1. Toffee Crisp.

Like Tom Hanks. Nothing flashy, but consistently delivers.

Double Decker.  The chewiness makes it last longer 🙂

The Texan chocolate bar was withdrawn from sale in 1984 but made a brief return as a limited edition in 2005

I used to be partial to a Milky Way. Like a mars bar, but without the cloying caramel.

I'm quite fond of the occasional Starbar

Picnic. For the raisins.

Conversely, Lion bar is shit.

Star Bar.

Often overlooked by the cool kids, but full of chocolatey, chewy toffee, peanutty, sugar rush goodness.

Starbar is the correct answer with an honourable mention to Topic.

Aztec for the retro win:

"The Cadbury Aztec chocolate bar was first available on shop shelves in 1967, a real 60s sweet, and lived a reasonably successful life, all the way through to 1978 when it was sadly discontinued. That’s one chocolatey dream crushed and another favourite sweet treat torn from the shelves"

Well nice they were

Not so much unsung hero,but more that epic moment when you first discover, that the Club biscuit (fruit) you have is solid chocolate. 😆 🤣

Do Tunnock’s Caramels actually count?

Double Decker FTW

Maybe a bit mainstream, but I love a KitKat chunky. Why don't they make a dark chocolate one though 🤔

Mmm Family Milk Chocolate.

Or Vegolate or whatever the Euros correctly described our rancid attempts as.

Toffee Crisp is obviously the right answer. Still in mourning for the plain chocolate version.

I honestly don’t know anyone who likes it. Obviously  people do or they wouldn’t sell it. Same with Parma Violets.

Anyone remember this from the mid-90's?

We (as kids) discovered them on holiday at a local corner shop, then couldn't find them when we got back to London. Eventually we did one of those kid's letters to Rowntree's fondly imagining that they'd send us a crate of them and all we got back was a formal letter saying it was not being continued. Bastards.

Milky Way, found it surprisingly resistant to freezing too hard to eat or melting into its wrapper.

Small enough that there is always a gap for one or five.

The Cabana bar.

Gone but not forgotten.

Pound for pound GOAT of the choccy world.

Big shout out to coconut Boost, too.

Starbar or Picnic for me. Is there some kind of b*stard lovechild that melds the two gether?

And remember that our chocolate is SO much better than in the USA. My brother in law has just left us to return to Virginia. He has a hold bag filled with UK chocoate. He described the US stuff as sweet brown sh!t.
