Yeah, I guess you have to be brought up on it to like it - various Americans that I have worked with in UK always raved about how they missed Hershey bars etc. When I eventually tried one, I thought it was bogging! Mind you, there's plenty of choccies on the UK market that I find equally distasteful, so maybe it's just me.
All American chocolate and "candy" is complete crap and has been for years. It is somewhat similar to Russin chocolate, the quality of which can be so poor that you really have no idea what they have put in it and what it is supposed to take like. British chocolate is and always will be the best for British tastes. Swiss and Belgian stuff is pretty nice too though.
Just bit into a Reeses chocolate cup thing,
F
ing thing's full of peanut butter.
Don't get me wrong I don't mind the odd nut but this just reminded me of that monty python sketch!!

Cept that the EU doesn't like ours being called chocolate - got too much milk in it for their tastes. But I know which I prefer....... Belgian oooooh yes please!! :yumyum:
I thought the EU's objection to our stuff was the inclusion of vegetable fat. Chocolate should be just cocoa (hence "choco") and milk (hence "late"), apparently.
Thorntons continental, actually any continental

Asda do a budget dark bar, mighty good value and very nice too.
I'm more of a crisp man though: Pickled onion Shocks at the mo - you can get a whole box behind a griff seat..
I can still taste that bloody reeses, ..think i'm going to wretch...

Reece cups, where the peanut butter took the edge off the "chocolate".
Wish there was a warning on the pack before I tried it. Like 'contains foul chocolate coloured wax - and 700 calories of peanut butter - you wont like it:

Green and Blacks choc is pretty good. There is some "fair trade" chocolate which I think you can get from Oxfam which is also nice. Good to support the indiginous peoples of wherever when the multi-nationals treat them like so much dirt.
Having said that I'm not comfortable with the idea of chocolate from Oxfam. Like petrol from from Tescos, it just don't seem right to me.
