What is your current and past favourite?

I was really into Fry's Turkish delight once
Crunchies once as a child
Duncan's Walnut whips way back when
Those Lindt balls more recently
Now it's Aldi's milk chocolate hazelnut bars but they are very big, makes for being a total piglet.
Are you going off sweet things as you get older? Sadly, I still love them as much as I always did.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 love any white chocolate. I’m buying the bars in half dozens at the moment. I’ve just tried Ritter white chocolate with hazelnuts, yummy!

When I was a child many many years ago went pony trekking in Wales and stayed in a youth hostel, in the tuck shop they had Triple Bars a layer of plain, milk and white chocolate only place I ever saw them they were yummy. I do like the recently new Cadbury Caramilk.

Dark chocolate Toblerone and caramels covered in dark chocolate. Had to give up the latter as they played havoc with my teeth.

Love white chocolate, especially Milky Bar x

The large size Milky Bar with the big thick chunks, tastes totally different doesn’t it ? Yummy.

Picnic!

Oh my goodness yes, Picnic. I’ve been known to finish one off in two bites !!

Pammie1 Wed 23-Feb-22 12:27:07

My very favourite chocolate bar was Cadburys dark chocolate roasted almond. Sadly I’ve not seen them for quite a while no, so presumably they’re no longer available. I really like the indulgently rum and raisin Old Jamaica too.

To my shame all of the above ?

Yangste1007 Wed 23-Feb-22 12:24:19

I give the white chocolate to my grand children because I don’t like it. They made some homemade rocky road at Christmas, it was lovely. Chocolate with lumps of marshmallow and biscuits. Really bad for you I am sure.

As a child I loved Milky Bars but now find them far too sweet. My favourite now is a Kennedy’s milk chocolate bar, but as this means a drive up to Orton to the factory shop I very rarely get the chance to eat one. It’s probably just as well grin

I always have a treat at the weekend, never on week days. I like Crunchies, Boost bars, Frys peppermint or orange cream bars and Turkish Delights. However I bought a pack 3 of Turkish Delights recently and they were cherry flavoured, not very nice at all.

Mumofmadboys I honestly don’t fancy more than a taste, but as I’ve said on another thread, I’m still plump!

mumofmadboys Wed 23-Feb-22 11:29:45

Cadburys Whole nut is my favourite.
Wish I had your discipline Bluesky!
