I like flake, bounty and a few others. But my true downfall is plain (dark) chocolate digestive biscuits. I know they aren't candy bars but sooooo yummy. I can't buy them often because once the packet is open I have a hard time stopping.

(here in the States they cost over $4.50 so I try to stock up in duty free - others are buying cognac and I'm buying McVitties)

Galaxy!

I thought Cadbury was the best until my English friend had me try Galaxy while we were in the U.K. this year. One of those would taste good right now....

My daughter is really big or YORKIES "It's Not For Girls", but I'm not really sure it's the chocolate.

Flake - ideally stuck in an ice-cream cone (I think it's called a 99 or something...)

Cadbury Fruit & Nut! I make sure to eat one upon happy entry into England, and one upon take-off for the somber flight home.

Definitely Cadbury's caramel. However, I gagged when I tried Flake. Guess it's an acquired taste? I also like anything with toffee

Old Jamaica Rum and Raisin - yum! Although I understand that they don't make it anymore

So, it'll have to be Matchmakers mint or coffee flavour, I'm not picky.

Oh dear, all this cheap chocolate.

Also, it's Green and Blacks, not darks...unless you were making some point there?

Fortnum's do good British chocolate, and also Charbonnel, but it's all in the continental style.

But Cadbury's? It's awfully sweet, with no snap, not depth of flavour. Just eat sugar cubes.

RE: Thorntons. Sarah - thanks for the tip. There's a place in Pennsylvania that imports & ships around the U.S. Think I'll treat myself to a Christmas gift...

nccgrl - You're part right about the Mounds bar, but they use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Bounty is the hybrid cross of a Mounds and Almond Joy. I stock up on them every trip overseas and I don't share them with anybody.
