Could someone please do me a favour.......

Haven't done it for a while , but I have baked chocolate cakes and decorated them with our leftover chocolates and given them away .

I know what you mean.
Last year I was eating a certain sort of crisps that come in a tube, till the end of jan. I reckon I put on 3lbs.
This year I did not want to do that. So didnt buy too much, plus because we happened not to be given much things to eat this year, I was all finished on Christmas stuff by 1st week in Jan.

I usually finish off my Christmas treats just in time for Valentines day!

We didn't buy any but were gifted some candy canes and lollies. If the GC don't polish them off they'll be useful at Halloween 🎃

Luckily have two little boys next door, they gratefully devoured any left over sweets and biscuits on the 27th December that I sent in for them.

Whilst you’re picking up from Kittylester can you please pop in and collect any or all of the 11 unopened boxes of chocolates we have acquired? I don’t like chocolate except Green & Blacks but have ended up with these and I know I will start opening and eating them. We are going to a quiz night in February and if none of you collect then I will donate them to the raffle.

I have been giving all mine away to the postmen, couriers who deliver my parcels and online shopping drivers. But I must admit, I finish one box off before starting another rather than having lots of half eaten boxes opened.

A few days after Christmas we had a games night with 3 other couples and declared it a leftovers evening. Everyone bought whatever leftovers they had, including opened chocolate boxes. No one had to cook and nothing was wasted. Likely or do it again at Easter.

Nandad what a brilliant idea! I was ready to start being healthy but today I got a packet of liquorice pipes for my birthday!

I’m working my way through the remainder of a large box of Lindt truffles opened last weekend when the grandchildren were here.

Within an hour of eating one I need a dose of gaviscon. I think your jelly babies would be easier on my digestion Kitty. I’d be happy to pop round and swap them over. I’ll bring some gaviscon.

Am I too late for the jelly babies?

I have no chocolates here (and only one small box gifted) but I can offer an electric toothbrush

Which might well come in very handy after this chocolate fest.

I'll take them off your hands, Grannynannywanny

I could bring you some probiotics left in fridge by DD in exchange 😃

Throughout the year we receive lots of food and drink gifts from our visitors and I tend to put most of them away until Christmas, so when the season comes around I always have a good store of fancy chocolates/biscuits/wine etc. Unfortunately my (teacher) daughter-in-law brings her stash of edible gifts too (though she has also been known to eat her body weight in sweets and chocolates). Soooo - they’re all available to be munched on, but with three good meals a day the uptake is more limited than I would hope for and when the family leave I try to ply them with the remaining tubs, boxes, packets etc., but to no avail.

Right now I still have a tin full of assorted chocolates and sweets, several tubes (smarties, munchies, millions etc.), three or four bars of Swiss chocolate, a box of Breton biscuits, a packet of Italian cantucci, a box of chocolate dates and a rather large tin of Russian chocolate wafer biscuits. Oh yes, and a big box of Thornton chocolates……and I’ve just remembered there’s a nearly full pack of toasting marshmallows.

Fortunately I have three grandsons descending on me tomorrow, so I’m hopeful that when they leave on Sunday they will have eaten some and take some away with them.

The Trussell Trust food banks would be very happy to take your excess stock off your hands. Or any food bank, community larder, soup kitchen etc.

Ours are all half eaten packets/tins/boxes or I would have dropped them off at the village food bank on one of my regular drop offs.

I’ve a bag of marshmallows, the marshmallows are the size of my fist, ready to give to my youngest grandsons, I kid you not they are really huge they’ll be eaten on a stick by the fire. We’ll all have a fun time

We also have prosecco left over but I am prepared to force myself!

I am happy to share your Prosecco Kitty unfortunately I am not a chocoholic so cannot help with the chocolates 🥂🍫

I tell everyone I don’t like chocolates or eat biscuits unless homemade shortbread yet every year I get boxes of them. I usually buy neighbours and refuse collectors a big box or tin for Christmas as it’s a nice sharing gift.
I just don’t understand why people waste their money buying them for me DH only eats a bit of dark chocolate weekends.
Four boxes are going to the food bank this weekend it will be a treat for someone at least. I have a jar of sweeties I buy for GC visits I will nibble at though.

I’m serious impressed that you’ve still got so many left! We had lots, but they were all gone at least a week ago.

Ha ha, witzend, you don't know how much we had to start with!

Yes please!

Only this morning a friend told me that she rang her local fire station and asked if they would like all her left over Christmas goodies. They said "YES" and so she took them to the fire station. Apparently they were very grateful!
