Moral dilemma: that indescribably superb Belgian chocolate (can't remember the brand name) in the shape of two baby heads.......

Where's the moral dilemma? It's chocolate. Squeamishness issue perhaps, but there's nothing immoral about eating chocolate regardless of the shape into which it has been moulded.

I would have no problem taking an ice-pick to those chocolate babies but I can't even bear to read the news about events like the Newtown massacre.

Yes......... I was sort of sending up the 'smash with a hammer' comment earlier. It of course makes no difference how good the chocolate is - the baby heads are still creepy........... smash away.

You'll feel better once you've got a tasty earlobe or eyeball down you...

Kinder Eggs are prohibited for sale in the USA.

I bought many a Kinder Eggs at the Abu Dhabi Prisonic .

--
UK KitKat is a bit too chocolaty/creamy thick, American KitKat is less soo and one could consume more of the American type before saying enough.

Also KitKat not wrapped in foil just doesn't feel as good as the foil wrapped ones. Like how soda in a glass bottle always tastes better than plastic or can soda.

That's only because of the toy...they've got choc bars instead for the US market...unless you find a Brazilian grocery store, don't know how, but they always seem to manage illegal imports of the eggs

God I hate milk chocolate, vile stuff, invented for the masses as a cheap alternative for the real stuff, basically considered candy...Hershey, 'Cadbury which is now made by Hershey for the US market', it's all crap

And why in this day an age would you even consider eating the milk stuff when there is really good chocolate readily available with a higher cocoa content that is supposedly more healthy.

Because they are different things. Sometimes I want an espresso, sometimes a cafe au lait...

Not that I would even contemplate trying chocolate made with camel milk, but what other part of the camel do they make chocolate from?

Camel chocolate is fine. Quite creamy and not at all weird. Camel milk tablet (Scottish fudge) is lovely.

Dubai Duty Free sells more Kit Kats each year than any other outlet.

It is one of my favourites in her range, I prefer it to the cows milk one as it is much smoother.

Is there chocolate in Hersheys? it looks like candle wax to me?
