What is your current and past favourite?

I was really into Fry's Turkish delight once
Crunchies once as a child
Duncan's Walnut whips way back when
Those Lindt balls more recently
Now it's Aldi's milk chocolate hazelnut bars but they are very big, makes for being a total piglet.
Are you going off sweet things as you get older? Sadly, I still love them as much as I always did.

I’m such a pleb. I can’t abide plain chocolate unless it’s wrapped round a sickly sweet centre. Yes, I know it’s good for you, but so is liver, allegedly. envy

I’m off to eat another creme egg.

My fav now is Lindt Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt, and the Dark with Orange.

I remember the first time I tasted chocolate with salt, and I thought it was revolting, but somehow it has grown on me to become my favourite.

I also love Glossette Raisins. If I go to the movies, it is my snack of choice over popcorn.

Any of the dark chocolate Lindt. My only beef with them is that the keep bringing out new flavours. What I especially like about these chocolate bars is that your mouth doesn't tell you to keep going back for more. If I'm given milk chocolate I'll eat my way through the box and end up getting spots - at my ripe old age! Not good.

Best choc bar - Aldi mini dark chocolate bars (pack of 5?).
I also love any plain chocolate with ginger or rum and raisin. ?

The marzipan chocolate in Black Magic boxes.
Once they stopped the marzipan, no point buying Black Magic.

Chocolate orange, Flake, Thorntons Continental. Any good quality milk chocolate really. I’m literally sitting here licking my lips as I ADORE chocolate and I’m trying to lose some weight so they’re a bit of a no no and once I start eating them I can’t stop. My DH recently bought me a box of M&S chocolates for Valentines Day. I think they were the Belgian ones. They were gorgeous - he doesn’t normally buy me anything for Valentine’s Day, but he did this year - only because he wanted to share the choccies! I let him have one or two of them. Generous or what.

Last Christmas Cadbury's had a special edition Cath Kidson tin of Roses. I had not had a large tin at Christmas for years but I needed a new cake tin so I bought one. In the middle of January I remembered I had it and thought few won't hurt while I watch the news. How disappointed I was, they were nothing like those we had years ago, apart from the selection being different, the chocolate didn't taste the same. From now on if I want a treat in December I shall buy Bendick's mint creams or a galaxy bar.

Waitrose Milk Chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa. 40%
Hotel Chocolate when I can afford it.
