Best, best chocolate bar

I also liked Tiffin bars, Nannina. And Caramac - I can hardly believe I did now. Also Cadbury’s.

I have lost the taste for very sweet things and like Lindt, Green & Black’s and Cocoa Loco.

Don't like milk chocolate at all. I like an occasional 70%+ dark chocolate. It does help lift endorphins a bit.

My mum had a very hard and difficult life. Every day was a struggle her and the only treat she allowed herself was a frys creme bar on a Sunday afternoon that was it no money for alcohol or biscuits or anything other than basic meals. But I will always remember the pleasure she had unwrapping that bar on a Sunday afternoon which she would share with me. Now I'm older have a much better standard of living than mum ever had you will find a pack of 3 Frys creme bars in the fridge at all times! It's a homage to dear old mum. Always be my favourite.

I loved Caramac as a child. Now my favourite is Wispa Gold. I always disliked orange chocolate, also not keen on Hotel Chocolat.

crisps over chocolate. Prefer Walkers. Salt and vinegar or ready salted and definitely Marmite, not keen on other flavours or other brands really. If offered a bar of chocolate or pack of crisps, the crisps would win every time. sometimes tipped into a bowl with stong cheddar cheese cut up , lovely.

Like Big Berthal, Green and Blacks Almond milk chocolate bar. After reading this I will try Aldi's wholenut milk chocolate bar

Cadburys creme eggs, and Cadburys Milk chocolate everytime, also Flakes. Whispa is good too.

I try to avoid chocolate bars but when I wander by the sweet counters I can be tempted by Cadbury's fruit and nut, mint Aero bars, Maltesers and Turkish Delight. Bassets used to make Mint Allsorts amd my brother and I loved them and sent packets to each other when we saw them. Our grown up version of one for me and one for you. You can now get copies but they are disappointingly not like the Bassets. I wish they would bring them back.
I am going to the shops in a minute and will HAVE to have one of my favourites.

Lovely story Hels001. I used to love Double Deckers...But now I admit dark chocolate is my favourite.

I forgot milk chocolate covered ginger. I don't see that anywhere now but can get it online.

I was 6 when sweet rationing ended but I have made up for it since. My favourite chocolate was the 5 boys bar made by Fry's. Now I prefer the good old-fashioned Dairy Milk. My Mum enjoyed a bar of Cadbury's sliced nut when she was alive but I don't see that anymore.

I just about remember the 5 boys bar, I always got the piece with the crying boy! Next I loved Fry's 5 centre bar - each piece had a different fruity flavour. My lastest favourites are the caramel flavour Aero and the new dark Aero. Yum and only £1 in Morrisons. I can no longer cope with the ultra sweet things like raspberry ruffles or Cadbury's creme eggs, but will always need chocolate in my life.

Dark chocolate Bounty Bars ...yummy

Cadbury’s chocolate is a swizz: teeny flat bars, weird taste, nothing like it was before the Americans interfered. No- one has mentioned Toblerone. My favourite but hard to break off pieces with rheumaticky paws.

Dark chocolate Toblerone. Any 85% cocoa dark chocolate.

I used to be puzzled as to why 'the olds' used to fill their trolleys with sweets and chocolates? Did they eat them all themselves? Were they buying for GK? Did they not get sick eating all that sweet sickly stuff?
Answers: addiction.yes self stuffing.no GK don't get look in. Strangely never got sick of sweets!
It's got to be something to do with metabolism or something past55 I'd say? Craving sweets and biscuits!? Weird that's I NEVER had cakes biscuits or crisps etc in the house when we were young! Never ate bread or spuds either!!!?

A-ha!!! Yes! It's true ! The Americans hev destroyed Cadbury s forever? 90%sugar, palm oil(!?!?) Doubt the stuff has even waved at a cocoa bean as it whizzed past? It's revolting, yet another British treasure sold down the river by care-less greedy business , and they believed the yanks when they assured us that no redundancies and Cadbury would stay in UK.....really?........

I have just checked on their website - yes, Cadbury Dairy Milk contains palm oil, it replaced a lot of the cocoa butter - no wonder it doesn't taste the same... shocked to the core by that!

lindt 85% chocolate. Must be dark dark chocolate for me , no milk at all. Ritter peppermint with dark chocolate on it, and one with cranberry, nuts,etc. Used to like black magic but it has gone off these days.

Too many sweet things as a child - mouth full of fillings and crowns. Used to love Marathon and stopped having it when its name changed.

Now I only like dark choccy without lethicins and vanilla. The best cocoa comes from Venezuela but the government of that country have trashed the trade. Dark choccy is full of antioxidants and so is medicinal and you only need a bit to get “the hit”.

Cheap choccy is vile and Cadburys so gluey it sticks your vocal chords together. Hotel Chocolat sometimes has good stuff, as do the online specialists.

(We saw Rich Hall the American comedian some years ago and said how bad American “chocolate” is and they would make Cadburys into s*i# - too true.)

And don’t get me started on Terry’s chocolate orange which turned into fudge. No snap whatsoever.

My favourites have always been Bendick's Bittermints. I see now the Queen has seen sense and joined me.

Texan Bar, long gone. Now it’s a Double Decker.

For those of you who like Caramac try the billionaire Magnums to dir for!

Dark chocolate Bounty bars which are getting very difficult to find

I love the thin outer shell of any Cadbury Easter egg. I mainly go for Cadbury but I am partial to a Yorkie raisin & biscuit chocolate bar and a Magnum Classic ice cream.

They sell packs of Jameson's Raspberry Ruffle bars in Homebargains.

Cadbury salted caramel dark chocolate. Eating it right now! It’s needed given ongoing onslaught of bad news.
And Cheeselets! Last ate then in the 60s. Rediscovered while on newly acquired shopping online gig.
