I love an awful lot of chocolate bars, some of my favourites include Topic, Picnic & right up the is the Reeses wafer stick things
Yes I know it's not actual chocolate, but that aside the one that makes my tastebuds explode is the humble Crunchie, I normally have at least one bar of something a day, but in lockdown times I have been having one snack size Crunchie a day & it's not enough, I'm still buzzing from the one I had 20 minutes ago, I want another.
What is your chocolate nemesis?
Boost, love the combination of chewy and crunchy, proper mouthful.
Kit Kat Chunky
Starbar
Not a chocolate bar but I can sit there and eat through a large sharing pack of peanut M&Ms in fairly short order.
I tend not to buy them for that very reason!
Dammit, I'm thinking about opening a 200g bag of chocolate raisins now!

To be fair, so can I.
Now started on a bar of Aldi low budget fruit and nut.
Yep whenever the wife is out for the evening I demolish a pack of peanut m and ms. She hasn’t been out for 8 weeks now 😕
Boost.
Yorkie Biscuit and Raisin.
But the crack of the chocolate world is most definitely...
Cherry Ripe
WANT!
Dairy Milk
Cadbury’s big taste peanut caramel crisp
If you know you know
Boost just taste really artificial and bad.
Fridge cold star bars are the bestest.
Ultimate favourite isn't a chocolate bar but an ice cream snickers.
Oooh, those cherry ripe sound like the legendary Cabana
For high-consumption choco-filth though, it was* the mighty Galaxy for me - the king of common chocolate
(*and now I'm T2 diabetic 🙁 )
Lots of good calls here. The peanut M&Ms I have to strictly ration, too moorish.
The Aldi fruit and nut (posher of their two choices) is to die for.
Star Bar and Boost are peas from the same pod. Love them both, don't understand how you could like one and not the other. Weirdo.
Ice cream snickers. Yes!
However, for me a bag of M&S chocolate peanuts and M&S chocolate raisins, mixed together, has me drooling at the thought. Chocolate heaven
Oh, minstrels WITH skittles is was the family bag combo of choice for me
Kit Kat chunky (milk or white)
Drifter
Boost
Lion bar
Mint Aero
Chocolate bars are like films, I can’t pick an absolute favourite, so that’s my top 5.
OMG, Drifter, how did I miss that out of the original list?
You catcha my drift? 😉
However, for me a bag of M&S chocolate peanuts
Forgotten about them....
Cadbury’s Twirl or Galaxy Minstrels, straight from the fridge. Or, when they’re in season, Cadbury’s Cream Egg. Also straight from the fridge.
Strictly low carb these days though, so no chocolate has passed my lips since Easter.
Yes I know it’s not actual chocolate, but that aside the one that makes my tastebuds explode is the humble Crunchie
Funny you should say that. I'm a very dark, bitter chocolate man myself, the more cocoa the better, but I love a Crunchie.
I can't think of any reason why I like Fry's Turkish Delight, but I almost always buy one when I do the supermarket shop and eat it when I get back to the car.
I once read them described as 'A refrigerated human organ dipped in chocolate', which is actually pretty accurate. Still can't help myself though.
I love a bag of caramac buttons, but I fear they've been discontinued. 😕
Big fan of a kit kat chunky, with it without peanut butter. I wish they'd do a dark chunky though.
Flipz are pretty good as well.
And I know this is a biscuit, but I can't stop once the choco liebniz are popped.
Reeses cups are pretty moreish, but my addictions are Snickers and Kit-Kats, regular and chunky.
Double Decker all i need
Think Home Bargains had some Caramac Buttons. But I take no responsibility for the consequences should you find them there.
They are like crack cocaine.
Also, dangerously addictive are the US Peanut Butter M&M's. A cross between the Peanut M&M and a Reese's Cup. Holy moly, they are good. Probably banned in the UK because the NHS couldn't afford the consequences.
Spira was mine but not been available for 16 years so I no longer have a favourite really, I'll munch anything that isn't dark chocolate as that is truly awful!
Or, when they’re in season, Cadbury’s Cream Egg. Also straight from the fridge.
When I was a kid my mum worked for Coca-Cola Schweppes who also owned Cadbury’s. At that time they had a high reject rate on Creme Eggs as they couldn’t get the machine to reliably wrap the packaging so the barcode was visible, no barcode = reject. The rejects used to go to the staff shop. Mum could pick up a carrier bag full, completely full, of eggs for 50p. Happy days
Chocky brazils of any kind, but I think it's Holland and Barrett that do some with thick Belgian chocolate. Nom.
No love for Maltesers?
There are so many;
Frys creme bars
Ruffle bars
M&S Chocolate raisins and peanuts
Cherry Ripe
