I was really talking about chocolate aimed at kids, valor has been around for ages, but the size of the bar was too big for it to be an individual bar to be eaten in one go, if you see what I mean.

So of course when I saw the first little fruit and nut or mars bar, milkyway, etc which was specially for children I was gobsmacked, because they did not exist in Galicia 30 odd years ago even.

I like the chocolate truffles they sell in Mercadona (their own brand ones) - unbelievably cheap for the quality. I've given them to house guests in the past and they have promptly gone off and bought boxes of them to take home as presents.

I currently have a dozen Cadbury's Creme Eggs sitting in my fridge, waiting to be given out to the neighbours' kids at Easter. They're far too sweet for me, but they went down a storm here last year, I don't think the kids had seen them before.

I have to say i do love white chocolate.

But, i have found the best chocolate is the German and Swiss stuff they sell in 'Schlecker'.

Yes they are very good!
I usually make my own truffles, but after sampling those I saved myself the work last Christmas and bought some in.

They are possibly the vilest, sickliest sweet on the planet.

For me, the height of self indulgence is Bendick's Bittermints. Pure gastro porn.

Nothing like a Galaxy, whatever it's content

bil

O god no. Galaxy is just vile.

That´s a relief, I´m having some homebrand Mercadona chocolate now, the one with the mintfilling, hmmmm.

Well, if Creme Eggs weren't so sickly, there's no way they would survive in my fridge for the best part of two months! Anyway, compared to what I see the kids eating and drinking for breakfast on their way to school, they are practically health food.

I offered a group of kids some Thornton's toffee one Christmas, and they looked at it as though I was trying to poison them until one or two of the braver ones tried a piece, then they decided it was quite nice.

Now that really is the most vile chocolate ever made!

bil

Thornton's banana toffee. Mmmmmmmmm......

I find one thing that never tastes like Banana is artificial Banana, doesn't matter what it's in

bil

Sometimes, even tho it's synthetic and different, it works. If you have never tried Thornton's banana toffee, you ought to.

Mataroni

And a good price tag too!

I'm just thrilled that you can easily buy "sin azucar" chocolate here! I dont eat sugar and in the UK its not easy to get hold of sugar free chocci. Here, its everywhere!!!!
