To just eat the chocolates myself.

Me and my dsis were discussing favourite chocolates and we both agreed we love Raffaello. So was out and about and bought her a box for Christmas. I'm not 100% but I am pretty sure they are not going to last the day. Wrap or eat people, they are calling to me?

So not to drip feed i'm 39 weeks pregnant. Coconut counts as my five a day right?

I have never tried them. So as a favour to me please could you describe exactly their taste and texture. You may need to cut one I half.....

Passthecake30 · 18/12/2017 13:52

39 weeks... you go for it! Get your energy up and all that Wink

Afreshturkeyplease · 18/12/2017 13:55

Eat them!

Eatalot · 18/12/2017 14:00

I ate the chocolates for the energy. They are lovely forerro roche but lighter and creamier with coconut coating.

If im honest I knew when I got them it was 50 50 for me.

Always by 3 in these situations, one for you, one for gift and one for emergencies.

MikeUniformMike · 18/12/2017 14:14

When buying chocolates for other people, I always buy ones I don't like. Otherwise it gets expensive.

Eatalot · 18/12/2017 14:17

Theres a chance id eat all three. So far Nanas not getting her shortbread, dfil not getting his wine gums and dh not getting his skittles
This wasn't all today. Wrapping doesnt help its like a gift to myself. Not normally a sweet tooth so I can justify. Grin

I've already eaten a box of chocs I bought for someone else and I'm not pregnant Blush

Ok people I raise you all eating chocolates for other people as presents and I give you this....I ate a child's selection box yesterday.

A tiny child's selection box.

The whole thing. Yes, twas wrapped and everything.

Delicious.
The devil is going to take me, this I know, but even a rugby tackle to the ground by the Rock Dwayne Johnston would not have kept me from those chocolates.

Grin you’ll be doing last minute Christmas Eve at your local spar shopping.

MikeUniformMike · 18/12/2017 14:57

I used to have a boyfriend who would buy me chocolates pretty much every time we saw each other. Sometimes there might be one or two left. I'd let him eat those too.

DesignedForLife · 18/12/2017 15:02

It's a good idea to buy chocolates you don't like. But being 39 weeks you should have just bought yourself a box to start with.

MikeUniformMike · 18/12/2017 15:14

Hear hear Designed. I like your thinking. Not pregnant but thinking of nipping out for some last minute presents.

amusedbush · 18/12/2017 15:19

A couple of years ago I ate FIL's walnut whips. Then I ate the replacements.

I ended up out on Christmas Eve to get another box and get them wrapped before I could scoff them Grin

user1493413286 · 18/12/2017 15:21

I’ve replaced some of DDs stocking chocolate twice as I couldn’t keep away from it.

jay55 · 18/12/2017 15:53

My sister and her partner clearly don’t need a bag of liquorice torpedoes each.
Hope they were delicious

Blackteadrinker77 · 18/12/2017 16:00

I opened a bottle of Ameretto

Oops!

Hippadippadation · 18/12/2017 16:19

I've eaten some chocolates that I bought for myself from the DDs, haha. I have replaced them as well and wrapped them. Pointless really!

Allthewaves · 18/12/2017 17:02

Lol eat them and send dp to supermarket tom

Owlish · 18/12/2017 17:45

This is why I leave edible presents till the very last minute, practically till I have to deliver them to the recipient. I admire your restraint in not eating them as soon as you got them home Xmas Grin

CheshireChat · 18/12/2017 18:05

I love Raffaellos and will have to get some. That and some Aldi coconut chocolate Xmas Smile.
