Top Ten Chocolates

I’ll be the first to admit that when it comes to chocolate, I can take it or leave it – not! Sorry for the Bill and Ted’esque beginning to this opinion, but chocolate is one of those things – no, if I’m honest, THE thing – that I can never take or leave (unless it’s a Turkish Delight or coffee flavoured, yuk). Its just take, take, take all the way for me, baby. Here is a list of my favourites, in no particular order: Thorntons Lemon Parfait You can find this little sweetie lurking in a box of Thorntons Classics or Thorntons Continental. I believe it’s also one of those that you can buy singly too, but why you would want to separate it ...  Read the complete review

Mmmmm, chocolate....Delicious, decadent, and silky smooth. I am what is commonly known as a unrepentant chocaholic. I could quite happily devour crates of my favourite chocs; and I daily fight the urge to scoff myself silly. There have been times when I have supplemented my chocolate diet with other foodstuffs, but these additions are simply so that I dont die of scurvy or some other vitamin deficiency. Ok, so maybe I am exaggerating a bit, but truly chocolate is the one vice that I dont think I can be without. Here are my favourite choccies.Prepare for the final countdown: 10) *Twix* Twix is a tasty little number. Chocolate, biscuit and ...  Read the complete review

I love chocolate and I'm sure that I eat far too much. In the past, I've sometimes eaten more than a bar a day which can't be good for my health! So a couple of months ago, I took on the almost impossible task of trying and give up chocolate altogether. I'm doing well so far, but still get chocolate cravings quite a lot! As I can't eat it, I decided to write about it instead. I've somehow managed to come up with a list of my favourite chocolates. MALTEASERS One of my absolute favourite chocolates are the Malteasers. These are small round balls of honeycomb biscuit covered in chocolate. They come in small plastic bags and are advertised as being the ...  Read the complete review

Ok - So as a Man, my knowledge and capacity for indulgence of Chocolate is clearly inferior to the fairer sex. I shall endeavour to explain my favourites in the limited methods available to my unemotional brain. Packaging, whether it be the simple plastic wrap of a Mars Bar or the £1 a pop fancy Thorntons wrap with ribbons and bows is mostly unimportant to me. My senses aren't stimulated, nor my tastebuds teased by uber-excessive packaging. I can appreciate the need for it: all men know that giving your partner £5 of Kit-Kats isn't going to have the same effect as an over the top box with half a ton of plastic and paper and 3 garnished, perfectly formed and ...  Read the complete review

Although I'm currently trying to lose a bit of weight (being ill and having the doctor prodding my excess stones of stomach fat spurred me on), I thought I'd indulge myself in a mind-fest of chocolate delights. In general I'm not really a person with a sweet tooth - give me a sausage any day - although I am partial to the odd chocolate fudge cake, and of course to the odd chocolate bar, but in general it must be Cadbury's. Forget your fancy Belgian chocolates (although I won't say no if you're passing round the box at Christmas), and that Swiss stuff that people used to bring back from holidays in France - Cadbury's is by far the best. So let the countdown ...  Read the complete review
