America has the worst chocolate bars. Disgusting really. And a terribly limited selection. Just like cookies. So nothing but Ghirardelli Sea Salt Caramel Dark Chocolate squares for me, or nothing. So mostly nothing.

Round 3 is here, no real nail biters this time. I really don’t like this first brackets odds of taking down mars bars / coffee crisp.

You all know that someone bought the rights and have brought these back again, right? I think Co-op sells them, among others.

The chocolate in the Cuban Lunch is waxy and not great IMO. If you like peanuts in chocolate, in a square format - Whittaker's Peanut Slab is your answer. Way better than Cuban Lunch. London Drugs carries them.

The original ones were very good. I haven't tried the re-incarnation version yet. You are possibly correct on the downgraded chocolate.

Cuban lunches are definitely not as good today as they were. I'm pretty nostalgic about chocolate and they've definitely used poor quality chocolate. The peanuts aren't as good either.

I can’t believe wafer bars are popular - Kit Kat, Coffee Crisp. No gravitas.

They are the worst versions of things that are actually better.

I remember them having Spanish peanuts, like with thin skins still on. Maybe that that’s a false memory.

Finals time! So this was weird for me, all 8 of my picks advanced to the 2nd round but neither of my picks made it to the finals. Anyways there’s 2 days left to vote!

I'm curious. He certainly hypes these up.
Not great. I found it to be dry and not a lot of flavour at all.

My favourites are:

Mint Aero
Mirage
Coffee Crisp
Crunchie

I dont really care for either finalist. Coffee crisp would be the slight winner I guess, lol.

I have never understood the love for Twix, it is too dry and not enough chocolate.

Flawed poll anyways since its missing many better choices ha ha!

I only really eat chocolate bars at halloween but the ones I seek out the most are Wunderbars as it's a perfect marriage of caramel, peanut butter and chocolate. Snickers, Mr. Big and O'Henry are up there for me as well.
