Top 5 of all time...

[Gooner Girl]

1. Twirl (benefits of a flake without the mess)
2. Minstrels (can I have these even though they are not strictly a "bar")
3. Cadburys boost
4. Mars bar (particularly the old king size ones)
5. Mint Club (biscuit or chocolate bar?)

I reckon you're due a visit from the Itsnotabar Police Dept.

I know. Its a risk.
If any of the above are deemed ineligible, then honourable mentions to:

Kit Kat chunky
Twix
Dairy milk

Also both ineligible. Tsk.

We've already established that Kit Kat Chunky is a chocolate bar

I may be outvoted but I’m standing firm due to the fact it has biscuit in!

[Gooner Girl]

So, top 5 chocolate biscuits of all time anyone? (the type you have after lunch not from a barrel with your cuppa)

1. White chocolate twix
2. Normal twix
3. Trio (triiiiiioooooooo)
4 Wagon wheel (with jam obvs)
5. Kit Kat

Honourable mention to the gold bar for pure nostalgic value)!

Hold on - warped this. Chocolate biscuits doesn't include chocolate biscuits?!?!?!

Bizarre.

Chocolate biscuits should start with chocolate digestives and chocolate hob-nobs.

No, there’s 3 quite clear categories here if you pay attention Worthy. Chocolate bars we have just done, chocolate biscuits that are generally wrapped individually and in packets for your lunch box and biscuits you have with a cuppa such as borbons, digestives and custard creams, some may have chocolate on, that is true, but clearly not the same category. Really Worthy, I know you’re getting on a bit but do try and keep up!

Woah. Woah. Woah! We need an independent adjudicator to determine categories and what goes in them. You can’t have minstrels in with chocolate bars, just because you like them! Similarly, Kit Kat chunky is primarily chocolate and thus a chocolate bar. You can’t go allocating categories willy nilly. This is serious business!

I agree. To qualify as a biscuit, dunkability needs to come into it. Only a weirdo would dunk a Twix.

[Prufrock]

A KitKat chunky is clearly far more of a chocolate bar than mini eggs or minstrels, what with it being, you know, a bar.

[Bruce Rioja]

If we do something similar re The Biscuit World Cup, then that's just a race for runner-up behind Border's Dark Chocolate Gingers, of which I've just had three with a pint of coffee

We will crack on with biscuits from the barrel you have with a hot drink after the next category which is biscuits your mum would put in your pack lunch seeing as everyone’s trying to include Kit Kat’s in the wrong category!

Sounds good to me.

Which category do Viscounts come under?

The same category as Jaffa cakes? Ie no one quite knows?!

Ok. You have a fair point there but this year I have purchased a mini egg chocolate bar you know...

Nooooooo, not at all. Jaffa cake is legally a cake. Been tested in court.

[Prufrock]

It's a cake for VAT purposes. Goes hard when it goes off whereas a biscuit goes soft was one of the factors. They even took don't along for the judges.

Though one think that's always baffled me is it being a cake meant it wasn't VATable, as cakes are not luxuries where as biscuits are. Wtf?! Decadent bastards.

Finally. Justice (of sorts) for the Kit Kat chunky!

You don't find any "Let them eat biscuits" type famous quotations. Cake is clearly an established necessity of the proletariat.

As I 'work in the industry' I can tell you...

Biscuits
kitkats
viscounts
clubs
trio
gold bar
blue riband
penguin
tunnocks caramel wafers

Chocolate bars
kitkit chunky
twix

Who the feck knows
Tunnocks Tea Cakes, though it is found in the biscuit section of wholesalers and sits next to caramel wafers in my shop.

Jaffa Cakes are just stale cake with orange jelly and chocolate flavour coating.

I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest a 4th category (controversial, I know) for miscellaneous chocolate items to incorporate tunnocks tea cakes, snowballs etc. All in agreement, raise your right hand

The Scottish Snowball has also been deemed by a court to be a cake.

2. Dairy Milk £1 bar
3. Galaxy Milk £1 bar
4. Frys Peppermint Cream

5. Galaxy Milk Std bar

And in 6th place Galaxy Milk £1 bar

Clearly everyone was skint in February as sales were down over 50% on January.

They’re Scottish. Clearly making the January purchases last as long as possible!

Interesting that Kit Kat chunky was top of the hit parade in January, then dropped like a stone. Were they on offer?
