Some of the chocolate we tasted (Image: Chloe Dobinson)
We are nearly at the end of National Chocolate Week (October 16-22) but it doesn't mean we still can't enjoy the sweet stuff. As a nation of chocolate lovers shoppers can't help but a chocolate bar every now and then.
The week, which many people would have guessed, celebrates all things to do with chocolate.
For those who are fans of the confectionary, there are plenty of choices in terms of flavours and brands.
We got to taste test some of the best chocolates on the market all ranging from 95p to £9.50. Even better the products tested are all easily available to buy from supermarkets or online.
We then ranked each item out of 10 to determine the winner. One item clearly stood out in the taste test costing just under £4.50.

Lily O'Brien's Salted Caramel Truffles 200g
Price £5 from Sainsbury's online or in-store.
Rich and indulgent, the chocolate has just enough sweetness thanks to its salted caramel flavour. These are perfect for sharing with family or friends.
Overall score - 7/10
Lindt Lindor Limited Edition Irish Cream 200g
Price £4.50 from Asda online or in-store.
Having tried many flavours of Lindt over the years, the limited-edition Irish Cream is definitely the best so far. These contain a small amount of alcohol so not for everyone.
Overall score - 9/10
Galaxy Smooth Mint Chocolate Block Bar 110g
Price £1.35 from Asda online or in-store.
The classic Cadbury’s bar is a firm favourite with many around the country and we can certainly see why. The delicious chocolate has a subtle flavour of mint which is just enough so that it doesn’t overpower the smooth flavour of Galaxy.
