I don’t like ginger in any form, so it won’t affect me (selfish).

Love any chocolate though.

I love chocolate gingers

My favourites are Border Biscuits Chocolate & Ginger which are still Widley available.

How annoying !
There are lots of alternatives .
I haven't made them for a while , but have you ever made truffles ?
I've made all sorts .
I think that ginger truffles could easily be made .
Messy , but cheap !

Fortnum & Mason do a box …. 🤣

I'm not a fan of candied ginger, but I understand when a favourite snack is discontinued! I'm sure you will find a new fav soon. Meanwhile, stock up! At least you found out beforehand, instead of being shocked when you couldn't find them anymore.

It won’t make any difference to me. I never buy chocolate.

Waitrose do nice packs of dark chocolate ginger. A favourite of Dbro and a dd.

No not at all. Eugh

Urmstongran Their my favourite too. I haven’t been able to find a shop that sells them so been buying online. I find them the best ones, can’t find any to match them so far but I’ve had fun trying 🤣

Green and Black have a ginger chocolate you might enjoy - so does Hotel Chocolate I believe.

Urmstongran Thu 14-Mar-24 15:30:37

Anyone else going to miss them?

Grandmadinosaur Thu 14-Mar-24 15:18:21

Yes I think you’re right.

Urmstongran Thu 14-Mar-24 15:17:20

Well they are still in the shops (for now) but if manufacturing stops then I expect even on line supplies will cease?

Grandmadinosaur Thu 14-Mar-24 15:09:19

I’ve just looked and yes you can and they offer 10% off a first order.

Grandmadinosaur Thu 14-Mar-24 15:07:37

Can you order them online? I noticed an ad for Thorntons online on Facebook last week.

I nipped into Thornton’s in the square downstairs earlier and the lady in the shop said they had been asked to let all customers know that the chocolate gingers are being phased out. She had one or two boxes in her stockroom but no more orders will be processed. I shall miss them! … I bought 3 bags whilst I was there.
