Interesting chocolate bar – full if not over-full of hazelnuts which are floating on a layer of chocolate – which makes the bar more gritty/coarse than you might expect.

Marks and Spencer Extremely Chocolatey White Chocolate Rounds
Overly sweet if not actually sickly sweet. More chocolate than biscuit – but that’s probably what the problem is.

Ritter Sport Rum & Raisin chocolate bar
I love the idea of a rum and raisin chocolate bar, but this one is completely overwhelmed by the taste of alcohol (and not the taste of rum per se, it’s a generic burst of alcohol) and it’s too sweet as well.
Allegedly has nuts, but they’re not particularly noticeable.

Willie’s Raspberries and Cream white chocolate
A lurid pink and strangely dry and gritty chocolate – not particularly pleasant mouth feel and somewhat too sweet. Avoid.

Lindt Touch of Vanilla White Chocolate Bar
Lindt’s ‘Touch of Vanilla’ white chocolate bar should be good, and is mostly/kind-of/sort-of. Nice melt in the mouth and bar is firm with good bite, but the bar itself is too thin and the taste is a bit too sweet.
Almost…

nomnom hot x buns chocolate bar
nomnom’s hot x buns chocolate bar is an excellent mix of chocolate and spices. Good mouthfeel and great balance of flavours.
Shame it’s too hard to find.

Dark Chocolate Maltesers
Dark Chocolate Maltesers – marketed as the ‘Lighter way to enjoy Dark Chocolate’. The chocolate is thin and bitter and it’s an awful combination with the honeycomb.
Seems to be found only in the Asian-Pacific region, which may be a blessing for the rest of us.

Ritter Sport Nut Perfection Macadamia Milk Chocolate
Macadamia and chocolate should be a match made in heaven but Ritter Sport’s Nut Perfection Macadamia Milk Chocolate is anything but. The chocolate is too sweet, and the macadamia nut chunks are too small. It should work, but it just doesn’t.

Melting Pot Fudge – Irish Cream Liqueur and White Chocolate
Melting Pot’s Irish Cream Liqueur and White Chocolate fudge is, frankly, one of the most fabulous bits of fudge I’ve ever had. Super soft, full of flavour, absolutely awesome. Shame it’s a bit hard to find!

Willie’s Cafe Negro – Dark Chocolate with Coffee
Willie’s Cafe Negro is supposed to be a dark chocolate tasting of ‘smooth sophisticated coffee’. It’s a hard dark chocolate that doesn’t really taste of coffee and is actually quite unpleasant. Had one bite and threw the rest out.

Kit Kat Peanut-butter bites
Better than the White Chocolate Kit Kat Bites – but not hugely so. Slightly less sweet, but still rather too sweet and not particularly tasting of peanut butter either.
“Tastes like stale kit kats’

Montezuma’s 37% Smooth Milk Chocolate
Solid reasonably chunky bar, feels good to eat and tastes good as well. What’s not to like – aside from the price? [star rating=”4/5″]
Willie’s El Blanco White Chocolate
I really feel I should like Willie’s chocolate, but I’m always disappointed. I don’t like the slightly greasy mouth feel and strangely spiky crunch of this bar, and while it’s not quite the overpowering taste of condensed milk that some other white chocolate bars, have it’s not that pleasant either. Strangely sweetly sour aftertaste.

Kit Kat White Chocolate Bites
Nasty. I like the Kit Kat Chunky White Chocolate Bars, but these are unpleasant. They’re far far too sweet, too small, and there’s not much bite to them. Avoid.

Lovely Fruity Nutty Crunchy
This should be a great chocolate bar. It has all the ingredients you want – crispy bits, raisins, peanuts, chocolate… but it’s not impressive and not worth £2.25. The chocolate coating’s not thick enough and the whole thing doesn’t have enough bite/chew to it.
