I know I’ll probably get flamed as hell for this but comapred to European chocolate, American stuff is lousy.
There I said it.
Allow me to clarify. Hershey’s are rubbish
Here are my top ten…
-
Mars bar - a hit of pure sugar, best when left in the fridge for a long time
-
Maltesers - light and fluffy, the capuccino of candy, though always stale if bought in corner shops!
-
double decker - 2 candy bars in one, enjoyed as a whole or by peeling of the top layer and enjoying separately
-
Cadbury’s dairy milk - the candy equivilant of crude oil - the irreducable element from whence all other bars came.
-
walnut wip - a chocolate turban filled with sugary clouds. with a nut on top
-
Flake, truly the most erotic of chocalte bars.
-
Wispa, sadly no longer with us, a zen chocolate bar wherein texture was the primary sensory force, not taste
-
Chocolate orange - enjoyed as a stand alone bar or the eponymous cricketball of choclate that is the orange itself.
-
Galaxy ripple, a smoother more velvety ‘flake’ in a snug chocolate jacket
-
Toblerone, get on your filthy knees and worship the Mont blanc of chocolate
