actually, none of the above are actually chocolate bars - chocolate flavoured perhaps, but not proper chocolate

They are absolutely ARE chocolate bars. The British add a bit more vegetable oil and milk to their chocolate, but the core ingredients are still the same. Just because a few snobs in Europe believe their chocolate to be superior, that doesn't mean that what the British offer is not chocolate.

Even the EU agreed with us on that one 😲

Chocolate war over after 30 years

Europe's 30-year chocolate wars came to an abrupt end yesterday with a ruling from the EU's highest court ordering Italy and Spain to lift a "disproportionate" ban on the sale of British chocolate.

Surely a Yorkie has to be on the list? Pure chocolate with no fancy biscuit bits and bloody rice crispies added, a true chocolate bar indeed.

It's not really underrated as a bar though, it's pretty well lauded.
 
Well @OxfordYankee you've managed to avoid the World Cup, a multitude of strikes, refugees and the climate crisis and focus on one of the key issues of our time. However, I'm going to complain to the Admins if this carries on in the same vein - swearing, threats of shooting, a general confusion between chocolate and chocolate based snacks and even references to the EU chocolate definition wars. Oh, what times we live in.

ps I'm incredibly disappointed that the a recent entrant, Tony's Chocolonely, hasn't been included. I suppose it's technically Dutch, so you may be OK.
 
I initially voted Mars Bar as it’s clearly the nicest one on the list, but then I realised that the question is underrated and so changed it to Lion Bar. Quiet triumph.

I like to prioritise the issues of the day, always ensuring that the fluff is blown away.

If you read the whole article "In 2000 a deal was struck. British-style milk chocolate (which contains 20% milk) was cleared for export to the eight, provided it was labelled "family milk chocolate"." - I'd have opted for "shit wrapped in tinsel" as would any self-respecting "food snob", EU or other!

Anyway, where's the cunting Curly-Wurly?
 
I don't consider any of the options in the list as underrated, per se. How can you consider a Mars bar or Snickers as underrated, for example.
If I had to put one forward, and I don't even know if they still make them if truth be told, then I would say a Drifter.
 
Nux Bar from the sixties. Full of grated nut and toffee........guaranteed to extract any loose fillings. Closely followed by the Lion Bar......with the same consequences. Both sssooooo...delicious. Just tap in Nux Bar. It's there.

A Lion Bar is just a disappointment.
 
I like a kit kat with my morning coffee then for a chocolate snack I'd go for a chomp or two half time at football has to be a Snickers and then when I'm relaxing in the evening it's Cadbury s caramel
