Lindt Chocolate in general

I should point out this opinion relates to the new macadamia lindt chocolate bar. I know! I know I am going to get slapped wrists from my diabetic clinic, but I couldn’t resist temptation. I was one of the thousands who captured Lindt’s new TV advert for their chocolate bars. Personally, I was rather taken with the Macadamia nut bar, while my wife sat drooling over the orange bar. As normal we paid our regular trip to Sainsbury’s last Friday, and as we walked down the chocolate aisle – I could resist no more. Temptation got a hold of me (at least it’s not an apple Eve aye?) I searched out the Lindt range and spied my ...  Read the complete review

Oh my lord. Gosh. Good grief. Ohhhh. Ahhhh. Woohoo. WOOHOO. Woo and double hoo. LOL. ROFL. <Big Grin>. Multiple smiley faces. Did I miss any? I should hope not. I haven’t missed this anyway. This. You know, this. This category. It’s a chocolate category. Now do you see what I mean? I’m excited! This is me, remember - Jill, the one who loves the stuff more than anyone else does – well at least as much as anyone else does anyway. Lindt chocolate – um…how long have you got? Don’t worry, I’m not going to keep you here all day, I’m going to limit myself. I’m going to stick to just the one type of ...  Read the complete review

American chocolate sucks. It is really, really disgusting. Even Kitkats and Mars bars taste different over there. Most Americans arriving in the UK think they’re in heaven, chocolate-wise, but we know better. Sure, Cadbury’s Dairy Milk, and Mars’ Galaxy are nice, but they don’t quite top the chocolate stakes. For that you need to go further, deeper into continental Europe to Belgium for truffles and to, ta da da, Switzerland for the pure, solid stuff.. Lindt comes from the latter of these, and mmmmm, can you tell. ~~ History ~~ Back in the 1840s, two men with very silly names (David Sprüngli-Schwarz and Rudolf ...  Read the complete review

It may well surprise you to see theediscerning, dooyoo's resident poor gubber, reviewing some posh Swiss chocolate, but there you go. As reward for sitting through three quarters of an hour of some silly TV advert over and over again, for market research, he chose some Lindt Excellence Minis as reward, and hereby presents the results of some more market research. The plastic bag containing them is bright white with a brown blaze presenting the chocolate pieces in the centre ~ you'll recognise it, anyway. Inside are "27 extra fine squares", which are practically the size of After Eights, but smaller and perhaps thicker, and come all ...  Read the complete review

No trip to Sainsburys or any other shop come to that, is complete with out the pleasant stroll down the sweetie isle. Well the other day I walking down it, trying to pretend I wasn?t looking, when my eye spotted something different. I stopped for a proper look to find they had added something new. Oooo Right in front of me was a bar, about 3 ¼ inches by about 7-½ inches. The wrapper had a pure white back ground with pale blue on it. Written across the bar, in dark blue was the word ?STRACCIATELLA? (I?m so glad I?m writing this, I?d never be able to pronounce it). Underneath the long funny word it had a little picture, which looked like two scoops of vanilla ...  Read the complete review
