What: ChokaBlok Gold Digger Dynamite and The Chocolate Extremist

Where from: £1.59 from Tesco stores (chokablok.com)

Taste assessment: Nothing lifts the spirits for workplace clockwatchers like a big bar of chocolate with a cup of tea midway through the afternoon, so chocoholics will drool over the descriptions of ChokaBlok’s Gold Digger Dynamite and The Chocolate Extremist: the first is packed with milk choc caramel cups and chunks of honeycomb in milk and white chocolate, the second with dark chocolate, brownie pieces and milk balls. What a feast of ingredients! But once you put the first piece in your mouth, it all goes pear-shaped. Too many ingredients compete for dominance.

I had a problem getting through a single piece, never mind a bar.
