Up until lately I had never seen these in the shops to buy, I think even if had I would never of bought one as I don't like dark chocolate. My Mums neighbour came to her door with a box of 48 of them and asked if she would like them for the children. I couldn't help but ask her why she was giving away so many, she said that in her office they have a vending machine n the just simply don't sell so she had boxes upon boxes to get rid of. So we took the box and kindly sad thank you. The chocolate craving kicked in as they were looking at me and I couldn't help but have one. Mars Dark made by Mars Inc and it is a limited edition. It has a nougat bar, with ...  Read the complete review

I'm a massive Mars Bar fan but I don't really like dark chocolate, finding it slightly too rich for my palette. As such, I was in two minds about whether or not to try these limited edition Mars Bars. My mind was made up after seeing them on offer at my local corner shop for 5 bars for a £1.

What we have here, though, is a dark chocolate version of the bar, cunningly disguised under the moniker "Mars Dark". Whether or not it can do any better than its milk chocolate sibling we shall see... The packaging for the Mars Dark is very, very similar to that for the standard Mars Bar. The main colour scheme is almost identical, with just some flashes of what is ...  Read the complete review

INTRODUCTION Despite knowing that pretty much every chocolate bar I consume is bad for me in one way or another, I keep on coming back for more. I unashamedly have a sweet tooth and I like eating my old favourites such as a Twirl or a Twix. I also like trying out new chocolate products that appear in our shops from time to time. However, one thing I have noticed of late is that the corporate giants in the world of chocolate seem to be lacking a bit of imagination in the research and development department. I wonder if the chocolate manufacturers make slight tweaks to existing popular brands as these products have an existing fanbase that would be prepared to ...  Read the complete review
