IMHO, a most perfect and thrilling invention: Terry's "Tap and Unwrap".

Yes..we have Snickers. It used to be called Marathon and was then changed as that was the universal name. |

Generally, we dont. Companies like Cadburys, Rowntrees etc tend to have that niche sewn up! |

no wonder the occurance of diabetes is high here.

If chocolate had not been invented, I would probably be skinny.
I love chocolate! I eat or drink it every day!
I love to make hot cocoa with those little instant Swiss Mocha packets. Just add hot water! (Sometimes, I'll add milk.)
I also like M and M's, Snicker's, Milky Ways, Butterfingers, Almond Joys, Crunch bars, and of course Hershey bars with Almonds.
Oh, and Almond Roca bars!
I also like German Chocolate Cake. And, I love Rocky Road ice cream.
But, my absolute favorite are See's chocolates, but they are very expensive. So, I never buy them. I only eat them if someone gives them to me as a gift.
P.S. You know, I just thought of something . . . Why can't I go out and buy myself a box of See's chocolates? Maybe, I will do that today!
WHEN IT COMES TO CHOCOLATE, IT'S ALL GOOD!

I just remembered something!
When I was about 4, my mom used to make a bottle for my baby brother, and I would demand a bottle, too! Rather than argue with me, my mom would make me one! And, I remember I would insist that she add Nestle's Quik to it!
Chocolate Mama! You forgot the chocolate!
I was a brat!
P.S. Yes, I am self-absorbed and self-centered! Somehow, I turn every thread into something about ME!
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! |

Ghirardelli's for me.....dark chocolate. And they even make a brownie mix. And I HATE mixes. But this is to die for. Underbake about 5 minutes, and they are SO chocolatey....
I've always wanted to order See's chocolates. They are out of San Francisco, right? I had a catalog once.....Godiva chocolates are good too. I guess I mostly love expensive, dark chocolate.
But Reese's peanut butter cups are totally addictive. |

Well, I had the Cadbury's & it was good. Slightly better than Hershey's. It was a regular milk bar. Nothing great. |

Origins: When nineteen police, on a tip-off, raided a party at Keith Richards' estate in February of 1967 in search of illegal drugs, Richards, Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull, and six other male guests were lounging about a downstairs room watching TV and listening to music. Faithfull wore only a large, orange fur bedcover that she had wrapped around herself after taking a bath a little while earlier. The police searched the house and the persons in it, gathered various pieces of evidence, and left. A month later, Richards and Jagger were summoned before the court on drug charges. By the time the trial started at the end of June, a rumor had already started spreading that when the police arrived at Redlands, "they had interrupted an orgy of cunnilingus in which Jagger had been licking a Mars candy bar pushed into Marianne's vagina." |

I recall something called a Penguin bar from my childhood in England. They were damn good with tea.
[edit] Here it is...

a Stones fan should know that a Mars bar is easy to find in the UK, I would have thought.
As are all the Mars and Nestle products listed above which are made in the UK. |

Brit chocolate is surely superior to our bars etc.But what incenses me is how much superior their beer is..Fuck it should be illegal to sell US suds with the name beer on it! |

Beer, most definitely; chocolate, not by a long shot--Brit chocolate is usually much too milky. |
