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.

Not a sweet tooth really but do love fruit cake!

grannybuy Sat 14-Nov-20 09:45:15

A salted caramel Magnum.

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.

FlotheCrow Sat 14-Nov-20 09:40:34

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

Maggiemaybe Sat 14-Nov-20 09:30:05

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

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.

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

Apple crumble with custard.

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.

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

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.

CherryCezzy Fri 13-Nov-20 21:25:00

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.
