What would the answer have been down your local?If the debate was held at the Ambassadors reception rather than a Wetherspoons there would have been a different answer....

I was once hospitalised by a Ferrero Rocher. True story.
I agree this is hard to beat and hasn't been completely messed up by recipe changes yet
For info in case anyone wants or needs to gift vegan chock Booja Booja is great (but I agree you probably wouldn't argue for this in your local)

Great shout on both cases.Tastes great and produced by a company doing its bit to stop the chocolate slave trade
Those shells voted best by the Wetherspoon-botherers can get in the sea...
Although you can get it in Tesco and other places now, Tony's is originally Dutch. I've done a lot of work over there this year and tend to come back from Schiphol with a bag full of the stuff for the family Guinness. REALLY good chocolate and genuinely ethical. Well worth looking into the story of the founder trying to get himself arrested for modern slavery!

I was a big fan of it already – and knew a bit of the back story – and then John Oliver did one of his deep dives into the chocolate industry and I discovered even more.

absolutely disgusting rubbish
Another vote for Dairy Milk here. Not a fan of dark chocolate so most of those expensive, pretentious brands can do one.

Most of the things we buy involves exploitation, but the cocoa trade is particularly grim. I don't know the fulll story on Tony's, but for me the most interesting model in terms of an alternative to the main stream shite is Divine. Decent chocolate (if I am.honest not my absolute favorite... but pretty good) from.a company part owned by the farmers themselves.
Most 'chocolate' in the UK is really just flavoured sugar.
