Things that belong in chocolate

  • Nuts
  • Mint
  • Orange

Things that definitely DO NOT belong in chocolate

  • Ginger
  • Chilli
  • Lime
  • Chilli and lime together. Abomination.

Am I right?

Ave - yes, it was Montezumas!! OMG Montepukers, more like.

AmIright - yes, it's definitely you, you poor love. I'm sure there are some self-help books out there that can help. Wink

Blooper - basil? Basil? I'm turning into Sybil Fawlty.

Chilli belongs in everything. Fact.

BlooperReel · 14/06/2018 14:54

@critiqueofeveryday yep Basil, Mr Faulty would definitely have something to say about that.

@GallicosCats deep fried mars bars are DELICIOUS (as long as they're hot and fresh)

Fruit does not belong in chocolate (unless it is a strawberry dipped in a chocolate fondue). All those fruits of the forest cream things you get in those tins at Christmas 🤢

I think lime is normalish for chocolate - remember sweet shop chocolate limes?

Onlyoldontheoutside · 14/06/2018 14:59

Agree with chilli and ginger.Palm oil should be banned.

"remember sweet shop chocolate limes"

The horror, the horror.

Mmm rose and violet creams are fab. I also quite like ginger and cherry but that's it. However I don't like just chocolate in chunks, just thin over things, a big chunk of chocolate makes me gag, it's just like mouth glue. I do however accept that this opinion possibly makes me an alien and not a member of the human race.

I understand. My dh turns faintly green and leaves the room every time he sees me merrily slathering my marmite on my chocolate.

We should be best friends, then you can give me all those horrible big slabs of chocolate people give you. Grin

I'm with Lemony, rose, violet or geranium creams, great.

Lump of chocolate? No thanks.

L0UISA · 14/06/2018 16:56

Rose and violet are Perfumes not food .

Riddo · 14/06/2018 17:34

I was given some prosecco truffles for Christmas. They were most unpleasant.

user1499173618 · 14/06/2018 17:44

Chocolate and ginger cake is one of my favorites Smile

TheRattleBag · 14/06/2018 17:47

I used to like the lime barrels that came in Milk Tray (or was it All Gold?) Surely I'm not the only one?

Haberpop · 14/06/2018 17:49

Orange has no place in chocolate.

BakedBeans47 · 14/06/2018 17:51

aldi do chilli and cherry chocolate which sounds disgusting but is lush

ALongHardWinter · 14/06/2018 17:52

I don't think fruit of ANY kind should be in chocolate. Nuts and mint,fine. But orange,strawberry or that abomination lime,no way.

ALongHardWinter · 14/06/2018 17:53

And don't get me started on pineapple on pizza.

fourquenelles · 14/06/2018 17:54

I want chocolate limes now. Lush.

Oh and while I am at it chocolate and nuts are a match made in Heaven. sticks tongue out

To think this is an abomination.
agentdaisy · 14/06/2018 20:24

I agree with your lists op but would add caramel, strawberry and cherry to the belongs in chocolate list.

Salt/salted caramel, marshmallow and honey shouldn't be allowed anywhere near chocolate.

Palm oil doesn't belong in anything let alone the deliciousness that is chocolate.

MrsMoastyToasty · 14/06/2018 20:31

Peanuts should not go in chocolate.
Peanuts = savoury
Chocolate = sweet

End of.

DwangelaForever · 14/06/2018 21:08

Why are so many against mixing sweet and savoury flavours, honestly it's amazing!

Particular favourite of mine is chocolate covered salted pretzels 😍😍😍 delicious. And yes to all the bits
