Personally I dislike Lindt in every way: they have dodgy safety and labour standards and are verboten in my house.

Supermarket stuff: Tony's Chocolonely salted caramel (from the Netherlands) is super, and Ritter Sport Cornflakes is nice. Lidl has a white chocolate I could eat in huge quantities and I don't even really like white chocolate that much.

For British brands — Duffy's and Damian Allsop. I think Damian Allsop's water ganache chocolate is possibly the best in the world.

When I was living in Germany I could swear by Ritter squares but they are crazy overpriced in the states for what they are.

They relatively recently essentially doubled in price in Lidl in the UK.

Some sort of confluence of Brexit and cocoa prices must have fundamentally broken Lidl's ability to purchase Ritter Sport in huge bulk and discount it.

I managed to use it as a brief entreaty to the chocolate cortex of my will-power-less brain that I should maybe not buy it again because it's now too expensive.

But now I've mentioned it...
