Violet Crumble is equivalent of Crunchie but not half as nice!

No coconut or beetroot then? :lol:

What's a Black and Green?? Must be after my time, I've been here nearly 11 years!

Why do they call it violet then? I deliberately avoided them in Oz, worried that the inside would taste of parma violets (yeuch!).

Green and Blacks is a brand of more superior chocolate in my opinion! Higher cocoa content.

Tried to explain to one of my students on Friday that chocolate is not a food but an experience. He didn't get it :confused:. Must be a girl thing!

Dunno - I think the wrapper's purple!!

Will look out for Green and Blacks, sounds good. Most men I know prefer dark chocolate but I don't know any who like chocolate as much as girls do :)

I hate/detest/vomit at the mere mention of the cakky gloppy muck but some friends of the girls have asked them to bring them back some UK chocolate because they've been told it's nice - my girls couldn't care less where it comes from, they'll eat it all and don't notice a difference. So first off I need some names of UK stuff that teenagers will like.

Secondly, we were thinking of taking some Aussie chocolate - Cherry Ripe in particular (apparently it's good :confused:) for friends in the UK. Is it worth it? Can you get it there? Will they appreciate it?

I don't need comments about me being weird - it's a given and there's nothing I've not heard already.:D (that's not going to stop some of you obviously), just some advice really :D

Thank you :wub:

Cadbury's buttons are a must!!!! :)

I like Green and Blacks too - but don't think kids would appreciate it... Think Maya Gold is fab.... :)

You can get Thornton's stuff in David Jones and I bought choc gingers in Aldi last week :D. Aldi has some good chocolate, including an organic range.
