Valrhona dark choc, can only ever be a treat due to the price! The little Lindt mini-bars that come in 1kg boxes are yummy, too.0

I purchased a box of Charbonnel et Walker hand-made chocolates for the missus. They do that thing where you select the ones you want, then they box it up and price it by weight, all carefully carried out by a latex gloved assistant with an air or reverence about them, giving you the impression that you're amongst the privileged few who can afford such luxurious indulgence.
Most over-rated and over-priced edible tat I had the misfortune to spend my hard-earned cash on! IMO, they weren't that much better than the ones you get in a box of Cadbury's All-Gold! :evil:
(Yes, I ended up scoffing most of them out of sheer indignation!)0 -
Ooooh I like the hotel chocolat slabs, their macho milk is probably my favourite bar of chocolate, or the milk/white marbled one.
For chocolates, www.perfectlytempered.com 's masala chai. In fact, most of her chocolates, but that's my favourite0 -

I haven't touched any chocolate, crisps, sweets, cakes, or anything remotely sweet (including sugary drinks) in about 4 weeks now.
The first day off I had the come down baaaad. Headache and nervousness all day long. Once I was over the addiction I was fine.
I have coincided this abstinence with lent. I have about 2kgs of chocolate goods in the house to devour on easter sunday when i might just go for another few weeks off it all again
I don't really miss it that much now to be honest. Its the convenience of sticking something ready to eat in my gob that i miss.0 -
the wife has a preference for anything by Cadbury, so same for me as well if there's any leftwave your willy here !!!!0

Don't really like chocolate or sweets much for that matter, if I must then a square of 99% with coffee natch!

Hmmmm - British chocolate. High in fat, low in cocoa. Many European Countries won't even classify it as chocolate..
Doesn't mean that I don't enjoy the odd one now and againNone of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0 -
Black's Organics - very nice. Same goes for the Seeds of Change range. Good for a fix during the working day.
Terry's Chocolate Orange is good stuff.
Had to stop my Hotel Chocolat subscription because I developed an allergy to praline/hazelnuts. That p!ssed me off no end.FCN 2-4.

Yorkie?! Nestle make a poor chocolate bar.
Having said that, an American I used to live with liked Hersheys who manage to make Nestle look like artisans. Vile stuff.0 -

Oh noes CJCP! I missed that post. Hazelnuts are the best nut for chocolate...
Am I helping?
Also, you had a subscription to Hotel Chocolat? This is possible? How?

I don't get on well with hazelnuts either, or kiwi fruit - unpleasant itchy/burning throat sensation.

Yes. Like a hole in the head.
I also love Nutella. I came out in some sort of hives after eating that on holiday (just after I developed the reaction to hazelnuts. I cannot now eat Nutella, either. That doubly p1sses me off.Also, you had a subscription to Hotel Chocolat? This is possible? How?

It only took me 15s to get as far as clicking on 'Join Now', fortunately someone distracted me at the critical moment and broke the spell. I even thought 'I'll put down Mrs A's name and say about it for her; chocolate and brownie points.'Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX
