Any dark chocolate,M n S Belguim Truffles,Almost any Cadbury`s,not a lover of Mars bars,love all Ferrero`s.

Chocolate gingers, though I don't think they come as a bar. I could scoff a whole box at a sitting. So it's a good thing that Chrismas comes only once a year.

Thorntons do a dark chocolate ginger bar - the filling is like a ginger truffle. It has defined pieces like a fry’s chocolate cream. They don’t last long in our house !!

I used to love Fry's Five Boys and that bar that was different Cadbury's Milk Tray.
Now I live Fry's Chocolate Cream, Fry's Peppermint Cream and Bounty.

Wow, I remember the Five Boys - it was essentially a Fry’s chocolate cream bar with five different fillings. Does anyone remember the original dark chocolate raspberry ruffle sweets ? Some supermarkets do their own versions of them now, but somehow they don’t taste the same, and they’re a lot smaller.

Then Mars bars and malt teasers. Now Charbonnel and Walker champagne truffles.But the best is from our local Choclataire only for high days and holidays.

Yes Pammie . You can still buy them online. If I see Ruffle bars in the supermarket, I buy them. Delicious.

My first employer was Cadburys in Bournville. I ended up in the quality control department where I had a chance to join tasting panels. There was an interesting occasion when some Creme Eggs had to be returned from storage in a railway siding because they'd started to burst. Wish I could remember what caused them to explode ..

I'm partial to Bendicks Bittermints. Very sweet mint fondant coated in bitter dark chocolate. I enjoy trying to nibble off the chocolate leaving the fondant untouched ... sad, I know.

Just found them - Spurred on by the thought of chocolate I must have set some sort of world speed record for googling there Kate1949 !! Thank you.

I don't know about a 'sweet tooth', I have 'sweet teeth'! I love cake and chocolate. At the moment I seem to eat a lot of 'Milka' chocolate.

Oh and chocolate orange!!

I remember when I was about 9 or 10, our local sweet shop started selling something called Gaiety Assortment. They had previously only been available as large expensive chocolate boxes, but they started selling them by the quarter from big glass jars into paper bags. They were sublime.

I used go love Nutty bars. They were a stick of fudge/caramel type of thing covered in peanuts. Used to buy them on my way home from school in the 70s. None of my friends were that keen on them but I loved them.

I love a plain chocolate Bounty - the one with the red wrapper - far nicer than the milk chocolate version. Sadly, they are quite hard to find in the shops. Even more upsetting is the fact that I'm meant to be on a diet and only allow myself one Cadbury Freddo bar a week.

Whenever I do an internet shop from Tesco, I get dark chocolate Bounties as it’s the only place I can ever manage to find them. I think the sweetness of the coconut is a bit cloying with milk chocolate - the dark chocolate balances it better somehow. I want one now !!

This always has been, and remains, my ‘luxury’ chocolate: www.cadbury.co.uk/products/frys-chocolate-cream-11326

Dark chocolate Bounty, dark choc rum & raisin, Lindt dark sea salt. Always dark apart from walnut whirls ( the original ones).

I used to love a Reeces NutRageous bar but unfortunately I have developed gallstones. Chocolate seems to be a trigger so, no more chocolates for me.
My favourite as a child was a Fry's peppermint cream.

Someone mentioned raspberry ruffles. Amazon do the very ones that I used to buy in British Home Stores, Reading ‘pick and mix’ in the 1970s.

I went to school in Redditch, Worcestershire. One of my school friends arranged for us to visit Cadburys on a tour they used to do. It was a big adventure as we went on our own, I think we went on the bus, we must have been about 12. I remember touring round the different lines and being given some samples as we went. We were then taken to see a film on how chocolate was made and as we left we were given a tin with some chocolate inside. When we had eaten the chocolate we used the tin to keep our school pens and pencils in. It is one of my happy memories from childhood.

Lindt Extra Creamy is my fave atm. I always have two squares after dinner with a cuppa. Also like Aldi's chocolate that comes in individual little bars so you don't over indulge. Agree Cadbury's chocolate is not as good as it used to be.

I quite like Hotel Chocolat Batons, but my favourite is JD Gross 85% dark chocolate which I buy at Lidl.

I used to love Cadbury Boost.

That was me, thank you. Going over to Amazon now to take a look. I can feel my waistline expanding as I type !!

Try 70% cocoa high quality dark chocolate - just a couple of square to satisfy the choccy craving. I couldn’t eat ordinary milk chocolate when I developed gallstones because of the fat content, but a good dark chocolate didn’t affect me.

Picnic bar
Lindt hazelnut milk
Ferrero Rocher (Naff but nice. Ambassador's party anyone?)
Caramac
Twix

Oh my goodness maddyone, I've never come across anyone else who knows what I'm talking about when i wax lyrical over Leonidas chocolates (especially the white marons). I used to work in London as a nanny in the 80's and on my day off i would take a trip to Selfridges or Harrods and buy a small box and then proceed to demolish them. I did try to ration them out but it never worked for me, they were irresistible.
