Cadbury’s Giant Buttons. I can demolish a big bag in minutes, if I’m not supervised!
Anyone remember Cadbury’s Fuse? That was awesome.
Ritter Sport Marzipan. Waitrose stock it now.
Aldi plain chocolate and orange fondant. It comes with four bars inside but you cant eat a lot as its a really dry chocolate.
Chocky brazils of any kind, but I think it’s Holland and Barrett that do some with thick Belgian chocolate. Nom
Really? Choccy Brazils are usually the preserve of cinema picnmix where they are let down by the ersatz excuse for chocolate in which they are encased. M&S used to do them but this news of H&B is exciting stuff indeed. I shall pay them a visit forthwith
Time for some more,
Good ol whole nut, straight from the fridge.
Caramac bars I prefer to the buttons, especially if you let it melt slowly in your mouth.
Flake broken up into soft vanilla ice cream
OD'd on it in the past so not much of a fave now, but kinder chocolate.
Mint matchmakers
And a fave of mine when growing up, Mint Bitz bar - how many remember those?
Always loved Double Decker, seem to be the bar that has shrunk the least over the years! Speaking of which, Chunky Kit Kats are far from chunky, they're just slightly plump Kit Kats! What if one of the manufacturers decided to go back to a 70's size bar? I reckon it'd be a winner!
I'd forgotten about Drifter, Ruffle Bar and Fuse! Ta!
Remember Aztec Bar?
Dark Bounty also a favourite!
Anyone else tried American Milky Way? Bit like our Mars Bar but nicer.
Toffee Crisp and Lion Bars are two favourites. Also love posh white chocolate bars - the ones with the tiny flecks of vanilla in them. Recently had a bit of a craving for Fry's Chocolate Cream bars.
A rogue kit kat finger that has slipped through and has no wafer just chocolate, very rare a bit like seeing a red squirrel in Edinburgh but a delicacy
They’re not a chocolate bar, and by all objective standards they are terrible, but I can’t help but love a jam Wagon Wheel.
Lindor bars are good, as are all of grab bag versions of Cadbury’s bars,

Bournville giant buttons, non of that waiting to melt malarkey

Nice, but mostly because they taste nice and actually last longer than the 5 minutes the original dairy milk ones do. so I'm not sure thy count.

My dads aunt used to work at a mcvities* factory. She used to bring back packs of rejects. He take great delight in describing the scientific approach he and his sibling devised to find the biscuitless ones. Comparison of wright to a known correct one or balancing on a finger to find the half biscuits etc.
*Other biscuit companies may have existed in the early 60s
Kitkat chunkies are terrible 4 finger standards are perfection.
Lindt 99% cocoa. Only need one block. Just wonderful and a bar seems to last an age. On top of that the rest of the household don’t touch it, so double win!

I have been buying high %cocoa chocolate on the basis that it's not so easy to eat loads, so I don't gobble it all down immediately. It's only worked up to a point - I just habituated myself to it and now gobble anything up to 80%. The 100% I bought was utterly horrible though. I've heard it said that shit tastes like chocolate. This must be the one they had in mind.
