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.

Eeuw! My two least favourite chocolate bars! I bet you like Boost, too, don't you?

Anything with rice krispies, nougat or nuts in it is bad.

Aww, maaaan! DoubleDeckers++!

But Marathons are manky, peanuts need dry-roasted-flavour chemicals!

Double deckers are my favorite too. The new Cadburys Dairy Milk with wafer is quickly catching up on the top spot though.....incidently have you been here?

What's it called? Is it a Double Deckathon or a Maradecker?

Either of which would be cool.

Didn't the Marathon recipe change when it became Snickers. I have a feeling it did, which is some justification for my bizarre insistance on calling it by the name on the packet.

I with you on calling Marathon Bars by their proper name. Same goes for Opal Fruits.

But Marathon are made by Mars (or Masterfoods, or whatever they're called these days) not Cadbury, so have superior chocolate on them, obviously.

For a moment I was deceived into thinking that the tuck shop here at work might have been stocked with these; but no, I had to make do with a bog-standard Double Decker...

In return to your subject line:

Loads of good (well, sort of good) stuff at, and linked from, http://www.markmcm2002.verysmooth.co.uk/ads_a-f1.html .

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.

There are plain chocolate Mars bars (?Midnight Mars) but yes, in general, virtually no snack-type bars in plain chocolate.
