Not very happy.....

Ferrero Rocher are my favourite of all time.
I had some Hotel Chocolat for Easter, but didnt enjoy it as much.

…..or send the manufacturers a little message requesting they stop being so mean with the choccies or at least ditch the unnecessary packaging and perhaps reduce the price.

Have now done just that. Will be interesting to see if they reply.

Have you tried the Lindor chocolates? In our local Sainsbury's you can select the flavours you prefer and put them in a box of your choice, three sizes to choose from depending on how many of the chocs you buy. Not much wastage and you can re-use the box as you wish.

I tried it once and would do so again if only they weren't so addictive. I'd be the size of a house if I indulged too often.

Channel 4 did a programme on Posh Food for Less. They zoomed in on chocolate and had two tasters. The tasters blind tested Lindt, Aldi, Green and Blacks and Hotel Chocolat. They also had a chocolatier to provide information. Anyway, the couple put Green and Black first, Aldi second, Lindt third and Hotel Chocolat last. The expert suggested that Aldi was good chocolate with a great taste.

Personally I usually buy Aldi and really love it. It has no palm oil either.

If you send them an email you not happy etc you probably received a voucher or more chocolates from them. I did I received an bar of chocolate with no bubbles in it bet you can’t guess which one lol. Anyway I took photos and sent them an email and I received a box of different things from that brand. About £25 worth. Also I received some hotel choc for my birthday and the biscuits I needed a hammer to break them my son and daughter inlaw through it was me until they tried them give us a laugh getting a work out for our teeth lol so I complained about them they sent me the value of the biscuits and I’ve not bought the biscuits since. My son also got a voucher as he bought them But they keep sending me new ones to try.

Cant have flowers in the house Monica I and my OH have bad allergies .I got flowers for my birthday and they were lovely all 3 bouquets BUT they had to live in a spare room until they died...sods law they took weeks .I had to keep the door shut so the cats wouldn't go near the absolutely stunning lilies .Cheese dropped off my list a few years ago when a homeopath told me dairy prodece was one of the worst things for my allergies ,so no cheese,no yoghourt ,luckily no bad catarrh because they went

paddyanne I am sure there is something you enjoy, that people could give you.

For me cheese rather than chocolates.
