If you like the peanut butter and caramel clusters from M&S you’ll like the Big Daddy bar from there too!

Yep, late to the party.... and wish I hadn't bloody bothered.

Tony's Chocolonely - the Toblerone rip off one - yellow packet.

Utter rit.

1. What the duck is the odd sized shaped bits all about - it ain't quirky - its just balls and it ripped the roof of my mouth to bits and I can bite a big Toblerone chunk by chunk.
2. Mediocre chocolate - like others have probably said - cheap supermarket own brand vibes.
3. Why do folk rave over it - sister in law and niece think its the dogs danglys - that should have given me warning signs. It was her bleeping fault I got sucked in as I bumped into her shopping and it was £2.50 on the Nectar thing in Sainsburys.

I now wish I'd gone for a box of Maltesers like my choccy fancying brain was preying on!?!

Yeah, the eco/caring balls is all well and good but in reality the product has to be rit to satisfy that goal - it'll have to slide lower on the quality side or go up in price as cocoa prices are on the rise again, yet these bars seem to stay at just above the 'normal' chocolate bar prices in supermarkets - I notice they are always well stocked compared to more mainstream bars. Has the gloss come off as more folk have given it a go and realised its mediocre at best.

If you can get your hands on this, I don't know how widely available it is (impossible in ireland), get it and try it. Especially to those of you whom eat plant based/vegan choco. How is it not genuine chocolate?? Tastes so damn good. Similar price point to Nomo and Hip but doesn't have that chalky clearly fake taste.

Have you tried M&S cappuccino bars? Just found this thread and I see you're a coffee chocolate lover.

My latest find was Munchies Salted Caramel Fudge bags. Unfortunately I've had to cut myself off from them as I like them far far too much and they don't come in individual portions, just a massive share bag.
I have tried it and I love the filling but I'm not much of a white chocolate gal so it doesn't quite hit the spot for me! Coffee and milk or dark choc is my heaven
 
New Jaffa cake flavour, it’s ok a bit sweet
Interesting flavour choice, the kids would love this might look into getting it.

I tried this recently, it's very rich little chalky (typical for vegan chocolate) but it was lovely. Cold brew taste isn't really there, it's a dark oat chocolate. Recommend to those of you who eat vegan chocolate. It's new to me, but I'm not sure if the company themselves are new. I would like to try their other flavours. Worth the price when I compare it to H!P or Nomo etc, similar price point but a bigger and heavier block.

If they like cola bottles they’ll love them it’s not that far off the orange flavour tbh, still get a tang if you know what I mean 😂…I’m as far away from vegan as you can get but it looks like the Lowry of chocolate 😂…( I’m joking I’m sure it tastes as good as it looks)

Has anyone made or tried the Dubai chocolate bar?

It's a chocolate bar filled with butter fried spaghetti shaped filo and pistachio. Looks good but I can't find the filo and the pistachio butter is £9 a jar in the Italian deli (and it's little!)
Lidl had pistachio paste recently that could be used in it. Haven't tried but did see someone make it just can't remember who if I find it again I'll post it

If you have a high powered blender you could make your own pistachio butter a bit cheaper?

Pistachio butter/ creme at M&S is under £4.50.

Harrods are going to have a popup from Monday for the original Dubai chocolate called Fix. Anyone had it? I'm going to give it a go
 
Not a huge chocolate fan but my two favourites I'd never say no to are Milky Way crispy rolls and Galaxy Caramel. :love:
