Best, best chocolate bar

Dark chocolate Bounty
Waitrose Milk Chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa. 40%
Hotel Chocolate when I can afford it.

Last Christmas Cadbury's had a special edition Cath Kidson tin of Roses. I had not had a large tin at Christmas for years but I needed a new cake tin so I bought one. In the middle of January I remembered I had it and thought few won't hurt while I watch the news. How disappointed I was, they were nothing like those we had years ago, apart from the selection being different, the chocolate didn't taste the same. From now on if I want a treat in December I shall buy Bendick's mint creams or a galaxy bar.

Chocolate orange, Flake, Thorntons Continental. Any good quality milk chocolate really. I’m literally sitting here licking my lips as I ADORE chocolate and I’m trying to lose some weight so they’re a bit of a no no and once I start eating them I can’t stop. My DH recently bought me a box of M&S chocolates for Valentines Day. I think they were the Belgian ones. They were gorgeous - he doesn’t normally buy me anything for Valentine’s Day, but he did this year - only because he wanted to share the choccies! I let him have one or two of them. Generous or what.

Cadburys fruit a nut maybe I’m a bit of a nut case?

The marzipan chocolate in Black Magic boxes.
Once they stopped the marzipan, no point buying Black Magic.

Best choc bar - Aldi mini dark chocolate bars (pack of 5?).
I also love any plain chocolate with ginger or rum and raisin. ?

Any of the dark chocolate Lindt. My only beef with them is that the keep bringing out new flavours. What I especially like about these chocolate bars is that your mouth doesn't tell you to keep going back for more. If I'm given milk chocolate I'll eat my way through the box and end up getting spots - at my ripe old age! Not good.

My fav now is Lindt Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt, and the Dark with Orange.

I remember the first time I tasted chocolate with salt, and I thought it was revolting, but somehow it has grown on me to become my favourite.

I also love Glossette Raisins. If I go to the movies, it is my snack of choice over popcorn.

I’m such a pleb. I can’t abide plain chocolate unless it’s wrapped round a sickly sweet centre. Yes, I know it’s good for you, but so is liver, allegedly.

I’m off to eat another creme egg.

Ooh yes. Love a bendicks bittermint one is enough, which is good!

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.

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.

Dark chocolate Bounty bars which are getting very difficult to find

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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!!!?

Dark chocolate Toblerone. Any 85% cocoa dark chocolate.

Dark chocolate Bounty Bars ...yummy

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.
