🍪 English Snacks Taste Test

Since this is our home month, Erika and I decided to share some classic English snacks with you. We each picked three snacks to try, then compared notes. Here’s how it went…

Round 1 – Crisps 🥔

Mini Cheddars

Cheesy biscuit cracker, really tasty.
Two very satisfied customers here.
Erika: ⭐ 5/5 | Amy: ⭐ 4/5

Walkers BBQ Sauce

Classic potato crisp, mild sauce flavour (not overpowering).
Erika liked these even more than the Mini Cheddars!
Erika: ⭐ 10/5 (!!) | Amy: ⭐ 4/5 (not as good as I remembered).

👉 Winner: Walkers BBQ Sauce, thanks to Erika’s off-the-charts enthusiasm.

Round 2 – Biscuits 🍫

Fox’s Viennese

Soft biscuit with a chocolate filling.
One of my favourites, and Erika agreed.
Erika: ⭐ 4/5 | Amy: ⭐ 5/5

Bourbon Creams

Crunchier, with a good layer of chocolate in the middle.
A real childhood throwback.
Erika: ⭐ 9/10 | Amy: ⭐ 4/5

👉 Result: A tie — Erika and I swapped scores! If you’re from the UK, which would you pick?

Round 3 – Sweets 🍬

MilkyWay Magic Stars

Sweet, creamy chocolate in tiny pieces (designed for kids, but still fun).
Erika was all smiles; I wasn’t surprised.
Erika: ⭐ 5/5 | Amy: ⭐ 4/5

Strawberry Flavoured Pencils

Chewy strawberry casing with a soft white centre.
A lot more chewing than I remembered, but tasty. Erika enjoyed them too.
Erika: ⭐ 5/5 | Amy: ⭐ 3/5

👉 Winner: MilkyWay Magic Stars — but only just!

Overall Thoughts

Our final pick? Fox’s Viennese biscuits 🏆. Even Erika changed her mind after tasting everything, so they ended up winning their round as well.

That said, we’ll probably go back to our usual favourite snacks at the supermarket… though this taste test definitely reminded us how fun it is to mix things up once in a while.

It made for a really fun weekend activity, and we can’t wait to try snacks from other countries around the world. I wonder where we’ll be heading off to next…
