Yeah, American candy has about the lowest standards. Canada isn't much better, but there's a noticeable difference in the quality of chocolate in common chocolate bars. We once did a side-by-side comparison of KitKats (we live right on the border) and the difference was stunning.

Bad comparison on that one. KitKat brand in the USA is an entirely different company that the rest of the world. So they aren't even the pretending to be the same recipe.

If you like KitKat, try and see if you can find this one:
.
It's similar, but better.

One American candy I actually like is Reeses peanut butter cups.

I try to be as anti-Nestle as possible, which meant giving up KitKat, my favorite candy. I found these a few years ago on norwegianfoodstore.com and they're soooo much better.

Damn, I wish that site existed when I lived abroad.

[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I love this site! I only order from them once a year because it's expensive (I usually ask for a gift card for Christmas), but they have so much awesome stuff. The paprika Pringles are to die for.

My first thought was that this is terrible ai lol.

Well, it could be (I just grabbed it off of an image search), but the product is real and found all over Norway.
