I prefer butter cups, but they're more of an intense peanut butter experience.  Quite salty...  I wasn't that keen on the PB kitkat.

no no, blue ribands are this kinda wafery thing.  They're similar to er... taxis?  Now I'm getting confused.  Basically they're a wafer covered with chocolate, but there's so much air in them, and it's not normal air, it's like... the most awful air ever.  If I may be slightly crude for a second - it's like they managed to seal a fart in every bar.

New Products / Aero Truffle

I didn't think it tasted particularly different to a regular Aero.  A once off buy for me, I'm afraid.  I'm not the biggest NestlĂ© fan, as it happens.

Discontinued? / Chocolate Bar Challenge

Just a little update:


Things are still going well.  Major hits so far have been the Texan, and Dairy Milk Turkish (I get very mixed reactions whenever I mention that).


I'm slowly working my way there.  Still a little confusion as to what actually is available and what isn't.  It seems there are a few 'Wonka' bars back in the mix, 2 of which I've already tried.  A trip to Woolworths is on the cards this week, so I can cross off Fry's Orange Cream and the final Wonka bar (unless there are more than three).


I have been doing some voting on the site, btw.  I felt it's the least I could do to give something back.

I have to say, I wasn't particularly keen.  I mean, they were alright, but I don't see any reason why they're better than the milk chocolate variety.  Just different...

... and the same probably goes for the aeros.  In retrospect, I probably should have made a list of all chocolate bars rather than just the ones I haven't tried.  It'd make it a lot less confusing.

Thanks a lot.  I've already had a few milky bar choos in my time, along with milky bar and smarties of course, so they didn't make the list.  I'll look into the whole Lindt situation.  I'm going into town today, so I should be able to cross off a few, or at least buy them.

I was addicted to Boosts for about a year, but my appetite for them has faded recently.  I felt lost and bewildered every time I went to buy a chocolate bar.  I needed some direction in my chocolate eating life, and after some thought, I felt that this was it.  I'm afraid it's not for charity, or any kind of dare.  I think I'm probably slightly odd and also a little bored with everything.


Thanks ever so much for the info, smurfboy - the list will be updated accordingly.  I'd buy you a chocolate bar in thanks if I could.  I also agree about the CDM selection.  I was in a moment of disillusion with them after trying the mint chip.


I managed to cross of mars delight from my list today.  I'll probably aim for one every day, or it could end up being an incredibly unhealthy hobby.

First post here, so hi everybody.


I'm embarking on a chocolate eating adventure.  I'm attempting to try all commercially available chocolate bars in Britain (within reason).  I've used the list on this website, but having done so, I've discovered that many of the bars listed are no longer in circulation.  I'd be incredibly appreciative of some guidance as to which of the bars on my list have been discontinued.  Also, if there are any new chocolate bars not on the website list, which I may have missed, I'd like to add them to the list.


The list is here: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&f riendID=18326863&blogID=84436688&MyToken=20f0c8bf-0c 8e-4ef3-bf32-b008be605fec


Yes, I'm afraid it is a myspace blog.  You're all probably gonna look at me as a chocolate eating newbie, but I'll get there.  I'm hoping to have the list near-completed by Easter.  Also, I'll probably swing by these forums every now and again to let you know how I'm getting on.  Thanks in advance.
