| What's the best bar of chocolate? 21:31 - Dec 1 with 2916 views | Dubtractor | An important question to be covered on a Monday night I reckon. Gotta be a Snickers though, hasn't it? It's got the lot, chocolate, nougat, caramel, peanuts, and it really satisfies. [Post edited 2 Dec 18:18]

| What's the best bar of chololate? on 16:20 - Dec 2 by iamatractorboy | I once had a Kitkat Chunky where something must have gone wrong on the production line because the wafer was missing so it was pure chocolate. Best. Thing. Ever. |
I got one of those too. Best day of my life. |  |

The Wispa has been ruined more badly than twirl. Greasy mouth feel that never used to be there. |  | |  |
| What's the best bar of chololate? on 17:08 - Dec 2 with 267 views | iamatractorboy | I've read a few comments above saying they prefer the choc out of the fridge. I used to be that way but then read that the cold means you can't taste the flavour as well (bit like beer that's too cold). So you might enjoy the firmness more (ooerr), and I get that, but you're missing out on the richness. Anyway, I would like to offer up Lindt truffles, specifically the dark chocolate ones. Ok, it's cheating because they're not bars, but they're too good to miss out. |  | |  |

| What's the best bar of chololate? on 15:01 - Dec 2 by Benters | When I have a Crunchie I have to nibble the chocolate off first 👍 |
That’s a yellow card offence! You can’t split them up! The Crunchie needs chilling a little, then the choc and honeycomb stuff munched together! Now a Tunnocks marsh mallow choc tea cake (ok, not a chocolate bar) is a different story. I defy anyone not to crack the chocolate dome off first. |  | |  |

| What's the best bar of chololate? on 09:52 - Dec 2 by GlasgowBlue | Fruit in chocolate is just plain wrong. I asked one of my daughters to pick me up a bar of whole nut and she came back with fruit and nut. I have left her out of my will. |
Whole nut is a cracking shout. |  |

The correct answer, of course, is Old Jamaica. edit: Subconsciously, you are clearly already aware of this fundamental truth given the Freudian slip in the title of your post, '...lol...'.

Christ, I've had to re read my OP a number of times before spotting this, even after you've highlighted it! |  |

It was only yesterday after munching a Dinky Decker and claiming one of my five a day that I learned the raisins have been missing from a Double Decker since the mid 80's. I think it's the placebo effect. I was shocked and am seeking counselling. |  |

I occasionally think I should have grown out of eating this sort of stuff by now, but chocolate is bloody brilliant isn't it? |  |

Dinky deckers are terrible. The ratio is not the same. |  |

Agreed. Double Decker is a top tier bit of confectionary. Dinky decker doesn't work at all. Conversely, the celebrations version of maltesers is actually better than the standard edition. |  |

To add to this thread an Aussie gal in the office just brought in Tim Tam's today, basically a Penguin, slightly different, pretty good! |  |

For me it's nothing to do with my sweet tooth and all to do with the 70% cocoa plus stuff releasing dopamine, the brain's way of saying 'you're doing well': 'In popular culture and media, dopamine is often portrayed as the main chemical of pleasure, but the current opinion in pharmacology is that dopamine instead confers motivational salience; in other words, dopamine signals the perceived motivational prominence (i.e., the desirability or aversiveness) of an outcome, which in turn propels the organism's behavior toward or away from achieving that outcome.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine 'While dark chocolate contains less sugar, it still contains compounds that can influence mood. Some studies suggest that consuming dark chocolate may lead to a greater number of positive responses and a more sustained effect compared to milk chocolate. ' from a Google search. According to the Zoé podcasts you should only have a couple of squares a day but I cheat and have a couple of squares at lunchtime and another couple at teatime. And, Christ knows, you need that hit after the last couple of games. [Post edited 2 Dec 23:13]
