Double Deckers (chocolate bar)

Nick and Emma may boil in anger but I Am Chocolate Princess of ILX. I know this is true because whenever I eat GOOD chocolate, it makes me SNEEZE. BAD chocolate DOES NOT produce a sneeze. This is not an allergy, it is quality control, y'all.

One year I volunteered to test the holiday choc ranges for the Observer. So I called up all the chains and got them to send in (cough, BIKE OVER) the free samples. By the end of the free samples I was in the middle of a crying jag on the floor somewhere on the 4th level of the graniaud building because, apart from the Thorntons and Godiva, all were RUBBISH.

...and in America, they pronounce NOUGAT 'knew-get'. Otherwise you get a NOUGIE for being poncey.

Bah! Wouldn't you rather be the Fairy Queen?

"When They're Gone, They're Gone" says the White Chunky Kit Kat slogan: its a limited edition (albeit of several million). So stock up now. Its currently the fastest selling confectionery item in our machines.

Tom said: There should be an essay on the quest for a viable bar that uses white chocolate. Milky Bar has had the field to itself forever and is very unimaginative. Have you tried the Nestlé Crunch White? Maybe too much like melted Milky Bars with Rice Krispies in for you.

Suzy, it's not about quality, it's about sugar and texture and the quick sweet fix, sure you can have godiva or posh 70% cocoa solids but that's just missing the point when you're sat at your desk when all you need is some thick, sweet chocolatey mush in your mouth.

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.

Fuse bar success story.

to quote my Mum, Gareth, "that's it, you don't think, do you????"

;-)

I like Galaxy Liasons.

double deckers vs lion vs toffee crisp vs drifter vs crunchie

am I leaving anything obv out there? no nuts, must have a crispy/crunchy element

if it gets to this evening with no further contributiins thats held as final poll entries just sayin

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.
