YouGov also revealed the nation’s favourite Cadbury Heroes and Celebrations.
In the Heroes box, Twirl came out on top with 34%, followed by Dairy Milk (33%) and Wispa (29%).

‘As Christmas draws in families and workplaces will soon be stocking up on tubs of selection chocolates, followed shortly thereafter by bickering over the best treats contained within,’ said YouGov.
‘A lucky few will experience a perfect harmony of preferences, finding that the chocolates they like the most are hated by everyone they’re sharing them with.
‘But in far more cases an unseemly scrabble for the best chocolates will take place, leaving the weaker members of the group to scavenge through a sad-looking tub of mini-Bountys.’
