And Cadburys have reduced the quality of their chocolate since the take over, to maximise profits further. I largely try to avoid them along with Nestle, but that mostly leaves you with store own brands & the more expensive but much better quality smaller brands (until they get bought out & ruined in the process!).

I've started seeing Tony's Chocolonely in stores recently, but it's about ยฃ3.80 UK price as opposed to a similarly sized Cadbury's bar which is anywhere from ยฃ1.50 to ยฃ2.00.

It's a shame because I love a good chocolate bar but nearly ยฃ4 is a bit too steep for me.
