Best, best chocolate bar

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.

another vote here for milk-chocolate Bounty - yum!

Mine is and always has been Cadbury’s Plain Chocolate. But I only eat one square of it a day!

I love plain chocolate, especially wrapped around marzipan! Fry’s chocolate creams have always been a favourite and a few years ago Mars did a plain chocolate Mars Bar. Delicious. Also I have recently discovered an independent chocolate bar producer in Cambridge. She was mentioned in the Observer magazine. Expensive but worth it.

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.

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.

Since I got older I have gone off most bought cakes, biscuits, and sweets but I do like sugar in my coffee, and I like Mackie's ice cream and Tesco trifle. Never liked beer or spirits.

There are so many chocolates I’ve loved over the years. Malteesers, caramac, crunchie and any white chocolate. In later years loved the red Lindt balls. Then had my wings clipped when diagnosed with coeliac disease so those red Lindt balls were a no no. But the white ones are ok for me but if I buy them I’ll eat the lot so I tend to stick to savoury now. Really miss Malteesers though. I’m a marshmallow lover. I can eat the whole bag yum and dip them in melted galaxy chocolate and all bets are off.

My favourite would have to be a Bounty, or Cadbury whole nut choc (daren’t buy that as it would be gone in a flash!!!)

Helen657 Wed 23-Feb-22 09:00:16

Just read this thread, & now I want marshmallows, coconut ice & a Bounty Bar for breakfast ☹️

Don’t eat much chocolate, as once started can’t stop. Favourite is Duffys Chocolate, hand made locally, can buy on line as well and it really is chocolate, so you only need a little. Raspberry and cherry flavours my preferred ones. Otherwise anything with caramel in caramel .

Anything by Cadburys although somewhat ruined since Kraft got their hands on it. Not as bad as American chocolate when I first tasted a Hershey bar over there it was a definite eergh! moment shock None of the posh high cocoa content either for me, I like my chocolate unacceptably bog standard.

We are all Cadbury children. Three generations of chocoholics in my family all raised on Cadbury. So a bar of Cadbury is still my favourite, although my latest craze are Whispas.

AGAA4 Wed 23-Feb-22 08:40:23

My favourite is Lindt dark chocolate with hazelnuts.

I used to like double deckers but too sweet for me now.

Hetty58 Wed 23-Feb-22 08:16:38

We'd always have a big box of marzipan fruits - not to be eaten until Christmas day. I'd be obsessed with them - looking through that cellophane window, checking and waiting for them. To hell with all the preparations, treats and presents, I just yearned to get my little hands in there!

nanna8 Wed 23-Feb-22 08:12:45

Ohh, I might just have to go and get some choc after reading these. Not that I am addicted or anything…..

Sarnia Wed 23-Feb-22 08:08:21

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.

Maggiemaybe Wed 23-Feb-22 08:02:45

Then as now, anything with marzipan in, but particularly the Niederegger flavoured ones. And I don’t like the Cadburys creme eggs half as much as I used to, but a 5 pack still managed to fall into my trolley yesterday.

Sara1954 Wed 23-Feb-22 07:58:28

Not quite such a sweet tooth as I used to have, but I popped into the garage yesterday and grabbed a Boost because I was starving, never had one before. It was really good I will probably have to have another one.
For me though, it has to be Cadburys chocolate, whole nut preferably.

Curlywhirly Wed 23-Feb-22 07:49:36

Aldi's dark chocolate hazelnut bars - huge block, but it lasts me ages.

TillyTrotter Wed 23-Feb-22 07:25:07

DH is mad on Caramac too. There is a new Cadbury’s Caramilk , but he says ‘it’s not the same’.
My favourite used to be Skippy bars and now I’m partial to a bag of Butterkist Crunchy toffee popcorn when I settle down to watch a good drama or film on TV.

Ashcombe Wed 23-Feb-22 07:03:31

Another lover of Caramac here and I still like Cadbury's flake, especially in an ice cream cone! ? ??

Grannynannywanny Wed 23-Feb-22 07:03:08

Cadbury milk chocolate caramel bar is my favourite sweet treat. I used to love crème eggs but find them sickeningly sweet now. But a galaxy egg with gooey caramel inside is yummy?

kittylester Wed 23-Feb-22 06:57:23

My flipping phone - caramac!!

kittylester Wed 23-Feb-22 06:51:34

Carapace then.
Cadbury's wholenut- never fruit and nut.

Flake from the fridge - anytime.

My Nan was a teacher and she always got new berry fruits from the kids for Christmas.
As a child I was usually the beneficiary of these, along with boxes of Matchmakers and M&S Magnolia Toiletries smile
