ebixa82

Hey Ladies,
I'm doing a project in college and I need to find out a little info about Irish women and their chocolate habits.

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?


2) How often do you eat chocolate?


3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?


4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?



Thanks to whoever takes the time to reply!

It's so hard to pick a favourite! I love Flake bars. And Terris Chocolate Orange.
I eat just as much dark as I do milk, but hardly any white. The Moser Roth dark orange bars from Aldi are always in my treat press, Bournville is another dark kind I love. I eat chocolate every single day, be it in bar, cake or biscuit format. I don't really care about the fat content, I find if I check it it doesn't stop me from eating it but makes me feel a bit guilty so I try not to luck. If there was such a thing as low fat chocolate that tasted as good as the regular kind and was the same price I might buy it alright, but am generally not bothered.

We don't normally allow surveys in this forum.

But if this is for SCIENCE and will one day lead to a possibility of more chocolate, or low fat chocolate, or benefits chocolate, we may be persuaded?

Vinta81

1) Milky Bar (Nestle)

2) Every second day (only one)

3) Nope.

4) Don't really care tbh :pac:

Asphyxia

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
At the minute it's a twirl

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
Meh.. I don't really think about it, I like to have it here and there and maybe in the evening watching a movie.

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
I do like some kinds not of the name as I got it in Aldi

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
I think every girl wished they could be more lower in fat but I don't dwell on it much, me love me chocolate

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
- Completely depends on what I'm in the mood for. Twix is usually a favourite, or dairy milk fruit&nut


2) How often do you eat chocolate?
- uhm... few times a week I guess


3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
- in very small quantities, maybe the 70% ones


4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
- I think sugar is probably the problem with chocolate, not fat... but a sugarfree chocolate bar would probably be ick

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?

White chocolate with pieces of raspberry


2) How often do you eat chocolate?

Not often enough

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?

No, it´s too bitter


4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

I´m rather underweight so I wish there was a really fat chocolate bar to make my weight gain speed up a bit....

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Totally depends on the humour. Twirls. Drifters. Topics. Moros. Caramellos. Picnics. Curly Wurlys. Green & Blacks. Lindt 70%. Lindt with hazelnuts. Whole Nut. Wispa. Starbar. Doube Decker. Get the picture? :pac:

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
I got into the habit of eating it Daily recently but I'm back to twice a week,

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Love good dark chocolate. As above, Green & Blacks, Lindt. Tesco 70% is also yummy. Lidl and Aldi do some good dark chocolate. HATE bournville.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
It would be nice to have a lower fat option that tasted good but I'd probably still have my favourites!

CathyMoran

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Does Terrys Chocolate Orange (the one with the poping candy) count? Otherwise Lindt milk chocolate/Aine Sicillian Lemon dark chocolate.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
Every day - am limiting it at the moment as I am pregnant.

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Not in general but the Aine chocolate that I mentioned above is amazing

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
Do not go near low fat for medical reasons (it's complicated).

Princess Peach

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?

Kinder Bueno!

2) How often do you eat chocolate?

Depends on my mood. I could have one week when I eat it every day, and then go a week or 2 without it

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?

I don't, not sweet enough for me!

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

I do! I often try to go for that Flyte bar as I think its the only low fat bar there is

squeakyduck

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Bounty, milka, kinder bueno, curley wurley....ye get the drift! :P

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
Not everyday, unless it's coming up to that time of the month, then I'm a monster!

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Not a fan of dark chocolate at all.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
I don't care as long as it tastes good I'll eat it, Chocolate is a happy hormone! Everyone deserves to be happy!

Faith

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?

Ehhh.... Ohhhh... That's so hard. Let's say Kinder Maxi. Or a Lion bar. Or a Galaxy Cookie. Or Milky bar.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?

Daily. Several times daily tbh.

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?

NO. It's manky.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

Well, a lower calorie chocolate would be awesome, of course! Fat I'm not so concerned about though.

Cookie Jar

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Hmmm prolly double decker.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
Lately I haven't been eating it much, maybe twice/three times a week

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Oh god no.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
Not really.

candy-gal1

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Mint aero

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
every day/2nd day

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
yep, frys is gorgeous dipped in tea

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
meh, would be good if say moro, snickers and mars were less calories but their not my fave so doesnt really matter.

jokettle

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Mint crisp, Lindt milk chocolate, milka milk chocolate, double decker....anything without raisins in it (who puts fruit in chocolate?!) and white chocolate is yummy too

2) How often do you eat chocolate? twice a week when I'm behaving, twice a day when I'm not

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Yup, Green and Blacks and Lindt. I can't take anything more than 70% cocoa though, it's just too bitter!

