Nestle have changed Toffee Crisp. It used to be deep like a mars bar but now they've flattened it. The biting experience is ruined.

just another reason to give up on these terrible sugar laden ‘snacks’. I stopped eating this stuff when kraft made the cadbury chocolate taste of cheesy sweetened fat . Do your body a favour. while your at it cut out fizzy drinks.

They will be straightening the Curly Wurly next.

Cadburys Dairy Milk, Whole Nut. no contest for me.

Holy thread revival delboy!

I find this stuff quite hard to find but it’s overall taste imo hasn’t been wrecked by the yanks yet. I go bonkers if I see it in my local.

I think my favourite has always been either the above or Terrys Chocolate Orange. It is so moreish!

Aldi hazel nut milk chocolate bar wipes the floor with the cadbury version. Bettter chocolate, more nuts, doesn't taste like cheese. and it's cheaper.

Interesting. Do Aldi have a fruit and nut equivalent as well?

Yes its good. Think they also do almond as well. But the hazelnut one is one of the best chocolate bars on the market right now. Honesty its incredible.

Crunchie for me. Lovely honeycomb goodness.

I couldn't find a fruit and nut bar but I take it this is the hazelnut one you're talking about. I'll be buying one next visit.

Yes that one. Buy at least 2

I was going to buy two but saw a rum and raisin with hazelnuts by the same brand, so bought one of those as well. Just tried some of the hazelnut only bar. You're right, absolutely sensational! The flavour and creaminess of the chocolate and the crunchiness of the hazelnuts, heavenly.

Had to stop myself gorging on more as I hadn't eaten any dinner.

Edit: I've had some of the rum n raisin and while it's very nice, the other bar is better. Should have bought two!

Like to go for the Choceur brand of chocolate myself, me and my wife usually like to enjoy a bar of the Choceur caramel together

Excellent! The other ones are good but the hazelnut milk one is in another league. Told you to buy 2 now you know why lol

Bubo · 26 Jan 2020 at 15:02

Has anyone ever found a current choccy bar which is in the same league as the discontinued Cadbury's Old Jamaica? I'm talking classic rum and raisin with darkish chocolate? I see the Aldi rum and rasin bar mentioned above, but that looks like its milk chocolate and with nuts as well. It's like a mission of mine to find something as close as possible to the old Cadbury's stuff, for my dad.

Yeah, you really get a lovely sort of praline flavour. I went back today and bought 2 more bars
