Absolutely amazed nobody gave Mars Bars a mention? Penguin,yes, they were horrible, but Mars Bars? And Double Deckers? Oh, and those Chocolate Marzipan bars they cut off in chunks in Blackpool and places.

Edit: Just seen Double Deckers....Apology. :oops:

I was surprised Mars bars weren’t mentioned. Another one that doubles up as a decent icecream bar too. Also partial to a Milky Way (or two).

Penguins are DEFINITELY in the chocolate biscuit category.

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?)

Hmmm...given the original post asked for bars but listed non-bars...

1) Them Lindt red cholate ball things - amazing.
2) Mini eggs - (but not recent ones with the horrible soft and not crunchy shells - why have they changed this?).
3) Drifter
4) Toblerone
5) Snickers

5 - only when hungover
1 and 4 - only at Christmas
3 - can't remember last time I had one.
2 - why have they spoiled them?

Can't say I eat much of the stuff but yeah I'd go with those.

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 :)

If we're on about bars of chocolate, that Tony's chocoloney stuff is un-fecking-real, especially the orange (coloured packet, not flavoured), salted caramel one.

I put off touching it for ages as I can't bear wacky advertising but I got some free and omg.

Whoever mentioned snowflakes...they were phenomenal.

I'd go:

1) KitKat chunky. It's a bar. And the best.
2) Twirl, as above, a flake without the need.
3) Wispa - absolute classic, and superior to the aero imho
4) Lion bar - superb
5) white chocolate Kinder Bueno. Lovely stuff.

I like a chocolate orange but orange flavoured chocolate bars (club et al) are the work of the devil. Not only are they disgusting, they manage to taint anything else you keep in the same box.

Cadbury brought out a plain dark chocolate bar not long back that's worth a mention. Nothing fancy, just plain decent chocolate. (Pity they don't make chocolate limes in bars, that would be the real deal). :)

White chocolate Kinder Bueno???? Are you 6 years old??? Horrific things.......

Chocolate oranges - whilst not bars - are worthy of inclusion if only for the lovely middle piece that comes out as you eat through the segments....

And yes, a Wispa far better than Aero. Probably due to it being the Cadburys version (I know Cadburys chocolate is a bit cheap and nasty, but its bloody good......)

Nope. You need to to know your Tunnocks Tea Cakes from your Caramel Wafers and your Islay from your Speyside round here. That and understanding gibberish 😂
I've recently been introduced to the Dark Chocolate Caramel Wafer. What a bloody triumph that is. :oyea:
Aye, it's a shame I can't get them in the tub of bites format like the milk ones. Having a tub of them to hand that you can just keep popping them in your mouth, whilst dangerous is bloody good :)

On the tail-end of things, absolutely can't stand: Penguin (sickly), Kit Kat (not a patch on Terry's chocolate wafers) Toblerone (vile stuff) most white chocolates, creme eggs (pointless) anything with nuts in it....

Absolutely. First discovered that stuff at Schiphol a few years ago and always buy about a six of the big bars every time I go through.

Imagine my delight to see that it's now stocked by the redoubtable EH Booths :D

Yes Dave, you can have minstrels, good call 😋 but no, no, no to the mint club. Wrong category!

Sainsburys do it down here too. Seems to be in lots of supermarkets now.

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

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!
