Re suzy's choc-tester experience: if by "holiday choc ranges" you mean easter, I think I read that piece (which is strange since I've nevah knowingly bought the Hobserver).
I am of course lucky in some respects: Godiva stalls all over this city. Mmmmm.
But no Double Deckers here.

double deckers vs lion vs toffee crisp vs drifter vs crunchie

if it gets to this evening with no further contributiins thats held as final poll entries just sayin
― local eire man (darraghmac), Saturday, 31 January 2015 23:59 (nine years ago) link
Sack Crunchie from that list. Always too dry and mangles the inside of my mouth.

The joy of cramming a whole nougat layer into your gob after completing the task of gnawing off all the biscuit might win this for the DD. Makes up for lack of caramel element.
Fuse and Maverick are sadly missed.

instead you should do a poll that's a link to this thread and some kind of comprehension test for current ilx

ey kinder ive always liked you so imma let that pass but if you need a safety warning on yr crunchie wrapper that's btwn u and god

I like Crunchies almost as much as I like Double Deckers. If there was a poll, I think the much maligned Boost ("Slightly rippled with a flat underside") would come last.

Also S (not D) Fry's Turkish Delight: full of Eastern promise and then covered in chocolate. Eating actual Turkish Delight as an adult was a real shock.

...I picked one up off the tea trolley the other day not even noticing they had been away...
Does a tea trolley service still exist in UK workplaces?

wtf snobes clearly Turkish delight not eligible in the pantheon of crunch/chocolate greats do keep up man
― local eire man (darraghmac), Sunday, 1 February 2015 20:38 (nine years ago) link
crunchies are great but feel like they're in a diff category to the others & clearly don't belong in poll imo
― socki fan taytay (wins), Sunday, 1 February 2015 20:47 (nine years ago) link
I mean if "crunchy" is your only criterion you'd have to open it up to twix & all other biscuit-containing chocolate bars
― socki fan taytay (wins), Sunday, 1 February 2015 20:48 (nine years ago) link
I'm slightly uneasy abt crunchier u may be right but I think twix is a fair nomination I just amnt mad on twixes

Just tried a double decker for the first time. It was a bit of an ordeal to eat: ridiculously tough caramel base accompanied by a slightly unpleasant tasting biscuit section. The most that can be said, I feel, is that it lasts a lot longer than most other snacks.
― the gabhal cabal (Bob Six), Sunday, 1 February 2015 21:34 (nine years ago) link
1. It's not caramel2. You were eating it upside down
― Number None, Sunday, 1 February 2015 21:38 (nine years ago) link
lol and otm also dont eat it out of the freezer
― local eire man (darraghmac), Sunday, 1 February 2015 21:42 (nine years ago) link
I think it was probably stale.

I'm not sure if I don't like Double Deckers as much as I did in the 80s or if it's just that the only place I decide to buy them now is the work sandwich van, which despite no refrigeration serves all its produce (inc. perma-green bananas) at arctic temperatures most of the year round
I was gonna say Fuse but I forgot they had nuts in and also apparently they don't exist any more
damn you I'm supposed to be on a diet but breakage via chocolate is all too possible as flatmate has left a big pile of Dairy Milk in the kitchen and also I still have a box of Thorntons in my room after I carried it all round the country as an emergency present in case any aunts/uncles I'd forgotten existed turned up to xmas festivities (PS don't feel sorry for me, I just had a Kopparberg, a couple of vodkas and a bag of prawn crackers, so the diet is already p. much dead)
