    I used to love MInstrels but I had some the other day and they were awful! The 'crunchy' shell just disintegrated immediately. I agree with @Holly_Scope that Guylian seashells are amazing! They're my Christmas treat.

    Oh that's upsetting to hear. They were my favourite!

    Just picked up some of my all time favourite chocolate which are Reece's Peanut Butter Cups in milk chocolate and white chocolate. I've kept them in the fridge to make them more like those Icy Cups from years gone by, I'm now having some with a cup of tea.

    I remember the days where you could get boxes of seashells for Β£1 or less when they wern't that popular, poundshops and other shops used to sell them cheap. But they are delicious but the price for them nowadays is crazy.

    They remind me of my all time favourite bar of chocolate I ever had, The Marble Bar (Discontinued). It was a mix of white and milk chocolate like these seashells and was so good, I miss them so much.

    I remember "Amazin' Raisin", "Texan" and "Aztec" bars - no idea what they were like though

    I have tried and tested Morrison's Dark Chocolate with 50% cocoa tastes of vanilla πŸ˜‹ sooo much better than Bournville's 36% cocoa plus palm oil 🀨

    I'm not a fan of dark chocolate but if that one tastes of vanilla I might have to try it @WhatThe! Are there any others you'd recommend that aren't bitter?

    I remember Texan bars as a kid, i think they were quite chewy if my memory serves me. I still think Cadbury's are better than most, Galaxy stuff is just weird, it just melts in the mouth but not in a good way, and don't get me started on the American chocolate, Hershey's is it? That is just baddddddβ€¦β€¦πŸ˜

    Oh I'm the opposite @Starman. I love Galaxy chocolate but not really fussed with Cadburys. They definitely both have a distinctive taste. I've heard people say that Hershey's tastes disgusting. I've never had it but I'm intrigued.

    It's deliciously sweet and smooth unlike the 70%+ cocoa bars. I did a taste comparison with a luxury Lidl bar and stuck with Morrison's!

    Yes, I will go to Asda and Tesco to see if they match up to this one. Watch this space 😊

    Looking forward to your recommendations @WhatThe! I don't eat very healthily but this is a little something that I could do πŸ˜‚

    Each to their own eh @Rachel_Scope! I suppose you have to try Hershey's now, then at least you can satisfy your curiosity…..πŸ˜‹

    To me Cadbury's and Nestle have turned into American chocolate, it tastes disgusting these days with the palm oil.

    I rarely ever have chocolate anymore as I simply don't like it anymore, unless its a speciality chocolate that has cocoa butter.
