Honestly they are not much more different than Hershey. The standard issue is crapy milk chocolate.

Not knocking hershey's or cadburys really. I know hershey has at very least earned its right to be around due to its innovations early on - less than the dutch though.
People over here don't like American chocolate. It took me a while to figure it out but the main difference is American chocolate, as they get over here, is very powdery in texture vs British chocolate which is very creamy. Being a PA gal, I have nostalgia for Hershey (great factory tour there too) but every time I have it I get their point. The normal 'off the store shelf' candy bars are better quality chocolate over here. Cadbury's is very creamy milk chocolate for just normal bars. Though, as far as that level of British chocolate goes I vote for Galaxy over Cadbury's.

For really good chocolates that are better than just a chocolate bar for kids then I go for Dark Belgian chocolates over the rest...mmmmmmmmm
