What is the best ever chocolate bar? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 86/100. Pookie_Pie (166)   ranked 26 out of 2,223 in chocolate5 months ago

So, i've been watching my weight lately and i havent been able to eat much chocolate.
When i do treat myself to a candy bar, i want to make sure its worth all the calories by how it tastes..
If i was to treat myself to a chocolate bar, what do you think i should choose? Which is the tastiest, and worth all those calories?

I'm thinking maybe a bar of chocolate covered turkish delight?.. or perhaps a peanut butter and chocolate kitkat (the protein from the peanut butter makes it not so b ad for you right?!)..
So what would you choose? xxxxx

Kit Kats and Skor bars are my favorite, I recommend those...or a Whatchamacalit, I grew up loving those...darn it, now I'm hungry again!!


myLot reputation of 86/100. Pookie_Pie (166)   ranked 26 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

Hehe Tally.. a 'Whatchamacallit'??? lol.. What dooo you call it?!! I wish i knew what that was lol!
We dont have Skor bars here in England.. what kind of flavour are they?
Totally with you on the KitKats though... i know what the are! Ohhh yesss! xxxx


myLot reputation of 22/100. Tallymommy (1578)   ranked 262 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

Skor bars are basically hard caramel covered in chocolate, so good!! Whatchamacalits are crunchy, with peanut butter and chocolate...yum!!


MassiveStunner (44)   ranked 501 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

yeah Tallymommy skor bars are the shiznits....if that makes any sense to u;)


myLot reputation of 86/100. Pookie_Pie (166)   ranked 26 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

Oh Wow! Those Watchamacallits dont half sound good! Why dont we get them here in the UK?*sulks*:(
As a fem amateur bodybuilder, iv learnt to loove Peanut Butter~ it has such a high protein content, and the fats are 'good' fats, so its excellent for helping to pack on the muscle.
So a choccie bar with peanut butter n nuts HAS to be a healthier option for me.. lol.
Does anyone know where i can get hold of a watchamacallit in England? Why Oh Why do i have to live here?! xxx


myLot reputation of 22/100. Tallymommy (1578)   ranked 262 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

Thanks for the br, just think, you can probably order them on amazon.com or the internet somewhere!!

I am with you.
A chocolate covered turkish delight 98% fat free.
We shall be able to have 2, as the packaging tells us it is fat free.
I really do not know how they make fat free chocolate covered turkish delight.


myLot reputation of 86/100. Pookie_Pie (166)   ranked 26 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

LOL.. now you know why i chose the Turkish Delight! I hear ya baby! It's GOT to be worth all teh calories if their isnt that many.. right?! xxxx


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7060)   ranked 133 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

Umm now you have made me feel like a turkish delight.
I need to go to the shop so might just get one.


myLot reputation of 86/100. Pookie_Pie (166)   ranked 26 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

hehe did you get your Turkish Delight Bar? I had one yesterday.. i just couldnt resist! But we're ok right?.. they're healthy! (lol!).
Hope its low enough fat to not give me any extra wobbly bits .. eek! I feel guilty now! xx


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7060)   ranked 133 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

I was a pig I bought a twin pack.
And I realised they are only 60% fat free.
So now I feel like a real big pig.
But they were nice.

KitKats are my favorite, but if you are looking for more figure friendly choclate, what about 3 Muskateers?
They always advertise that they have 40% less fat or something. xD


myLot reputation of 86/100. Pookie_Pie (166)   ranked 26 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

3 Muskateers?.. WHY do i have to live in a part of the world that's LAST to hear about anything?.. especially Figure Friendly Chocolate?!! I mean, its a weight watchers dream come true, a choccy bar thats almost half the fat of normal, and i know for sure that if it tastes good, id be a whole lot happier about eating a lower fat chocolate bar, and i could enjoy it a whole lot more, without all that self loathing afterwards when you realise how many calories you've just consumed!
In England, we dont have 3 Muskateers bars.. iv never even heard of them, but id definitely try one if they sold them in the UK, now you've told me they're 40% less fat. they sound perfect! They must just want to keep us Brits fat!:( lol
What flavours do they come in by the way? xxx


myLot reputation of 99/100. Trace86 (2612)   ranked 666 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

Sounds like we need your address to send you a care package! rasp

I absolutely adore the ones with the liquidy caramel inside! It doesn't matter what brand it is, they are all delicious. My husband just bought me a Cadbury one. I am having a hard time eating one square at a time, that is my diet plan for portion control.


My favorite chocolate bar

myLot reputation of 86/100. Pookie_Pie (166)   ranked 26 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

Ooooh naughty! I must admit, liquidy caramel chocolate is really gorgeous, especially the Cadbury's one~ your husband has good taste you lucky girl, lol:)Galaxy Caramel bars are gorgeous too i think, so much nicer than chewy type caramels, which im really not overly keen on.
Why cant they make low fat liquid caramel chocolates? I'm getting a real craving now! xx

5. MassiveStunner (44)   ranked 501 out of 2,223 in chocolate   5 months ago

Im not a big chocolate BAR fan anymore..but when i used to eat chocolate bars i would gravitate toward skor bars..almost everyday..my personal fav


myLot reputation of 86/100. Pookie_Pie (166)   ranked 26 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

Ah, twovotes for Skor bars.. they must be good!
So you've been avoiding the choccy bars since starting bodybuilding?
Thats why when i cheat and have a little treat, i reeeeally want to make it count.
I've had a fair few Bodybuilding Bars, and they just arent the same as real choccy.... although i have spome Peanut Butter n Chocolate Protein Bars that are pretty good.. but not quite good enough when that choccy urge hits ya./ xxx


MassiveStunner (44)   ranked 501 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

No i stopped eating score bars way before i got serious with bodybuilding, im not a candy fan...never really been..and yes im familiar with protein bars and there nothing like a chocolate candy bar....NOTHING..no matter what they say on the commercials or whatever a protein bar will never taste as good as a regular good o suger filled choco bar.

