I was interviewing most of yesterday, had loads to do and was generally feeling a bit meh and tired. My boss went out and came back with a curly wurly to pep me up. I bloody love a curly wurly. What chocolate bar really hits the spot for you?

Double decker or bounty for me. But tbh there is a long list of other bars that would also make me happy! Orange twirl is a particular one

I'm thinking the same. Never had one - but I'm going to rectify that asap 🤩

Reese's Nutrageous

But will settle for a Snickers.

Boost!

I was wondering what happened to the peanut one, but apparently that's now Star!

It was a starbar originally, then became peanut boost but has reclaimed its rightful name and is indeed the king of chocolate bars! I never crave chocolate but if I see one of these I start drooling 😳

oneeggisunoeuf · 10/12/2024 16:24

Star bar. I remember when they came out in the 70s. I'm sure the peanut butter centre was squidgier then, or maybe it was the heat of the summer in 1976!

Arh interesting, I had no idea!

A starbar by any other names certainly tastes as delicious. 🤣

Oh hush now. I can’t have dairy and I want all the chocolate!

I can't have dairy either at the moment and I've found if I want something chocolatey like normal chocolate, not free from chocolate I have a recipe for chocolate buttercream using flora buttery, icing sugar and cocoa powder that hits the spot. Just added orange flavour to the last lot for some buns I made and it's amazing.

Why did I read this post as a 24 week pregnant woman with gestational diabetes 😭😭😭😭😭 I have a list of things to have once baby is born and some of these are going on the list!

Liquorish · 10/12/2024 16:45

I survive on chocolate. It’s hard to pick just one but I think i’ll have to go with orange Bournville!

CMOTDibbler · 10/12/2024 14:38

Frys chocolate cream. I can be pulled out of just about any pit by one of those

Me too.

Viavita · 10/12/2024 16:46

Another vote for the Starbar.
When I'm peckish, I'll have a starbar, salt n vinegar pringles and a diet coke.
Perfect.

DownWhichOfLate · 10/12/2024 16:47

@Esssa - thanks, I’ll give that a go!

Justcashnosweets · 10/12/2024 16:48

A Twix or a KitKat Chunky. I do love a Walnut Whip aswell, but one isn't enough.

Esssa · 10/12/2024 16:48

@DownWhichOfLate It's obviously not very healthy but sometimes it's necessary!

I was once having the worst day at work. I’d been forced practically into being a PA for an awful awful new director at the company I’d been at for 8 years. He was making my life a misery. I’d just had a MC and was just so sad. One of his ops managers who had been there years like me went on his lunch break and when he came back he placed a family size bar of galaxy caramel on my desk, gave me a really kind smile and a wink and walked off. I think he’s retired now, he didn’t have time for the new directors bollocks either 😂 but that Galaxy really cheered me up.

DownWhichOfLate · 10/12/2024 16:50

@Esssa - ha! Everything in moderation!

I’m one of those sicks fucks that loves a bounty.

wholettheturnipsburn · 10/12/2024 16:53

Dark bounty. Can get me out of any low mood

Your boss is a legend.😂

rumred · 10/12/2024 16:54

A picnic, revels or orange twirl. All could pull me out of the doldrums.
