Why are chocolate bar makers so unimaginative...why is it only ever mint or orange? What would you like to see

Question

Have you ever noticed how eventually most chocolate bars, at least in the UK, and made in Orange and Mint versions (think Kitkats, Time Outs, Twixes etc). What flavours would you like to see marketed?

Answer 1

Cherrys, Pears, Banana, Lime are all good with chocolate.
I joined the chocoalte tasting club www.hotelchocolat.co.uk they do a great box every month for members.

Answer 2

This is becoming more and more untrue - kitkit and several other candy bars have had limited runs with othe flavors - coffee, for instance. Hershey's recently started a dark chocolate line with dried fruit and nuts - cranberries/blueberries/cherries.

And lots of European candy makers have fun and crazy flavors. They cost a bit more than your average hershey's bar, but are well worth the cost.
Vosges makes everything from sesame-wasabi chocolate to chili-chocolate to cinnamon-macademia.
Ritter has several different kinds, including my favorite - marzipan filled chocolate.

Check out your local organic market or health food co-op, they usually have large selections of interesting candy bars.

My thoughts on the mint/orange issue - some things just go better with chocolate! Orange or mint with chocolate have been around for ages, because they work and are easily appreciated by large numbers of people. Don't forget, candy is a business like everything else. The have to think of thier market. And the market like mint and orange.

Answer 3

Since I do no longer eat chocolate (or anything else that contains sugar), the strange production policies of British sweet makers are now irrelevant for me.
But in the past I have noticed myself that there are no great ideas floating around in the chocolate market. Actually, if you like REAL chocolate, there is absolutely nothing worth eating made in the UK. Belgium and Switzerland are the countries that produce real and most excellent chocolates.

Answer 4

What is your address? I'll send you a box of good ole American candy bars that aren't f*up.

Why in the world would anyone make a mint KitKat or Orange Twix.

Answer 5

well they do make a cherry kitkat bar its really good! and then those orange segment chocolates they also come in raspberry flavor. They are getting a little more creative as time goes by im sure you will see more in the future

Answer 6

We have an awesome chocolate shop in Chichester called Montezuma's.

It's all hand made and has some great flavours.

I've had Mango, banana, Nutmeg, Chilli. The list goes on.

I think they've got a website.

Answer 7

There are raspberry and other flavors also. There's probably a limit to what flavors don't taint the chocolate, though, through reactions on a chemical level or whatever. Sometimes it Just Doesn't Work. *l* You ever made a recipe that you thought sounded great and it was just miserable?

Answer 8

The Peanut butter kitkats are the best invention ever!! I'd like some strawberry dairy milk though, that would be nice!

Answer 9

Try Relish in Commercial Street Leith or Harvey Nichols.Both Edinburgh.So I'm sure they can be found elsewhere.
I can't recall all the singular flavors & the combinations but quite a few.Thanks.

Answer 10

i've had a cherry blossom kitkat. It is nasty to say the least.

At the same time, I also had a lemon cheesecake kitkat. That was worth the money.

Answer 11

I want a toblerone with each chunk different Cherry banana apple pineapple mango passion fruit and rhubarb all in mixed white and milk chocolate but sadly it will never happen.