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

That would help, and I'd probably switch over to the low-fat versions if they were available, but it's not stopping me from eating chocolate now!

Orla K

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
No favourite, I tend to like lindt, green and blacks, milka chocolate rather than the neslte/cadburys/mars bars.
My favourite chocolate would have to be lindt chili chocolate closely followed by nearly everything else.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
I need my fix daily

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Yes, (lindts chili choc is 70%) I like dark chocolate as long as it isn't full of sugar and vanilla (as in the vile bournville chocolate) I sometimes have 80% if I'm trying not to eat too much chocolate

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
I actually would whish they would stop advertising certain bars as low fat. Take mars Flyte bar which is advertised as a low fat bar (containing 97kcal) but that's only one of the two bars your getting double that, in fairness the thing is piled with sugar, you can even feel it. A flake has less kcal(170) even a crunchie has less (185). If a bar of chocolate is low fat all well and good (and a flyte bar/bars) is lower in fat) but then when it comes down to it they've pilled in sugar to give it a taste then that brings the kcals up higher than other non low fat bars.
(In short I mostly ignore it)


Also I know far to much about chocolate for my own good, even considering making a dinner with chocolate (it go's well with strong meats, I want to get some venison to cook it with:o)

A bit of a side note, when I was living in limerick I used to go to the offlicence (o'briens) and they had a bottle of wine that went beutifully with chocolate(first wine I ever had that I could taste that actually went with food) in it pallate it did have chocolate in it. Ok I may be getting a bit obsessive about this chocolate thing.

Ok I know its a girls survey, but the best low fat alternative is to avoid white chocolate! Ok said my bit, best of luck with the survey.

Anything that doesnt have fruits, mint or liquor in it (love my alcohol but not in chocolate;))

Three times a week ( at least once in the bath and accompanied by a bottle of Rioja)

1) Green and Black's Maya Gold

2) Most days, but I'm trying to cut down

3) Love it - preferably with 70% cocoa solids

4) Don't really care - quality is more important to me than the fat content.

Edgedinblue

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
hmmmm... hard to say! But at the moment i'm loving Mint Aero, Double Deckers and plain Dairy milks! nom

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
nearly every day, maybe every two days

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
I do indeed, dont have a favourite. Although Tesco brand is pretty tasty

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
God no!! No low fat chocolate

Acoshla

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?

Fin Carre (I think) Lidl 74%, Galaxy Raisin & Hazelnut, or any good quality chocolate with biscuit in it, mmm.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?

About once a week, I sometimes eat a tiny corner or two if I'm baking with it.


3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?

I love dark chocolate, as long as it's good quality I like milk and white too. I like anything from 60-85% cocoa solids, 95% is the most foul thing I have ever tasted. I hate cheap crappy chocolate, the way Dairy Milk coats my mouth disturbs me, it's such crap.


4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

No, just eat less of them if you want lower fat version!

Links234

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
oh so many, galaxy ripple maybe? love a chocolate orange too

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
depends on my mood I guess? sometimes often sometimes not for a while

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
well, I don't dislike it, but I prefer milk chocolate

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
no care

How Strange

1) minstrels or crunchie

2) usually once/twice a week. I've been very undisciplined lately so having it every 2nd day or so

3) 70-80% nom nom nom.

4) god no. Just don't eat it everyday. Lots of bars are quite low in calories anyway.

Xiney

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
I'll eat anything, and it goes in phases. If I had to pick a favourite out of what's available in newsagents etc I'd have to say dark kit kat or a double decker.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?

Too often At least 3 or 4 times a week.


3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?

Oh yes. In fact most of the time I eat dark chocolate. I buy the orange and almond pack of 5 small bars from Aldi.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

To be honest, when I'm trying to care the 135 calorie little bars of dark chocolate from aldi do the trick. Sometimes I don't care and I'll go for a more normal bar that comes in around 230 like a twix or kitkat. I have to say I remain aware of snickers etc because they have peanuts and are that much higher and so would actually very rarely eat them despite the fact that I'm not really doing myself that much of a favour just by eating 30 calories less. Psychological screwiness.

Maple

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
I don't have one

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
Once a month, if even.

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Yes, Green & Blacks 70% is lovely.
4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
Definitely not! If i'm going to indulge I'm going to go the whole hog!

Lia_lia

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Flakes!

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
About 3 times a day. I know, I know..

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
No.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
I would just eat the fuller fat versions anyway. But I do think more lower fat chocolate would be a hit with people.

serenacat

) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
green and blacks

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
every day

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)? yes 70%, 85% lindt and green and black


4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

i wouldnt eat them anyway! chocolate is a treat!

