I'm ready to eat chocolate from New Zealand. - Yes! Yes, I am. You're not getting any. You're a bag.
Hey everyone, Dana here! - And Stefan. And today we're talking about New Zealand. - Why?
Why? Because our friends brought back some candy.
They went to New Zealand a couple of weeks ago, and when they came back they gave us
this little bag here. - Thank you! Yeah. Our friends made this bag. This bag is not from New Zealand.
They made that for us. Thank you so much. But yeah, they brought us back some chocolates.
And Stefan what did you say?
Instead of just eating the chocolates?
Yeah, I said let's make a video. - Yeah. - But you said.
I said this is just some chocolate from New Zealand and we don't know anything really
about this chocolate. But then I had the idea: oh! I know someone who might be able to help us out.
Recently I have been watching the videos from Rosie over on the Youtube channel Not Even French.
She's from New Zealand, but she lives now in France.
And I've really been enjoying her videos.
And so I reached out to her and asked if maybe she could tell us a little bit about the chocolates
that we have. And she agreed.
So we're doing a collaboration with her, and I'm excited to find out what she has to say
about the chocolates before we eat them.
But so, why did you come up with the idea to make this video on camera?
What's special to you about New Zealand?
Yeah, all I wanted since I can remember, I want to go to New Zealand for a trip.
Right when we met I asked you: if you could go anywhere in the world, where would you want to go?
And he was like... - New Zealand. Maybe because it's on the other side of the world.
Or because it has a really awesome landscape. - I remember your answer of why.
I asked you why. Do you remember your answer?
Because, oh yeah, because you can go snowboarding in the morning and go swimming in the afternoon.
Exactly. That was your answer. - I don't even know if it's true but... - That's what you came up with.
I didn't really know just how gorgeous it was until I started watching Not Even French's
videos, and then she has done some vlogging in New Zealand.
And I was like wow! - So when are we going? - Yeah, it's a really long flight, though.
So, should we try the candy? - Yes, I think we should definitely try it.
Salut YouTube. It's Rosie here from the YouTube channel Not Even French.
I'm a Kiwi living in Paris.
And today I'm here to help Dana and Stefan understand a little bit more about the Kiwi
treats that they're eating all the way from New Zealand.
I have to admit I'm kind of glad I'm here in Paris and not with you guys right now in person
because otherwise I would have major food envy.
We would share though. Our first chocolate is... - Peanut Slab.
Ah, the classic New Zealand Peanut Slab by Whittaker's.
Okay, so firstly Whittaker's is a New Zealand chocolate company so it's already the most
adored chocolate company in the whole country.
And then Peanut Slab, I would say, is their star product.
So as you can imagine the favorite chocolate bar from New Zealand's favorite chocolate
company pretty much makes the Peanut Slab New Zealand's favorite chocolate bar.
I think because it is so chunky and you know full of big chunky nuts.
It has quite a manly appearance, a manly feel to it.
And so it's really loved by Kiwi blokes.
So you often see the Peanut Slab getting whipped out at afternoon tea time on building sites,
manufacturing sites, etc.
It's definitely a classic afternoon tea break snack.
So apparently manly and... - It's heavy. - Yeah, it's heavy.
Apparently New Zealand's favorite chocolate bar.
I'm excited to see what we say to the favorite one. Can you open it?
No. Can I use my teeth? - You go ahead and be manly and use your teeth.
Can't even get that open...maybe it needs a woman's touch. - Yes. - You got it all wet!
Oh, it looks really good!
Ah, it looks really, yeah, just - You go first - massive.
Uh-huh. - I would say good solid chocolate. Nice peanuts. Not too salty.
No perfect. It gets 6 kiwis out of 6.
But wait, um, people from New Zealand are called Kiwis.
Then you have the kiwi the bird, and then you have the kiwi the fruit.
So what drawing am I going to make?
Am I going to make a person, the fruit or the bird? - The fruit. The fruit. - Not the bird? - No.
The fruit? - Uh-huh - It's just going to be a brown circle. A brown oval. - Make the cut open one.
Oh I'm going to make a cut open kiwi. Okay.
The next chocolate is called Picnic. - Picnic. - And it's from Cadbury.
The Picnic, what an absolute family favorite in New Zealand.
Yet again it's another nut and chocolate based bar.
We really do like smashing those two together, don't we?
The Picnic is just quite simply a classic, a household favorite, and whenever you're
sharing a variety box of chocolates, you know when you've got a selection of lots of different
flavors, the Picnic is always the first to go in any household.
See if I can open it this time. - Uh-huh. - There we go.
