"It feels like someone overheard a conversation about chocolate and tried to make it" Priceless and so true...😂

“It’s like someone overheard a conversation about chocolate.” Funniest thing I’ve heard all week. Brilliant with words!

“It says easy peel. That’s not the experience I’m having.” I had to pause the video I was laughing so hard 🤣🤣🤣

From UK, living in US, and you can’t believe how much I miss the chocolate, crisps and sweets from there. It’s just not the same and I’ve been here 20 years!

Regarding American milk chocolate, we produce a lot of milk in America, and it's generally quite good. What most Europeans dislike about our chocolate has to do with the way the milk is processed. Historically, our dairy farms were not located anywhere near the industrial factories where chocolate was made, so the proprietary method invented by Hershey involved putting the milk through a chemical process that produces an enzyme called butyric acid. It's the same enzyme that flavors Parmesan cheese and.... vomit. If you grow up eating American chocolate, you acquire a taste for it. If you are never exposed to it until you're an adult, you'll likely think it tastes of vomit. Now, there are small chocolate manufacturers here that don't produce chocolate in this manner, but it won't ship very well to you because it will spoil. European chocolate makers solved the shelf life issue by dehydrating milk into a powder, which has a malt like flavor and not vomit.

You should showcase Irish food that people from other countries won't know about or appreciate!

"I get the feeling that these are the worst thing I've ever put my teeth through" 🤣🤣 Exactly

Came over from TikTok. I'm so glad to learn you've got a KZfaq channel too! I'm an American fan and this was super fun

Absolutely taste a difference. Whenever I’m in London, I bring home 30lbs of dairy milk and (formerly) Toblerone from Poundland/World. It’s the corn syrup and the cocoa fat that makes our chocolate taste like shite, and all the preservatives.

Muddy Buddies started off at something called puppy chow. It is a “candy” that is VERY popular to make at home in the Midwest especially around Christmas. Chex Cereal Chocolate Peanut Butter Powered sugar

That was fun and you're DELIGHTFUL!

I got the chance to be in Europe for 6 weeks once and when I came back to America I couldn’t taste flavors in any of our food for literal months. Like the way you describe our chocolate versus yours is how every single food tasted. And it all made me sick even the most high end food I could find. All our food is trash comparatively

Halfway positive I still have butterfinger in my teeth from 1989. Brutal stuff. Would love to try Irish chocolate! Hershey's is pretty foul... almost like you accidentally took a bite of a choc scented candle. Waxy. 😄 great video, thank you!

I didn't think I liked chocolate -- until I went to Italy.

American here to provide text based American commentary to your video (you're welcome, I know how in demand my expertise must be...). Twizzlers only exist for something to chew on during either a really good or really shite movie. Tootsie rolls are only eaten on Halloween when cheap people buy them to hand out to trick or treaters who are too young to know the difference or care if they did. Butterfingers are a staple of American childhood, and the poorer your family, the more of them you eat. Nerds rope is the most American candy on the list because of course we would cover our sugar coated sugar in sugar candies. Keebler ELF cookies/biscuits are the best! I never went a week without some when I was a kid and as an adult, I'll still kill someone to get my hands on one - and you're spot on, they're perfect as a dunker! The melting of the chocolate center is perfection. Muddy Buddies - my mom always made from scratch at home - delicious that way, not great in the commercial premade form you've received. Laffy Taffy and all related forms of taffy single handedly keep dentist practices afloat here. The Hershey's mix, I've never actually eaten and I don't think anyone I know has either, but you're wrong on American chocolate. Hershey's milk chocolate is unbeatable and I'll fight to the death over it. Aaaaaaggghhh!!! Junior Mints! My favorite! I haven't the slightest what a Krimpet is, but that brand makes a lot of prepackaged snack cakes that cost you less than 2 dollars as a convenience purchase at a gas station... Not nearly cheap enough to make up for the years of life lost from eating one. Even as an American, they're too sweet. Again, you're welcome for the unsolicited in-depth commentary. 😐👍

I need some Irish chocolate!

