Best chocolate-covered wafer

Tunnock's

KKC 2nd and KK 3rd

fuck nestle 4 lyfe

Am I missing any?

Club
Blue Riband

Also I always loved the bit on the Tunnock's wrapper that reads '4 Million of these sugary bastards made, sold, and eaten every week'.

a club isn't a wafer, is it? it's just biscuit.

Yeah, Club's just biscuit. Not seen a Blue Ribband in years.

No Manner, no wafer/waffle cred.

Ferrero Rocher is one of the few chocolate snacks I actually enjoy, though I kind of want to vote Tunnock's just because it's Tunnock's.

let's stop fucking around here, drifter all the way

Tunnock's Caramel Wafer - I think of this as being the platonic essence; there's no fancy branding or product name, no clever shape; it's just a brick of chewy, crispy wafer & caramel with a lick of chocolate hiding its modesty.

Kit Kat / Kit Kat Chunky - This was probably my introduction to the form as a nipper. Residual affection, but not eaten one in years.

Drifter - Nestle, sadly (as are KKs, aren't they?), but there's a really satisfying chewiness to these.

Time Out - Pleasant, but a bit lightweight and brittle, which is probably caused by the use of flake-y chocolate in the middle rather than caramel.

Lion Bar - Very satisfyingly meaty, from memory. Nestle again? Not had one in a long time.

Kinder Bueno - A favourite of mine, as a lover of hazelnutty milky goodness, but as a shell of wafer rather than a sandwich, it feels like a different thing, slightly.

Ferrero Rocher - Debated not including this weird ball-shaped aberration, but they are lush, and technically qualify.

tunnocks but i will f/w any of these cept rocher, also blue riband otm

not seen this for years though. and why would you even bother when you can buy a tunnocks?

but i think i like a caramel log more than a wafer.

someone should cover these in chocolate

I have never seen this strange Club venture into wafer territory.

My 'wtf is wafer, how do you make it?' Q is serious, btw; wtf is it? Have any of us made one? Is it worth bothering to try?

xpost FUCK ME I FOGOT PINK WAFERS

But that's OK as not chocolate-covered. Phew.

can we start a separate poll about politics this is the pure form itt

eatin a toffee crisp atm, spiritual brother to this poll imo

The best thing ever to come out of Switzerland, and probably the basis all English wafers are copied from: http://www.kaegi-ag.ch/produkte/waffeln-mit-milchschokolade.html

Occasionally we buy those big bags of little continetal wafers from the supermarket. I imagine Lidl or Aldi would probably be a good place to get them. Not all chocolate-covered, but awesome.

Yeah, Lidl and Aldi both carry Manner stuff with a different brand name worldwide.

Must investigate.

Em bought me a Tunnock's Teacake cushion a while ago, cos they didn't do these yet. Now they do. Would f/w this cushion.

Oooh, didn't know Ritter Sport [wtf with the 'Sport', eh?] did a wafer.

Voting kitkat chunky because I have lately been enjoying the Peanut Butter variant.

Wikipedia seems to have got rid of its huge chart of kitkat varieties. Shame; the Japanese cult of kitkat is… idk… I don't really understand it.

oh, ok. found a list of Japanese kitkat flavours:

Aloe Vera. Aloe Yogurt. Apple. Apple Vinegar. Azuki (red bean). Banana. Beet. Bitter Almond. Black Tea. Blueberry. Blueberry Cheesecake. Bubblegum. Brown Sugar Kinako. Café Latte with Hokkaidō Milk.

I'm a strict pink wafer man these days through reasons of veganity. Where are the dark chocolate non-milky options, biscuiteers?

Pink wafers own all the puny chocolate-covered wafers.

The "Sport" in Ritter Sport comes from the idea that you pop off a single cubelet whilst skiing or biking or whatever for a quick sugar boost. The German slogan is "Square. Practical. Good." Wafers are also used as sports nutrition among German-speaking family skiers to this day. I am not kidding.

Cool.

generic Kit Kat easy, prefer my chocolate to outweigh my wafer. Kit Kat Crunchy Peanut Butter as a write-in

Picnic bar slays Lion bar because raisins

God no that's why it loses. Is Picnic a wafer? Never had one because eurgh raisins.

always thought of a Picnic as a Lion with wafers but

a Lion with raisins i mean

caramel is usually bland and sickly and effs your teeth so i discount anything with that in except Picnics

these are all just the worst fucking confection

rationing is over you shits

Best chocolate-covered challops

I've had a Tunnocks, a Drifter, and a Time Out today now, and you know what? I think I might've enjoyed the Time Out most.

I do these things so you don't have to.

RIP never forget Flaky Flix:

That literally looks like an accident in a biscuit factory.

It's like a Drifter with leprosy.

