How has dairy milk won Britain best chocolate? Most people I know boycotted it ages ago because it tasted like wax
What is going on!

I like Thornton's alpini.

SheWoreBlueVelvet · 06/01/2019 20:56

Montezuma chocolate is brilliant.

I do like a Topic bar. How was it only 30th. Bloody heathens.

Anything but Cadbury's these days and Bournville used to be my absolute favourite bar. I have stopped eating a lot of chocolate tbh as I can't find anything I really like. Recently we have been buying the odd bar of Sainsbury's own brand (the range that imitated the Cadburys Dairy Milk / Fruit and Nut etc. bars) and it is pretty good.

Best chocolate in the UK is from Melange, Maxted Road, Peckham. No question.

SprusselBrout · 06/01/2019 20:59

Vego (technically gianduja, not that i’m sure that i’ve spelled that correctly).

chocatoo · 06/01/2019 21:00

I love a bar of CDM, especially Fruit and Nut. Yummy!

SprusselBrout · 06/01/2019 21:00

Ritter sport is lovely. I think between 50% and 60% cocoa is the perfect balance - i often find milk chocolate dissatisfying and very high % dark chocolates somewhat punishing.

ChesterGreySideboard · 06/01/2019 21:00

What you really need is Wawal chocolate. Find it in your local Polish shop.

SprusselBrout · 06/01/2019 21:01

Oooh Dom and Daisy is also nice. I like chocolate with crunchy things in it Grin

*Toblerones are too sweet now. May try a dark choc one if I see one ever again."

McArthurGlen outlet near us has a Cadbury shop & that had large plain Toblerone yesterday.
M&S mountain (like a toblerone) is acceptable. Interesting a PP said Thorntons now make M&S chocs as I think Thorntons are on the slide. Fake moussey stuff instead of proper fudge and toffee flavour goo not a chewy toffee in the box I was given for xmas.

I have just seen the creme egg advert this year for the white eggs again.

Thought they would have learned!

IncomingCannonFire · 06/01/2019 21:05

Godiva is lovely or montessumi (sp?) expensive though.
Milka is still decent

ChesterGreySideboard · 06/01/2019 21:07

Thornton’s have really dropped the ball. Hotel Chocolat have eaten their lunch.

I’m going to say it again though, pop in next time you go past a Polish shop and buy some Wawel.

For cheap chocolate Ritter Sport Peppermint, kept in the freezer, is lush, sold by Lidl, among other places. They used to do a mocha and they ought to reinstate it.
Who votes on these things? If the result is simply on volume it's hardly statistically valid. Quantity and quality are not the same thing!

SilverySurfer · 06/01/2019 21:09

Cadburys is full of palm oil and tastes of shit. I can only assume large wads of cash were passed to the judges.

JudasPrudy · 06/01/2019 21:10

Tesco intense mint dark chocolate is really nice.

OutPinked · 06/01/2019 21:10

Aldi have an amazing hazelnut chocolate. I’d take that over dairy milk every day. Dairy milk is rancid.

pineapplebryanbrown · 06/01/2019 21:11

70 i ate a crème egg yesterday that was fondanty in the middle. I didn't need a tiny spoon. I've never heard of a white crème egg, it sounds like a thing of great beauty.

tillytrotter1 · 06/01/2019 21:14

I have a lovely box of Charbonnel et Walker Dark Sea Salt Caramel Truffles on the side table and they're all mine, I'm almost afraid to open them as my self control will fly out of the window.

Voodoorain · 06/01/2019 21:17

Nope it’s horrid. Used to be nice but tastes kinda waxy for some reason now. Tesco milk chocolate (in the blue packet) tastes a lot like how I remember Cadbury’s used to taste.

sevensatsumas · 06/01/2019 21:17

Quality Street are the nicest chocolates - dunno who makes them, but our tin lasted no time. Still have the Celebrations and Roses - no-one wants them.

BackforGood · 06/01/2019 21:20

I fast forwarded through that Channel5 list. Couldn't believe the order of so called 'favourites'. You'd never have predicted much of it.

20 years ago, I'd have agreed with Dairy milk winning, before they changed the taste but I can't believe Aero came second, when Mars Bar was only 20th - it must have been a very odd poll.

SpoonBlender · 06/01/2019 21:25

I'd forgotten about Milka Only, I remember it being slightly better than Dairy Milk when DM was good, but I've not had any for years so can't comment now. I'll try some next I see it.

And I'll be having a go on that Wawel, yes Chester. I pass a Polish shop most days, never been in.

Hotel Chocolat I find is nice but overpriced by about double.

Ritter always tastes cheap to me, never liked it.

Montezuma is up there, along with the Love Chocolate and Divine and whatever the co-op "extra special" line is.

DaphneDiligaf · 06/01/2019 21:26

CrazyCrunk

@DaphneDiligaf which one is it although it would be better for me not to know

Sorry can't remember the name (haven't bought it for a while) but its not the cheapest one. I also love Teaser bars, Milky Bars and Chocolate Oranges.

LadyFidgetAndHerHandbag · 06/01/2019 21:28

I've never liked dairy milk or much cadbury stuff really. I highly recommend Montezuma's, it's not cheap but it's really tasty. Proper Swiss chocolate from Switzerland can't be beaten but it relies on me needing to go over or one of my Swiss friends coming to me.
