Geoff:
Almond? Bountys are coconut bars. They are covered with either milk 
chocolate  or dark chocolate. I prefer the latter which are not sold in 
every confectioners.

Geoff:
Energy is the standard UK title used in the analysis of contents. Probably 
because a lot of products quote both kcals and kJs on the container.
