Thorntons Almond Marzipan Bar

I was in Thorntons looking at the Easter eggs yesterday and I noticed a display of chocolate bars on the counter. Me and my daughter both like marzipan very much but I never see marzipan chocolate bars any more except for those Ritter ones which do not taste of proper marzipan to me.

Available singly at Thorntons shops, these can also occasionally be found in smaller supermarkets, although in larger supermarkets they are more likely to be found in multipacks. A single bar at Thorntons is 69p which I feel ...  Read the complete review

I must say that i do like these, i am a big fan of marzipan, and if you are too, then this is a lovely chocolate bar. Off the top of my head i cant think of any other chocolate bars which utilize marzipan to it potential like this. Although it isnt the cheapest, its not too bad considering it is thorntons, and it doesnt leave you too sickly. However, as i am a big fan of marzipan, and i am guessing you are, thus why you have come to look at this review! Here are some other marzipan related loves of mine! Firstly, A block of marzipan! you cant get much better than this, just sit there and eat it, usually a whole block will last me a few days, which ...  Read the complete review
