To lighten the mood and thinking of the good ole Christmas Selection Box, I was wondering what peoples’ preferences were?
Excluding a bar of Cadburys Milk, for me it has to be a Mars Bar. It is a wonderful creation. Just pop it in the fridge. When chilled take a sharp knife and cut into chunks in the wrapper to retain any chocolate shards. Slice the wrapper length ways and a parcel of joy will be there before you.
Unsurpassed. [Post edited 2 Nov 2023 15:59]

I used to always have a Mars bar in my lunchbox when I was at school.
Recently, I've taken a liking to Aldi's own double choc (white and milk chocolate). Too much is sickly, but a little is lovely. |  | | |

Very few votes for Bounty on this methinks.
Got to be a Star Bar. Closely followed by a crunchy |  |

So true. I'm not sure what people think the salad drawer is for, if it isn't to be filled with chocolate. |
The salad drawer is also there for beers.
One name not mentioned is Caramac. I could never decide whether I liked or loathed it. | | | |

Thank you for giving this important question the in depth thought it deserved. I totally agree with your working out and conclusion. Plus;

Things like After Eight in ‘bar’ form like the pic didn’t exist when I was a kid. They were in a little box for Christmas and that was it. And eating them was kind of rationed. Somebody gave us a box of them last Christmas. They were ok but not the treat I remembered them to be. | | | |

The artist formerly known as Mintola. Loved these as a kid, the more sophisticated big sister of Munchies. |  |

It's not a bar, individual sweets a bit like Munchies. They've been around under different names since the 60s. | |

I buy whatever chocolate bar my kids don't like to avoid having to give any of it away. Which is a Bounty for now as they dislike coconut. |  | | |

Anything that had chocolate and came out of the same cabinet, I’ve allowed.
The individual sweet version of After Eights are not After Eights as I know them, i.e the square flat jobs in individual wrappers in a cellophane wrapped box!
Mintola etc: not the same as AEs. Fry’s peppermint cream bar? Nope | | | |

The ones Buhrer posted are the direct descendants of Mintola, it's their second rebranding after initially becoming known as Mint Munchies for a time. | |

Boost is the undisputed champion of the chocolate bar world.
We all know it. |
Slightly rippled with a flat underside. |  | | |

Descendants?? Rebranding is not the same as DNA lineage😀! The rebranding of mintola or mint munchies into the band name of After Eights doesn’t make them After Eights. | | | |

No, it makes them Mintola by a different name, which has been my point all along. | |

Your 20's Mars Bars is your 90's Milky Way in terms of meatiness. It's a sad, sad world.
May I include a big ol' bar of Cadburys Old Gold rum and raisin in dark chocolate, along with some Coca Cola and an eighth?
Edit: Old Jamaica Rum 'n Raisin, that's what it's called. My memory's shot. [Post edited 2 Nov 2023 20:44]

Can't help but think that would be better washed down with a Tizer or a chocolate milk |  | | |

To be honest the ones I used to glut on in the 80s weren't Mintolas or after eights, some other brand... |  | | |

There were a few about back in the day. I wasn’t that fussed about mint related chocolate tbh. | | | |

Yeah, that's crazy talk. Mint and chocolate go together like Woolfy at the back and Chappers in attack. | |

Anyone mentioned the Curly Wurly ?, eat one of those at the right temperature and it was chewy enough to take your fillings out. | | | |

Wow! 2 up votes! You people are animals. The only thing worse then defiling chocolate with mint is to add alcohol to it | | | |

Cadbury's Fuse and of course Time Out worth mentioning
Rowntrees's Cabana a rare beast in 80's 90's
Curly Wurly, a bigger version then, than now, started out in 1970,
but still a classic.
Mars still reigns despite its diminutive current 51g size
ably assisted by its wingman the lightweight but ever
popular Milky Way.
Standout contenders for me were Aztec, Topic, Marathon
later to be Snickers, Lion Bar, Picnic, anything Mars like with addition of nuts.
Crunchie tasty but the honeycomb really tests your fillings...&Munchies..Mmmm | | | |

Fuse bars were the best. Why oh why were they discontinued?!
McVities Gold Bars are delicious.
Doesn't count but dark chocolate Lindt Lindor truffles are the greatest chocolate product. | | | |

Tim Tams are the best, also remember the packs of club biscuits from iceland great value and such chunky chocolate on them. |
I'm loathe to praise anything australian, but Tim Tams are the right answer.. |  |
