Top Ten Tuesday - chocolate

After Easter we've still all I've got chocolate on the brain.  So here's my ten most favourite chocolate bars... I think.  I tried to stick to real "bars"
  1. Lindt Dark Chocolate Fleur de Sel
  2. Lindt Dark Chocolate Chili
  3. Cadbury Fruit and Nut
  4. After Eight - yes they make a real chocolate bar!
  5. Crunchie
  6. Big Turk
  7. Hershey Cookies n' Cream
  8. Cadbury Dairy Milk
  9. Mars
  10. Mr. Big
For the record;
  • I would choose m&m's over smarties everytime, despite my husbands love for the latter.
  • Mars over Snickers lately but that wasn't always the case.  Just got some stale peanut flavour once too many times and now always pick Mars.
  • I used to always choose my chocolate bar treat based on weight per dollar, especially if I didn't have a real hankering for a specific bar.  Now, I'm more likely to want quality over quantity.
  • With the more expensive choices I've never eaten an entire bar at on sitting.  I'm much more likely to break off a square, really savour it and drag the bar out for a week!
  • There are some chocolates that my husband just doesn't appreciate enough to eat.
So tell me, what's your favourite??  Which ones did I miss?
For the record this list was harder to make than I thought it would be!!

  1. Addicted to Dairy Milk Mint....followed close by Dairy Milk plain & fruit & nut. I've been wanting to try Lindt Dark Chocolate Chili...now that I know you like it I have to try it, I will pick one up on my way home from boot camp tonight, if I'm not to bagged. I also like Cherry Blossoms A LOT something about that cherry/chocolate combo. You are so right about the quality of chocolate, only takes a small piece to satisfy the craving : )
    Miss you girlfriend xoxo
