is galaxy actually chocolate? It's nice stuff, but I thought it was not chocolate for some reason...

I heard some european countries were demanding that failburys don't describe their product as 'chocolate'. Something to do with using too much vegetable oil, or something along those lines.

The other night I had Guyaux Fantaisie Fancy Truffles... OMG!!!! Better than ANY other chocolate I have ever had *drooools*

All the brands you've listed are less than £2 a bar - how is that not cheap?

It's more expensive than he own brand rubbish.

I personally hate expensive chocolate, it's normally Dark chocolate and feels like cardboard, however it's the "connisours" choice, meaning it's expensive and nasty but as it's upmarket the snobs eat it to fit in. Probably followed by caviar/oysters (caviar which apparently tastes like "love juice", I bet the women love it...), eugh.

I've only eaten Hershey's once and it tasted like cardboard sprinkled with cocoa powder.

So what expensive chocolate have you actually tried?

You seem to be judging people because of the type of chocolate they like.

Orea kitKat anyone?

Why are you accusing people who happen to like different things to you of being snobs? You may think dark chocolate is "nasty" but some of us actually like it, not because it's upmarket but because we think it tastes nice. I like both dark chocolate and lighter stuff, but for different reasons: a bar of CDM is good for an energy boost, a small square of something rich, dark and velvety is a nice way to round off a meal. Oh, and for the record I think caviar tastes like wet sand someone scooped up off a rather smelly beach, and I've never tried an oyster because they look and smell revolting.

the best chocolate comes from belgium and is usually found inside a nice big box labelled godiva or neuhaus

and if it's chocolate rather than pralines, Côte d'Or > most things

I'm in no way saying that everyone that eats dark chocolate is a snob, just that it can attract that sort of person. The sort that look down on those that eat milk chocolate because it's not pure, expensive or "healthy".

Amedei or Michel Cluizel all the way......Has to be dark chocolate.

I gave my flatmate some Cluizel 70%, he spat it out thinking it was awful. I actually preferred it to Chuao, it was amazing. I don't think they do 1kg bars for cooking though

I like chocolate. Galaxy is my fav!

Major_Knox · 18 Sep 2009 at 00:06

Most real chocolates, not the fake ones like cadbury and lindt that stick to your teeth.

YES! YES! OH GOD YES!

Nothing beats Snickers. But pretty much all the chocs in british shops are good. American chocolate disgusts me, the fat ******** can't even get junk food right.

purexxevil · 18 Sep 2009 at 06:57

I really like those Kinda Buenos!
But I also like Yorkie (the purple one with raisons is yumnmy ).

The best chocolate though, is Caley's Marching chocolate

It's a really old brand, based in Norwich, but its delicious!

The yoghurt Milka is possibly the greatest chocolate bar ever although the raisin version is pretty good as well. Technically I'm sure there are much better chocolate bars but for whatever reason it just tastes great to me and perhaps as importantly it reminds me of snowboarding holidays so it's always going to be a bit special.

It's not always available in shops in this country though so I'm more likely to eat Galaxy or a Yorkie bar.
