What is the American equivalent of a daim bar? ›

The closest equivalent to a Diam is probaly a Skor bar. Otherwise a Heath bar could also be used, though this is advertised as English toffee rather than butter caramel. Neither of these bars contain almonds.

Ingredients. MILK**, sugar, cocoa butter, vegetable fats (palm, shea, coconut), cocoa mass, blanched ALMONDS (1%), sweetened condensed skimmed MILK, emulsifiers (E442, E476, SOYA lecithins), salt, whey powder (from MILK), skimmed MILK powder, MILK fat, whey permeate powder (from MILK), flavourings.

First off, a quick explanation: Daim Bar was originally called Dajm bar when launched in its native Sweden in the 1950s, and was renamed Dime bar for the British market until 2005! It's now known universally as Daim. Phew. Thankfully, the product itself remains unchanged…

Last year IKEA revealed that it would stop selling Daim bars which were a staple for many shoppers. The Swedish furniture giant said it would stop selling things made by Mondelez, the company that makes Cadbury chocolate which includes Daim.

Skor bars are what you will find in America while Daim is what you'll find in Scandinavia (or Scandi outposts like Ikea). They're ridiculously addictive but all I could think is what these would be like if you used real Belgian chocolate and added the crunch of roasted almonds. And you know what?

Since the early 2000s, McDonald's McFlurry is available with Daim in France. Daim is sold in IKEAs in Australia, Austria, Serbia, Canada, the US, France, Republic of Ireland, the UK, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Bulgaria, the Netherlands, the Philippines and the United Arab Emirates.

If you can't get Daim bars where you are, Skor and Heath are good substitutes. If you don't have Daim balls, use mini Daims or chop up an extra bar of normal Daim.

When it was launched in the UK and Ireland in the 1990s, it was marketed as “Dime” – and pronounced that way, too. However, in 2005, the bar's name was changed “Daim” in line with the rest of the world – which is pronounced “Dame”.

penny, type of candy.

It is called Twix worldwide. The original name for the product originated in Mars UK in SLough. The version elsewhere in the world used to be called Raider but this was standardised to Twix many years ago.

Why are Twix called Twix? ›

The name is a portmanteau of "twin sticks". Twix was called Raider in mainland Europe for many years before its name was changed in 1991 (2000 in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Turkey) to match the international brand name.

Snickers was introduced by Mars in 1930 and named after the Mars family's favorite horse. Initially marketed as "Marathon" in the UK and Ireland, its name was changed to Snickers in 1990 to align with the global brand, differentiating it from an unrelated US product also named Marathon.

Daim was developed from the American Heath bar, which was released in 1928. Hershey's Skor bar is similar to Daim and Heath bars. (As for why Hershey makes two bars that are almost the same, it's because they made Skor as a competitor to Health before buying the company that made Heath.)

Furniture giant Ikea has said that it plans to phase out products owned by Mondelez, the company behind Cadbury's, amid a boycott across much of Scandinavia of the confectionary-maker's products. Ikea said that the decision was taken as it tries to replace some of what it sells with its own-brand products.

IKEA told us its Daim and Marabou products have 'been phased out since September 2023 and won't be replaced once current stocks run out'.

A similar candy bar to Daim bars is the Heath bar. Both Daim and Heath bars feature a combination of toffee or caramel covered in chocolate. While there may be slight differences in flavor and texture, if you enjoy one, there's a good chance you'll find the other appealing as well.

So, it's no surprise that, for years now, Snickers has been the most popular candy bar in the United States -- and in the world. This isn't being said hyperbolically, either.