Time Out for me

US voters are gonna skew this poll towards Kit Kat since all the others are hard to find here

sorry those first 2 pics were poorly rendered home recreations (by a "chef") of Flaky Flix. I think they disappeared pre-internet/digital camera/food bloggery so detailed pictures of them are hard to come by.

chocolate wafers covered in fudge and rolled in crushed corn flakes is the whole idea.

what a horrid thing to do to fudge

ooft forgot about Taxi, that is a great choc wafer, very caramely.

are nillas wafers or biscuits?
because if nilla is a wafer, then so are whatever are in twix

I used to love a Taxi when I was a kid. Layer of puffed rice on top too iirc?

Give it up.

On the basis of a linkless appeal to german authority? Not likely. I checked the german site (knew my grade B in GCSE german would pay off one day), and they quote Clara Ritter's argument that it should fit in a jacket pocket and not break etc. Putting aside whether this is a regular 3-pocket sports jacket or a nebulous hiking/skiing coat, there's no mention I can find of it being named after ease of eating *during sports* like you said. Unless yr gonna link up some support for that, I'll consider our delicious, chocolatey beef at an end ;)

Although all this is making me wish I could break off a few squares of Ritter Sport Waffel, eat them whilst engaged in non-sporting activities, and then return the suitably-shaped remnant of the bar to the breast pocket of my tailored tweed jacket, just as the makers intended.

Taxi otm, but second to tunnock's

Of these I have only eaten Kit-Kat, which has 'chocolate' that tastes only of sugar and has no discernable cacao content at all.

I like the American Kit Kats (which are made by Hershey's

suddenly everything is clear

voted Lion Bar - possibly my favorite candy bar ever!

I miss the readiness of their availability in UK/Ireland/etc - in the US, you usually only find them in specialty shops (for drastically inflated import prices).

there's also this now

http://images.mysupermarket.co.uk/ProductsDetailed/0/194800.jpg

my regular grocery store (US) stocks Lion bars - look in the imports or international/ethnic foods section

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Kit kat chunky is boss. I'm a big fan of wafery chocolate bars in general; much nicer than your claggy caramel nonsense.

Little Debbie Nutty Bars obvs

yall don't have pink snacks?

http://www.screenscene.ie/images/letters/cadbury_garda_6.jpg

i guess milky way cripsy rolls also qualify

of the ones u got up there i fuck w/ the lion bar, buenos & ferrero rocher. drifters are fucking disgusting.

I had my first Tunnock this week thanks to this poll, wasn't too impressed. I thought it was stale but that's part of the appeal apparently. Glad I voted for Kit Kat.

chunky kit kat gets the chocolate/wafer ratio irrevocably wrong

you bite off the chocolate you fool

rubbish new name is otm, they're fucked up

i've never tried the tunnock one either but s/o to their tea cakes for being vegetarian-friendly via lack of beef gelatin

harsh criticism from the zvookster

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

rubbish new name is otm, they're fucked up

Kit Kat Chunky is called Big Kat in the US

http://junkfoodnews.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/kitkatbk.jpg

once had a regular Kit Kat where the wafer had been missed out, that got the chocolate/wafer ratio just about right i think

The wafer is the point. The chocolate just holds it together.

I think this is my favourite thread ever. Veering towards Drifters at the moment; it's the chewiness. I know Nestle fuck babies to death but I can't resist.

I've always liked Drifter. However, I've had trouble obtaining it recently as not many shops seem to sell it.

was very disappointed to spend nearly 3 weeks back in the uk and not find a drifter, i thought maybe they were gone. i had a boost instead :/

Slightly rippled with a flat underside.

LEAF FALLS NEAR CAT

LOST CUP

wafers can eat my balls tbh

drifters either got a major re-release lately or the dodge shop i work over found a box from 1997, they are great

btw nv tayto are releasing a chocolate covered crisp wtf ikr

NV OTM

fucking hell

http://static.independent.ie/incoming/article29184990.ece/ALTERNATES/h342/tayto.jpg

i'll eat mad shit as much as anybody and that does not look appetizing

wtf is that thing

it is, wtf, i think they released it on the sly when they heard thatcher dropped

Chocolate + cheese, sounds good to me

http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view/512814/surprised-cat-o.gif

I can't decide whether to eat that bar of flush it down the nearest toilet.

Salted caramel has a lot to answer for.

My wife is uncommonly excited at the idea of that cheese and onion crisp chocolate.

I'm going to seek it out tomorrow for research purposes. Only 10,000 available

If you find any, could you post me one? Entirely serious.

I'm sure that could be arranged. Although a quick twitter search indicates that they're pretty thin on the ground at the moment

Sadface.

There is a Ben & jerry's flavour which contains chocolate-covered crisps btw, it is as amazing as it sounds

Drifters have been 50p in the student shop for about 2 months now. Lion Bars too.
