LAST WEEK, WHEN we posted a controversial hierarchy of Irish chocolate bars, there was indignation that the Purple Snack was ranked in mid-tier.

Some of us DailyEdge.ie and TheJournal.ie towers also thought that the Purple Snack was misrepresented – and Purple Snack, if you wouldn’t mind, we’d like to make it up to you. You are beautiful and we love you. Here’s why.

1. Dairy Milk chocolate just tastes better wrapped around a nice biscuit

2. And even on the rare occasion you get a biscuitless Snack, it’s still top notch

3. It’s probably the ultimate accompaniment to a cup of tea

Biscuits are nice. Pastries are great. But wouldn’t you trade them both for a Purple Snack?

4. Or a post-lunch treat

It’s so much smaller than an actual bar of chocolate, so you’re actually making healthy choices!

5. Nibbling all the chocolate off first prolongs the joy

And doing it without breaking the biscuit is a real skill that you SHOULD be able to put on your CV.

6. But sometimes you have to just horse straight into it

7. A 12-pack is the most beautiful sight you can see upon opening a kitchen press

8. And you are absolutely right, Cadbury. ‘Tis lovely

Whoops!
