On Christmas morning, no matter how you celebrate, there are a few things that always happen:
a) Someone will crack open a beer far too early and be incoherent before dessert,
b) The designated cook will shoo everyone out of the kitchen, even though they really do need help and,
c) There will be a box of Cadbury Favourites wrapped up under the tree for you.
Wrapping it makes no sense, because the shape and size of the box is so obvious you could figure out what it is blindfolded. But, hey, it’s chocolate, so you rip off the paper and say ‘Wow’, just to make Mum happy.
And then once it’s open, you carefully examine your box. What’s the Turkish Delight to Caramello ratio? Since when is Old Gold included? Why are there so many Cherry Ripes and where is the nearest bin?
Not all Favourites are created equal and what you first select out of a Favourites box says a lot about you.
So, we’ve taken it all into consideration and ranked the chocolates in a Favourites box from god awful to God tier.

Oh gosh, I love Old Gold and I think Cherry Ripe is the best chocolate ever invented. I also cannot sanction the removal of Turkish Delight because it is my Dad's favourite. Finally white chocolate is revolting. Lol different strokes for different folks.
Cadburys is awful since the Americans bought it and changed the recipe to suit Americans’ ultra sweet palate (despite promising they wouldn’t). No longer has full-cream dairy milk and clearly full of artificial sweetener that burns the back of the throat. Ugh! Whittakers is closer now to the old Cadburys. Thanks Cadburys for helping me eat less chocolate.
Agree, Cadbury's doesn't even taste like chocolate any more. I love Whittaker's, especially their coconut block, and Aldi has a couple of great ones too - the Choceur range is really good, and so is the fancier Moser Roth one.
Cadbury's has known joined the ultrasweet cheap and nasty quality. (Although not at a cheap and nasty price) All hail Whittaker's!
