Apologies if already mentioned, but if you go out and buy one thing today, MAKE IT THESE.

I've only tried the hazlenut ones but OH MY GOOD GOD
 
It reminds me of an expensive Crunch bar (which are top tier in my opinion.)
Just finished a Hotel Chocolate selection box I got for Xmas... Very disappointed 😥 it was about 30quid and tastes of calendar chocolate. I am clearly not classy enough for the finer things in life.
However, I had one of the Cadbury egg bars the other day.... Oh HELLO 👌 I can't buy anymore as I will just eat them all.

I tried the Cadburys hot cross bun chocolate bar not that keen TBH. The raisins were nice but the cinnamon crunch was a bit hard.

Those Mars Bites and the Cadbury’s Mini Eggs look so delicious!
Here in France, I can get bars of Tony’s Chocolony for about 3€. I love the milk choc with nougat pieces and the milk choc with caramel. Ienjoy how thick the bars are and how the pieces are different sizes and shapes.
A new B&M type shop called Normal opened near me about a year ago, but I have only just discovered it. I fond some milk chocolate Aero bars and aCadbury’s one that had some sort of brownie bits and pieces of toffee or caramel in it which was so so good!

I wonder how many are in exactly the same size packaging?

The chocolate orange box doesn't look any smaller.

Apparently the G&B chocolate bar was made smaller ages ago, but they made it flatter to mask the decrease. I'm sure they've made another change to actually make it smaller now.
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned but after eight strawberry and mint,
or orange and mint,
or even worse mango and pineapple or gin and mint.

No. No. Stop it.
The gin ones are AMAZING!!! Better than the standard! Didn’t like any of the others though…

I'm a dark chocolate fan. My favourite at the minute is Bournville buttons .

I also like the fry's chocolate creams if I fancy a bit flavour.

I love Betty Crocker's chocolate fudge topping , it's so indulgent
Can you get Marou chocolate in Europe/US? The dark and Kumquat…on my god!!!

Where in France did you find those?? Anywhere near Charente Maritime?
 
Ooh, is this good? I am obsessed with Mini Eggs - does it do them justice?
I’m giving a different opinion. Normal mini eggs are so much better! I wouldn’t buy the mini eggs and again it’s just like a diary milk bar with mini smarties in. To me it’s just the cadburys marvellous creations jelly popping candy bar without the popping candy and jelly bits.

In the Ile de France area, just outside Paris. Tony chocolate is available in Monoprix, and the Normal shop is in a mall in the Paris suburbs called La Défense.
