My lass seems to like Galaxy. Dunno why, I think it's a bit tasteless - I prefer Lindt or something like that.

Sucdiss.

I quite like Star Bars, although noone seems to have ever had one. They're made by Cadbury's ISTR, and have something like peanut butter and caramel inside them. I heart them.

A Star Bar partner! That's my favourite chocolate bar, but as far as I know, Cadbury's never promote it. I only know a couple of people who have even heard of it. It's a secret chocolate bar.

Have the Cadbury products withdrawn after the salmonella scare gone back on sale yet?

The whole 'leaky pipe' scandal didn't surprise me at all. My boyfriend used to work at another large chocolate manufacturer during university holidays, and was there when a cleaner accidentally knocked a mop and bucket full of water into the main vat of chocolate. The mop and bucket were fished out, but the dirty water, used to clean the factory floors, was left in the vat and eventually consumed by the general public in one of Britain's favourite snacks.

He also once cut his finger on the packaging production line and got blood all over the packaging. When he reported it to the supervisor, he was told not to worry - and chocolate bars with blood on the packagaing were all sent out to be sold.

The sad thing is I'm sure that this kind of thing goes on at most factories processing food.

i like galaxy ripples and milky bars, but it has to be said that tesco value chocolate is suprisingly nice too, it tastes kinda like the chocolate you get in christmas day countdown calandars.

Cadbury's Buttons or the now rare Vice-Versa, but I havnt much a sweet tooth, so chocolate is just there when I feel rundown, or in need of a pick me up.

Star bars for me too, or Galaxy.

I was enjoying those gigantic Cadbury Turkish Delight bars, but they have't been around since the salmonella thing.

Galaxy! Galaxy and Galaxy!

It's so creamy and so devine when dunked in coffee. Kit kats are the biscuits to dunk in coffee.

Always used to be a huge fan of Galaxy and never thought I'd find something better - until I found 'Lacta' - a Greek milk chocolate that's absolutely gorgeous (escpecially the one with chopped hazelnuts.)

Wouldn't give you tuppence for Cadbury's Dairy Milk - it's like eating compacted talc and nearly as dire as Hershey's.

Favourite UK choc bar has to be Topic (#What has a hazlenut in every bite? #Pure milk chocolate for your delight #etc), and from abroad Ion Strawberry (a bit like a Jacobs Club with a strawberry creme but no biscuit).
