Yankee Candy Cave

All things American all in the name of ‘candy’ on the middle mall Debenhams end :-)
Only a small stall but a nice selection of candy to make you smile.
Its always nice to have a treat and this stall has plenty with a few not seen before yummies too.
Today at last I got a packet of Peanut Butter M&Ms as recommended by Desta H and I’m looking forward to trying them (^_​^).
Noticed a few things I need to try esspecially #TAB (brings back memories from the 70’s)
I brought my son a Million Dollar Bar Chocolate — I would recommend this, I only had 2 squares and it was luxuriously creamy — scrummy. At £2.50 a bar, as a treat I’d say go for it :-)

Expensive candy is on the up, just like expensive cupcakes and petrol.
So if you got the stacks to pay a tenner for lucky charm cereal your doing pretty well anyway.
Though the stall is small and almost not even in the bullring, the profit they make here must be massive. Maybe they will earn enough to actually buy the Bullring and fill it full of american owned shops and kick the british ones into a smaller cheaper indoor market down the road.
Oh wait.
Lots of well known brands, pay a fiver for some angry bird candies if your into that sort of thing.

It’s the pun that got me here, but it’s the sweets that keep me coming back.
As the name suggests this place’s sole agenda is to sell us Brummies the finest confectionary from the US of A. Whilst Birmingham has done so much for English chocolate already, it’s hard not to feel like rationing is still on when you look at all the exotic and gawdy wrappings and packaging from the American brands. Our British sweeties feel a bit bland in comparison.
As Yankees is also essentially a little cart, the shop further taps into a neat sense of by-​gone Americana. It feels like a tornado has picked this place up from the Magic Kingdom and dropped it here. I fully expect to hear a barbershop quartet start up as I nibble, suck and chew.
Just a reminder that Yankees also does American crisps and pop — just in case you want to give your sweet tooth a day off. So, all in all, this is the place that makes us jealous of America consumerism again, I wouldn’t be surprised if they also stock the nylons and tobacco I can’t find.

Yankee Doodle Candy is a small, fruit cart style vendor based in the Bullring shopping centre, between Debenhams and Gap.
They basically sell a selection of sweets and chocolates from the USA, similar to what you’d find at Cyber Candy or Selfridges food hall and in a similar price bracket.
YDC is no better or worse than Cyber Candy or Selfridges, it’s simply another, smaller option between the two should you fancy grabbing something as you pass.
They sell Lucky Charms at £7.50, Pop Tarts at about £4.50, Angry Birds Fruit Gummies, chocolate covered cookie dough balls in many flavours (including peanut butter!) and lots more. Prices range from about £1.50 for bars such as Almond Snickers up to the ridiculous for cult cereal snacks.
