What is good chocolate now?

[Thisismynewname23]

I used to love Cadbury… years ago, now it just has no flavour it’s waxy almost and just the texture everything is off, I like Tony’s and green and black isn’t bad, galaxy I’ve never like too sweet, what’s a good chocolate for a treat?

Monty bojangles truffles are amazing!

Ooh, Bonne Maman do a chocolate spread with no palm or rapeseed oil. It's £3.50 though, so quite expensive.

Ritter have a small amount of palm oil in tbe fillings but if you only have the chocolate by itself you are good.

Waitrose has palm oil in its chocolate, as do Lindt & M&S, from my little Google search just now. It makes chocolate taste waxy 🤢 and look artificially shiny.

Edited for typos.

Tesco finest 48% dark , as good as the Green and Blacks equivalent

Lindt is my go-to.
I can't belive how bad Dairy Milk is compared to the little tiny bars I used to get as a treat at Christmas, as a kid

I've done extensive research on this. Waitrose own brand Belgian chocolate is the nicest. I make a special trip just to buy it.

Also no nasties : Ingredients
INGREDIENTS: Dried Whole Milk, Cocoa Mass†, Cocoa Butter, Sugar.

I love the Lidl 85% dark chocolate delicious

I like M&S and Waitrose. The M&S mountain bar is better than Toblerone.

I've gone off Hotel Chocolat, there's something unsatisfying about it

Gnaw 79% raspberry (I’m vegan but I don’t like oat type chocolate; this is lush).

Lidl dark raspberry chocolate.
Ritter sport orange cream
Lindt milk
Ritter cornflakes.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have just bought some for DH.

We were given a celebrations easter egg and DH ate it and said it was vile and the chocolate egg was actually bendy. He still ate the whole thing though. LOL

exactly my thought! So useful.

Discovered on a UK break to Suffolk. Expensive but you can really taste the difference, it’s an ethical company and the founder and owner is a very inspirational and interesting lady and it’s a family-run business.

Its medical i did say in my replies it was not meant in a spiteful way my laptop crashed half way through when i was typing then wouldnt let me edit it.

M&S - the mountain bar and the small swiss chocolate bars. Also some of the Waitrose ones. I like Ritter Sport, too, and the Roser Moth from Aldi.

Definitely Rococo

I understand, but it is very beside the point to answer 'I don't eat chocolate' in a post about favourite chocolates. The OP asked about favourite chocolates, not about whether or not you eat chocolate and why.

M&S chocolate, both dark 70% and milk from the cooking/baking ingredients aisle is delicious and only 1.25

Ooh really?! Noted.

My son (young adult so buys his own) rates Tesco own-brand chocolate buttons

Read my replies.

There's a local to me chocolate maker who sells online and their chocolate is lovely.

Called the Bittersweet Chocolate Company. Their hot chocolate flakes are fabulous!!

It’s quality over quantity for me, so for a special treat Venchi chocolates are my absolute absolute fave. I also dream about their Italian ice cream....

Galaxy was my favourite as a child but they spoiled that years ago, and sad to read here elsewhere that Yorkie has been similarly "improved"? It was the only mainstream one we still liked. I am limited in what I can eat being coeliac, and I prefer creamy Swiss and Belgian styles...so had a Lindt bunny this Easter. I enjoyed it but it seemed much sweeter than I remembered, so was a bit sickly...but maybe I just shouldn't have oinked so much at once!! lol I've been given all kinds of posh chocolate, like hotel chocolat, which we usually find rather greasy and sickly. I've had a very few artisan praline hand made ones over the years which were amazing (most of them I wish I'd not bothered). Agree that Ritter is still quite nice. Our preferred one now is Lidl's hazelnut milk bar. It's just over £1 and has a creamy texture and flavour with nice balance of nut to chocolate. That one is my favourite, but their other bars are also quite pleasant, and to me most resemble old style milky bars, dairy milk, bournville etc. 😋

This is fantastic chocolate

This isn't high street and is a bit expensive but Chococo chocolate based in Dorset I think, delicious! Really good quality, no crap, dark milk and blonde variations and different variants on those too. It's good I don't live nearby, but a little is very satisfying.
