Cadbury's make them and they cover them with chocolate

[venta]

Pretty much my favourite chocolate bar is a Double Decker. It's run a close second by a Marathon (which I still resolutely refuse to call a Snickers because, well, it's just silly. And "eating your snickers" sounds like some sort of shoddy euphemism. But I digress.)

So, Double Deckers and Marathons ?

Well, you can now buy a Double Decker with nuts in. Which tastes, not unsurprisingly, like a cross between the two.

So, what's got a hazelnut in every bite?

A: Squirrel shit.

Bad Liz - no biscuit. Or Snickerdecker or whatever it is. Now I'll have to go out and hunt one of these down to see what they're like. Peanuts, or proper nuts by the way?

Like you, Double Deckers are one of my favourite chocolate bars - there's enough substance to them to make them satisfying to fill a hole (behave at the back) and you can't wolf a whole one really quickly since they take some chewing.

In the event of a chocolate emergency though, there's always the good old fashioned standby of a Mars, especially one from the fridge, that never fails to reach the parts other chocolate doesn't reach.

Marathons are so-so - too much caramel gunk and crappy nuts. I'd eat one if there was little else but otherwise I'll pass. Aside from the traditional Mars bar itself I don't find there's much that Mars puts out that I'm actually that bothered by. Nestle too, for that matter, with the sole exception of Kit-Kats (though I'm less fond of the giant chunky ones - too much biscuit, not enough chocolate). And there's not a great deal that Cadburys do that I'm that bothered by either so there's not a great deal of choice.

Topics, however, at least before they shrank the normal size to a single bite whilst cranking the price right up, used to be a decent enough snack. Not even a snack-lite (TM) these days though.

My biggest irritation though is that there aren't any really decent plain chocolate snacks about - none of this milk chocolate nonsense for me, thanks. About the only thing beyond a chocolate orange that I can recall (outside of a regular bar of the stuff) is a Jameson's Raspberry Ruffle, but you can't seem to find those about these days.

Er, I'm not sure actually. Sort of unidentified nuttiness.
If forced to choose, I guess I'd say 'peanuts'.

This is true. However, for a long time I found myself wishing that someone, somewhere would produce a snack which was about the size, shape and fillingness of a Mars bar - but savoury.

The obvious answer would be, say, a sausage roll but most non-bakery are repellently dry, and never seem to me to be quite the right thing. I therefor salute Ginsters for the creation of the Buffet Bar (http://www.ginsters.co.uk/products.cfm?productid=30), which does exactly what I want.

Ginsters' Roasters (http://www.ginsters.co.uk/products.cfm?productid=49) are great too - like a sausage roll but with added bacon.
