World Chocolate Day

[Livelife]

A short lightweight topic....
What's your favorite, how much do you need to survive, any particular brand at the top of the list, particular way to indulge with it, can you completely do without it......
Some one please post pictures as I don't know how and tag too

I don’t think I could ever give up chocolate, I love it too much. I probably eat much more than a Doctor or Dentist would think I should although I haven’t had any today (apart from the hot chocolate that is currently sitting on the table next to me but that doesn’t count ). I like most chocolate brands, Cadbury, Nestle, Lindt but one of my all time favourites is Tony’s Chocolonely. I don’t know if the pic will show up as I was having difficulty putting the image on via the site so I’ve had to copy and paste.

Liquids don't count I'll have to find some Tony's, I love that it's LIRP cocoa and mission driven.

Mmmmm I love chocolate ❤️

I love Tony's too @Aves but I think my favourite is Hotel Chocolat (and very kindly they give NHS workers a discount which I take advantage of as much as possible 😂)
One day I'm going to treat myself to their biggest box but at £185 I might have to wait a while...



Other faves are Toblerone and Maltesers

 

[Livelife]

I occasionally get drawn to a really good brownie or a piece of chocolate covered coconut

 

[Aves]

@Sunspots oh how could I have forgotten hotel Chocolat?! Thanks for reminding me. Do you get BlueLight discount? My husband has a blue light card and I’ve been buying hot chocolate sachets for the velvetiser, didn’t realise I could potentially get discount 😂. Yeah that’s pretty pricey but I bet it’s worth it.

I'm going to set myself up to be tarred and feathered but I love white chocolate

I enjoy it too. Sometimes actually prefer it if I have a choice.

 

[Aves]

@Livelife Ooh I love a good brownie and I’ve never had chocolate covered coconut although we have Bounty Bars in the U.K which is like a big bar shaped lump of desiccated coconut covered in milk chocolate

 

[Aves]

@Harmony I’m definitely not a purist when it comes to chocolate, I love white chocolate too.

If you've never tried the chocolate/coconut combo try going to a chocolate shop for your very first one!! Then you can also choose having it milk or dark

I’ve had Bounty’s before, do you have like the shredded coconut covered in chocolate or is it actual coconut chunks/meat/flesh? (Sorry, I don’t know the actual term but meat or flesh certainly doesn’t sound right ).

Yep, BlueLight discount - now you can buy more

I’ve just looked on the flippin’ app and seen that they do it, I don’t know how I missed that because I use the discount for everything else

It is shredded/flaked, I think some chocolate makers use sweetened coconut and some don't. The ones I'm referring to are like one or two bites in one piece. I'll go look for a Bounty's, we must have them here. We have something that's been around forever here called an Almond Joy (milk chocolate) or a Mounds bar (dark chocolate) that are candy bar sized.

Ah right ok, I’ll have to look for some in a chocolate shop. Yes, I’ve heard of Almond Joy before but I’ve never had one. I’ve had a couple of chocolate from the "American" aisle from the supermarket such as Hersheys cookies and cream bar and Butterfinger but I wasn’t a fan of those

I must say I'm starting to miss chocolate - mostly getting a good tablet at the grocery store. Lindt seems to be prevalent and I hate it, lol. Tony's Chocolonely and Green & Black's are good... but they don't give me all the feels.

Hotel Chocolat is very good, we also have their velvetiser! My favourite hot chocolate from them is Salted Caramel & Clementine, it is to die for!

When I go to Belgium I bring some Leonidas (it is like 5 times cheaper than in the UK!) and if I have money, some Neuhaus pralines. A favourite of mine in grocery stores is also NewTree - violet and passion fruit being my favourite combo.

From Belgian brands, I avoid Galler, Pierre Marcolini and Corné.

Whittakers chocolate here in New Zealand is my favourite. Link is because I just couldn't decide which flavour I like the best.
