Milk Tray - what the fuck?

[OhToBeASeahorse]

4 days post partum. Baby fell asleep on my bed so not in a safe position so I cant leave her to go and get breakfast. Thankfully someone bought me a.box of Milk Tray that I thought I could have.

Fuck me. They are rank. I've had to eat loads cos I'm.starving and my milk has just come in but talk about wasted calories.

It's like eating a sweet candle

Hi op- love your name!
If you are four day post partum then it is entirely acceptable for you to go completely bonkers and cry for two hours about Dairy Milk.
Then get someone to bring you something decent. Tony's choconoley ideally.

I was still in hospital at 4 days pp first time, and neither time was is easy to move my body to go and get to a source of superior calories.

Kraft/ Mondaleze have utterly trashed Cadbury's. Its an offence against national treasures.

Oh I agree, milk tray are rank. Congratulations on your new baby

I wouldn't leave a 4 day old baby on a pillow either op.

Pick her up though. She prob
won't wake up and they are quick to get back to sleep at that age. Mine is 16 weeks now. I even get him out of the car seat when he is asleep to put in pushchair etc.

The sacrifices we make as mothers eh !

Well done on ploughing on through rank chocolates.

Something awful happened to Terrys Chocolate Orange as well.

It's an orange conspiracy.

Get Aldi or Lidl chocolate. It’s much nicer.

Agreed, they are rank! Congratulations on your new baby.

Put baby on the floor and go and get something to eat. I agree Cadburys is rank.

@mysticpistachio thanks. My first born woke when someone coughed in Brazil.

DH is back. Thank fuck.

I would break contact with the person who brought them, they've always been revolting, even before the yanks took Cadburys. If a new baby's mother doesn't deserve Hotel Chocolat or something as good then you need new friends!

I like your thinking @keeprocking

@OhToBeASeahorse Congratulations!

You need and deserve MUCH better chocolate than milk tray. M&S, Thornton’s, Lindt or Hotel Chocolat are all so much nicer than Cadbury’s.

Poor you, Milk Tray really are the worst of all boxed chocolate options and have been for years. It’s a shame because people buy them as gifts based on their reputation and packaging probably not realising how awful they are!

The key question though - are they still delivered by a handsome mysterious stranger (and would that make up for how rank they are)?

Even my elderly Dad can't eat Cadbury's any more. I started treating him to Love Cocoa bars, which are expensive but made by one of the actual Cadbury family, and they are wonderful. But then again they don't have all their cocoa butter removed, sold to cosmetics industry at a profit and then replaced by cheap and nasty palm oil...

Currently eating a bar of Lindt Excellence which is also palm oil free.

Sadly Green & Blacks isn't - but it's also owned by Cadbury/Mondelez.

Rose's and Quality Street are now both revolting. Thornton's isn't as nice as it used to be either, its since they started using palm oil, it makes chocolate waxy. Green and Blacks is best now.
Congratulations on your baby!

Why anyone thinks a trade deal with the US is a good idea after the desecration of our national chocolate, I don't know. Everything will be transformed into pigswill.

A British company should buy Hersheys and make it actually nice, just to spite them!

Congrats on the baby OP.

I sometimes find rank chocolate is ok if melted and made into chocolate krispies.

I used to love Dairy Box, they were my favourite chocolates.

A few Easters ago, my dad bought me a box instead of an egg. I managed about half a layer but that's all I could stomach, I ended up throwing them in the bin.

It was like eating a wax melt, shiny, greasy looking chocolate with hideous centres.

I'd actually rather eat a bag Good Boy dog chocs than ever eat Dairy Box again.

Congratulations on new baby!

Insist family run to shops and check ingredients before selecting you new chocolates.

Palm oil is vile. My daughter was given a box of Thornton. Very disappointing, taste oily. Checked ingredients and yep now contain palm oil 🤮

@MrsMaglev sadly not and given the state of me I dont think he would be very interested!!

Ooh, isn't Green Black palm oil free anymore?

They've become horrible. Grren and Blacks are still nice, but otherwise the whole Cadbury's/Kraft thing is a bitter disappointment.

Congratulations on the baby, and I hope someone brings you nicer food immediately.

Cadbury's isn't good l now. Milk Tray is the biggest disappointment. My Grandma brought me some. She then rang me a few days later after trying them herself to apologise for sending me a box of awful chocolates.
