What is the BEST Chocolate Bar?

[salesman24]

I always thought that TWIX was the best chocolate bar...but now I wonder if there is really a better chocolate bar out there. What is truly the best chocolate?:confused:

[hellohi]

Do some people say you eat too many chocolate bars:?:

Do some people say you eat too many chocolate bars:?:

Lol....yeah cuz i always have a TWIX bar in my hand, I need something new!

[4flava]

I only eat chocolate bars once in a blue moon but if I do it's gonna be Coffee Crisp.

[Ma_Jie]

Generally speaking, the BEST chocolate bars are bittersweet in character. Milk chocolate is ghastly because all you taste is sugar -- not chocolate. I'd recommend a Vahlrona or Sharffen-Berger 70% chocolate bar.

coffee crisp is also nice.

[Chuck Chorus]

It would depend on one's personal taste and preferences.

I might say to myself Mars Bars are the best things ever invented by man..

and then I'd come across a person who would laugh in my face and tell me that Oh Henry is the way to go.

[3weddings]

My grocery store linup choice would be a Kit Kat......but I go through phases, I was addicted to Mr Big and Areo for a long time. Hubby just reminded me that during my 1st pregnancy it was M&Ms Peanut..lol

If I am looking for something a little more refined, I want a Toblerone or Ritter Sport Dark.

And when I find one, I go for a Milka bar!!

[stegby]

I sell Chocolate bars


Top 3 by sales in Canada

Mars
Snickers
Coffe Crisp

[molala]

Bueno. I called it the Kinder Suprise Egg choclate bar. Whenever I buy it, I either have to finish it before I get home or I have to buy at leasr 4 or 5 of them cos everyone in the house loves it!!! Geez....I think I should buy a case from Costco:cheesygri

Coffee Crisp for sure! I used to be a HUGE twix fan too... but not anymore.

[redmaple]

MIRAGE!!
it's like Aero but better. It's just unfortunate that it's really hard to find.

yeah bueno is also soo good, cuz it tastes good with light biscuit and chocolate.

[RedQueen]

it has to be Cadbury.. Fruit and nut.. (UK one is preferred).:cheesygri

[Billa-786]

while studying or on long trips----Snickers hands down.

For pleasuring my taste buds....BOunty. Dark bounty even more...but we don't get that here. Seems people either love bounty or hate it.

[XxXSnake23XxX]

Snickers
it has a bit of everything

[flito ray]

snickers really satisfies.

i hate bounty. it gives me the runs.

[gh05t]

+1 Don't know about the UK ones but the Canadian ones tastes better than the US ones.

Neilson's Chocolairs which are no more has to be the best bar I've ever tasted.

For non bar chocolates, the lindt balls in the red wrappers with the soft centers.

[axeray]

My fav is Cadbury Fruit n Nut as well. Very nice.

[monty613]

Skor

I had a homemade version once at a party and I think they were made with soda crackers (sounds weird, but it was close to the real thing!)

[Gloaming]

Triple chocolate Twix

[fuddleduddle]

not a chocolate bar but, tim tams rock.

[Keelie]

for me, its ritter sport rum and raisin.. mmmmmm

wonderbar, twix and reese peanut butter cups are all good too.
had a peanut butter twix across the line in the summer, it was really good, hope they come here soon.

[torontoraptor]

Twix is the best.

Snickers, Mars and Kit Kat Chunky Caramel are also good.

[ephemera]

wonderbar ftw

Put your bars in the freezer too.

[Exas]

Nothing beats Cadbury Dream.

http://www.normanstiff.com/large%20images/cadbury%20dream.jpg

[nsX-]

any type of chocolate that contains hazel nuts or almonds is good , lindors or ferrero rocchet.

[raymondly]

wonderbar ftw

Put your bars in the freezer too.

+Eleventy

[ji_hyun_jun]

+1 for bueno.

[Formula 1]

I like Coffee Crisp as well. Drifter bars imported from the UK are awesome but too expensive and hard to find. It is kind of like Twix but better.

http://www.nestle.co.uk/OurBrands/AboutOurBrands/ConfectioneryAndCakes/Other+Chocolate+Bars.htm

[Tijuana]

Snickers Ice Cream Bar

http://icecreamplanet.com/AA.snickers.jpg

[Papagorgio]

i love reeses pieces, and coffee crisp... but it seems like i should try a bueno bar.. :razz:

[iris1026]

Cadbury Dark Chocolate...yummy!

[dap_pad]

CRUNCH!!! They're hard to find nowadays :D But they're really good HAHA

[baz5]

lol I knew what that was as soon as you said it.

[Chuck Chorus]

I like Bounty on the occasion.

Can't stand Crunch or Crunchie too much though. Yuck not me.

[boonjaca]

My vote goes to Kit Kat.

[Rx-87]

Snickers Ice Cream Bar

http://icecreamplanet.com/AA.snickers.jpg

wow.. never had one or seen one..

Is this for real?? If so.. probably in the states? That or I just don't go grocery shopping enough =P

[Papagorgio]

http://www.candyrageous.com/

a great review site!

[sonia082]

AERO all the way!!!

[angekfire]

Reese's peanut butter cups.

Aero, Wonderbar & snickers are all good too though.

[terrybear]

Nothing beats Cadbury Dream.

http://www.normanstiff.com/large%20images/cadbury%20dream.jpg

EWWWWWWWWWW & white chocolait isn't real chocolait anyways.

the 3 that where quoted as the top sellers I agree with are ones I love also, I also have to add the mars dark & almond ones, reeses peanut butter cups, kit kat, 3 muskateers, aero, wunderbar, butterfinger, big turk & the laura secord choco-mint bars as well to some I enjoy at times. Oh henry & mr big are the same thing I prettymuch.

nuts & chocolait are ALWAYS yummy. presidents choice makes some yummy large choco bars, mind ya $4 a bar is exspencive but definatly worth the $.

[Chew300ZX]

Skor!

Otherwise, my general rule is anything with dark chocolate is A-OK! :cheesygri

[CHINAdeals]

chcolair.

i can't even find a pic of it anymore

[salt_26]

Lidnt Orange Intense Dark Choclate mmm . i cant help eating the whole thing in a jiff , althought i try not to buy it that often.

[Davedigger]

Cadbury Burnt Almond or Cadbury Premium Dark Thins.

[ott_wrench]

i like the Zero and Zero Dark bars

[evanx]

[joeblowyy]

Charleston Chew - now that's going back. Found bits of this in the kids halloween bags.
Fruit and Nut is great.
Kit Kat Chunky is much better than regular.

[1xTiMeR]

I'm not sure if this was mentioned, as i'm not going to read the other 3 pages. The exact terminology is in fact "candy bar", not chocolate bar. Thus, my favorite candy bar is coffee crisp

:cheesygri with yellow teeth =O

[legendofxix]

MIRAGE!!
it's like Aero but better. It's just unfortunate that it's really hard to find.
Mirage is hard to find? I see them all the time at Dollarama
Cadbury Dark Chocolate...yummy!
These things are soooo damn good.
Cadbury Burnt Almond or Cadbury Premium Dark Thins.
AHHH Burnt almond is probably my favourite because I love almonds.
If I open one up, it'll be gone in <1 minute.

[dealiah]

Green & Black's organic dark chocolate!

Best flavour is Mayan Gold = orange.

Just to have a little sweet hit; never like all at once (yuck)

[jv08]

I like Mars and snickers but my favorite is Cadbury fruit and nut.

[GoFoodGo]

Lindt Dark Chocolate 70%

[molala]

Anyone ever tried the Lindt Chili 70% Dark Chocolate Bar? They are available in the States and sounded like a different experience

[shannn]

Anyone ever tried the Lindt Chili 70% Dark Chocolate Bar? They are available in the States and sounded like a different experience

They have them here too! I've seen them at SDM, Walmart and Metro/Dominion.
They are okay, kind of an acquired taste. They kind of mess with you, because they are sweet and spicey at the same time (not too spicey though, although I can handle spice...so it may differ for others)

Has anyone seen those chocolates at lablaws/RCSS that are dark chocolate encrusted with sea salt? That sounds gross, but interesting....

BTW, CRUNCHIE FTW! I love the crunchiness, then how it all melts in your mouth together!
Cadbury dark burnt almond / Cadbury dark fruit and nut come a distant 2nd

[lindmar]

Toblerone while in switzerland.
I dont know why but it tastes amazing when you're there.

[jerichoblade]

Anyone know where to get Green & Blacks chocolate bars in Vancouver? Craving chocolate atm.

[caper1175]

My vote goes to Wunderbar.

[GBA]

Twix, as original poster stated...although used to be snickers.

on a partial side note, clodhoppers and reese's cups, but they're not chocobars, per se. I've got a bad sweet tooth :(

[gmark2000]

Skor!

Ditto for Skor!

[hightech]

The only chocolate I like is the good stuff. Here are some links:

That's what I figured with the Chili Dark Chocolate...

Dark Chocolate with sea salt? Reminded me of people who put salt on watermelon..:|

[SkeeterJohn]

For me my favourite has always been a Cadbury's Double Decker.

Unfortunately they aren't available in most Canadian stores BUT thankfully you can get them at Sugar Mountain which sells items from various countries. Prior to that there was a store in niagara-on-the-lake which sold them.


http://www.chocablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/double%20decker.jpg

The lower deck of this bar is crispy crunchy cereal and the upper deck is a chewy nougatine; all wrapped in milk chocolate.

Looks good. I have to try it if I can find it. I like the Lion Bar which is sorta similar. They can be found at the Pickering Flea Market where the UK stuff is sold.

[Ma_Jie]

Dark chocolate with sea salt is hardly odd. Indeed, in baking and dessert applications, good chocolate will benefit from a pinch of salt.

- MJ.

[monty613]

Abba Zabba, you my only friend

http://www.sodapopstop.com/images/products/large_364.jpg

[Eyies]

Kit kats and all variants of kit kats (though I like some more than others)

Original, Dark, Chunky, Peanut Butter

Then the exotic ones: green tea, yogurt, strawberry, orange, mint, white,.. and a tonne more. I want to try the ultra-rare mango one. Arghh need to go to Japan and try all the exotic kit kats.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit_Kat

Kit Kats are the uncontested king of the chocolate bar world imo. Good balance in sweetness, nice light crispy wafer.. no nasty tooth-clinging stuff. And a tonne of exotics :D

[monomono]

Not a bar, but cabury's mini eggs are really good.

[bonita!]

I like York peppermint patties but then again I love mint chocolate chip ice cream too. Also I don't like Hershey's chocolate. It tastes kinda weird.

[MMmichael]

Coffee Crisp. Duh. Every child knows that coffee crisp is the best since like birth. Lol.

[hightech]

Just keep in mind that some of that UK stuff has very short dates. I heard that they even take some nail polish remover to remove the dates and sell the product.

Not specifically products made in UK has a very short shelf life. They usually have an ealier expiry date of many products compared to the ones that are made in NA because the humidity in the climate are much higher compared to NA. If you buy a UK products and bring it to NA, it'll have a longer shelf life.

[kgen]

TWIX! followed closely by the ever so awesome nestle crunch

[HolyPotato]

I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but my hands-down favourite is Hershey's Special Crisp. I haven't seen one in Canada for like 2 decades, but they're sold as Hershey's Whatchamacallit in the States. Last time I went to Chicago, I brought an empty small duffel and cleaned out 3 Walgreens.

Rice crisps, peanut butter, caramel, milk chocolate... mmm. Now if anyone has the connections to get a group buy started on bringing a truckload of those up from the US, you give me a call!

[LuLu2]

coffee crisp

[spazzamatic]

coffee crisp

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

iloveee coffeee crisppp, skor and caramilk ==)
ohh an bueno, i think thats how u spell it

[lovepizza]

twix is one of my favorites...but i have to say IKEA FOODS hazelnut chocolate bar is THE best!
they sell them right by the cash wrap. 0.99 each i think. gotta try it.

[gordholio]

The original question should be, what chocolate bar do you like the best?
There is no best chocolate bar, just the one that you like.
I'm partial to the ones I grew up with and have a long history, like Mars bars and Kit Kat bars.
But, I rarely eat candy, since I have diabetes.

[hardcandy1911]

No one mentioned Caramilk!!

Anyways my top 3;

Caramilk
Twix
KitKat

[soupnazi]

I usually go for Coffee Crisp, then Twix. Sometimes Twix has too much coconut.;)

[Rx-87]

Valrhona chocolates


Expensive expensive expensive..

But very rich in texture and flavor.

They produce more "dark chocolates" and specialty stuff, rather than your everyday milk chocolate bars.

Also an expensive ingredient in the semi to professional patisseries..

One of the many brands of supposed "high class chocolatiers" ;)

Course most people "including myself" can't really tell the difference BUT It does have a much deeper taste I find than Lindt's line of stuff


http://www.valrhona.com/indexEn.php?vlang=A#


TRY IT ! ! ! !! ! To see if you can find a difference in this than your everyday chocolate bar :razz:

[crunked]

I love these two!!!

[ould]

+1 on the Dairy Milk Crunchie above. My GF brought some of these back from England for me and I devoured them!! :cheesygri

+1 on Milka too, a guy at work gave me one recently, it was Great.

I like the Ritter Sports too. Specifically the one with the cookie wafer in it and the Dark Mousse one, the best Jerry, the best!!

Also the lindt balls are great too. Mmmmm lindt!!!

[Paranoidandroid]

I'm not big on chocolate, but I never pass up on Skor, Crunch, Coffee Crisp, or Crispy Crunch :D

[ES_Revenge]

I like Oh Henry! though I don't eat it very often. Most "regular" bars with peanuts or almonds are my preferences. Snickers, Cadbury Fruit & Nut or Hazlenut/Whole Nut, are all good.

There used to be this Lindt bar back in the day called "Alba" but it hasn't been available (in Canada anyway) in ages :( And mentioning Lindt I pretty much love anything they make apart from the dark chocolate (I hate dark chocolate!); I also dislike Lindor (which isn't "real" Lindt IMO) but those are not "bar" chocolate anyway.

[Davedigger]

I forgot Eatmore! With a glass of milk though. Can't eat it on it's own.

[Ma_Jie]

I'm with Rx-87: Vahlrona is one of the best chocolatiers in the world. If you can't taste the difference between a bar of their exquisite chocolate and an American candy bar, you clearly have a culinarily-useless pallette.

- MJ.

[duckdown]

Sometimes Twix has too much coconut.;)

lol, seinfeld

[Spike]

I tried a Caramilk a while ago and they appear to be using different "modified milk ingredients" than they did ~10 years ago. They have a really awful taste. I noticed the same taste in another "caramel" filled bar made by Hershey as well so it must be a trend.

Poulain is my goto brand for dark chocolate. Most Valhronas are too fruity.

[gordholio]

I saw photographs of a factory in Australia where they make a chocolate wafer snack called "Tim Tams". Looked quite interesting and delicious. I wish they had them in Canada; apparently they have them in the States now.

I'll go out on a limb and say Western Family 100g Dark Chocolate 72% cocoa.

By far the best value for the dark chocolates.

[tabiji]

Toblerone or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups :)

[monty613]

College Square in Ottawa.

I haven't bought any for a few months, but I'm certain I've seen them recently. They're in the cookie aisle grouped with a bunch of other import cookies.

I looked several times in August and September for them at College Square and never saw them. I've also looked at the Barrhaven location for them and still no luck.

[hungryfordeals]

What about the bars that used to be? You know, I'm talking back in the '70's. One of my favourites growing up had to be from Lowneys. It was called 'Nut Milk'. Nothing fancy, not double chocolate or triple peanut butter...just simply Peanuts and Chocolate. It was a long thin bar in a brown wrapper with white writing. Who remembers this one and what other ones can we think of? :-0

[monty613]

'Nut Milk'

:|

[gordholio]

I've always liked Mars bars. I eat the chocolate coating first (kind of chip it off with my teeth) and then the rest.
I remember eating candy when I was young; I was at a movie theatre and was eating McIntosh toffee and one of my teeth was pulled out.
When I ate it, I would form it to the roof of my mouth and take it out and look at it! I guess I had seen my folks with their dentures and was trying to make one out of toffee.

[gordholio]

:|

This is not regarding the chocolate bar, but I've read that nut milk (for example, almond milk) is pretty good for you.

[originalnutta]

My mom used to love this one from the UK.
