The best chocolate candy we wish would come to the US

People all over the world have their favorite chocolate candies — but, unfortunately, they're not always easy to find in the US.
From wafer-filled delights like Maltesers to Israel's Elite chocolate with pop rocks, candy makers get creative in every corner of the world.
The UK, specifically, has many chocolate confections to offer that aren't readily available in the US.

America has some good desserts , but when it comes to chocolate candy , other countries are definitely giving the US a run for its money.

From Aero to TUNNOCK'S Tea Cakes, read on to see the best chocolate candy we wish was available all over the US.

Maltesers have been a UK favorite for decades.

Not to be confused with the American sweet and sour classic , the long-beloved UK version of Smarties is reminiscent of an American M&M: small, round chocolates covered in hard, bright-colored shells. They're available in eight colors: red, orange, blue, green, yellow, pink, violet, and brown.