York peppermint patties are the best American candy

I agree with the consensus; since having had Irish snacks, American chocolate is much different, & our sweets are super sweet, for some reason. However, some companies, like Cadbury, make their chocolates different for Ireland & America which is odd. I try to buy European chocolate when I can & mainly just eat dark chocolate anyway. Eating local foods & snacks has been one of my many favorite things about my visits to Ireland. Taytos, Flake, 99’s, digestives, baps, & of course, Tayto sambos are some of my highlights. 😊

Somebody needs to send you a box of Girl Scout cookies to evaluate. They are not in season around me right now, but next February I’ll try to remember. The trefoils are the best cookies for tea dunking.

How about a video of your recommendations for Irish snacks that North Americans should try?

I have visited ireland 8 yrs in a row. I gain weight every single time i am there. Your curry is heavenly....cant find any to compare here your chips... shut the front door... the cod.. omg. Your sweets.. if i eat candy in america i will go into a diabetic coma. I can eat loads of sweets in ireland. Someone should "make" me move to Ireland...

Taste test videos feel so cosy! More please 😇

The food/snacks in Ireland are better overall. I think the ingredients are just better, more natural, and fresher. As an American, I agree with your ratings. As a matter of fact, I think you were quite generous! 😂

Garron, American sweets (and sweet carbonated beverages) are sweetened by high fructose corn syrup not cornstarch, which is used in baking. I don't know what HFCS is and how it is made, I guess the internet would tell me, if I looked, but I might be sorry afterwards. lol New sub and I love your videos. You make me laugh and chuckle all day! Thank you & keep up the great work!

I wish you would've read the joke on the taffy wrapper. Also, I agree with everything you said here. Everyone's chocolate is superior to ours. We sweeten everything with corn syrup which wrecks the flavor of most things.

Ah Garron leave the beard, shur tis grand!

It's like someone overhead a conversation about a bar of chocolate and tried to make it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

i should send you some Canadian snacks! twizzlers are like lightly flavored plastic. and yep, irish chocolate is the best!

That nobbly dangly thingy reminds me of a "Pride" rainbow version of those things you dangle of a tree in the garden bird seed thingy to feed the birds.❤

Why have you become my favourite KZfaqr.. I think it’s cos you have no influencer / fake vibes.. it’s chill and I’m into it. Ta fella

I ❤ Jr. Mints. If you refrigerate them, they are chewier. Also, mix them into vanilla or chocolate ice cream. Yum!

The only sweet snack I really liked from America, that I've tried so far, was marshmallow. Absolutely amazing!

"Now I'm a big butterscotch man"

I was in London for 10 days send when I got back I got so sick. Over there lemonade is lemons, water, and sugar. In the US lemonade is yellow dye, corn syrup, lemon flavor, and water from soda companies.

Please do an Irish tasting. LOVE your background btw. 😂😂😂 I’m delectable

I've always said American chocolate, especially Nestle's, tastes like vomit. People have always made fun of that assessment. The sour notes in America's most popular chocolate are commonly attributed to butyric acid-a compound found in spoiled butter and, yes, vomit.

High fructose corn syrup is used in so many American foods

European chocolate is no joke ! It's very good

As an American, I specifically go to an import shop to get European candies because they’re far superior in taste. I hate American chocolate but adore Cadbury and Kinder.

Every American kid gets handfuls of Tootsie Rolls on Halloween so we get used to the artificial chocolate flavor pretty early on. Tootsie Pops are much better, in my opinion. Laffy Taffy is really just a fun kid product, but true taffy is absolutely delicious and chewy and comes in loads of different flavors! Kudos to Erin for sending you a great mix of products! Sorry about the American chocolate - it really is shite…

Wait till you try American beer .. Jayous ..I wouldn't even give it to my dog ..

This is the first video I ever saw of yours, after this I found you on TikTok. Glad to see you being successful and delicious.

"That may be the chewiest thing I ever chewed in my life" My bro haven't tried polish krowky yet.

