The chocolate and sweets appreciation thread

This is what the gf has said. They're sugary crack apparently so I'm shouldn't buy them (not that they've appealed).

OMG. Pinballs. I can smash a packet in minutes. I was addicted for a while but I've weaned myself off them. I relapsed yesterday though.

gave me a massive headache and made me really angry for a while.

Surprisingly this really makes me want to try them. Are you in advertising? You should be.

These pinball things sound a bit like dodo cough tablets, which I think had some psuedoephedrine in them. A colleague once gave me a dodo tablet shortly before I went out to buy some fruit and veg and I was amazed I didn't get into any fights in the market - I was really wired and aggressive.

Dairy Milk and Ritz combo - I thought it might be interesting but it really wasn't.

Has anyone here been to the Ritter sport factory? My elder son went a couple of years ago and came back with a huge carrier bag full of their stuff. If I ride up the Rhine again one day, I'll seek it out.

Haha, yeah, I sort of am, for my many many sins

any of that Norwegian salty licorice shizzle is alright by me

Commonwealth games opening ceremony featured many giant Tunnocks Teacakes

Not sweets but this stuff is like crack to me.

All the fruit found within has been candied and combined with the salted nuts provides a moorishley addictive sweet and salty combination.

Blurghhhh

How DARE they!

Bet the new slimline Toblerone costs the same too, pshhhh..

It was a case of making them smaller or increasing the cost. They opted for the former (for now)

I lol'd at how they said they wanted the Toblerone to remain "affordable", like a genuine cost of living.

Snickers creamy Peanut Butter are amazing.

Picked up a pack of these Sour Patch Kids the other day. Just about sour enough, but a bit more sticky than chewy which lets them down a tiny bit. Would recommend.

Ah, it was the "extreme" version.

Have caramacs vanished from Earth?

I've been (casually) looking in supermarkets, but always come away wanting.

Any high street sightings, let me know!

Still available, but more of a cornershop item. See also finger of fudge and a chomp bar.

Tracker bars are getting hard to find too :(

Maybe try a Youth Hostel, they always seemed to be in their packed lunches when I was a kid.
