| So I bought a Kit Kat Chunky Coconut Edition yesterday, ignoring the warning at the till that I made a 'bad choice' and that the fudge special edition is better. So here's my 'review':
Rather than have some delicious coconut filling within the crispy wafer biscuit that lies underneath a smooth layer of chocolate, it's just a regular Kit Kat Chunky (good!) covered with coconut flavoured chocolate (bad!). Not that coconut is bad at all, but it's the fact it's coconut flavoured that takes the biscuit (no pun intended). It tastes like a Kit Kat has been dipped in coconut shampoo.
It's not bad per se, but it does leave the taste of coconut shampoo in your mouth, which could provide you with negative utility. You're better off buying a Bounty Bar. Or a horse burger.
62%
Pros: It's an unhealthily delicious Kit Kat Chunky - those wafer biscuits melt in the mouth
Cons: That Kit Kat Chunky is surrounded by coconut flavour chocolate.

| Authentic Kit Kat Chunky - /10. The very IDEA of making a PEANUT BUTTER version, compounded with the fact that it BEAT WHITE CHOCOLATE in a contest - /10. |

| I love the original Kit Kat Chunky so I won't be going anywhere near that *shudder* coconut one. Brave man to try that one!
Now, Wispa Gold is a cracking little treat. Just as tasty as the regular one. |

| Just had a Special K Bliss: Chocolate & Orange cereal bar as part of my lunch.
Pros:
Good serving with generous helpings of orange Delicous chocolate layer across the bottom Only 90 calories Flavoursome
Cons:
Went out of date on 25/12/12; didn't notice until after consumption.
59%
I feel this cereal bar needs a yearly update. Had this been the 2013 edition, it would have ranked at least 20% higher. Disappointing effort from the usually-reliable folks at Special K.

| I've had a fair old chuckle at this thread so far. In fact, you've inspired me to march out and buy a random chocolate bar on Saturday for the purpose of reviewing. |

| This looks like a laugh. Today I had a Euroshopper Milk Chocolate bar. Pros:Pricing was excellent, only 50p Good size to money ratio, it was the size of a big bar of Dairy Milk Cons:It didn't taste like chocolate It didn't smell like chocolate Honestly, I'm not even sure it was chocolate Rating: 17%Only good thing coming out of this mockolate experience was my wallet was still full after purchasing this. Avoid. |

| I could have a look at the fudge one, if sporky hasn't already. What other flavours are there? Oh, and I've been a fan of the peanut butter one for a while now. *raises flame shield*Jay: Another worthy review. |

| I'm with you Stu, peanut butter flavour is a good addition to the Kit Kat Chunkie family. |

| Peanut butter is one of those things that's grown on me in recent years. I used to loathe it as a child.
Right! I will re-purchase a Peanut Butter Kit Kat Chunky at the weekend so that the experience is fresh in my mind, and then I'll review it to within an inch of its wrapper. |

| I love Peanut Butter Kit Kats, probably my favourite chocolate bar right now. I think I might have to try the mint Kit Kat Chunky, seems promising. |

| I had a twix. A twix, I remember them being a lot more popular, like mars bar popular. Did they have a decline or did I just randomly stop seeing them for a few years, maybe it's all in my head, who knows They seem to be more popular now again so I had one, and it's not quite how I remember, drier and the caramel isn't that great, so I'm putting it somewhere around the 30s/100. 32 maybe, yeah that's about right. I'm firmly in the anti-peanut butter camp, so a peanut butter kit-kat sounds awful , well I say that, but I must not have eaten it in over a decade, peanut butter that is, I've got some kit-kats in the freezer (seems to make them taste nicer, and I'll credit that to whoever it was that told me on CVG, sorry can't remember who ) |

YES! Those are the King of snacks, southern fried ones are the best. |

32 maybe, yeah that's about right. I still have Twixes from time to time. They are fairly disappointing every time, but better than Mars Bars. |

| Twix bars? Mars bars? Good heavens. ~ Go Ahead! Chocolate Thins - StrawberryPros:Double pack Only 72 calories per slice Milk chocolate topping an light wafer biscuit a winning combo Strawberry puree and Sultana filling at a good balance Cons:Not that filling Surely not that healthy despite being part of the Go Ahead! brand 75%I'd definitely have one of these again, but I'm not convinced about their value as part of the Go Ahead! range. Only a pound for five in Tesco at the moment though. |

Moreish Taste like Mr Kipling's Bakewell Slices Clear packaging through which to see the deliciousness Doesn't taste of lemons, despite saying so Inexpensive (£1 for four!)
-
Contains lemon. Lemon is rubbish Packet isn't easy to reseal, may go stale There aren't enough in the world to eat Only four per pack

Overlook the fact that eating loads of them will make you fat, everyone should eat at least four twelve of these.

| Every so often I think, "F*** it, I'll have a Double Decker". Today, I did just that.
The Double Decker is one of those bars that is almost too busy for its own good. The chocolate encases nougat and a "crunchy cereal bottom", which makes it sound unappealing. It's not, but equally it's not a bar I could have all the time. Anyway!
Pros: Many components ensure variety between bars Not as madly high on fat content as it could be (15.7% of daily recommended dose) Cadbury's chocolate always satisfies
Cons: Many components ensure lack of consistency between bars A bit too big

| Tesco Everyday Value Chocolate Chip Cake BarsBESPOKE PHOTOGRAPHY, GRACKLAAAAAZPROS: Actual Chocolate Bars are not only individually wrapped, but the individual wrappers are individually sell-by-dated. Value for money CONS: Might be a bit sweet for some I'll be honest, I opened these with low expectations, and actually had them exceeded. They're an appropriately sweet cakey mush with chocolate chips in. Not high cake art, but decent enough. 86%.50p for a box of five, Tesco. |