Hersheys is literally the shitest chocolate ever. Also we had Nerds here in the late 80s, except without the chewy stuff they were stuck to here, so a box of the bally things :) There was always a rumour they got withdrawn because people were finding bits of glass in the box. That was the rumour in Waterford anyway!

How sweet of you Erin! I love the candy and treats in the box.

Your hair is awesome. Loved watching/listening to this while I cook. Thanks for the great company.

I've read that Hershey puts a chemical in their chocolate to preserve it that gives it that weird taste. Also, the US sweetens EVERYTHING with high fructose corn syrup. It has a gross, oily, powerful sweetness.

I think we should send you sweets from all over the world for you to judge. I mean Austrian chocolate is really good too!

The reason our chocolate tastes so shite (and yes, it does 😞) is because when Hershey first made shelf stable bars, he did it by putting the milk through a process called lipolysis, which creates an additional component called butyric acid - this butyric acid is what makes it taste a bit like vomit (personally, I think it tastes more like blood, like when you cut your lip, but others say vomit 🤷). Given we now have numerous safe food preservatives and myriad ways to keep chocolate shelf stable, this process is no longer necessary, however it is still used in many, if not most commercial products simply because it's tradition and what Americans have come to expect from chocolate here. Additionally, the US has much more lenient standards regarding what can pass for "milk chocolate" when compared to Ireland and the UK. It's possible to get good, proper chocolate here in the US that _doesn't_ taste like ass, but it's definitely far less common and more expensive than the Hershey's-type stuff.

put the butterfinges in vanilla ice cream... you will not regret it... you can also put the jr. mints in vanilla ice cream, too...

Twizzlers has real black licorice that is so delicious!❤

Bourbawn 😂😂😂

"Boar bawn" posh version of bourbon biscuits 😂

this is just the greatest thing i’ve seen. you’re a delight

Haven't tried any particularly Irish snacks but I have had other European sweets and I gotta say that the gas station-type sweets y'all have over there are way above and beyond in terms of taste and quality, at least to my palate, than anything sold in American gas stations or shops. In fact, one of my favorite things to do in other countries is to visit their shops and enjoy their higher-quality snack foods. Have I been looked down on as some kind of goober by locals for cheering at the perfection of a Tesco cheese and onion pastry? Yeah, but try walking in my American-snack shoes for a while, friend. See how that cheese and onion hits after that.

So nice of Erin to send you so many snacks to try. You wore the perfect shirt too. Actually, there were several snacks in that box I have never tried. I have a pretty big sweet tooth, but some of the snack cakes here are a bit too sickly sweet, even for me.

I love Butterfingers! Also, we demand to see the palate cleansing on camera! Just to make sure you're not faking it again 😂😂😂😜

Have you ever been told you look like a younger, and more handsome Orson Wells?

Your brilliant 😂❤gotta love American snacks...

Lad u may have the greatest titles for KZfaq videos I've ever seen

Bourbon chocolate cookies taste like untoasted chocolate pop tarts. They're alright. Hard to find but good. I keep mine in the refrigerator.

Our food is horrible. We put high fructose corn syrup in nearly everything. Be glad they didn't send you Neslte's chocolate, it's absolutely the shittiest. I think they might put plastic in it or something.

I must you are one funny guy anytime I watch your videos

As an American who has been to Ireland, you are dead on. Y’all’s snacks are substantially less sweet and more delicious (with exception of your giant skittles)

I just listened to your performance at Ballina hotel 2 years ago. Your voice is like WOW ❤

When I see tiktok people link to their KZfaq I never ever subscribe, but you and your accent (and beard) made me follow you across platforms. American chocolate tastes like baby sick to me so you are a stronger man than me 😂

A Boar Bawn😂😂😂

Laffy taffy is so good. Theres a joke on each wrapper. Nerds rope are also amazing

The green screen background 🤣🤣🤣🤣

American chocolate is flavoured candle wax.

Lucky Charms is wasting a golden opportunity to put this lad on the box saying " I'm Magically Delicious".

Moon pie always gives me the trots and butterfinger was like eating glass - love a zero bar,baby Ruth and many others though and root beer !

