Selfridges is selling Credit Crunch Chocolate.
‘Credit Crunch’ is a more-ish marriage of the very best velvet-rich Valrhona chocolate, thickly coated over hokey pokey honeycomb pieces. It is available covered either in dark or milk Valrhona chocolate (£3.99 for a 150g bag). This delicious chocolate treat is hand made at The Chocolate Society’s west London kitchens by its team of expert chocolatiers. The Chocolate Society proprietor and food writer Kevin Gould adds: “The ‘Credit Crunch’ treat we have created exclusively for Selfridges is good news for chocolate lovers and doom-sayers alike.
(I suppose ‘hokey pokey’ means something in the USA?)

As an American the first thing that comes to mind when I hear “hokey pokey” is the dance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E5F2iDg0FU), but apparently it is a kind of ice cream with pieces of honeycomb or toffee in it… (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokey_pokey_ice_cream)
Yes, apparently Antipodean, not USA.
In my part of the world, the dance is ‘hokey cokey’, but I’ve seen this before (also on Wikipedia).