If you are watching your weight, I think dark chocolate is really good for you. But I am not sure if you would like the bitterness in the chocolate. I, myself, only choose dark chocolate and the best brand I have would be Godiva! I personally think their chocolates are to die for! rasp


myLot reputation of 86/100. Pookie_Pie (166)   ranked 26 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

Yes, i tend to choose Dark Chocolate over milk usually, for the health reasons.
I've eaten the 70% cocoa and higher bars before, trying to be good... but trully i havemnt enjoyed them much, because they were just too bitter, and didnt satisfy my sweet cravings, so they really werent worth the calories at all, even if the calories are lower than in milk chocolate.
So what i tend to do now is just have the normal dark choccy, or a much smaller portion of milk chocolate~ like a 1/4 or 1/2 a bar (although i ate a whole turkish delight the other day eek!). xxx

Rocky Road Bars
Road work ahead? Don't worry. It's easy to make gooey marshmallow Rocky Road Bars from cake mix.
Prep Time:15 min
Start to Finish:2 hr
Makes:24 bars

1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® chocolate fudge or devil's food cake mix
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup chopped nuts
3 cups miniature marshmallows
1/3 cup Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting

1. Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease or lightly spray 13x9-inch pan.
2. In large bowl, stir together half of the dry cake mix, the melted butter, water, brown sugar and eggs until smooth. Stir in remaining cake mix and the nuts. Spread in pan. Bake 20 minutes (25 minutes for dark or nonstick pan); sprinkle with marshmallows.
3. Bake 10 to 15 minutes longer (14 to 18 minutes for dark or nonstick pan) or until marshmallows are puffed and golden. In microwavable bowl, microwave frosting uncovered on High 15 seconds.

Oh dear! I dont see how those cake bars you listed a recipe for can possibly be a healthier option, for those watching their calories! Not for me at all.. sorry:(

 
8. myLot reputation of 97/100. momalisa65 (960)   ranked 2,089 out of 2,223 in chocolate   5 months ago

Mmmmm.... I love lots of candy bars.
Peppermint Patties are my favorite.

Ever have a Hershey bar?
How about a Milky Way?
Snickers?
Twix?
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups?

Mallow Cups are made here in PA. They are shaped like a reeses, but they are chocolate with marshmallow creme inside.







myLot reputation of 86/100. Pookie_Pie (166)   ranked 26 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

oh my lawdy! The Peanut Butter Cups and Mallow Cups sound right up my alley! Wow they sound soooo good right now. I adore PB as you already know, and another one of my absolute faves is marshmallow (and woopee! Marshmallow is fat-free isnt it? I know it has lots of sugar in it, but at least the fat's low!).
Why oh why cant i live in the US with you guys, so i can get my hand on all these delicious sounding choccy bars?!
Here in England we do get Milky Ways, Snickers and Twixes. I like milky ways occassionally, if i need something sweet, because they're so small, and presumiably less calories than a big bar, but if im honest i dont really like the taste nearly as much as other bars.
Snickers are yummy though~ i love the caramel, and the nuts are an excellent addition to make me feel like iv had something thats a bit good for me, and a little extyra protein.
Mmmmm, im getting a new craving every day because of this discussion! xxxxxxxxx


myLot reputation of 97/100. momalisa65 (960)   ranked 2,089 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

Awwww...I'd send you some, but they would probably melt along the way!

 
9. myLot reputation of 80/100. Hatley (10825)   ranked 345 out of 2,223 in chocolate   5 months ago

I would have a cadbury dark chocolate bar with pecans and mint bar as it is so delicious and yummy.


myLot reputation of 86/100. Pookie_Pie (166)   ranked 26 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

Oh dear, if there's one thing i hate the taste of it's mint and chocolate.. urgh! I just cant enjoy it all.. but then, i dont really like the flavour of mint al all, so thats why!
I always miss out when peeps pass around the after dinner chocolates, because they're always mint flavoured.. ewwww!
Now chocolate and orange is another thing altogether, give me that any day, and i'll be a very happy bunny;) xxx

thanks for posting and sharing this.... rolleyes

cheers and God bless...


myLot reputation of 86/100. Pookie_Pie (166)   ranked 26 out of 2,223 in chocolate  5 months ago

I had my 1st ever Hersheys bar today delgar~ it was the Peanut Butter flavour that the first poster of this discussion recommended~ and it was just divine!.
As i live in England, i've never seen a Hersheys bar here.. we have lots of Cadburys and Nestle here in the UK... but on our trip to Tescos SuperMarket yesterday evening, i noticed a big orange chocolate bar i hadnt seen before, on the choc stand near the tills. It was pure luck i noticed it, and when i went up to see what it was, i was amazed that it was infact the Peanut & Caramel Skor bar that i really wanted to try.
LOL, i was over the moon and bought 2 (greedy?!).. i think the woman at the tills thought i was demented getting so excited over a candy bar!
Woohoooo at last England may be catching up with the US on the candy front!
They need to get some Watchamacallits accross the pond for me to try next!;) xxxx
