What makes a good chocolate bar?

    So, I decided to have a kit-kat yesterday for the first time in ages and, to be honest, was left feeling underwhelmed - wafer - what's that all about. I reckon that wafer in a chocolate bar is one step too close to health food.

    I reckon, to qualify for the mantle of "chocolate bar" there has to be gooey stuff in the middle - toffee, caramel etc - peanuts are a bonus as well as crispy things. Double deckers, snickers, star bars - they'd all be classed as chocolate bars in my book.

    Snacks and kit kats can feck off - uninventive ****e!

    What's your all time favourite chocolate bar and why?

    One of the only things I missed about home when I was away.

    One that you can eat layers off of, in a few different ways. Double Decker is good for this.

    I like the wafer in the Kit Kat personally, and I would hardly call it health food. Personally, I am partial to Peanut M&M's.

    This is something I've noticed about the way in which womenfolk tend to eat chocolate bars, eating the layers separately, whereas menfolk seem to prefer the idea of enjoying a sample of all layers in a single bite.. How strange.

    Sometimes I'll do half & half, just to mix things up a bit. Chomp down the first half in a conventional manner then toy with and savour the rest.

    I have a balanced diet so usually an aero in one hand and a dairy milk in the other.

    I'd like to see an amalgamation of the glory of Belgian/Swiss chocolate with the fillings of British/Irish chocolate, like crunchie, moro or toffee crisp but without the greasy abomination that is Cadbury's 'chocolate'.

    Kit Kats have to be straight out of the fridge, a complete waste otherwise.

    Have always thought that bars of chocolate that are textured, like Twirls, Flakes or Wispas, always taste so much better. Even though they are just chocolate like a Dairy Milk. I love, love, love chocolate with crispy bits, Cadbury's Mint and Golden Crisp, or Nestle Dairy Crunch:D. Double Deckers are sexual, they have the crispy crunchiness on the bottom, the soft nougat top AND Cadbury's chocolate.

    Don't eat chocolate much anymore but you need a bar with a bit of eating in it, snickers, moro etc! The caramel really gets the jaws going. Not a fan of bars where two bites and it's gone.

    Tbh I'd eat any chocolate bar except dark chocolate.....unless it's for laxative purposes :eek:

    Yorkies and KitKat chunkys.
    Big, solid, dense blocks of chocolate is what you want.

    I mean seriously... Who the hell likes wispas??

    Ive only just seen this thread & i literally did a cartwheel backwards through a window onto the street. Double-glazing, i hate you.

    Here are my thoughts. Lets us pray.

    Pink snack bars, tracker bars & those rice crispie bars you can all fcuk off. They're all bluffers. None of them are real choc bars. Except for kitkats, anything with wafer (even typing this word makes me gag) is rubbish, wafer is like a filler, something cheap to bulk up a product. Example, Lion bars? Waaay too much wafer & not enough good stuff. Fail. Anything with raisins....out... I SAID OUT. Milky way?.....a little wimp of a thing, too weak to enjoy. Get yur bags & baggage.

    Lets move on, what would i consider a decent chocolate bar? you say, breathing heavily & moaning slightly. For me theres 2 sorts. Choc bar A is a great hunger buster & yummy, Choc bar B is just sexy tastey.

    A - Snickers, twix, mars, moro, yorkie, Kitkat, doubledecker, drifter.

    B - twirl, flake, Dairymilk (goldencrisp,caramello, mint) choco buttons, nestle caramel, nestle munchies, crunchie.

    Yes but whats my favourite? you cry thrusting your thumbs into your eyes & screaming like lambs being slaughtered. At the moment i loikes a crunchie with a glass of milk. Lubberly.

    Amen.
