Epcot - Candy in each country

[jecskc]

We have a trip coming up soon and my kids were saying they wanted to buy some candy in each country. I have seen posts about this in the past, but I can't find them now. Can you all give me some input on the best candy items in each country??

What a fun idea. My now adult son used to get candy at the countries.. I don't recall too many specifics but some grape flavored hard candy in Japan ( there's lots of choices) and chocolate in Germany .. we used to get gelato in Italy... and I don't recall a specific candy area ( too busy shopping perfume).
There really are quite a few options at each as far as I recall so exploring the types is an added bonus!
Enjoy!

The caramel shop in Germany is the best! So many delicious treats

Japan has some of my favorites,but the UK and Germany have some good options.

Maple syrup popcorn in Canada. I buy bags and eat them on flight back home from Disney.

No suggestions, but I love this idea! Something fun to do going around world showcase, and universally liked by my 4 year old as well as the 13 year old.

In Norway I believe you can get individually wrapped Swedish fish. although swedish fish are something that I've had many times before, I had never seen them wrapped like that Cheap too!

My daughter and I do this every trip- while my husband "drinks" around the world. Our favorites in each country:

Canada- Maple Sugar- 5 maple leaves in each box
UK- Cadbury Curly Wurly, Crunchie and dairy milk caramel, Tavener's licorice allsorts
France- Maxims de paris candy squares- white, milk and dark
Morocco- turkish delights with almonds
japan- anything gummy and pocky, we especially love the sushi shaped gummys and tiny lollipops
Germany- toffifay, harobro gummy bears, and EVERYTHING in Karamell Kuche!
Italy- you can get individual pieces of chocolate here- we stock up and one of everything!
China- shocking poppin candy
Norway- Kex chocolate bar
mexico- chocolate con leche bars

PS - I like to drink, too - haha

I saw on that DFB article that the Norway pavilion had licorice coins. Does anyone know if they have a variety of licorice? And is it like the salty licorice that can be found in the Netherlands and Denmark? (I don't normally like licorice much, but I've seen a few travel shows where they feature salty licorice and I'd like to try some.)

Also, does the Canada pavilion have many Canadian-made candies (the DFB article said they have a lot from the U.K.) that AREN'T maple? I LOATHE maple flavor.

Someone above mentioned maple leaf candies in Canada. And if you look in the photos from the DFB article - the one with the licorice coins - there are some salty licorice fish off to the left. I adore licorice, so I might try these.

Karamell Kuche! Thats the caramel store in Germany so good.

Tips:
- you can ask for their candy apples to be cut. They will cut them into 4 and put it into a nice plastic container. Much easier for sharing!

- their caramel corn, made from werthers, is the best ive ever had. Amazing.

I didn't notice the licorice fish. I'll have to remember to look for them when we're at wdw in July.

Prob just a misread, but I was asking about non-maple candies. I can't think of a worse flavor than maple.

Ah - I see. I love maple and licorice.

A lot of a the Cadbury products might be duplicates in Canada and the U.K. but that may be partly because the company operates in both countries but its cheaper for disney to just import them from one or the other. All the chocolate bars mentioned above as being from the U.K. I can get here in Canada made in country.

Also to be completely fair 'maple flavored' and 'made from or with maple syrup' are two very different things and taste very different... but I can see how not liking one would mean not liking either. I can't remember any other Canadian candies in the shops - it's not where I spend too much time as I can buy them at home.

Real maple is the worst, but I also can't stomach fake maple flavor.

Fair enough: replace "maple" with "banana" and I'm right there with you!
