And what about those Joffa cakes? Are they any good? Should I try them next?
Were they coated with chocolate or just plain? I freeze them and then have them with either coffee or tea!

If you think the digestives are good, try the ginger nut by Burtons....!

You can all cut it out I've done nothing but eat chocolate and other fatty things and spend nearly $30 on 15 Double Deckers since reading this thread. You're all on my shit list.

Double Deckers should be swallowed whole - practice on OH first, to reduce gag reflex - and finished off with several cups of tea. I am now going to search the internet for Double Deckers. My hands are now shaking with anticipation.......

How on earth do you swallow a DD whole???

DD's are one of my favourite...but they're not quite the same since they have changed the base. It used to be made of chocolate and cornflakes...now the cornflakes have been replaced by crispies.

I'm off to the UK next weekend so I will be able to stock up on Cadbury's choc., cheshire cheese and tea bags.

No. I don't need to have PMS to do that. I don't know what I'm going to do when the Double Deckers turn up, because I'm not known for rationing when it comes to chocolate. Which reminds me of a story my Mum once told me about when they stopped rationing sweets after the war. It involved sweets, a bus, thirty school children, a ditch and a lot of vomit. But I digress...

Nothing like crappy Wagon Wheels.

You can buy them in T.O. along with Whole Nut, Fruit and Nut, Crunchies and more. Also the Costco stores around T.O. sell loads of Cadbury's chocolate....usually in boxes of 24.

I've not had one for years, and I'm feeling desperate, so I expect it will be easy. Are you telling me they've changed the bloody base? Did I mention I've just ordered 15 of them? I'd better like them...

But are they actually from the UK, or the crap chocolate made in canada or the states?

Yes they changed it a few years ago. I love the Cadbury's bars with little bits of shortcake in. OMG I can't wait to land in Manchester.

Try throwing them in the freezer underneath other food. Ive done that sometimes and find all kinds of chocolate stuff months later that Ive forgotten about....and Im a terrible chocoholic!
