About This Quiz

In jolly old England, Dairy Milk-maker Cadbury was selling drinking chocolate to eager fans of sweet treats as early as 1824; famous for its creamy truffles, Swiss candy-maker Lindt started selling chocolate confections in 1845; across the Atlantic in the United States, Milton Hershey founded the Lancaster Caramel Company in Pennsylvania way back in the 1880s.  Meanwhile, Australia was not much more than a handful of separate British colonies that grew out of what was initially a penal colony. It wasn't until 1901 that Australia even became a nation, gaining independence from Great Britain and uniting as federation all its own. 

Yet in not much more than a century, Australia has managed to become one of the strongest economies on Earth. Its remote location in the South Pacific means the nation has developed a unique culture all its own, with rich traditions, an enviable accent and yes, great food, including snacks and sweets. You'll not only find chocolate bars, of the likes of Snickers or Milky Way in the States, but Aussies also enjoy chowing down on some less-familiar classics, including gummies, sherbets and plenty of caramel treats. Think you can name these candies enjoyed from Perth to Brisbane and everyone in between? Prove your Aussie candy IQ with this quiz!
