Cool Favorite chocolate.

I'm partial to a bit of chocolate every known and again.

But stuck at work I'm thinking about what chocolate I'm going to pick up at Schipol airport when I fly home in a week.

It keeps me going.

I like rita sports but think I can do better. I'm thinking of some of those chocolate pastil things you can get at schipol, or a selection of choc liquors, yum. I'm not wanting to stuff my face you see, so a massive toblerone is out of the question.

Many moons ago I had dark and white chocolate (like a milkybar on steriods) made by Vroom and Dreesman that was pretty good, IIRC. These days Lindt Dark 85% or Dark with Chilli do the trick.

I adore Cadbury's chocolate like Twirl and Flake. They are by most people's standard not chocolate though. My (Polish) wife thinks they are horrible and prefers dark rich chocolate.

We like our low quality chocolate in the UK.

It's not very good for you 'cos of all the vegetable fat and low cocoa solids.

I rarely buy mars bars and stuff, occasionally I will pick up a milky way if the desire take me, but generally I prefer better quality stuff.

Less is more.

I went in there recently while in abstinence, I have to say it is very hard to refuse the freebies they pass round lol. But I did.
I love the caramel milk chocolate the most, the little drops.
As for Easter there, nightmare, but it has to be the rocky road!

Cadbury's Dairy Milk, for me. Wispa, Falke, Swirl, Dipped Flake, Caramels, and Fruit and Nut.

What was that bar they did with bits of cherry in it?

No, not 'Crunch'. Just the normal chocolate.

Do you remember 'Tiffin'?

Contrary to what my name suggests I'm only partial to a bit of choccy now and again as it gives me toothache

Galaxy caramel for me though when I beat the pain barrier.
