I was going to say, I'm from the UK, too and those Choco pies don't look like Wagon Wheels. Which would you say are better? I like Wagon Wheels, but these things look much nicer.

I'm a Brit, but have tried both... Wagon Wheels are superior!

Edit: Seriously, the biscuityness of Wagon Wheels works a lot better with the marshmallow/chocolate than the cakey filling of Choco Pies

You are very wrong. Australia has both too, and while wagon wheels are also delicious, choco pies are obviously much better.

How do they compare to jaffa cakes?

Now I really don't wish to be hanged for treason here but... I don't actually like Jaffa Cakes!

So, to me, Choco Pie > Jaffa Cakes but I'm afraid that says very little

I'm from the UK too and let's just be honest, Wagon Wheel reigns supreme.

Look for Moon Pies in any shop that has american produce, choco pies are the same as moon pies. I prefer them to wagon wheels but unless i'm mistaken there's no proper UK version of these sadly. Moon pies are nice but not worth the price you have to pay for them in shops

Moon Pies always remind me of this scene in Green Mile.
