My favourite chocolate is a british classic, Terry's Chocolate orange.

You get a ball of individual chocolate slices and it tastes pretty nice with that tangy orange after taste.

It's often pretty cheap to get and a staple for many peoples birthdays and celebrations in the UK, you'll always find one on a table or in your kids gift bag.

What about you? What is your favourite and why in the country?

Do you know that you can now get Terrys Orange chocolate as little bars in a 3x35g pack?

Tony's Chocolonely. They do their best to avoid slave labor. Low bar, I know, but most don't clear it. Also pretty dang delicious!

[–] rehydrate5503 4 points 2 days ago

Easily some of the best I’ve ever had. Recently visited their factory store in Amsterdam and stocked up (it is insanely expensive where I live, so it is definitely a special occasion bar).

The white chocolate with raspberry popping sugar is 🔥

That green hazelnut is amazing

Salty pretzel omg

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

It's 🔥. Also, I don't know why, but I love the fact that it isn't uniform in shape.

Love the caramel one from Tony's

Here in the US, those Terry's chocolate oranges get pretty popular especially around the holidays. It's tradition in our house that everyone's stocking gets one. Wholly agree; those are the best!

not sure if this counts but I like the snickers ice cream bar. it takes its worst component, nougat, and replaces it with ice cream. ice cream, nuts, chocolate, carmel. Its a sunday in an easy to eat form factor.

[–] melisdrawing 1 points 2 days ago

Oh dang. I forgot about those. Gonna have to track one down now.

Ferrero Rocher

Perfect blend of sweetness, nuts, wafer, and chocolate.

I’m a simple man, I will inhale some Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. They’ve recently come out with the Chocolate Lava Big Cups, and those are going to be the death of me!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I really like Tony’s. The taste and their ethics as a company.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Reece's peanut butter cup minis. Perfect ratio of peanut butter and chocolate to me. Best if kept in the freezer. They're not sold in Japan apparently because one ingredient used, so I only get them once or twice a year.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Have you tried the Reese chocolate bar?

[–] Nefara 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

My favorite chocolate bar is any iteration of the Chuao s'mores bar. The graham cracker crumble texture and the bits of marshmallow are just all kinds of mouth happy, and the chocolate is rich and smooth. As far as enjoying the chocolate for the chocolate though, Noi Sirius traditional Icelandic dark chocolate is floral and fruity with a deep rich flavor and so silky. Single origin Madagascar or Ecuadorian chocolate is delightfully complex and full of interesting fruity undertones, it makes mainstream blended chocolate seem bland. All of the pretentious type of puffery people say about wines is actually self evident and true when it comes to single origin chocolate.

For something you can find at the grocery store and just chuck in your mouth, I enjoy Dove.

Don't know about favorite, but as far as "most frequent" goes, like a filthy heathen I sometimes just buy a bag of Nestle semisweet chocolate chips and eat them out of the bag.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

If we're limiting to mass-produced: I can inhale a near infinite amount of Andes mints.

If not: French Broad Chocolate in Asheville NC makes a chocolate creme brulee that... nnnngggh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Wow! I didn't know so many people liked the chocolate oranges! I can't say ive seen a lot of people eating them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Not saying which country I'm in but Maltesers. Even though white and dark chocolate is my fave in general, I literally just ate an entire box of Maltesers in five minutes haha.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

For mass produced chocolate with orange, Lindt Excellence Dark Orange Intense is by far the best I know.

[–] ClanOfTheOcho 2 points 2 days ago

My favorite is a Galaxy bar. Yorkie is a good secondary.

Moser Roth Dark Sea Salt from Aldi. Third of a bar is the perfect portion.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Depends on the origin, but a freshly fermented and dried whole bean from the farm is like light drugs. Your heart skips a beat, you inhale, you smile, and life gets noticeably better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

The cheap one

[–] FourPacketsOfPeanuts 1 points 2 days ago

Same here, though has to be slightly chilled for me. Slightly warm chocolate orange is all wrong.

[–] AbouBenAdhem 1 points 2 days ago

Scharffen Berger, before it got bought by Hershey.
