Crunchie is better, but VC is easier to find. I like to suck on them, until they get all weird and gooey.
Of course, I also eat Big Turk willingly, so take all this with a grain of crack.
I don't like vampires. I'm gonna take a stand and say they're not good.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

t Super Porny Pants is pleased to hear this... but isn't sure if we needed to know the nickname for "little Paul"

Trudy, Violet Crumble,
This one's like a great big Crunchie except the bubbles inside are much finer and more brittle. However its not violet and it doesn't taste of violets ...
This is the gourmet version of the native Crunchie bar. Unlike a crunchie, which simply dissolves as you crunch, violet crumble is crunchy, THEN chewy, and overall Yummy! The chocolate tastes very slightly coffee-like, but not so much that if you don’t like coffee you wouldn’t like this.
... the name Violet Crumble actually comes from the original founders wife. Albert Hoadly (Hoadley's Violet Crumble) Violet was the name of Alberts wife. The product will be 80 years old in 2003Basically Violet Crumble crunches, and Crunchie crumbles!

t Super Porny Pants eyes Am-Chau appreciatively and ponders the advantages of a side-kick...
So, Violet Crumble is the Apple Jacks of Oceana?

Apple Jacks are a cereal that don't taste like apples or, presumably, that Kennedy boy who was president.

For some reason, I find this answer disappointing. It could just be that I'm still short of caffeine.

For any NYCers who are curious about deep fried Mars Bar: you can get them at A Salt and Battery, the British Fish & Chip place down on Greenwich Avenue, and I see they've opened a second place in the East Village. We didn't actually try the d.f.M.B. (though while we were there some disbelieving New Yorkers came by to do just that), but the fish & chips were very good, almost up to Brit quality.
Crunchies were always a bit too sticky for my liking, but that never really stopped me eating 'em.

nougat and caramel and almonds surrounded by milk chocolate = US Snickers With Almonds = UK (etc.) Mars Bar With Almonds
Never seen that in the UK. Sounds vaguely like the Snickers Crunch, which appeared for a while last year. All your UK confectionary questions are answered here: [link]
