Exactly my thoughts!

Are Smarties in Canada the same as the US or are they like British Smarties that are basically just M&Ms?

[–] MapleEngineer 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

They're like M&Ms but with better, milkier chocolate.

[–] MrJameGumb 2 points 3 months ago

That sounds awesome! I'll have to try and find some here!

better, milkier chocolate

That is subjective :) My Dad prefers Smarties; my Mom prefers M&Ms.

[–] MapleEngineer 1 points 3 months ago

Your dad is a wise man.

The latter, they specified in a prior post.

[–] MrJameGumb 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's good. The Smarties here aren't great lol

[–] Pronell 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I actually love Smarties, but in ice cream? Noooo.

[–] MapleEngineer 5 points 3 months ago

We call them Rockets in Canada. I love them but not in ice cream.

[–] MrJameGumb 4 points 3 months ago

Someone else must love US Smarties a lot too, they just downvoted all my comments lol imagine getting so upset about Smarties 🤣

Oh my goodness why did I never think of York peppermint patties in ice cream. Oh goodness!

[–] MapleEngineer 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's very nice. I use the mini ones and chop them into about 30 pieces (5 cuts in one direction then turn and 4 cuts in the other.). I use a bunch of icing sugar to keep the pieces from sticking together. The pieces are nice and chewy but melt very quickly in your mouth. You should give it a try.

I'll have to try it once I'm done with the ice cream that's still in my freezer! :D
