As a transatlantic girl (half British, half American), I truly get the best of both worlds when it comes to snacks! However, since I live in Britain, I consider myself a true connoisseur of British snacks and know exactly which ones my American relatives are most jealous of. Here are the best British snacks – in no particular order – that Americans are seriously missing out on!<\/p>\n
No, not the original or the plain old chocolate covered kind, caramel chocolate Digestives are where it\u2019s at. The Digestive for the extra types among us.<\/p>\n
Do they really taste like cheese? That\u2019s debatable, but their addictiveness is definitely not.<\/p>\n
A playground classic that is supposedly for sharing (ahem), the purple and orange ones are the best.<\/p>\n
Pork pies push the boundaries of a snack, but they are a British classic guaranteed to please meat lovers.<\/p>\n
Did you even have a British childhood if you didn\u2019t wear these as rings at school lunchtime?<\/p>\n
Raise your hand if you\u2019ve ever felt victimised by the tiny bags of chocolate buttons that are \u2018one serving size\u2019\u2026 Best to get yourself a sharing bag.<\/p>\n
The snack that will make you feel a little posher. Crunchy, moreish and a little highbrow.<\/p>\n
The only way to tell your primary school crush that you fancied them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The epitome of British snacking, best smothered in butter, jam or Nutella. Make them extra British\u00a0by consuming with a pot of tea after a bracing country walk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Biscuit or cake? Either way, there is no better feeling than getting a bonus Jaffa Cake in one of those mini packs of six.<\/p>\n Another primary school classic! You’re never too grown up to enjoy a pack of Pom Bears.<\/p>\n The British snack that inspires the most jealousy amongst our American friends, Dairy Milk is the king of chocolate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ranked from stripes, fruttis to pinballs, of course.<\/p>\n Sponge and marzipan? A twenty-something grandma\u2019s dream and just look at those on-trend pastel colours!<\/p>\n Totally worth the cheesy dust that you\u2019ll find for hours after eating them and much tastier than their American counterpart, Cheetos.<\/p>\n Best enjoyed by a roaring fire and a huge mug of tea, perhaps alongside the crumpets from earlier?<\/p>\n A really hefty chocolate snack that\u2019ll satisfy all of your chocolate cravings! For serious snackers only.<\/p>\n Incredibly addictive and made for anyone with a seriously sweet tooth.<\/p>\n However you pronounce it or whether you put jam or cream on first, scones are a British teatime classic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Not just a snack, chocolate fingers are also a favourite in the baking world, as you can see by the gorgeous cake below!<\/p>\n Basically a mini version of a Swiss roll – what\u2019s not to love?<\/p>\n As a transatlantic girl (half British, half American), I truly get the best of both worlds when it comes to snacks!