Violet Crumble (from the fridge)
Kit kat chunky peanut butter flavour, the chocolate crack of my world. Have to say some of the choices above, make my stomach turn (looking at you Stevious), but then it's good as I don't have to fight you for my fix
No love for Maltesers?
None, none at all, fricken waste of good chocolate... unless were talking about the new maltesers buttons, which are joyous.
Yorkie is one step removed from cooking chcoclate 🤮
Yorkie is one step removed from cooking chcoclate
The Greggs baked bean bake of chocolate. Sometimes you just want some mass-manufactured filth.
Anyhow, it's not like there's much refinement in the British confectionary industry?
Crunchie is king hands down
Then maltesesers and peanut m and ms and anything else that comes in the ultimate delivery method that is hand shovelling.
Then all other chocolate.
I love Crunchies but there is one thing I love more than Crunchies and that is vanilla ice cream with Crunchies crumbled up and sprinkled on the top...
Dark Chocolate Bounty
Cadbury Dark Milk
Posh Aldi nutty one
Still waiting for Cadbury to bring back the Fuse bar
Dark Chocolate Bounty
I struggle to put into words how awful I think this to be, and I’m in too good a mood to even try.
Phwoar
Dark chocolate bounty. If you mixed a dark chocolate bounty with the cherry thing above that might top the charts.
I'm with you on crunchie on icecream johndoh but thats a desert.
How they got the crunchie icecream thing so wrong i don't know!
Cadbury’s Giant Buttons. I can demolish a big bag in minutes, if I’m not supervised!
Anyone remember Cadbury’s Fuse? That was awesome.
Ritter Sport Marzipan. Waitrose stock it now.
Aldi plain chocolate and orange fondant. It comes with four bars inside but you cant eat a lot as its a really dry chocolate.
Chocky brazils of any kind, but I think it’s Holland and Barrett that do some with thick Belgian chocolate. Nom
Really? Choccy Brazils are usually the preserve of cinema picnmix where they are let down by the ersatz excuse for chocolate in which they are encased. M&S used to do them but this news of H&B is exciting stuff indeed. I shall pay them a visit forthwith
Time for some more,
Good ol whole nut, straight from the fridge.
Caramac bars I prefer to the buttons, especially if you let it melt slowly in your mouth.
Flake broken up into soft vanilla ice cream
OD'd on it in the past so not much of a fave now, but kinder chocolate.
Mint matchmakers
And a fave of mine when growing up, Mint Bitz bar - how many remember those?
Always loved Double Decker, seem to be the bar that has shrunk the least over the years! Speaking of which, Chunky Kit Kats are far from chunky, they're just slightly plump Kit Kats! What if one of the manufacturers decided to go back to a 70's size bar? I reckon it'd be a winner!
I'd forgotten about Drifter, Ruffle Bar and Fuse! Ta!
Remember Aztec Bar?
Dark Bounty also a favourite!
Anyone else tried American Milky Way? Bit like our Mars Bar but nicer.
Toffee Crisp and Lion Bars are two favourites. Also love posh white chocolate bars - the ones with the tiny flecks of vanilla in them. Recently had a bit of a craving for Fry's Chocolate Cream bars.
A rogue kit kat finger that has slipped through and has no wafer just chocolate, very rare a bit like seeing a red squirrel in Edinburgh but a delicacy
They’re not a chocolate bar, and by all objective standards they are terrible, but I can’t help but love a jam Wagon Wheel.
Lindor bars are good, as are all of grab bag versions of Cadbury’s bars,
JP
Bournville giant buttons, non of that waiting to melt malarkey
Bournville giant buttons, non of that waiting to melt malarkey
Nice, but mostly because they taste nice and actually last longer than the 5 minutes the original dairy milk ones do. so I'm not sure thy count.

My dads aunt used to work at a mcvities* factory. She used to bring back packs of rejects. He take great delight in describing the scientific approach he and his sibling devised to find the biscuitless ones. Comparison of wright to a known correct one or balancing on a finger to find the half biscuits etc.
*Other biscuit companies may have existed in the early 60s
Kitkat chunkies are terrible 4 finger standards are perfection.
Lindt 99% cocoa. Only need one block. Just wonderful and a bar seems to last an age. On top of that the rest of the household don’t touch it, so double win!

I have been buying high %cocoa chocolate on the basis that it's not so easy to eat loads, so I don't gobble it all down immediately. It's only worked up to a point - I just habituated myself to it and now gobble anything up to 80%. The 100% I bought was utterly horrible though. I've heard it said that shit tastes like chocolate. This must be the one they had in mind.
