Supermarket Chocolate Taste Test: M&S Belgian Bar Beats Cadbury

A taste test of supermarket own-brand chocolates has found that M&S Belgian chocolate bar outperforms Cadbury, according to a review by the Express. The test compared M&S, Tesco, Asda, and Sainsbury's milk chocolate bars against Cadbury's equivalent.

Asda's milk chocolate bar, priced at £1.20 for 200g, was easy to break but did not melt smoothly and left a slightly odd aftertaste. It was deemed acceptable for baking but not the preferred choice for eating. Cadbury's equivalent costs £2, making Asda's 80p cheaper.

Sainsbury's milk chocolate bar, at £1.30 for 200g, was more enjoyable. It melted easily in the mouth, had a delightful taste without artificial notes, and worked well for baking. It is 70p cheaper than Cadbury's.

Tesco's milk chocolate bar, also £1.20 for 200g, was disappointing. It was tough to bite, grainy, and did not melt well, leaving a chewy texture. The reviewer found it inferior to Asda and Sainsbury's options.

M&S Belgian chocolate bar, at £2.10 for 180g, was the standout. It was rich, creamy, and smooth, melting beautifully. Despite the higher price and uneven square sizes, it was preferred over Cadbury's. For best value, the reviewer recommended Sainsbury's.
