    I spent a summer working in Slough years ago. Every lunchtime the whole town smelled of melting chocolate. You could almost taste the Maltesers.

    I'm going through a phase of milk choc Prince Polo bars, can find them in any Lithuanica etc. Sort of like a flatter time out :D

    Starbar

    The original Boost bar, the coconut one resurfaced as a white moro a while back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    Lidl’s version of Rocky bars. Can’t remember what they’re called, Canyon or something.
    Either those or a plain Dairy Milk

    Getting choosier in my old age... Has to be Cadbury.. oh and occasional Fry's choc or mint creme...

    I noticed at Christmas that it was the Cadbury tins that sold out first..

    But Cadbury for me....

    I love the thin Dairy Milk bars that only ever seem to come in Christmas selection boxes. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

    Oh, I really enjoy anything with a caramel filling.

    Even those seem rare to come by in supermarkets in my city. I've only managed to get one a few times before.

    and the younger members here will not know that Tallaght used to have the largest Chocolate Bar factory in Europe in the early to mid 1900's with over 1000 staff - Urney Chocolates which then renamed itself to HB chocolates when it was sold to Unilever in the 70's after previously being bought in the 60's by a giant US company. The Factory is now Belgard retail park.

    The Catch Bar continues (now made in trinidad and tobago!) as does iced caramels, macaroon bars and cleeves toffees (all made in Newbridge)

    and there were rumors of the two and two coming back, but the current owners concentrate mainly on own brand products, merrytime and the cleeves toffee range.

    But never say never

    Gold bar, Dairy Milk, Milka, Malteasers :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,003 ✭✭✭Hammer89


    I don't know if anyone remembers the old Dairy Milk from back in the day. They were thin - like really thin, sim card thin - and about six inches long. Damn, what a bar.

    Double Deckers are my current favourite.

    I have recently discovered these new bad boys based on them, even more delish...

    They are lovely, especially after being in the fridge. But the bags are too small :o

    Ritter chocolate was one of the most smuggled products into the GDR...a taste of the West...a taste of advanced capitalism. The commies could'nt get enough of the stuff. In chocolate there is truth...

    not crunchle... the shop sent a multi pack when they must have run out of wispa.... definitely not crunchie!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 480 ✭✭ewc78


    Double Decker or Picnic


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,378 ✭✭✭CeilingFly


    Starbar seems to be the favorite, and it would be close to the top of my list too.

    Funny how you never see Starbar multi packs - I wonder if this is a marketing idea.

    Keep it premium. Keep it wanted.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,096 ✭✭✭Reiketsu


    Twirl, Wispa, Boost, Toffe Crisp, Time Out, Golden Crisp, Cadburys Turkish Delight would be my favourites!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 668 ✭✭✭Coopaloop


    Toffee crisp for me; closely followed by star bar, picnic and boost.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,511 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    God, this is hard

    In joint first place - Double Decker and Crunchie

    In joint second place - Picnic, Snickers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,346 ✭✭✭borderlinemeath


    Terry Chocolate Orange.

    Best thing about Easter is a Terry chocolate orange easter egg, contrary to most others where the egg is generic chocolate eg cadburys chocolate with a flake egg, or nestle chocolate with a rolo egg - the entire egg is also chocolate orange. Also back in the 80s there were Terrys bitz bars, terrys chocolate with either mint or orange flavoured bits in them. Long gone now.



    Also very partial to Galaxy, Minstrels, Maltesers, Cadburys dairy milk, flake or twirls. And lindt chocolate is lovely too.



    Don't like nuts so it rules out all the snickers/whole nuts/starbars.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,532 ✭✭✭Titzon Toast


    Secret. They haven't been made in years though, unfortunately.


  • Registered Users Posts: 34 whodini


    Starbar, no contest. Except from Snickers. Weirdly, like Catch, although the chocolate is clearly inferior.

    That was shrinkflation , making them thinner rather than raise the price. yeah they got wafer thin in the end.

    Yorkie kept the size and made a fuss about the chunks.

    But Rowntree Mackintosh are long gone. Fond memories of the smells out of the factory. But today its Nestle. Sugar is not a replacement for coco.

    Cadbury's new owners don't understand that cheapo generic vegetable fats are not a replacement for milk.

    +1 on the Chocolate orange, one of the few genuine ones left. I had forgotten how good they were until I saw your post.

    Double Decker? The only Cadbury Dairy Milk based bar I dont like


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Wispa, love the mini ones. So moreish. Like a pure chocolate infusion.


  • Registered Users Posts: 124 ✭✭speckled_park


    Galaxy caramel nom nom.

    If i was in a pool full of galaxy caramel id probably eat my way out instead of drowning.


  • Registered Users Posts: 614 ✭✭✭notsoyoungwan


    Someone has already mentioned topdeck - they were fabulous, milk chocolate topped with white chocolate.

    For a short while aero did a version with white choc bubbly bits wrapped in milk chocolate. AFAIR it was in a blue wrapper, haven’t seen it in years.

    Anyone remember midler biscuits from the mid 1990s? They were about two-thirds the length of a Twix finger, with a sandwich of crunchy chocolate biscuit and a cream filling, coated in milk chocolate. They were gorgeous!

    Hard to beat a curly wurly from the freezer though, great chewing in it!

    It's so easy to nearly eat all six in one go :p
