I also stock up on Heinz Baked Beans, Treacle Sponge, Chocolate Sponge & digestives @ the same time.:)

I stocked up on all that yesterday. I also found pickled onions and chip shop curry sauce mix!!!! :thumbsup:

Cadbury's, Dairy Milk, Galaxy or Twirl all the way.

Here I've really gotten into dark chocolate, though, as Hershey's smells like poo. I like Green and Black's 70%, but Valrhona's 72% is my favourite...:tounge_smile:

Well now I have a list of a bunch to try. Apparently I definitely need to try Cadbury's - although Keith says it is creamier, which might not be my speed. I think I'm personally more into dark these days.

I've liked the swiss ones - Lindt for one. And I have a nice white chocolate I've been making peppermint bark and truffles out of - Golden Alps. I'm not even a fan of white, and I don't mind that one.

And I love the dark chocolate oranges at Christmastime - the ones you smack on the table and they separate into segments.

And finally - at a wine tasting - a local place had the most incredible lemon creams with dark chocolate! I wouldn't have thought I'd like that combo, but they were absolutely terrific.

OMG! I so want one of them right now! :(
Hubby has departed today for the UK back Sunday, I'll add it to my list of supplies! It's no fun being pregnant and not having anybody to run and get the things I get cravings for :frown: .
I'm sure I'll make it to Sunday. Off to Bunco tonight so hopefully there'll be lots of sweet nibbles there! :thumbsup:

Unless it's a different brand - we have those here. I get them every Christmas.

And I sympathise - you've temporarily lost your slave :p

Yes - different kinds too - milk chocolate for Keith, dark chocolate for me.

I've gotten them at grocery stores, walgreens, walmart... not sure now that it isn't Christmas though.

Rasberry or orange flavours...milk and dark. Quite nice...but even I can't eat much of it. Now if it was Cadbury's.....

Oooh I've never seen the raspberry ones. Interesting.

For me, the jury's out re. Cadbury's - sounds kinda creamy though, and I prefer dark.

IIRC, it used to say 'tap and unwrap' in the UK. Always amused me for the gross understatement (unless you happened to be holding a sledgehammer at the time).
