So for me the less coconutty taste of the skinnier alternative was better than the original. But tasting better than a Bounty is a low bar, and like the other skinny chocolates this one had a dense dry interior. 7/10 Connor: Put it this way, I’d rather be stranded on Mars than pay for one of these.

It also helps the chocolate harden. Tory MPs demand 'anti-woke' Manchester chief constable replace Met chief Mark Rowley amid row over 'light touch' policing of pro-Palestinian protests in London

Restrictions banning adverts for junk food on television before 9pm and paid-for adverts online will also be delayed by a year. The bars, set to hit the shelves next month, are loaded with date paste, nuts and raisins. It means, technically, they are 75 per cent 'fruit and nut'.