Butterfingers are my favourite US thing. If I ever get around to travelling over there I'm going to bring back a bag full as they're so expensive here if you can find them at all (NZ).

American here: Some of the stuff you had I've never tasted. Our dunkin cookie is the classic ''Oreo'' but we dunk in cold milk so no melting. My favorite candy would be M&M's, Reese's peanut butter cups, and KitKats. You're right about most of our snack food chocolates, just read the ingredients. But there's all different quality of chocolates including imported. I didn't try any snacks when in Ireland, Your desserts were real cream, butter and sugar as are our restaurant food. You do have great butter. I would have shied away from those ''crumpets'', lol, not even close to a crumpet, I would sue. Oh and the'' muddy buddies'' was a recipe you could make at home made from a breakfast cereal, Chex. Thats why it might be odd.

brilliant video 😂😂 the green screen lol 😂😂 our chocolate is the bomb we definitely do it better in Ireland 🇮🇪☘️

I'm going to have to figure out how to find some Irish dairy milk here in the US. ❤ you, Garron!

Love the reaction lol, I call maoms, mohams or may-ums

America puts corn syrup in EVERYTHING. That's probably what you're tasting in most of those products. I'm an American who has lived in Ireland for the last 14 years. My first thought was that hazlenuts are used more than almonds, peanuts or walnuts in things. The other thing I noticed is that most desserts here are soft or mushy. (The lasagne is also softer and mushier here.) But the best thing in Ireland is that the coffees in Costa or Starbucks aren't sickening sweet like in America.

Oh dude the E.L fudge cookies say double stuffed right on the package it means they have extra fudge. I was like whoa I have never seen those so stuffed lol I didn't realize they did those with extra fudge like double stuffed Oreos interesting. You might like the regular ones more especially for tea dipping!

What a brilliant new channel I have discovered this evening 😊 best wishes from Australia 🦘

Best food review on the interweb 😂

Of course being from Kentucky, I love Bourbon Balls...they are amazing. It is a pecan soaked for ages in bourbon inside a creamy filling, also made with bourbon, and covered with dark chocolate. My Nana used to make them into her 90's, and when you ate one it was like taking a large shot of bourbon. Good ol' Nana!

I have found the elf bars are like the biscuit inside of a snack bar! But without the chocolate coding

I know you think your weird but you make me laugh lad. I'm delicious

just found your channel and YES, found it delicious

Awesome real review!

Tanks, Im delicious is the current sign off and it’s lovely

I really wish I could find some Irish chocolates! I'd love to taste the difference!

The only thing good from that box is butterfinger, junior mints and laffy taffy is just a childhood nostalgic candy lol

Ya you hit the nail on the head its the corn syrup. In the 90s farmers overproduced corn and the government just decided we'll start buying corn at a fixed price as much as you can grow. And yeah 30 years later corn is in almosy every american food product.

ah you should totally do a video and rate irish biscuits in terms of how they pair with tea!

Have a try at Finland's Fazer Milk chocolate, its almost Irish standard 😆

Someone from the shore send him some salt water taffy

That was a legendary box, but ive never seen double stuffed E.L. Fudge cookies, the standard ones have a more sensible amount of fudge in the middle and are pretty solid.

Can you do a video with some close Irish equivalents? I would love to see what kind of snacks you have in Ireland.

Solid review

Reeces puffs i really love from america

When I first moved to the states I bought a giant Hershey bar thinking American Chocolate had to be good. Oh how wrong I was. They have the cheek to call it “milk” chocolate, not even close. I threw it away in disgust haha I order all my sweets/crisps from the UK/Ireland off Amazon and occasionally find some imported at local retail stores, the prices are astronomical but worth it.

Muddy Buddies are a commercial copy of "puppy chow" that you can make yourself and it's much better. REALLY messy, but better. I could eat that chocolate peanut butter coating all by itself. Forget the Chex mix and powdered sugar. Lol And you could make it with your Irish chocolate. Maybe make a video?

The only thing I picked up on the first time watching this was “I don’t have tea to hand….”
