I asked Howie, the store manager, to share <strong>their top five candy bestsellers<\/strong>.\u00a0 Since Halloween is right around the corner, I thought that I would share his picks again\u2026especially since they are having some Halloween-themed specials!\u00a0 Without further ado, they are\u2026\n<p><strong>1. Maynard wine gums <\/strong>\u2013 There is no wine in the candy. Rather, it\u2019s a British version of gummy candies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Crunchie bar<\/strong> \u2013 This chocolate bar is similar to the texture (not taste) of a Butterfinger, but it is lighter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. 70% Dark Chocolate Kit Kat<\/strong> \u2013 Initially, they were 65%, but were changed to a higher percentage of chocolate. They constantly sell out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Curly Wurly<\/strong> \u2013 These lattice-shaped chocolate and caramel candies are delicious. (I sampled one.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Flake<\/strong> \u2013 Howie described this as the \u201cgateway\u201d candy for Americans to start eating British candies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Smarties<\/strong> \u2013 Don\u2019t confuse the British smarties with the American ones. Rather, they are chocolate. They are like M&amp;Ms but each one tastes different. Fruit and vegetable concentrates are also used for coloring instead of artificial ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, there was a tie for #5. Howie also shared two honorable mentions:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Turkish Delight <\/strong>\u2013 British customers love this candy. Also, this candy is apparently mentioned in The Chronicles of Narnia, because many of the book\/movie fans come in asking for it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Minstrels<\/strong> \u2013 These candies are also like M&amp;Ms, but they have a thicker shell. (You can microwave them for a few seconds \u2013 the shell will remain crisp, while the chocolate inside melts a bit.)<\/p>\n<p>Just in case you need more treat options, you can look at various sweet (and salty \u2013 my preference!) options that I photographed at their launch event. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><\/p><center><object width=\"500\" height=\"375\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"offsite=true&amp;lang=en-us&amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fnycmominthecity%2Fsets%2F72157627021193848%2Fshow%2F&amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fnycmominthecity%2Fsets%2F72157627021193848%2F&amp;set_id=72157627021193848&amp;jump_to=\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=107931\"><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\"><embed width=\"500\" height=\"375\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/slideshow\/show.swf?v=107931\" flashvars=\"offsite=true&amp;lang=en-us&amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fnycmominthecity%2Fsets%2F72157627021193848%2Fshow%2F&amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fnycmominthecity%2Fsets%2F72157627021193848%2F&amp;set_id=72157627021193848&amp;jump_to=\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/object><center><\/center><\/center><strong>The London Candy Company<br>\n<\/strong>1442 Lexington Avenue<br>\nNew York, NY 10128<br>\n(212) 427-2129<br>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelondoncandycompany.com\/\">www.thelondoncandycompany.com<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelondoncandycompany.com\/\"><br>\n<\/a>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in June, I attended an event hosted by The London Candy Company, a British-themed candy shop that opened in NYC earlier this year.\u00a0 Since it has already become a favorite of British candy lovers.
