Where is good old BOG STANDARD Dairy Milk.
I'll add Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut in there as well

My word, the state of this nominations list so far...
IMO for something to qualify as "chocolate" the majority ingredient should be ... well, you know, chocolate? Just because someone has coated a slab of honeycomb in a thin layer of chocolate doesn't make it "chocolate". It makes it an item of confectionary that uses chocolate, but not actual chocolate.
I'll happily allow in such items as Fruit & Nut chocolate bars, Rum & Raisin, etc. But a Mars Bar ... come on. That's Caramel and Nougat with a light chocolate wrapping. Absolute travesty that a Snickers makes it on the list before the likes of Bournville and Booja Booja.
Oh ... and if Kit Kat and Wagon Wheel are out, how did a Club make it in?! (NB: I have seen it's to be removed, but let me rant!)
I am so boycotting this competition until there's some common sense applied to the entries! *Harrumph* and *Bah Hambug!*
Great, another thread to ignore
Nigella's Cream Pie
Fingerlickin good
Sainsburys Whole Nut - lots more (hazel)nuts than Cadburys but cheaper. That's the milk chocolate version, I actually prefer the dark chocolate one.

Drifter..!
Lindt Extra Dark Chocolate Truffles 70%
Seconded
Confusing poll.
Lots of the nominations barely feature chocolate, beyond perhaps a thin and perfunctory outer layer to what they’re actually all about - the filling. Biscuit. Nougat. Caramel. Coconut etc. These are not really ‘chocolate’.
Personally, it has to be dark chocolate - 75% or more - either plain and pure, or featuring an accompanying flavour note/texture: mint, orange, raspberry, sea salt etc. Lots of the classic combos are classic for good reason.
Lindt does this pretty well for the mass market. If you want to go posh, Valrhona is the dogs. There’s also a brand here in Dubai - Patchi - that’s pretty decent. Think it’s actually Lebanese, but very popular here.
