Underrated chocolate bars

Ok so I know it’s not strictly a chocolate bar, but last night I had such a craving for a Twix. Haven’t had one in years. Got one today and it’s as good as I remember, the crunch, the caramel and just the right amount of chocolate. So, was just wondering what everyone else’s forgotten favourites are?

Ripples still taste like proper chocolate. Bet no-one remembers Mint Cracknell

Galaxy ripple. Like a flake but without all the crumbly chocolatey evidence left behind. Easier to snaffle.

What are Marbles?
Oh and another, I used to make my poor boyfriend get out of bed at all hrs to go to the garage to get me a wispa gold. He said eventually the guy in the garage would have it ready for him walking in.

You double decker lovers are wrong uns Hmm

I think Topic is underrated , and the humble Milkybar if only it came in bigger portions

Coffeeandchocolate9 · 03/08/2019 18:42

Oh and kendall mint cake.

There is an amazing chocolate pretzel bar in either Aldi or Lidl which i tell everyone about (in chocolate only conversations of course).

Yes it's Aldi and it is beautiful 😍

I too worry about the palm oil womble 😩

Double deckers are always fabulous!

I still miss the raisins in them. Sniff.

Coffeeandchocolate9 · 03/08/2019 18:45

And animal bars - the chocolate was better than other cadburys somehow.

Oh and kinder egg chocolate - they really ought to bring out a proper, just two layer milk and white chocolate bar of kinder chocolate. None of that horrific crunchy bleurgh stuff that put in Buenos.

Coffeeandchocolate9 · 03/08/2019 18:46

Anybody remember the m&s three layer chocolate bars? 💗

ToEarlyForDecorations · 03/08/2019 18:46

Bet no-one remembers Mint Cracknell

I do.

missmouse101 · 03/08/2019 18:47

Time Out bars are pretty good too!

Wearenotyourkind · 03/08/2019 18:48

Kinder Bueno!

Oilyskinproblems · 03/08/2019 18:52

Marbles are kind of like guylian (seashell chocolates) but Cadbury’s. They were/are incredible.

Does anyone remember poppets fruit creams? I know you can get toffee/mint etc but they used to do a pack where you got loads of different flavours - a yellow, a white, pink, orange etc - they were awesome but no one remembers them (except my dB and dsis)

StrumpersPlunkett · 03/08/2019 18:55

Boooost booost a biscuit boost!!!

Or a double decker

Or a topic

saywhatwhatnow · 03/08/2019 18:55

Cadbury's Marble bars were the best. I'm so so gutted they don't do them anymore, I occasionally wistfully google in the hope that they will bring them back.

Wispa gold was also up there. Do they still do them?

For a biscuit bar I like a club gold and a purple club, or an orange penguin. They are just so tiny now though Sad

FlamedToACrisp · 03/08/2019 18:57

What's the problem with palm oil?

StrumpersPlunkett · 03/08/2019 19:00

This is the advert I remember

FunkyBarnYardBroom · 03/08/2019 19:05

Milky way!

My favourite was a limited edition of the toffee crisp. Was Christmas pudding flavour.

Maaaaaan I'd kill for one right now!

threesenoughthanks · 03/08/2019 19:08

Can't beat an aero when you need a real chocolate hit (milk, orange or mint). I always loved a cabana as a kid....mmmmm.

libertyminty · 03/08/2019 19:10

Marbles sound so good. There’s some chocolate you can get at the checkout bit in Ikea, not sure of the name but they’re round and sold in a tube like shape. They’re awesome.
I missed the Christmas pudding toffee crisp! Would have like to try that.

Double Decker or Drifter. Yum!

Palm oil is major driver of deforestation of some of the world’s most biodiverse forests, eg in Indonesia, destroying the habitat of already endangered species like the Orangutan.

I eat twixes, wispas and twirls fairly regularly Blush. Whenever I have Lion bars I think I should eat them more often, they are delicious and I love the texture. Had rolos for the first time in years recently - they were really good too!
