CHOCOLATE is a huge comfort in tough times and can help us through the January blues.
But can you still get your sweet fix without breaking the bank?

Lynsey Hope tested supermarket own brands to see how they compare to the nation’s favourite, Cadbury Dairy Milk.
Cadbury Dairy Milk

NOTHING compares to Cadbury on taste – we all love it.
It smells delicious, too.
But it’s expensive and the bars are shrinking.
Asda Milk Chocolate
200g, £1 (50p/100g)

A VERY chunky bar, but gets a bit sickly after a few squares.
For a budget choice, a perfectly tasty treat.
Great for baking, too.
Waitrose Belgian Milk Chocolate
180g, £1.80 (£1/100g)
Rating: 4/10

IT’S good quality, smooth and creamy but I found it a bit too rich.
It’s palm oil-free, so a good eco choice.
Not my favourite and rather too expensive.
Morrisons Savers Milk Chocolate
100g, 36p (36p/100g)
Rating: 9/10

THIS costs around half the price of a Wispa, let alone Dairy Milk – but it was lovely.
It’s not Cadbury, but at 36p you can’t go wrong.
Lidl Fin Carre Milk Chocolate
100g, 49p (49p/100g)

YOU get nearly twice as much for your £1 as Dairy Milk, so it’s great value.
It was indulgent without being too rich.
I’d go back for this – yummy!
Tesco Milk Chocolate

VERY chunky – and middle of the road.
It’s not the cheapest but is a decent size, ideal for sharing.
Good for baking, too.
Aldi Choceur Milk Chocolate

ANOTHER chunky bar, this one was creamy and flavoursome.
Smooth and melt-in-the-mouth, it is ideal for a cheeky choc fix that is not too expensive.
