderful post! I think I have to stock up on my sweets!!! :-)
Oh, you know my thing? Tunnock's Tea Cakes.

Sort of like mallomars, but better! I did find them once in NYC, not at Tea and Sympathy (though I didn't look there) but at the store selling British stuff on Hudson...