Let me. Oh, come on! - I know that taste. - I understand why that's first to go. That's really good.
In Germany there's something similar. - What? - A Lion. - I don't think I've even seen that.
This is great with the wafer. - Yeah. - The wafer really makes this.
That gets for me two American thumbs up again. But you're rating kiwis. - 5.5 kiwis out of 6.
The chocolate is a little bit too sweet for me.
Caramello.
Oh! Caramello! My favorite. Okay, so Cadbury itself is a UK based chocolate company.
But don't be fooled.
I went to London myself in search of Cadbury Caramello and what I ended up finding was
this Cadbury Caramel.
Which is obviously way less fun.
Anyway, I cracked into the chocolate block, and I can confirm 100% the recipes do not
taste the same.
New Zealand Caramello is a lot sweeter and a lot gooeyer.
So if you want the real deal, you're going to have to go all the way to New Zealand.
The similar product in the UK was not the same. - We know about that. - We know about that.
We made a video about that with things from the U.S. - It's linked up there.
I thought it was on this side. - No, it's this side. - The I is on this side? - Yes. - Are you sure?
No, the I is on this side. - I got it! - It's complicated, it's complicated.
And every time that he's on the other side of the camera and I struggle with it.
It's super simple, Dana! The I is there. - He says that to me. - I said the whole time the I is there.
Okay so she said this is her favorite. So I'm excited. Let's try it. Cheers! - Cheers.
See difference. Eating whole. But look, now you can see the caramel really can just ooze right out.
Oh my gosh that really good caramel.
It's too sweet for you. - Uh-huh. - It's the right amount of sweet for me. - It's really sweet. - It's really sweet.
It gets 5 out of 6 kiwis.
Just a side note, I would say that in general New Zealander's favorite flavors do tend to be caramel
and chocolate or nuts and chocolate.
Those are huge in New Zealand.
Maybe with a third runner up of mint chocolate.
Last chocolate! - I wanted to do it. I want to say it. Last chocolate. - Oh okay.
Last chocolate! Marvelous Creations.
Yeah, I'm really curious about this one.
Welcome to the world of Marvelous Creations.
New Zealanders definitely have a thing with smashing some really random things together
and making a chocolate bar out of it.
We've got corn flakes and chocolate; ice cream flavors and chocolate; give us anything, jelly
beans, kiwi fruit, we'll smash it together, we'll make a chocolate bar out of it.
And the Marvelous Creations definitely speaks to this.
The Marvelous Creations range is really about putting random sweets, lollies, candies, whatever
you want to call them, surprising flavors, things that crackle, pop, things that are
sour, for example, and putting them into a chocolate bar.
You know, in New Zealand there's currently a rumor that we may even bring out Marmite chocolate.
How gross would that be?
Anyways, this bar is just yet another attempt of kind of putting some random things together,
and it kind of working.
Two things, two things before we launch into this.
Number one: did she say ice cream flavored chocolate? - Uh-huh. - New Zealand!
Number two: I've heard of Marmite.
I have never had it.
Do you know what it is?
It's, people try it on YouTube all the time. There's so many... - It's something to spread.
It's something to spread and people try it on YouTube all the time.
I've never had it. - No. - Back to the regularly scheduled content. - I'm so excited to try this.
No way! Look! Look! There's already something...
What?
There's chewing gum or something. - Why would there be chewing gum in chocolate? - Oh, jelly bean.
That's a jelly bean. It's not chewing gum. I'm going through all sorts of ups and downs.
Uh-huh. It's good, that works. - But...
You're prickling. But I didn't get any.
Yes, I hear it. I don't feel it either. Just hear it.
It's works. - I'm not as convinced as you are. - 6 out of 6 kiwis.
I really appreciate the creativity that went into that chocolate bar.
For me is was a little bit weird having chewy jelly beans in my chocolate.
No perfect. Perfect combination. - So you thought it was perfect. - 6 out of 6.
Yay! - Thank you so much to our friends who brought back these chocolates for us.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. And thank you so much to Rosie - Thank you. - from
Not Even French.
We also sent Rosie some sweets, some chocolates, candies from Germany and sent her some clips
where we explained a little bit about what they are.
So you can head on over to her channel Not Even French.
I'll put links down below.
And check that video out as well.
Yeah, I'm really excited that we did this little collaboration together. That was cool.
So our question for you is: Have you ever tried any snacks from New Zealand?
What should we do when we go to New Zealand?
I'm so excited. - Is there a country that you always wanted to go to but never had the chance to go to yet?
