What makes a good chocolate bar?

Banned Account

So, I decided to have a kit-kat yesterday for the first time in ages and, to be honest, was left feeling underwhelmed - wafer - what's that all about. I reckon that wafer in a chocolate bar is one step too close to health food.

I reckon, to qualify for the mantle of "chocolate bar" there has to be gooey stuff in the middle - toffee, caramel etc - peanuts are a bonus as well as crispy things. Double deckers, snickers, star bars - they'd all be classed as chocolate bars in my book.

Snacks and kit kats can feck off - uninventive ****e!

What's your all time favourite chocolate bar and why?

Dairy Milk ftw.

One of the only things I missed about home when I was away.

One that you can eat layers off of, in a few different ways. Double Decker is good for this.

I like the wafer in the Kit Kat personally, and I would hardly call it health food. Personally, I am partial to Peanut M&M's.

This is something I've noticed about the way in which womenfolk tend to eat chocolate bars, eating the layers separately, whereas menfolk seem to prefer the idea of enjoying a sample of all layers in a single bite.. How strange.

I hate chocolate.

Sometimes I'll do half & half, just to mix things up a bit. Chomp down the first half in a conventional manner then toy with and savour the rest.

Has to be bar shaped. And made of chocolate. And taste good.

I have a balanced diet so usually an aero in one hand and a dairy milk in the other.

Cheap Thrills!

chocolate and caramel=yummy....:pac:

chocolate+nuts=a rancid abomination :mad:

pickarooney

I'd like to see an amalgamation of the glory of Belgian/Swiss chocolate with the fillings of British/Irish chocolate, like crunchie, moro or toffee crisp but without the greasy abomination that is Cadbury's 'chocolate'.

jigglywoo

Tunnock's Caramel Wafers

They could do with more chocolate on the outside though mmm

stovelid

Women don't want to eat half of it on you.

Cheap Thrills!

Also; currents, sultanas and any other nasty brown, shrivelly, fruit thing have NO PLACE in confectionary !!!

*shakes fist at inventors of said foulness*

Kit Kats have to be straight out of the fridge, a complete waste otherwise.

Have always thought that bars of chocolate that are textured, like Twirls, Flakes or Wispas, always taste so much better. Even though they are just chocolate like a Dairy Milk. I love, love, love chocolate with crispy bits, Cadbury's Mint and Golden Crisp, or Nestle Dairy Crunch:D. Double Deckers are sexual, they have the crispy crunchiness on the bottom, the soft nougat top AND Cadbury's chocolate.







Wipes dribble on sleeve....

Don't eat chocolate much anymore but you need a bar with a bit of eating in it, snickers, moro etc! The caramel really gets the jaws going. Not a fan of bars where two bites and it's gone.

Tbh I'd eat any chocolate bar except dark chocolate.....unless it's for laxative purposes :eek:

Wazdakka

Yorkies and KitKat chunkys.
Big, solid, dense blocks of chocolate is what you want.

I mean seriously... Who the hell likes wispas??

It has to be a dairy milk..........melted all over a womans boobies:D:D

Parsley

well, if it's a StarBar you're off to a good start.

Now this is the kind of chocolate i could get into

fonecrusher1

Ive only just seen this thread & i literally did a cartwheel backwards through a window onto the street. Double-glazing, i hate you.

Here are my thoughts. Lets us pray.

Pink snack bars, tracker bars & those rice crispie bars you can all fcuk off. They're all bluffers. None of them are real choc bars. Except for kitkats, anything with wafer (even typing this word makes me gag) is rubbish, wafer is like a filler, something cheap to bulk up a product. Example, Lion bars? Waaay too much wafer & not enough good stuff. Fail. Anything with raisins....out... I SAID OUT. Milky way?.....a little wimp of a thing, too weak to enjoy. Get yur bags & baggage.

Lets move on, what would i consider a decent chocolate bar? you say, breathing heavily & moaning slightly. For me theres 2 sorts. Choc bar A is a great hunger buster & yummy, Choc bar B is just sexy tastey.

A - Snickers, twix, mars, moro, yorkie, Kitkat, doubledecker, drifter.

B - twirl, flake, Dairymilk (goldencrisp,caramello, mint) choco buttons, nestle caramel, nestle munchies, crunchie.

Yes but whats my favourite? you cry thrusting your thumbs into your eyes & screaming like lambs being slaughtered. At the moment i loikes a crunchie with a glass of milk. Lubberly.

Amen.

I think you should be allocated a daily limit for the amount of flirty / slutty posts that you're allowed to make.

Mmmmmmm there's been a few good things mentioned above. Twix does it for me on a daytoday basis. You can't beat a good 2 for 1 deal. I used to enjoy a double decker on occasion but haven't been there recently. The crispies feel a bit like the wafer oft' mentioned above - padding! But recently I came across wonderful Aldi's wonderful Hazelnut Heaven. Big bar! Crunchy whole hazelnuts! nice choc. (Dairy milk makes me gag - cheap nasty sh1te). And of course for a Friday treat, if you're luck enough to have an Amnesty shop nearby, try their choc bars. Milk, 60%, 70%, praline... Any of them. crack open the sealed wrapper for a blast of choc aromas and then enjoy square by tiny square til they're all gone. And then check for crumbs. Delicious.

Sorry, I might have to go out for a couple of minutes after that.

Had a mars bar about 2 weeks ago for the first time in maybe 10 years, oh my f'ucking god- how did i ever stop eating anything so delicious in the first place, i've had about a dozen since then, obesity and heart disease are quite frankly a price worth paying!:D
Also as an aside - has anyone noticed biscuits in aldi called diso biscuits! Ha, for a whole new generation of ravers no doubt!

Yeah, that was some chocolate bar. Do you remember a few years ago when they brought wispas back, then took them away again just as quickly? That was cruel. My friend went to a cash & carry and bought a box of them in case of emergency.

Not a fan of the wispa gold/mint phase. Or minature bars like the tiny dairy milks, you need about three of them otherwise you're just teasing yourself. I can't believe toblerone hasn't been mentioned :eek:

Anyone tried a deep fried Mars Bar, have yet to sample the unique delights of one but hear they are lovely!

Big Pint of milk and a dairy milk. That's it really.

All good chocolate needs to be enjoyed with a pint of milk.

Except when Tayto Cheese and Onion are involved. This is a scenario where you're going to need some coke.

I couldn't be more of a city boy. Is your assumption based on the premise that only country people eat Tayto crisps? The crisp from Coolock. Really? Was that it? Or maybe it's cause of the milk...sure only country people drink milk
