...any of the above...and pray that the US formulas used by Hershey for Cadbury's products never get exported to the UK. Yuck!

Galaxy ... melts in your mouth.

Yorkie raisin & biscuit, the other versions don't do it for me.

After alcohol I find the sugar hit from a Crunchie or some Cinder Toffee reals hits the spot

CAPH52 has reminded me of the merits of the Twirl - a Flake with a complete outer coat of chocolate, so you don't lose the crumbs.

Galaxy Caramel .... and i'm in heaven, but then one of the kids walks into the room and you have to hide it, or else share it:P

I haven't read all the threads but I know as a kid the most successful launch of a chocolate product must have been Wispa.

People seen eating them were virtually getting mugged in the street, as they were selling out within minutes of going on sale.

They were basically a flake with a coating of chocolate around it in the shape of a topic, do they even still sell them.

Please don't give me nightmares. I thought for the longest time that I didn't like chocolate. After having good chocolate (i.e. not the American formula that I grew up on) I realized that I'm a chocolate snob. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't find British chocolate bars (especially my Tunnock Caramel Wafers).

I'm not a chocolate fanatic (though if I do have chocolate, it's got to be bittersweet) - but one thing I love while traveling to London is perusing all of the different types of chocolate bars.

I was in a convenience type store close to my hotel, mesmerized by all the varieties of Cadbury bars and trying to figure them out. To this day I still don't know what the label with the lightning bolt on it (or something like that) was supposed to indicate.

I usually end up buying at least 5 different bars with the most interesting names, take them home and end up eating none of them.

What about a MARS BAR (theirs have almonds!) or some SMARTIES!!!

Ok it's all about the purple wrapper so this means cadburys. Milk choclate is great and now they have the crunchie in the big bar and yum yum.
Double deckers are GREAT too.

For me it is the Dairy Milk. Although the Chocolate in Canada is somewhat more similar to British Chocolate than the stuff they have in the US (hence they are called "candy bars" not chocolate bars. I would kill for a British born Dairy milk right now!!!!!

Absolutely Cadbury's dairy milk! However, if I could find Bendick's Crème de Menthe mints, that would be the real winner.

And the follow-up question:

What is the most amount of chocolate you've purchased at a UK airport shop while waiting (sadly) for your flight to the US to board? It's no wonder I never come home with any spare UK Pounds!

It's a simple question of turning £ into #. But it's important to eat it all before boarding, otherwise you get slapped with that odious excess baggage hit.

Personally I go for the wine gums-(I know they aren't chocolate) Can't get them in the states,so stock up in duty free on my way home. Like the Bounty ice cream bars too, also not available in the states.

Off topic, but whatever happened to the Cornetto tutti fruitti?
