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 ?

I wasn't going to have chocolate today but when I was having lunch with a friend, a slice of chocolate roulade somehow found its way onto my plate and I simply couldn't resist. blush

kittylester! Thanks for the reminder.

I can eat gluten every few weeks, for the odd meal, and not suffer too badly. I'm saving up for this Saturday. I never thought of maltesers, but I don't eat them very often. It's just as well!

I have to have mini twister ice lollies on my days off chocolate. It's not the same. sad

I was so impressed that Ana said she was addicted to nothing that I decided to go cold turkey and no chocolate has passed my lips today. A little Fox's Glacier Mint did push it's way into my mouth though.smile

I have just discovered Co-op's Valentine's Day offering of chocolate love hearts with strawberry yogurt fillings. Fantastic!!!

I eat the Kallo Rice Cakes too. My favourite is flakes straight from the freezer! blush

Jane Maltesers have gluten in! shock

Poundland has Kallo Chocolate Rice Cakes in at the moment smile

Cari is this the book?

Those kallo thins sound like what I should be eating. It looks Ocado and Waitrose, Anya.

I love those little Cadbury mini-eggs, real Turkish delight and maltesers. I also love dark plain chocolate. But my 'everyday' love is galaxy. I don't actually have it every day, but I would say four nights a week I will have those four cubes. A big bar lasts me for two weeks.

I adore liquorice all sorts. And dolly mixtures.

Harribo gums......by the handful blush and Lindor dark chocolate.... And probably just about any chocolate where trying to study sad

For me it has to be dark chocolate and not sickly sweet.

Aldis "Moser Roth" does some fantastic stuff. A dark chili chocolate and over Christmas a special edition bar with a plum and cinnamon filling.

I cannot abide those Guylian Seashells they are far too sweet.

I could get tempted by Liquorish Allsorts despite the fact that they contain gelatine and I am a veggie.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Lindor yet.

(tho in the absence of pretty much any choc will do me thanks)

Frys Turkish delight for me. Obviously I am a peasant. The real stuff unless with pistachios is too messy for me. Tesco send us money off for Frys TD. they know our weaknesses.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 10-Feb-15 09:50:18

Yes. I expect chocolate got in there somewhere. grin

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 10-Feb-15 09:47:50

(or about half eaten chocolate - one of those)

Oh but I have just typed it all out for you sad

(And no - was about the book)

Lapwing Tue 10-Feb-15 09:44:37

At this time of year Cadbury Mini Eggs - the one with the hard shell. Yummmm.

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.

Was it about GN? Can we have a transcript?

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

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

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

hildajenniJ Tue 10-Feb-15 08:33:13

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.

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