I have chocolate coins in my stocking every year, yes i still have a stocking... and they are usually from tescos as this is where our family shops. They are relitivly cheap, and although they do not taste like thorntons chocolate, they taste good, not like cheap over sweetened chocolate that you often get in supermarket own brands. They come in 3 different sizes, in net bags which as a smaller child i used to find very hard to open. Now however i have stronger hands. They are perfect for stocking fillers or prizes for games at partys (think treasure, treasure hunts or games involving pirates and you will get the idea) Also when you are finished with them, you can ...  Read the complete review

Ever since I was born I have always had a stocking on Christmas day and still do to this day, and since I moved in with my now husband my parents also do him (and our 3cats ) a stocking to open on Christmas day. One item which me and my husband always receive in our stocking is some chocolate coins, its sort of got to be a bit of a tradition, they don't always have to be the same type of chocolate coins but they have to be there and this year was no exception, we both received a net of Tesco Christmas Milk Chocolate Coins in the bottom of our stockings. The coins come in a small orange colour net bag, similar to that of the ones some fruits come in. The bag ...  Read the complete review

During this time of year as Christmas draws nearer, a variety of novelty goodies begin to appear in the shops. Amongst these items, you don't need to look too far for a bag of milk chocolate coins.

Usually a pair of scissors or a sharp object is needed to avoid the net cutting into your fingers. The coins come in various sizes and are made from milk ...  Read the complete review

This may sound ridiculous, but over the past few months I have become something of a chocolate coin expert, I have been trying chocolate coins from different supermarkets hoping to find the nicest ones. I know this may sound a little strange, so let me explain the reasoning behind my quest... I decided a few months ago that I was going to my friends and family members "luck pots of gold for Christmas." In order to do this successfully I had to find lots of lovely lucky gold treats and it makes sense to include chocolate coins. The thing is, over previous years I've tasted some AWFUL chocolate coins... and I MEAN awful. My Mum bought some from Aldo ...  Read the complete review

I've been buying my little sisters the chocolate coins from Tesco because they are on buy one get one free a lot and are quite cheap anyway, I think they're a nice treat for them because they're both getting mega excited about Christmas now. I've already reviewed the white chocolate coins that I've been buying for my 2 year old sister, but my other sister is 10 and so I've been getting her the milk chocolate ones. I love them too though so am eating loads too many and ruining my pre-Christmas diet! lol There are 3 different sized coins that are all held together in a net, the coins are covered in gold foil and they look wicked I think especially ...  Read the complete review
