I'm not sure I buy the premise of the title per se, but there is great foreign (as in non-American) candy out there. Not that that's surprising, as great food is everywhere. I've noticed foreign sweets are a great way to encourage kids who might otherwise be averse to novel foods to trying things that are unfamiliar to them. Kids who would probably never try unfamiliar ingredient X will gladly try it if in a candy (I think a related phenomenon are "gross" candy flavors, like vomit-flavored jelly beans).
