Similar brands to Cadbury?

Sainsbury's home brand chocolate always gets good reviews.

I find the Choceur (sp?) one from Aldi has a very similar texture to Cadburys and is much creamier.
I've hugely gone off Cadburys now - their bars and share bags have become so tiny for such a huge price.

I agree. I love this. A great big bar of yummy creamy chocolate for about a £1.

Waitrose Belgian chocolate (all varieties) is pretty good, and about £1.60 a bar. Cadburys is vile now, it's really greasy, and as for Hershey's, well that tastes like the smell of baby sick...

Their Belgian chocolate is lovely. IIRC it was on offer this time last year - 2 x 200g for £3, or BOGOF?

Lets get a little perspective. If we were born and raised in the good old US of A, we'd think of Hershey's as the gold standard rather than the bottom of the barrel.

Agreed. American chocolate is something else (something other than chocolate!)

If you no longer like Cadbury's why not educate your palate and try something different?

I think the OP likes chocolate but was hoping for a cheaper equivalent.
Not something that was more expensive and different.

If you keep an eye on the price/100g then you can occasionally spot good deals on the brand you like, rather than bumbling around trying to replace it at a cheaper price.

Taking a random example: Heroes or Roses, usually about 61p/100g (as opposed to, say, Lidl muti-pack choc bars at 35p/100g). These are currently 46.4p/100g when bought at 320grams in Asda.

I keep a mental "buying price" in my head for posh/branded chocs about this time of year and I'd be happy to buy any that worked out at 50p/100g net, so if I were looking and saw that price I'd know to just buy them.

Really like the chocolate from Lidl's, but do prefer Galaxy

Sainsbury's own brand is pretty good, and I love Galaxy & Milka.
As for American chocolate, I think it must contravene trade descriptions!
