There’s something truly special about British snacks – the perfect mix of nostalgia, indulgence, and bold flavours. While the full fry up for breakfast and Sunday roast may steal the limelight, Britain’s snack game is just as strong. And guess what? We know our American friends can’t get enough of them!
Here’s a rundown of 10 British snacks that have made their way across the pond and into the hearts (and stomachs) of snack lovers in the USA.
1. Walkers Prawn Cocktail Crisps
Crisps are a staple in British snack cupboards, and Walkers leads the way. The tangy, slightly sweet flavour of prawn cocktail crisps is a taste sensation that’s unlike anything else. While Americans have their fair share of unique chip flavours, this British classic is a must-try.
2. Jammie Dodgers
Biscuit lovers, rejoice! Jammie Dodgers are a delightful combination of crumbly shortbread and sweet, fruity jam. They’ve been a staple of British childhoods for generations, and now Americans are discovering their charm.
3. After Eight Mints
There’s chocolate, and then there’s British chocolate. After Eight Mints are a sophisticated treat, combining smooth dark chocolate with a refreshing mint fondant centre. Perfect for an after-dinner indulgence!
4. Monster Munch
These quirky, crunchy corn snacks shaped like little monster feet are a British classic. Pickled Onion flavour is a fan favourite – sharp, tangy, and totally addictive.
5. Jelly Babies
These soft, chewy, fruit-flavoured sweets are a British institution. With their unique shape and sugar-dusted exterior, Jelly Babies are a nostalgic treat that has stood the test of time.
6. Jaffa Cakes
Are they a biscuit or a cake? The debate rages on, but one thing is certain – Jaffa Cakes are delicious. A light sponge base, zesty orange jelly, and a layer of smooth chocolate make them utterly irresistible.
7. Bourbon Creams
Americans have Oreos, but Britain has Bourbon Creams. These chocolate sandwich biscuits with a rich cocoa filling are a tea-time essential. Dunk them in a cuppa, and you’ll never look back.
8. Hula Hoops
Crispy, crunchy, and downright moreish, Hula Hoops are ring-shaped potato snacks that have been a British lunchbox staple for decades. The salt & vinegar flavour is a game-changer!
9. Polo Mints
The ‘mint with the hole’ is as iconic as they come. Whether you need a refreshing pick-me-up or just fancy something sweet, Polo Mints have been a go-to for Brits for generations.
10. Smarties
Think of Smarties as the UK’s answer to M&Ms – but better (in our humble opinion). These colourful, candy-coated chocolate bites have been a British favourite since 1937, and their smooth, creamy taste keeps them timeless.
