Anyone had one? Meant to be lovely.

KitKats are one of my favourites. When I started primary school, I remember the cloakroom smelled of KitKats, I'm guessing someone took one in and stepped on it somewhere and the smell of KitKat was just in there. So whenever I have a KitKat now, I give it a little sniff.

As Trollheart mentioned chocolate with stuff inside, this is the one:

The smell and taste is unique, tastes like flowery perfume. I had e liquid that was Turkish Delight flavoured and that was unreal as well.

Not a big chocolate fan but I make the occasional exceptions for Double Stuffed Oreos. The cream filling kind of covers up the chocolate taste.

I'd rather have a Vanilla milkshake than any other type of ice cream with chocolate in it.

Waahh! I want to go back to the seventies!

Dark chocolate + mint = Pure bliss. Coffee also somehow tastes great if you just had mint.

Well at least you got to experience it! I was born in 1981, so I can only leaf through my mom's old 70's cookbook and marvel at how interesting it all looked. Plus the book has a big section for cocktails. They knew how to live it up back then.

Bridge mix is my favorite, (my typical movie theater food includes bridge mix, strawberry twizzlers OR gummy worms and a giant sub sandwich) though it's strangely hard to find. I'm only able to find it at pharmacies around here.

I've binged on these on occasion, too:

^ Favorite gas station chocolate bar (tied with Kit Kats, followed by Twix)

I haven't eaten those in years, so I don't remember if they're actually very good-- I just remember it was like eating bricks of hardened glue but in a good way?? Eating a whole bag would make my jaw really sore.

Obviously I prefer better quality (and less overwhelmingly sweet) chocolate, but I live in America. I do really like some of the obscure no-brand (or old timey) dollar store chocolate you can find sometimes. I like dark chocolate, too, but there's an even poorer selection of that around here. You have to either go to Target or World Market and buy single overpriced bars, and they're never anything outstanding. Might as well just buy bags of dark chocolate chips used for baking and keep one on your desk to occasionally pour into your mouth like an animal.

In general though I'll happily eat any chocolate with nuts, caramel, or toffee in it.

Not so sure about the hardened glue thing

but they are definitely very hard to chew. They've got a slightly toffee like, very deep and powerful chocolate flavor. Commonly found in supermarkets in Denmark since they're a big German brand.
I've had lots of them over the years. It's the kind of things grandma's will have in their cupboards for when the grandkids come by.

These are the biz.

dude yes, they were like the only good chocolate that you might find on an old lady's coffee table.

Chocolate is for poseurs.
