The price is high for being fairtrade, ethical etc not taste.

Looks like that's sold by a 3rd party seller, as opposed to Amazon like the milk one. I did also see free postage, but at checkout it applies postage which is odd - must be set by the 3rd party seller

These are larger bars, though. £1.29/100g, as opposed to Lindt which is usually £1.50+/100g etc. Also better packaging, better ethics etc

Coop own brand milk chocolate for £1 150g is one of my favourite scoff chocolates, it tastes like nestle Easter eggs.

Will be interesting to see how this compares to G&B

Milk caramel sea salt is £1.68 with free delivery!!! (Min order = 2)

Got excited but even though says free delivery both similarly priced 3rd party sellers tack on £5.99 delivery charge. Not sure what's wrong with the system there....

Taste like cheap Easter eggs 😬 (edited)

That's a yes then, I'm happy with their response, there's only so much one can do, I'll take it.

It's chocolate. It's OK chocolate. But nothing special about it. Except the price.

Cadburys is grim. How dare you put it in the same category as lindt. Heathens.

My word, the people comparing this to Cadbury's - give your heads a wobble! And the fact people are comparing these to Lindt prices when the Lindt bars are literally half the size... deary me.

They were giving these away in Liverpool yesterday. I thought it was okay, like a thick daim bar with added salt but nothing special - but free's free!

The salted caramel one is amazing!

Ordered the pretzel one to cheer my daughter up during GCSEsThanks OP

Hope she does well

Everyone moaning about the price and taste. You're paying for a chocolate bar that you know is slave free and it's from a company with impeccable ethics.

Categorically not true. Do they have potential gaps in their supply chain? Yes. Are they as bad as Cadbury's to anywhere near as much a degree?

No. No they are not. Enjoy the taste of that sweet child labour next time you tuck into a bar of Dairy Milk.

A lot of whiny comments here, chocolate is to be enjoyed!

Anyway, as someone who worked for Cadburys as an expert taster for the best part of a decade, i'm voting this hot!

Thanks, S&S is 5% which is a minimal saving but will see if I still fancy it come month end. Have been wanting to try for a while after seeing reviews albeit some mixed.

My son loves this, ordered, thanks for posting

£2.75 clubcard price in Tesco too

Why are these so special? I don't get it

Thanks OP

I want to like Tony's for their stance on actively eliminating child labout, but their chocolate just tastes like cheap christmas chocolate.

And the fact it comes as a difficult to bite solid lump doesn't make it any better

my preferred chocolate bar. one of the few that doesnt have oil in it, once you notice that oil taste in cheaper chocolate like cadburys its hard to go back.

One of THE most annoying things about Tony's Chocolonely is the deliberately bizarre shape of the bars - they claim it's for a purpose, but the only purpose I can see is that it prevents you from just breaking off a small quantity - just a few squares - and more or less obliges you to eat half a bar or more at a go.

I think that's downright dishonest from a company making ethical claims - causing people to eat more chocolate certainly isn't ethical in a society where Type 2 diabetes is wrecking health and wrecking the NHS.

£2.33!!!…..I would want to sleep with Tony for that.

Cadburys is nothing special, certainly. But then neither is this. It’s all in the clever niche marketing and the high price. Think emperor’s clothes.

There shouldn't be any products which aren't "fair" and considering cadbury's was a quaker product it is easy to see the similarities between the two.

However, it isn't worth eating this chocolate it tastes horrible for UK/European palette. The calories you are putting through your body vs taste just isn't worth it. Cadbury's is also not good but way better than Tony's. Also, Tony's is marketing their FAIRNESS but I'm not sure it is any fairer than Cadbury's etc.

Andy_Barber22/05/2022 14:17

Why are these so special? I don't get it

Their stance is that they're actively investigating child labour in their supply chain rather than just taking their suppliers' words for it like other manufacturers do

Thanks as always @NP23 for adding info

Thanks, got a couple of the dark ones to try. Shame the sea salt one is charging me £5,99 delivery as that's my fave! Would love to try the white one too, but sadly highly priced

Sainsburys do a small bar of this choc for around £1.30/ £1.50 can’t remember Exactly…. But I tried the salted caramel 1 it was lovely for anybody not wanting a big bar and just to try it. X
