Most chocolate would be very welcome but after being diagnosed with the dreaded diabetes at the beginning of the year I've forced myself to like Atkins bars I bought on Amazon ... low carb/low sugar ... kind of like a Mars bar but ok anyway.
Despite not managing to get the blood sugars under 10 I fully intend to eat a single (sob, sob!) Cadbury's cream egg at Easter. smile

Choosing just 3 is difficult, but here goes:
Jelly babies
Thornton’s Continental
Maltesers

Vonners Tue 09-Apr-19 19:38:07

In no particular order:
Star Bar
Double Decker
Daim

Must go back and try those Katy, be glad when they open a store near here.

I agree Aldi chocolate is great. They do packs of mini coconut bars which I think are exactly the same as Bounty. You get about 12 for about 85p.

Nonnie Mon 08-Apr-19 16:17:12

Lindor
Maltesers
Dime

and a second three!

Cadburys whole nut (its a myth that Cadbury has changed anything but the eggs and they changed that back)
Bounty
Just discovered Aldi chocolates (from GN) and love it.

Would not eat Quality St, Aero or anything else made by the disgraceful Nestle.

What's my favourite? What have you got, what's in the cupboard?...... That'll do nicely!

NannyJan53 Mon 08-Apr-19 15:45:49

Lindor (Milk in red wrapper)
Toblerone
Walnut Whip

Montezuma's milk chocolate peanut butter mini eggs (SO good!)
Lindor mint
Lindt extra creamy milk chocolate

But I can always happily partake of a mini egg (and most other things)

Can't eat sweeties now, (diabetic) but my weakness used to be Charbonnel & Walker violet creams.

Thanks Marydoll fellow fudge lover!

I’m enjoying this thread. Thanks everyone for joining in. Best time of day (breakfast) to read these then I’m not craving any ha!

I don't see anything unhealthy in a bit of chocolate now and then.

I used to crave Cadbury's at a certain time of the month but only one or two squares - and even that went with menopause. Couldn't eat it now to save my life.
Even the divine Fry's Chocolate Cream is too sweet. sad

Now I eat chocolate for the sheer pleasure of it because I'm not scared of my food.

My favourite, and one bar lasts me months, is the Lindt Orange. It's very thin and very, very delicious. grin
