I must
admit to being somewhat partial to chocolate, (OK, slight understatement) and
have sampled a fair variety (another understatement). Chocolate is a lovely
treat, not only because of its heavenly taste, but also for its mood-boosting
properties and health benefits (admittedly, small quantity of ‘good quality’
dark chocolate usually recommended) including lowering both blood pressure and
cholesterol.
So allow me
to share a little chocolate with you (metaphorically of course) …
Flavoursome
Favourites
Marks
and Spencer Cherry Chocolate Liqueurs, oh, heaven! Dark chocolate (health drive here I come)
surrounding a whole cherry and tasty liqueur – a big favourite of mine.
Asda
Chocolate Mint Thins, superior
to After Eights in my book, nicer chocolate, less sickly filling and a great
price – just £1!
Cadbury’s
Wispa, a good chunk
of chocolate that you can really get your teeth into.
Galaxy
Bubbles, a somehow
‘lighter’ variety of my favourite creamy, Galaxy chocolate.
Changing
Chocs
Oh dear!
What has happened to Cadbury’s Heroes? They no longer contain Bourneville, Dream or Picnic
varieties. In fact, when we had them at Christmas, the tin largely consisted of
crème egg (yuk, a term I rarely use in conjunction with chocolate) and fudge
(almost as yuk) – a real disappointment.
Terrys
Chocolate Segsations,
sadly the plain chocolate segment appears to have disappeared from this orange
selection, although the two-tone (milk and plain chocolate) segment still
exists. Don’t really like the new toffee crunch variety and the jury’s still
out on the popping candy option. Personally, I preferred the original
selection.
Much
Missed
Milk
Tray and Plain Choice Bars, bars of chocolate divided into chocolate box style pieces,
my personal favourite was the lime barrel. Would love these to make a comeback.
Weekend
Chocolates and Candies, a box of chocs popular in the 70s – I used to get one in my stocking
each Christmas and loved them (except for the orange and lemon jellies).
