The Enigma That Is The Yorkie

Never liked them. An excess of substandard chocolate in my view.


Do they still make them even?

Used to like them but they are another product Nestle ruined. And yes, they still exist, and now in several different varieties!

yorkies always tasted stale for some reason.

That's exactly how they taste! They were great bars when Rowntrees launched them but over the years Nestle have reduced the quality of the chocolate to such an extent that they are now a sad shadow of themselves.


So bad is Nestle chocolate these days that before long they will lose the right to call it chocolate.

Old but spicey!

The original Raisin & Biscuit Yorkie was delicious.  But now of course all varieties are shadows of their former Rowntrees selves.

I haven't had a Yorkie in ages, but I don't think there's anything wrong with them. They're quite satisfying if you're in the mood for a big chunk of regular chocolate, sans caramel or peanuts or anything fancy.

I'm sorry, you may enjoy it, but Yorkie can in no way be thought of as chocolate.

I agree - it's more like chocolate 'flavour'.

To be fair that's probably more to do with it being a Christmas product.

I agree that Yorkie isnt the best, but its not as bad as some of Hersheys chocolate bars. They use something like 10% cocoa solids whereras even Nestle use around 20% in their bars.

Is that why Hersheys tastes like vomit?
