Most of the local tourist convienience stores sell Cadbury's, though it can taste slightly different through the hot & cold fluctuaions that it's been through,,,,,,,,,,,,

As mentioned you can buy very small bars of 'Fruit & Nut'. You can also buy 'Kit Kat'. This is all I have ever seen in Goa as far as chocolate is concerned. My GF is a chocoholic so we have tried to find good choc' but doesn't exist. Anyway you should eat more fruit!!!

Cadbury's Milk does not qualify as chocolate! Not enough cocoa solids.
I have seen Lindt somewhere so it is available. Good luck

I quite liked the bars called 'Trunky' hilarious packaging.

Oh and the Kit Kat is dissapointing. Nice choc ices if you buy from a shop and are not half melted.

Try the Indian freshly made sweets but make sure you but them fresh from the shop that makes them as they do not keep long.

To the Brits there is no other chocolate but Cadbury's.

The favourite brand in Goa used to be '5star'

Everone knows that Cadbury's aint real chocolate. God don't ya just love the British! It's as if Germany, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Holland don't exist... they all make chocolate BETTER than Cadbury's or in fact most UK manfrs'. When do you see Cadburys getting medals for their produce!

Do Cadbury's make chocolate? I thought they just made a pasty brown substance with vegetable oil and chemicals modelled on commercial plastic. It has more sugar (73%) than cocoa (14%). The consistency is more like cooking chocolate or the stuff you give to dogs (or the stuff that dogs leave on the pavement).

Contrast this with Lindt. So little sugar (8%), so much cocoa (85%), no colourings, no pesticides and pure ingredients. The texture is velvety and very intense and dark. This is chocolate.

It says "British" on my passport, but it must be wrong!
