    First time I hear about these firms. Neither of them is available in the local supermarkets. By far my favourite is Ion chocolate, a native brand. Probably because I got accustomed to it, because I doubt a Greek firm has really invested in quality. From the foreign brands, I also appreciate côte d'or, but again Ion tastes so much better. The rest are way too sweet in my opinion.

    Ritter Sport is also widely available in Europe, makes sense since it's a German brand. Ritter Sport Coconut & Marzipan are very good. Cote D'Or is so and so, I've had plenty of Swiss chocolate and the commercial ones are only slightly better than normal commercial chocolate.

    I recommend Belgian chocolate as well, I'm a fan of Leonidas. (yes, Crandar, it was founded by Leonidas Kestekides, a Greek immigrant to Belgium)

    Haha, I know Leo, he's well-known to chocolate addicts, like me, but even his brand has a very minimal presence in Greece. Same goes for Ritter sport. Apart from "candies", like Kit Kat, the most frequent chocolate brands to meet are Ion (already mentioned, my favourite), Lacta (also a Greek brand, but not a fan, personally), Pavlidis (again Greek, better than Lacta, but worse than Ion, in my opinion) Toblerone and Crunch. I honestly can't think of anything else. If you ever find any Ion bar, I strongly recommend trying it. After all, Ion is more of a Romanian than a Greek name, isn't it?

    You're not wrong here

    On a similar note, I finally found Cadbury in stores here. Oh the joy, I love a Cadbury Fruit & Nut bar.
