All Time, Top Five...

Favourite Chocolate bars or, to recognise my somewhat transatlantic audience (if there even is one anymore), favourite 'candy bars'. Next to some of my other top fives, I feel this one will be slightly easier but who knows. Who knows...

1) Snickers - Simply perfect. I went through a phase about four years ago where I needed to eat one of these every five hours or so. You probably think I mean 'wanted to eat' but no you are wrong, I needed them. Actually, I just think a chocolate bar that has stood the test of time like this tasty treat deserves a place in anyone's all time top five - even if you're allergic to peanuts. No excuses.

2) Lion Bar - A childhood favourite, this one really does require a strong set of teeth. Caramel and wafers galore it's a pretty intense eating endeavor in itself, but oh such a tasty one. As far as I'm aware, this one isn't available to American markets so you'll just have to imagine what it tastes like. Or I could tell you. It tastes good.

3) Dairy Milk: Fruit & Nut - Dairy Milk chocolate is a British staple and with the added raisins and nuts, it's even better. When chocolate's this good, you're not doing yourself any favours by purchasing an individual 'snack size'. No, you want to be on at least 500g a serving. Again, no excuses.

4) Drifter - It was a toss up here between a Twix and this slightly more obscure piece of confectionary, and given my propensity to be ever so counter-culture, I'm going for the latter. Whilst the two are indeed very similar through their whole two finger appearance, the Drifter is a fair bit softer in texture and more caramel infused in taste, but don't ask me - eat them for yourself! In fact, why are you even reading about someone's favourite chocolate bars?

5) Maverick - Very old skool and very cool, little is known about this fantastic piece of snack food. Although my memory of its appearance is somewhat hazy, its awesome taste still lingers somewhere within my subconscious and should Nestlé bring it out of retirement, I would seize them by the crate load. In fact, I would pay very, very good money to try one of these again.
