Chocolate buttons

I have a hankering for these (specifically buttons, not just a bar) and am looking for recommendations.
I'm not keen on big-brand ones like Cadbury/Galaxy. I like Montezuma's, although I find the dark a bit dark and the milk a bit sweet.
Anyone know of any high-ish-end buttons (not SUPER-expensive) that might fit the bill? I'm open to flavours, but do also like just chocolate ones.

As an aside, chocolate buttons are fab in pancakes.

M&S enormous ones are nice (to me!), but they are milk chocolate. Might be a bit mainstream in flavour.

Infinitemoon · 01/02/2022 15:47

M&S are my favourite but probably are a bit bland. Smile

Yup. Hotel chocolat are primo!

God those huge M&S ones are amazing. Cocoa Loco are good too. I don't rate Hotel Chocolat at all.

What did you go for in the end? Thoughts?

IntermittentParps · 04/02/2022 08:30

Haven't committed yet Grin I'd like to try Cocoa Loco but the shipping will cost more than the buttons (unless I buy loads, of course...)
My lovely local corner shop/greengrocer are looking into getting some; their supplier doesn't do Montezuma's but I'm sure there must be another.
I like to support them as much as possible, so I'll see what they come up with.

I love the huge M&S ones in mint.

@IntermittentParps, I wasn't going out today, I was going to sort the house out and now I have to leave the house and get some. It's all your fault! Angry

I'm glad I don't have an M&S nearby, I'd never be out of there/stop eating Grin

Chococo buttons are the best

menobobbin · 04/02/2022 10:50

Chococo chocolate buttons are so delicious!
Actually, anything from chococo is delicious 😊

IntermittentParps · 04/02/2022 13:47

Might try those then!

Those mint M&S ones are delicious!

You could put a Montezuma dark chocolate button's flat side against the flat side of one of their milk chocolate buttons and bit into the 2 of them together. I'm getting through one square of my 85% cocoa dark chocolate sandwiched between 2 After Eights (left over from Christmas) each evening at the moment.

I don’t know if this make are available countrywide now that you’ve made me think about it.

But I get Josh’s giant chocolate buttons at work when we stock them and they are amazing.
