mint Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I wish I liked dark chocolate as it's supposed to be good for you. But, where chocolate is concerned, I am just like a child, I only like the milky type and also things like Smarties and M & Ms.In fact, there is a chocolate called, I think, Kinder from Lidl, which is obviously meant for children. Inside a box which is half-cylindrical in shape, there are lots of bars of milk chocolate individually wrapped and with white chocolate insides. Wonderful because you can eat 2 bars at any one time by telling yourself that the bars are only small and anyway you are an adult and not a child and can therefore have adult portions!How do I know all this? Well, I bought a box ostensibly for the OH's grandchildren when they came to visit but, guess what, the kids didn't get a look-in because I'd scoffed the lot.............nice!

Clair Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 I usually much prefer dark chocolate.Milk chocolate doesn't do it for me, unless it's got praliné, like these Lidl seashells... They remind me of my terrible addiction for Nutella... [:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5-element Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Ouh la la Clair! I'm exactly the same, so addicted to Nutella, AND to praliné that I don't let myself get near either. They can keep their cream eggs and all that kind of stuff though.Now I KNOW I have to stay away from LIDL. You are a very wicked woman, Clair.[:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 well, I succumbed and bought two packs...[+o(]Quelle déception... the most tasteless chocolate since Kinder eggs - and at least they (usually) have something more interesting inside than sugar/fat goo.You are all very strange and need to find some decent chocolate. Maybe Lea's ones were a lot better. I hope so. I am not going to pay 14 euros to find out though!If anyone wants the other box they are available for collection. OK, we did finish one box but it wasn't all me. Anyway I had to be sure that all the shapes were equally disgusting!Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzer Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 If anyone is buying chocolate in Lidls,try abar made by J D Gross. There are several varieties, but the one called "Arriba Superieur", with 81% chocolate at €1.19 for 125g is by far the best chocolate I have tasted for quite some time. I have been addicted for some months now,and as there is normally a selection of different bars in each box at the shop,it'san anxious wait to make sure they have some of these in there somewhere!

mint Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Ah, thank you, JJ. I call them shells but I can't really remember what I paid for them. I think it was more than what you said, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
