Cadbury Dairy Milk

Original Beans – Esmeraldas Milk

If you’re a fan of Dairy Milk, you can’t go wrong with this creamy milk chocolate from celebrated chocolate maker Original Beans.

Esmeraldas is made in Switzerland from the finest Ecuadorian Arriba beans and is difficult to put down, with notes of caramel and hazelnut. A touch of sea salt has been added to complement the silky sweetness.

Caramac

Chocolarder – Caramelised Blonde, Ghana 40%

This bar is Chocolarder’s mature take on a childhood favourite – the caramelisation of the milk along with their own Ghanaian cocoa butter gives rise to notes of biscuit, caramel, and sweet shortbread. So if you’re a fan of Carmac, this caramelised white bar is for you.

Twix

Zotter – Butter Caramel

Put your Twix down, and pick up Zotter’s award-winning Butter Caramel bar instead.

It combines chewy caramel with a lightly roasted almond praline and a crunchy caramel crisp. The 50% milk chocolate, which balances out the sweetness of the fillings, should be the last layer to melt, leaving a delightful chocolatey finish on the palate. We’re yet to find a sweet tooth this doesn’t satisfy.

Toblerone

Pralus – Barre Infernale Nougat

The perfect craft chocolate alternative to the airport classic, this sharing bar is a heavenly combination of nougat, French honey, and whole chunks of almonds and pistachios. Coated in a thick layer of smooth milk chocolate. The honey in this Barre is extra special, and comes from the little village of Mars near the Loire.

Sweet and rich with a satisfying crunch, this bar was surely made for sharing… if you resist it all yourself…

Cadbury Fruit & Nut

Choco Del Sol – Trail Mix, Dark Milk 50%

This 50% dark milk chocolate is a fantastic take on a classic combination, and is a brilliant alternative to Cadbury’s Fruit & Nut bar.

Made from Tanzanian cocoa, the chocolate has sweet dried fruit, almonds, salty nuts and crunchy nibs included.

Bounty

Marou – Ben Tre, Coconut Milk 55%

This bar from Marou has a deliciously rich and fugdy mouth feel. The coconut milk beautifully compliments the spicy flavour profile of the Ben Tre cocoa by adding a fruity layer with added notes of raisin, making it a great alternative to a Bounty bar.

Mars Bar

Zotter – Salted Caramel

Soft, chewy, and delicious, you’ll love Zotter’s Salted Caramel bar if you’re a fan of a Mars Bar.

This bar contains salted caramel made in a traditional French style, with a candy-caramel ganache elevated by a pinch of salt and a wonderful, tender-melting almond praline layer. It’s enhanced with a bit of dark chocolate and some salt crystals, coated in a wafer-thin layer of milk chocolate, and all covered in a fine-flavour 70% dark chocolate.

Tony's Chocolonely Milk

Chocolate Makers – Toasted Milk Bar 47%

If you love Tony’s Chocolonely Milk, you need to try Chocolate Makers Toasted Milk bar.

The chocolate is creamy and smooth, with notes of caramel and syrup, and a subtle cookie flavour on the end. The 25% printed on the front of the bar refers to the percentage of cocoa mass without the cocoa butter, meaning that the bar is smooth, creamy, and perfect for kids. But as the percentage usually includes the cocoa butter, we’ve listed this bar as a 47% milk chocolate.

Terry's Chocolate Orange

Askinosie – Davao, Philippines Dark 58% with Orange

Askinosie’s 58% dark bar is made by blending organic oranges – including the peel and pulp – with a dash of orange oil and organic vanilla bean. What’s produced is a fantastically authentic orange flavour and a nice softening touch of vanilla, making it the perfect craft chocolate equivalent to Terry’s Chocolate Orange.

Ferrero Rocher

Mellow – Coconut Milk with Hazelnuts

Ferrero Rocher has nothing on this incredible vegan milk bar from Mellow.

Smooth and creamy, almost like chocolate ganache. The rich coconut milk pairs beautifully with the crunchiness of the hazelnuts, making this vegan milk a must have!

After Eight

Ruket – L’Esterra, Grenada, Dark 73% Box of Neapolitans

While these neopolitans from Ruket aren’t minty like After Eights, they are absolutely perfect for a dinner party. The 73% dark chocolate thins are bold and creamy, with lovely long-lasting notes of ripe fruit and intense cocoa.

Celebrations

Pridi Cacaofevier – 4 Snack-bar Gift Box

If you love tucking into a box of Celebrations, we have the perfect craft chocolate alternative for you.

The snack bars in this giftbox from Pridi taste even better than they look. Each of the bars is covered in a thin layer of 64% dark chocolate and individually wrapped. We found ourselves reminiscing while tasting them – think the craft chocolate version of some of your old corner shop favourites.

The box includes:

• 1x Pridi Sanicka – Peanut and Caramel snack-bar
• 1x Cashew Krup – Cashew Crisp snack-bar
• 1x Tawick – Cookie Caramel snack-bar
