Lindt. Unless I'm really hungry too and then it's a Snickers. I love Easter.

Any except bounty, can't bear coconut

I actually chose the rabbits instead of boxes of chocolates as last year I ate the one put aside for my sonblush and couldn't possibly break into the enormous rabbits!

I also looooove chocolate marzipan.

Just bought a couple of large chocolateBunnies from M&S for the offspring for Easter. That should satisfy their chocolate craving for a while!

I love truffles, but also there is a handmade chocolate shop that is divine but hellishly expensive - they make for F&M and Harrods.

.....I didn't replace it as I knew the same thing would happen again!

Marmight; I did exactly the same before Christmas; in fact, the evidence is somewhere in this room as I hid the wrapper after I'd devoured it blush.

Lindt and Thornton's coffee creams.

Strawberry creams sad

Star Bar or Lidl's whole hazelnut. Local Co-op has sold out of the Star Bars and no more have appeared. Perhaps a good thing!

I used to love a cadburys Picnic bar, I'm not sure if they still make them though. Snickers are good but I do love a nice chunk of whole nut.

Sadly a couple of my favourites are no longer available. I used to love Cadbury's Dream Eggs and was gutted when they stopped producing them. I also used to love Creme Eggs when they were made with Dairy Milk chocolate instead of the horrible chocolate flavoured candy they use now. I won't buy them anymore, so disappointing.

But oh yes, dark chocolate with real ginger, yum! Or Fry's Turkish Delight. Also love Bounty, milk or plain - it's the chocolate bar that keeps on giving - bits of coconut to ferret out of my teeth for hours afterwards grin

I'm another for the Green & Blacks with ginger!

Hotel Chocolat every time especially the caramel filled ones! I also like Ghirardelli milk chocolate caramel I had when in the USA, absolutely delicious but cannot get it here. Looked on Amazon and they do sell it but at massively hiked prices so I will just have to go back to the States with an empty suitcase and stock up!! wink

Dark with bits of ginger, or candied orange in. Cadbury's caramel has always been a favourite too. Aldi do some fantastic bars, just as good as the expensive brands IMO.

I Was away with friends at New Year and one couple organised a chocolate tasting competition. I am embarrassed to say I won which rather confirms my status as a chocoholic. I blame the very kind parents that sent in chocolates as a thank you at the end of school terms. I do ration myself to one piece but do have some every night. I like most chocolate but have found expensive chocolate in places such farm shops can be a disappointment.

nonnasusie Thu 03-Mar-16 11:16:35

Lindt dark with chilli, with "fior di sale" (salt) or orange intense! Also Terrys dark choc orange amongst others grin. I'm supposed to be dieting for DSD wedding in August so all should be off limits really!!

Neversaydie Thu 03-Mar-16 11:14:26

Love Aldi nut chocolate
Not too sweet lots of nuts

Nannyru Thu 03-Mar-16 11:10:31

Willies for me?

Marmight Thu 03-Mar-16 10:46:28

Green & Blacks caramel and sea salt. Brought some out to Oz for DD but have just polished it off myself - well, it had been sitting there looking at me from the fridge for over 6 weeks so obviously she didn't want it .........wink

camlyn Thu 03-Mar-16 10:46:06

Green and Black's salted caramel but I can't just eat two squares!

Juggernaut Thu 03-Mar-16 10:42:57

I love ALL chocolate, but Galaxy will always win!

missdeke Thu 03-Mar-16 10:19:57

Anything as long as it's not white!! Not really chocolate just a sweet tasteless mess.

f77ms Thu 03-Mar-16 09:59:23

I adore chocolate and used to have at least a bar everynight .
I have given it up now due to high cholesteroel? and have gone down from a 16 to a 14 dress size ,whoopi !!
My favs were fruit and nut and turkish delight and many others .

Parsleywin Thu 03-Mar-16 09:49:20

Ooh! Green and Blacks new-ish THIN milk choc with bits of caramel and sea salt. Not the cheapest, but it does pop up on offer quite often. Do we have a [drools] symbol? grin

January's Chimps. They are toffee covered in choc. We can't find them in many shops, so when we do, we buy in bulk. We get some strange looks from the sales assistants when we present them with great piles of them!smile
