I must have been really thick to start with then grin

My current favourite is 'Divine' 70% dark chocolate with raspberries.
Always buy a bar from our monthly Fair trade cafe.just remembered I've got one tucked away on the top shelf of kitchen cupboard.-a deserved treat for today I think.

Glad I'm not the only one who hides chocolate! Bizarrely, though, although I have great difficulty remembering where I put just about anything else, I always know exactly where the chocolate is!

Me too Ana. (Still quite a lot of fat, as a rule.)

I'd rather have cheese...

I reckon that molten chocolate smells chokingly rich.

Winning a Nobel prize is not an indication of a high intellect. Nor is awarding it. Think Henry Kissinger winning a peace prize for heaven's sake.

Like it or not, eating too much chocolate – and too much is not a lot – is going to make you fat. And that's the least of your problems.

In that case I have to be the cleverest of clever people!! I've always envied envy people who have one or two squares then put the bar away. Impossible for me I'm afraid - it's all or nothing, as with most things. {{Huge sigh}}

I didn't have it with me today Anno honest! It was in my sewing box at home. I haven't guzzled down a bar of chocolate like this for several months.
I must be feeling guilty about it, as I am making so many lame excuses! grin We really need a chocolate emoticon.

Ah ha! that's why you were looking shifty this afternoon, Nelliem! grin

I have been trying to hide my bar of dark chocolate with orange mousse filling but I still know where it is. hmm As DH is out tonight I might just finish it off.
I would be prepared to share my last Rolo with anyone but they are not having my lovely Aldi dark chocolate.

I'm stupid enough to like it whatever anyone says!

I particularly like a KitKat, even if it is rubbish chocolate. In fact this is may be a good time and place to ask, didn't the EU in its wisdom want to stop us calling UK chocolate chocolate? But they couldn't decide what to let us call it, Vegetable Chocolate Substitute or similar. Anyone for a bar of VCS? Dark or light?

What happened? We're still calling it chocolate. Brussels must be in meltdown! Visions of the streets running with delicious molten chocolate - does anything smell as delicious as melted chocolate? Hint: the answer begins with "N".

Right, I'm off to open my giant Toblerone - MENSA here I come!

Wooo hoo, mine is a big bar of Galaxy please ;)

Its the news we have all been waiting for. Some scientists in America (where else) say the countries which eat the most chocolate also produce the most Nobel prize winners.

So I'm off to buy a big bar of chocolate and write my acceptance speech grin
