Is out of date cocoa OK?
2 years out of date, already opened to make a cake ages ago and just found lurking quietly at the back of the cupboard.
I could make a microwave chocolate mug cake

I had 3 small bars of dark chocolate, all gone now, sadly.

I was having one square of each in turn to see which I liked best!
Still not decided.

I was going to show you my empty Curly Wurly wrapper, but it went in the bin yesterday
Laughterlines, my DH, brought up in India, regularly had left over curry for breakfast, when the family returned to UK..

I can't have a chocolate stash (sadly) as I eat it until it's gone. No self control. The best I can manage is a couple of hours without it when I know it's there. I swear it 'calls' to me!

All is not lost, though. I can leave cocoa and there's always 3 minute quick chocolate cake (I've mastered making it) plus cocoa added to custard powder and 'Ta da' - chocolate pudding with custard - lovely!

Going to have to send to Hotel Chocolate I think- see other thread about on line shopping grin

My friend is now able to eat the 18 Easter eggs she'd bought for her grandchildren.....

Laughterlines that was an interesting breakfast, I wonder what other combinations people are having now.
I always have a stash of chocolate, currently four bars of assorted plain choc and two bags of M&Ms.

Half a box of Roses and that is it. sad

Three kit kat fingers and 3 Tunnocks wafer bars. That is it! I am not buying chocolate or biscuits now as being forced to stay in means hardly any exercise.

I may be richer soon, but do not want to be bigger smile

Don't have a chocolate stash. We do inadvertently seem to have a biscuit stash, but since I don't like biscuits, it's a bit wasted on me.

Have drunk my wine and eaten all the goodies,and now regretting it as feeling decidedly porky.

I did have small stash but nearly all gone now. Have been eating leftover curry for breakfast, followed by two Cadbury Creme eggs. (Other creme eggs being unavailable) am I being unreasonable. Found this strangely comforting.

Right now, I don't have a stash of anything edible , so I'm very envious. In fact, I think it's very insensitive of you to dangle your chocolate in front of us less fortunate grans like that shock ? (joke)

Luckily, as we are isolating, I do have a huge stash of craft-related materials, so at least I can keep myself very busy, which helps take my mind off the absence of wine, gin & tonic, crisps, nuts and chocolate (in that order)! grin

Very shameful only I'm not ashamedsmile

I have not panic hoarded these - this is my usual peace of mind collection including the chocolate biscuits.

Some people have wine and some people have chocolate (some probably have both) grin
