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

Any Cadbury’s chocolate!

Even now- that the ingredients and recipes have changed- and the taste too of course.

The Cadburys don't even eat the stuff now.

Homemade Coconut Ice, Chocolate Fudge and Marzipan and the Green triangles in Quality Street

Lindt white chocolate truffles are my favourite

Tiramisu but I am coeliac so have to make it myself or get the free from ones at Tesco. Galaxy milk chocolate or green triangles

I don't have a sweet tooth at all. Peanut butter on a rice cake is as sweet as it gets for me...hahaha

Lindt in red wrapper . Mint thins from Aldi .chocolate nuts and raisins . Wish I didn't like any.

I’m not bothered about sweets , cakes or biscuits but if I had to eat a sweet it would be a Topic .

However, I could happily eat my body weight in Waitrose Coffee Ice Cream ? mmmmm

Liquorice ice cream! Very difficult to get hold of but once I’d tried it I was hooked. My husband tried to make me some for my birthday once. A valiant effort but not the same as the bought stuff! Mmmmmm yummy. ??

Ahh liquorice ice cream. I discovered it in Denmark where liquorice is incredibly popular - whole aisles of liquorice based sweets in supermarkets there. I was in Thirsk 3 years ago and there was an ice cream parlour selling it.

Has anyone tried Ritter chocolate? I think it’s German. Cheapest by far in Lidl, lost of different flavours. Rum and raisin probably favourite. I think Cadbury’s, which I used to love before they sold out, just tastes of lard. Love whole cherry liqueur chocolates in dark chocolate. Good truffles, preferably boozy. Stop me now.

I have no idea, why Ferrero don't sell their MonCherie here in uk. My absolute favourite is Rum & Raisin marzipan, from Lidl, or Rum and Pineapple. Niederegger very expensive now.
Was given a box of Cadbury's Milk Tray recently, inedible, I'm afraid, too sweet and slimy.

Eaton mess, Chocolate Brazil’s, cheesecake.x

Cadbury's Double Deckers - Tesco do a multi-pack of smaller versions so I can tell myself I'm not actually eating a whole bar of chocolate!

timetogo2016 Sat 14-Nov-20 10:58:31

Same here Grannmarie,but they have shrunk to half the size they used to be.

Love Ritter. Marzipan in dark chocolate ....lovely. All their stuff is though.

Elizabeth Shaw mints. Lovely dark chocolate crispy mints. Hopefully Santa will bring some!

A large chunk of homemade spicy carrot cake with thick frosting on top ?

Puzzler61 Sat 14-Nov-20 11:13:21

Favourite chocolate treat is a pack of 3 mixed fillings chocolate
whips.

Hagen Das salted caramel ice cream. It's divine.
Milk chocolate ginger.
Liquorice and mint Allsorts.

Trillo’s of Whitby do a fabulous liquorice and blackcurrant ice cream. Nearly, but not quite, as addictive as their local rival Pacitto’s wonderful lemon tops.

Butterfly53 Sat 14-Nov-20 11:22:11

The quality street Purple One. Not forgetting Sticky Toffee Pudding and Caramel Ice Cream

Lynnp Sat 14-Nov-20 11:22:27

Used to love the original Cadbury's Dairy Milk & mini eggs. I never buy anything made by Cadbury anymore. My solitary protest to what they've done to what used to be the absolute best chocolate!

Maggiemaybe Sat 14-Nov-20 11:23:51

Anybody else off to search the cupboards for sugary treats now?

Sadly, I think I’m down to the leftover Hallowe’en Haribos. grin

olliebeak Sat 14-Nov-20 11:39:42

I'm another one who just LOVES anything with chocolate and nuts - preferably dark chocolate!

The Big Purple One and the Green Triangle from Quality Street are always sneaked out of the tin, before it's offered around wink blush.
