Lindt. Unless I'm really hungry too and then it's a Snickers. I love Easter.

Green & Blacks dark chocolate with ginger - but any g&b is yummy! smile

Cadburys whole nut or fruit and nut

Any choc except for Cadbury's, I find it too sugary.

Hotel Chocolat.

Dark chocolate with chilli.

M&S choc is quite good.I may have to go and sample some now.

Lindt pistachio nut is my absolute favourite chocolate. And i tried a new one from Cadbury this week, i think it was called Medley, with fruit and nuts, and studded with raspberries, really nice!

I have 2 squares of Green and Blacks dark 85% chocolate every day. It's an acquired taste, but milk chocolate now tastes too sweet

January's Chimps. They are toffee covered in choc. We can't find them in many shops, so when we do, we buy in bulk. We get some strange looks from the sales assistants when we present them with great piles of them!smile

Ooh! Green and Blacks new-ish THIN milk choc with bits of caramel and sea salt. Not the cheapest, but it does pop up on offer quite often. Do we have a [drools] symbol? grin

I adore chocolate and used to have at least a bar everynight .
I have given it up now due to high cholesteroel? and have gone down from a 16 to a 14 dress size ,whoopi !!
My favs were fruit and nut and turkish delight and many others .

Anything as long as it's not white!! Not really chocolate just a sweet tasteless mess.

I love ALL chocolate, but Galaxy will always win!

camlyn Thu 03-Mar-16 10:46:06

Green and Black's salted caramel but I can't just eat two squares!

Marmight Thu 03-Mar-16 10:46:28

Green & Blacks caramel and sea salt. Brought some out to Oz for DD but have just polished it off myself - well, it had been sitting there looking at me from the fridge for over 6 weeks so obviously she didn't want it .........wink

Willies for me?

Neversaydie Thu 03-Mar-16 11:14:26

Love Aldi nut chocolate
Not too sweet lots of nuts

nonnasusie Thu 03-Mar-16 11:16:35

Lindt dark with chilli, with "fior di sale" (salt) or orange intense! Also Terrys dark choc orange amongst others grin. I'm supposed to be dieting for DSD wedding in August so all should be off limits really!!

I Was away with friends at New Year and one couple organised a chocolate tasting competition. I am embarrassed to say I won which rather confirms my status as a chocoholic. I blame the very kind parents that sent in chocolates as a thank you at the end of school terms. I do ration myself to one piece but do have some every night. I like most chocolate but have found expensive chocolate in places such farm shops can be a disappointment.

michelleblane Thu 03-Mar-16 11:37:24

Dark with bits of ginger, or candied orange in. Cadbury's caramel has always been a favourite too. Aldi do some fantastic bars, just as good as the expensive brands IMO.

cupcake1 Thu 03-Mar-16 12:00:37

Hotel Chocolat every time especially the caramel filled ones! I also like Ghirardelli milk chocolate caramel I had when in the USA, absolutely delicious but cannot get it here. Looked on Amazon and they do sell it but at massively hiked prices so I will just have to go back to the States with an empty suitcase and stock up!! wink

Cotswoldgran Thu 03-Mar-16 12:06:50

I'm another for the Green & Blacks with ginger!

Indinana Thu 03-Mar-16 12:12:58

Sadly a couple of my favourites are no longer available. I used to love Cadbury's Dream Eggs and was gutted when they stopped producing them. I also used to love Creme Eggs when they were made with Dairy Milk chocolate instead of the horrible chocolate flavoured candy they use now. I won't buy them anymore, so disappointing.

But oh yes, dark chocolate with real ginger, yum! Or Fry's Turkish Delight. Also love Bounty, milk or plain - it's the chocolate bar that keeps on giving - bits of coconut to ferret out of my teeth for hours afterwards grin

NanSue Thu 03-Mar-16 12:18:14

I used to love a cadburys Picnic bar, I'm not sure if they still make them though. Snickers are good but I do love a nice chunk of whole nut.

Star Bar or Lidl's whole hazelnut. Local Co-op has sold out of the Star Bars and no more have appeared. Perhaps a good thing!
