Ingredients: "Hokey Pokey"

So we Americans usually hear the phrase "Hokey Pokey" and see a bizaar little dance in our heads, here New Zealanders know the term as an iconic candy that is somewhat native to the area. When Emrys asked a convenience store clerk for a description she replied "It's like, you know, hokey pokey!" I really didn't care what it was because it seemed, according to Cadbury's description on the label to be covered in chocolate. I found it to be very similar to that sugary sweet that we Americans call "divinity" around the holidays-you know the stuff- spun up sugar that you can feel going straight to the roots of your teeth as soon as you take a bite. Regardless- the candybar was great and sated the sweet tooth that was running out of control!
