I had never eaten chocolate buttons until my 2 GSs introduced me to them and I am now addicted. hmm

What are you addicted to ?

Revels. If I buy a pack I finish them all, so I have to restrict myself to the smallest pack in the range.

Chocolate raisins.. can't resist em.

Ana Mon 09-Feb-15 21:32:42

Nothing.

Revels for me too, Elegran. I'm so relieved it's not just me!

But not the coffee or orange ones - if I get one of those my husband gets the remains - bleurgh

(The rest though - yum)

What. You put it in. And if it's coffee or orange you take it out and your DH has to eat it? confused

Eurgh! You could just chuck it out. grin

It used to be Green and Black's chocolate.
I now find that Kallo dark chocolate rice cake thins can give the taste but without the calories.

A few years ago someone told me that the chemical composition of chocolate is only one molecule different from amphetamines. So once you have the taste of chocolate on your tongue you brain wants more............and that's how a box of chocolates vanishes in one evening. wink

Galaxy. I eat one row a day and suck it to make it last.

Tegan Mon 09-Feb-15 22:35:04

You mean you don't have to eat the whole bar in one go? Respect!!! envy....

janerowena Mon 09-Feb-15 22:49:28

Indeed, I deserve every scrap of that respect. grin

Not.

Only four years ago I could eat a bar a night! Fortunately for me - my sphincter muscle rebelled. Also I had huge problems caused by medication which punched a hole through my stomach, so no more red wine or spices or coffee or tea for a while either. All cured now, apart from the chocolate. Of course I would eat a whole bar a night still if I could, but then I would get no sleep. So eat away while you can.

Making a note of those Jen - are they in most supermarkets?

Anne58 Mon 09-Feb-15 23:25:06

Although I loathe creme eggs, i just luuurve those mini eggs with speckled crispy shell!!!

I love all chocolate and especially choc buttons. I need to loose weight so have restricted myself to Flakes and Milky Bars.

Real Turkish Delight. The proper stuff from Turkey. I was introduced to it when my Dad and Mum spent two years in Ankara with Dad's work. It is very, very yummy and I could eat a whole box at one sitting. Fortunately it is a bit on the expensive side, and not readily available or I would be sick.

Whole hazelnut chocolate from Lidl. It is there near the entrance calling to me!

No - if I suspect (the shape usually gives it away but sometimes get caught out) I nibble a bit of chocolate off the edge to check grin

Was it about GN? Can we have a transcript?

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 10-Feb-15 09:21:36

wink (only joking)

Brendawymms Tue 10-Feb-15 09:38:47

Real Turkish delight for me also. I can eat it until I feel sick and will then have a couple more just to be sure. Mind you liqurise allsorts run a close second.
I don't like chocolate much.
