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

Strawberry creams sad

Lindt and Thornton's coffee creams.

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.

Tegan Thu 03-Mar-16 13:20:21

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

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 also looooove chocolate marzipan.

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!

Any except bounty, can't bear coconut

Cadbury's milk. Anything in the range but favourites are quality street and roses. YUM

Maggie725 Thu 03-Mar-16 14:18:25

My favourite chocolates are Bounty and Twirl.

Lindt! How did I forget Lindt? Lindt anything really ...

Either Leonidas Belgian, or Lidl dark high cocoa content single origin

lujaha Thu 03-Mar-16 17:16:53

Lindt bar filled with liquid raspberries and lindor.

Chattycathy Thu 03-Mar-16 17:47:20

I love giant chocolate buttons which need to be eaten two at a time, flat sides together like a sandwich.

harrysgran Thu 03-Mar-16 17:56:21

Lindt especially the little chocolate bunnies .

GrammaH Thu 03-Mar-16 18:16:52

I love all the Lindor balls, so silky & smooth. Plus Lidl's whole hazelnut, G& B's ginger & H otel Chocolat's Eton Mess....actually, just about any HC!

Elrel Thu 03-Mar-16 18:21:20

Anything by Green and Black or Divine. I keep a tiny bar of dark chocolate from Aldi in my bag, my 'emergency chocolate'.
'What emergency needs chocolate?' asked daughter.
'You'd be surprised,' I told her!

How could I miss out the chocolates from Paul A Young? Love choosing to fill a little box of four, or, rarely, a box of nine. Extraordinary flavours. We slice and share. Oldest Grandson loves salted caramel, available in jars too!! His younger bro impresses the assistants with his knowledge of the flavours of ganache!

Thornton's Continental Assortment, Bendick's mints, Lindt hazelnut milk, home made Florentine's with Bourneville dark chocolate.

But at the cinema it's got to be pick n' mix chocolate peanuts.

jaspersgran Thu 03-Mar-16 18:44:46

Has to be Lidl's equivalent of the snicker bar, I think it's tastier than the snicker and a lot cheaper ??

etheltbags1 Thu 03-Mar-16 20:15:41

reading this I have just eaten 4 twirls, they are much smaller than they used to be hence the four.
I love all chocolate in any shape or form even cooking chocolate if theres no other in the house.

Fry's Chocolate Cream or Plain Bounty

grannybuy Thu 03-Mar-16 22:56:30

Am halfway through a slab of Hotel Chocolat almond and caramel. Wonderful! It was half price! I bought three. If the shop was nearer, I would have been back for more. I am also very partial to Green and Black salted caramel thin bars. Sometimes tempted by Boosts when I go to pay for petrol. I have chocolate every day, I have to admit.

The best chocolates I ever had were many years ago when I worked in London and a client of the firm I worked for gave me a box of Fortnum and Mason's chocolates for Christmas. They were plain chocolate with a violet cream centre and a crystalised violet on top. Heaven doesn't begin to describe them smile.
