    Gonna try something here. 32 of Ireland's best loved bars in a straight knockout competition. I have them all ready to duke it out to see what the absolute pinnacle of confectionery is. Basically, you vote for your favourite bar and if it gets enough votes, it goes through to the next round.

    All draws are made using a random number generator.

    First to get five votes goes through to the next round.

    Feel free to give pros and cons of the battling bars!


    Round 1


    Kinder Bueno

    If Crunchie is in one of the rounds anyone who votes for it can consider themselves dead to me.

    Chomp...chewy and mildly filling (remember when they were 10p and worth every penny)....could be frozen and broken easily.

    Kinder bueno....not for me....Not a fan of Nutella based products - due to knowing people with nut allergies.....kinder bueno could be a killer for some kids.

    So my vote is for chomp.

    Thread needs a poll !!!!

    Kinder Bueno. It's a bit more sophisticated and good, solid dippage.

    I'd still be fond of an auld Chomp at Christmas mind. Out of the selection box, rolled up in to a ball and straight in, no questions asked.

    Also Bueno, no competition there. Chomps are just manky.

    I think I'll have to go with Kinder Bueno. Just very luxurious. A real treat and you can nibble off bits in sections too.

    Good fight from the humble Chomp but Bueno takes it by reaching 5 votes first. Next up is another David vs Goliath affair.

    Mars Bar

    Mars

    Not too keen on either but the chomp is always the last to go in the selection box

    It's a random draw as stated in the opening post. Think of it as more of an FA Cup and less of a Sunday league

    Also I think Chomp should have won the last round.
    What’s wrong with ye? We all grew up eating our 10p Chomp bars!
    You are all forgetting where ye came from with your Beuno!

    Mars.


    It's like Real Madrid vs Levante, purists might like the idea of small club with local fan base advancing but they just can't compete against the big boys.

    Have to go against the grain here.... Mars haven't been enjoyable since the 90s.

    The humble fudge however gets my vote... Although it isn't filling by any stretch of the imagination.... It's light enough to be a snack without ruining a meal.

    Jeepers, fudge got no love in that round. Mars wins 5-0. Interesting clash of styles here next.
