Advantages: Tastes lovely

Disadvantages: Quite hard to get into

I'm quite partial to a bar of chocolate but this has to be one of my favourites. For some absolutely bizzare reason which I can't seem to put my finger on right now, I only eat these at Christmas time. It's like this unspoken rule in my mind that I will turn to stone if I pick one up before the 1st of December! What's that all about?

You can buy them in the shape of an orange or circular wodge of chocolate or you can get them in bars. They come in dark or milk chocolate but wither way you will find that you have to dismantle them by breaking off a segment of chocolate.

My main annoyance with this product is the way you eat them. I don't know about you but when I get one, all I want to do is shove it down my gullet until I feel sick. The thing is that once you take it out of it's box and unwrap the foil, it is extremely difficult to get any further than this within a small timeframe. You suddenly come to a grinding halt whilst your brain and fingers work together to figure out how you prise the first wedge of chocolate from the circular chocolate ball that you hold before you. You can try gently to pull out a wedge but it doesn't work because it's glued to middle, you can gently tap it on the fat of your thighs but this doesn't work because there is so much chocolate that the ball is pretty solid. I would recommend getting a hard surface like your hubbys head, the wall or something similar and throwing it! If you choose your hubby's head then you will be left with a partner who is unconscious on the floor which will give you a chance to devour the lot and before he comes around so everyone's a winner!

The taste of the chocolate is indescribable but I'll give it a go anyway! I find it to be on a par with Cadburys because it's not too creamy but not too bland. The orange gives it a little 'kick' without being too overpowering and once you get going on a piece, it starts to melt into the crevices of your mouth and take on the consistency of glue.

This chocolate comes highly recommended by me and if you fancy some now then you can pick up a bar for around 60p! Yum!