Catari Jaguar

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?

Swiss or Belgian chocolate. Cadbury is worst. It's too diluted with milk and sugar. I love Daim too

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
Couple of times a week

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?

Nyom! Green & Blacks 70 - 85% or organic NSA dark mint choc

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

Not low fat - I want low sugar. Or if they'd put sweeteners in instead of sugar.

Truley

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?

I like Cadburys chocolate best. Also love Toffee Crisp and Aeros. Wouldn't say no to a box of Lindor for xmas.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?

Nearly every day. Though my interest has waned in recent years. My mother always used to say that when I'm older my taste for sweet things wont be so strong and I think she was right!

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?

Not really no. I'll just about tolerate bournville and I don't think that even counts. I'm not mad on chocolate ice cream or very rich chocolate mousse or dessert for the same reason. Even if foodies will argue it's the only 'real' chocolate.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

Don't really care. A low sugar version maybe, as I would be more concerned about sugar rather than fat intake.

Hope this helps!

I'm really more of a savoury person so not that often.
Once or twice a month.


3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?

That 70% stuff green and blacks?
A friend of mine gets the odd bar and I'd have a bit of it.


4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

Meh...If I'm going to eat it...I don't want any half assed versions!
Gimme the real deal!

THANKS A MILLION..OP HERE

IT'S A BUSINESS PLAN TO MARKET A NEW BAR. I WAS THINKING A LOW FAT BAR BUT CLEARLY THAT WOULDN'T BE THAT POPULAR. GOOD TO KNOW!

ANY SUGGESTIONS? NEW FLAVOR OF ESTABLISHED BAR PERHAPS?

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
milka, crunchie, lindt, milky way, frys chocolate cream, milkybar, there ain't many i don't like tbh


2) How often do you eat chocolate? at least once a day


3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)? Yes, really love the lindt chocolate of any variety


4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
it would be nice but usually reducing fat in things like this means reducing flavour so i'd rather not compromise that :rolleyes:

bigtuna

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
green and black any :)galaxy nut, dairy milk plain, wispa, lion bar, crunchie

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
once a week if even

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
green and black with lovely red wine

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
more options of chocolate are always good!

allandanyways

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Milkybars (the six piece ones) or mini Milky Ways. Or half melted mini mars bars. And those white chocolate Lindt truffle thingys. NOM.

2) How often do you eat chocolate? Out of the 7 days in a week... probably 5.

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)? No, absolutely cannot stand it.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
I wish there were more lower fat versions of white chocolate because it's so so so bad for you but I really enjoy it. I don't mind the mini bars because they are wee bites of happiness.

Posy

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Cadbury's Crunchie would probably win out.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
Every 2-4 weeks or so; sometimes more, sometimes less.

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Yuck, no. I don't like white or dark. Only milk chocolate.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
I don't eat chocolate bars very often so, no, I really wouldn't care that much.

pearliefan

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Dairy Milk, plain.
Woah, actually I completely forgot about Toblerone. It's a tie between those two.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
Depends... generally 1-2 times a week.

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Yes!! Lindt, above 70%. I like the 80% one.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
Em.. I guess. Not too bothered really.

FouxDaFaFa

1) Favourite is the Marabou roll of chocolates. You don't see them in most shops but they're lovely. Also love anything Cadbury's. And Galaxy! haha.

2)Every day! In my defence I don't drink fizzy drinks or eat sweets or crisps usually, it's just chocolate that i go for.

3)I like dark in small doses, probably wouldn't buy it as a first choice but if someone gave me a bit of Bourneville I'd be happy.

4)I've never thought about it but as others have mentioned I'd be more worried about the sugar content. I don't want Diabetes!

beks101

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
That's sort of like asking an alcoholic what their favourite drink is. It doesn't matter as long as it's chocolate. Except Turkish Delight. Vile stuff.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
I never get past more than two days without it, although I'm chronically avoiding it like the plague. These days I won't buy it, but if I see you with some, I'll eat yours. All of it.

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
I know I should but no, no I don't. Too bitter.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
If I want to eat low fat, I'll eat a salad. Chocolate is as about being naughty to me as it is about the taste. Call me crazy.

Are you doing Food Science? Looking at the answers Dark Chocolate seems less accessable to a lot of people - maybe a more accessable dark chocolate (not Bournville!). Craft chololate is a good niche but there are already a few decent ones already (Chez Emily/Aine to name two). Unusual flavours are everywhere now. Good luck.
