    Cadbury is also owned by Mondelez, so many British chocolate bars are out too.

      And Cadburys have reduced the quality of their chocolate since the take over, to maximise profits further. I largely try to avoid them along with Nestle, but that mostly leaves you with store own brands & the more expensive but much better quality smaller brands (until they get bought out & ruined in the process!).

        I’ve started seeing Tony’s Chocolonely in stores recently, but it’s about £3.80 UK price as opposed to a similarly sized Cadbury’s bar which is anywhere from £1.50 to £2.00.

        It’s a shame because I love a good chocolate bar but nearly £4 is a bit too steep for me.

          it is steep but it’s good chocolate. It makes you rethink your relationship with it doesn’t it, we take it for granted when in fact it should be a very occasional treat. This is not meant as a preachy statement, I’m very guilty of eating too much chocolate but I think it’s the first step in a more positive direction.

            Agree. I’ve developed a taste for dark(er) chocolate this past few years, which also has the benefit of not being so morish, so I tend to have smaller amounts at a time rather than smash through most of a large bar of milk choc. That also makes the more expensive price a little more doable when it lasts longer.

          Lindt is a high quality European brand but definitely more expensive. M&S brand chocolate is nice and decently priced. Other supermarkets have their own brands which are cheaper but not as nice IMO.

            Love Lindt, always keep an eye out for offers. Will have to check M&S’ own out. I’ve found the Sainsbury’s dark bar with hazelnuts is pretty good & priced relatively ok.
