My all time favourite treat is a Tunnocks caramel wafer biscuit! Oh the lovely chocolate and chewy sensation of the wafer inside -heavenly!

Reece's peanut butter cups, I eat all three, can't resist!

Being a reversed diabetic, I rarely eat cake. However in lockdown we have had a Sainsburys delivery every 10 days. I have a cake then. I don't care what it is !!!!

Apple crumble with custard.

I'm torn between coconut ice cream from an Italian ice cream parlour nearby or a chocolate north pole from a different ice cream parlour. Failing that a galaxy ripple.

I don't have much of a sweet tooth but occasionally have a couple of squares of 70% dark chocolate. I like apple crumble but very rarely have it. The one sweet thing I really like is vanilla ice cream but only have a couple of spoonfuls.

I couldn't eat milk chocolate other sweets nowadays. They are far too sweet.

I used to love a Twirl in my pre-diabetic days, although a Tunnock's tea-cake would also go down a treat. Difficult to stop at one though when there's another 5 in the box!

Nowadays my guilty pleasure is a Cadbury Freddo, a small but perfectly formed small bar of real milk chocolate. Other than chocolate, a wee pack of salt and vinegar Ringos. smile

Yes, puds don’t get much better than that,?

Am not a chocolate fan ( of any kind) although I did like ( a good few years ago) Thorntons brazil nut toffee.

A slice of a really good ginger cake with a cuppa is my ideal, or rich fruit cake.

Toss up between double chocolate mini magnums and Lindt D'or dark chocolate truffles.

Anything Cadbury’s ???

Not really got a sweet tooth, but do like Lidl's dark chocolate coated ginger biscuits and Aldi's dark chocolate hazelnut bar. Am also partial to Hotel Chocolat chocolates, very rich, on a totally different level to other makes of chocolates and totally irresistible.

Marzipan in any flavour or form. My favourites are Niederegger orange or pistachio in milk chocolate. But at a pinch the leftovers from decorating the Christmas cake will do. smile

Chocolate marshmallow teacakes are my guilty secret, or a vanilla slice.

GrammarGrandma Sat 14-Nov-20 09:43:46

I don't like sweet treats really! I bit of dark chocolate with hazelnuts in is about my limit. And Cadbury's creme egg is my idea of hell.
