The chocolate and sweets appreciation thread

Does it have to be similar value proposition or is £65/kg too much? :D

I like chocolate. I like coconut. I should like bounties but I just can't get my mouth around how sickly sweet they are.

Interesting (or not) fact. Dark Island ale smells exactly like Raspberry Ruffles

Ooft. I'm in.

Try it!

What’s the current infatuation with milk chocolate Orange? What’s wrong with dark choc all of a sudden?
The Terry’s chocolate orange found in shops is almost exclusively milk these days.
Milk and orange; gross.

Don't think it's a current infatuation, haven't they always been milk chocolate?

Bit out of reach for me.

No. exactly like a dark chocolate bounty or no dice.

These dark chocolate peanut butter truffles are my current favourite chocolate

What’s the problem with an actual dark choc bounty?

I saw that the milk choc version has been deleted from the Celebrations packs, but the normal size dark choc ones are still available AFAIK - also loads of (recently expired) boxes of 24 bars available on ebay for about £12.

White Creme Egg.
Too much.

I quite like a creme egg, and I quite like white chocolate.
The sum of the parts is something far too sweet.

Get a grip man, it's January

u ok hun?

Surely the rules are no Easter eggs before valentine's day?

There are no rules on when you can, or cannot, consume chocolate.

Tesco Express Hackney Road going hard on Easter. This was taken in between Christmas and New Years, and doesn't include the end of aisles which also had lots of egg-shaped chocolates.

Aren't the white ones prize winning ones?

Last year I think they did half and half ones.

Waitrose had boxes of white ones, so guessing not (or I am going back and buying the lot and retiring)

Um

I just had a Milo KitKat. Would eat again.

Dark chocolate bounty has been discontinued

Not so - at least according to the manufacturers:

When approached for comment (Nov 2022) Mars Wrigley Confectionery said:
“At the current time Bounty Dark has been delisted, due to temporary operational reasons. The move is very much temporary, and we look forward to bringing the product back in due course.”

So out of date packs on ebay are probably your only current option, although there are some unexpired like here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bounty-dark-chocolate

They expire at the end of the month

AAARRRRGGG!
NOOOOOOO!
I sense a trend towards ‘milk’ chocolate.
It’s much harder to find dark Chocolate Orange then it used to be.
There was a time when it was easy to find dark chocolate with crunch mint bits in. Alas, no more.
Sob. (Cue; Sound of my teeth cheering in rebellious response)

I love Fruit Tingles. These were more chocolate than tingle though so I wouldn't bother with again.

Dark chocolate malteasers. Will be buying again.
