I did have the great fortune to work for Philip Morris who at the time made Toblerone/Daim bars etc., and some of their offices had 'honesty' boxes where you paid what you felt it was worth for a shed load of chocolate. Very similar to Woolworth's having their Pic 'n' Mix right by the exits, back in the day.
When it is discounted, more or less anything Lindt or Lindor is lovely chocolate, better than anything at Hotel Chocolate or Thorntons, Thorntons being particularly unpleasant like the overhyped Ferro Rocher and Lily O'Briens. Aero has always intrigued me, because occasionally it has been exquisite (as well as affordable) but it is inconsistent and occasionally it can be manky. It is true that there is absolutely no decent chocolate in America. We all may suffer disappointments, heartbreak even, but the one thing that delivers every time and never lets you down is Chocolate.

In no particular order. And many more - basically anything but a Topic or Snickers....
