I've been on the factory tour where they make Cadbury's chocolate(in Bournville,Birmingham)i had to be dragged out of the place by my family, there were so many freebies i thought i was in heaven,i must go back soon, mmmmmmm

I went on a factory tour of Bendicks, the high-class chocolate makers, the chocolates were so rich I ate two! The smell in the factory was overpowering, you can have just too much of a good thing. Now had you given me a large box of Bendicks I am sure that I would have got a wee bit further - but I will stick with my first choice, a great big slab of Cadbury's Milk, perhaps even Cadbury's Fruit and Nut... or any Cadbury's Milk... if only I could have some, I would KILL for some! Diabetic 'chocolate' is really not the same at all, it is better than none at all but it can't come close to the real thing.

Ren33, i just love 99's ( icecream with a flake) they do ones where you can have two flakes, in fact i want one now, where is an icecream van when you need one

I forgot about this one, has anybody tried Fry's Turkish Delight, turkish delight with a lovely chocolate covering,not big enough for my liking so i have to have two bars.

Like the majority, I love Cadbury chocolates... but I also love Milka chocolates, they are really good!

Speaking about chocolates, has anyone seen the movie "Chocolat"? (which is based on a novel by Joanne Harris)
It is a lovely movie, and there's a particular scene that I love, when Vianne (Juliette Binoche) prepares chicken and all sorts of food and everyone eats their meal with chocolate sauce, it's great! I know it sounds strange, but wouldn't it be nice to eat chicken and other things with chocolate sauce? Just for once at least. Everytime I watch that scene I can't help to think I would love to have that. Yummy! lol

All time favourite would have to be Mintola (Closest you can get now - After 8) but being a chocolate lover the ones left in the selection box that no one else want's to eat have to be the best They'll always be there when you want one.

I've heard that under EU regulations, British chocolate is officially classed as cheese.

Dove dark chocolate is my favorite.

Baci, made by Perugina and Ferrero Rocher, made by Ferrero are absolutely the best, in my opinion. Both hazelnut filled, Baci is made with dark chocolate and Ferrero Rocher is made with milk chocolate. Both are from Italy.

Oh, you guys, no one likes Hershey Kisses??

I think, though, that I had the best chocolate when I went to Italy last year...they had chocolate from around the world. And I bought a BIG box of Ferro Rocher for about 16 euros! I practically ate the whole thing on the plane ride home. I also like Ghirardelli chocolates.

All right, I'll admit it--I like Cadbury too....especially the eggs with the white and yellow gunk inside!! That was just for you, valois.

The best chocolate, the very best chocolate is my chocolate in my tummy! Every thing else is just temptation.

The best chocolate in the entire world is Godiva. Their chocolate tastes like a slice of Heaven that floated down to Earth!

mmm . . . dark chocolate . . . I love Russel Stover chocolate

The best chocolate in my part of the country is from Fannie May!

Chocolate is all there is!! It's steak and potatoes, lobster and shrimp, ice cream and cake all rolled up into one! I only saw one mention of Dove, and none for Whitman's Sampler with the caramels and cremes all in one old fashioned looking box, nor for the Riesens. A little variety here is completely acceptable!!

Ah another chocolate fan I have to admit to devouring the odd Whitman chocie every so often - not fussed on the hard ones but the soft ones ... Mmmmmmmmm

Welcome Serenitee (head up to the Welcome Centre and intorduce yourself )

Thanks for the welcome, Copago. I saw the Welcome Centre before, but I can't seem to locate it now. I've been lurking and poking about the forum. So far it's been a very pleasurable experience. I especially enjoy the smileys.

Up the top of any of the forum pages is a link to the "main index", you should see the Welcome Centre up the top.

( they're good, aren't they? )

Serenitee, I just love your Sig! Very appropriate at this time of year...Welcome from a chocoholic.

Unless I missed it somewhere, Ghirardelli Chocolate hasn't been mentioned. It is positively to die for. The Ghirardelli Co. in San Leandro, California was established in 1852.

Their chocolates are so smooth and wonderful. Dark is my favorite.

I know this is a very old thread but I need to make an amendment to my answer - I have just tried Godiva chocolate for the very first time so Cadbury's, sorry you are relegated to second place! Drools.

Now the weight is down, so is my blood sugar so I am back on ice cream and chocolates.

Worth the diet then, Sue!!

White toblerone has a serious contender to being my favourite chocolate too. Cadbury strawberry dream. It is only a bare mircometre below toblerone

And thanks for bringing this up, S8ue. Want some now

[ Timidly, here...] Copago, I hate to interject this, but that delicious white stuff isn't really chocolate. It's just delicious white stuff they call chocolate for advertising and marketing purposes...

Shhh, don't tell her that or she will hit you with one! Or she might if she could buy one in Australia, unless things have changed she couldn't obtain them locally and needed to have them shipped from here! When we met up in London we were clutching our White Toblerones for identificaiton purposes, she ate them all.

Don't ask her what she did with the Marmite.

Oh. Really?

But that is a good thing, right? It means I DIDN'T eat a block of chocolate myself in a day?
