Penguin and Club Bars can no longer be called Chocolate

The BBC reports that Penguin and Club Bars can no longer be called chocolate because the coating doesn’t contain enough cocoa solids. The price of chocolate has rocketed so much that the bars will now have a chocolate flavoured coating. 

i would prefer to buy real chocolate coated biscuits less often than I do at present, rather than consume chocolate coated biscuits that taste of plastic.

It’s such a shame that chocolate has become so expensive. It feels like we are going  back in time to the16th century, when cocoa beans were so expensive they were used as currency and were kept under lock and key.

  •   and  . You have introduced ideas here that are too much for my brainface with spiral eyes ‍

    When I was growing up, the only KitKats I saw were at the chocolate and sweet counter of small toy shops or corner shops. The only bars were those of Cadburys or Galaxy. KitKats were just KitKats, Mars Bars, Milky Ways, Marathons, Picnics & so on were just called by their full names. The bars people bought back then were those of chocolate all the way through (or fruit & nut/wholenut) and divided into squares, & that kind of thing.
