To think salted caramel Lindt balls...

Are the best thing ever?
Especially on a warm day when they are all melty and gooey?
I think they may be the nicest thing I have ever eaten.
I don’t work for Lindt btw, although maybe I should. Am seeking views to settle a household debate. Have name changed so the whole household can’t link to my previous threads.

Oh I’ve never had the voting option before!
So
YABU = no the salted caramel balls are not the best thing ever
YANBU = yes they are

I love Lindt balls and salted caramel and was really disappointed with these 🙁 I thought they tasted really artificial

HunterHearstHelmsley · 16/07/2020 20:18

I love them! Had a salted caramel bar from the shop in Leeds a while ago and haven't found them anywhere else 😭

Oh I’m surprised Cazza! I thought they outshone the others by a long way. Maybe you had a bad batch!

YABU clearly the mint Lindts are the amazeballs.

Oh no, they taste like toothpaste! The hazelnut one is probably second best in my ranking.

Yes. Amazing.
The pistachio ones are heavenly.

My Christmas centrepiece is a large vase filled with green, red and gold Lindt balls.

Though, every one of them has a slight mint taste by Christmas Day.

Higgeldypiggeldy35 · 16/07/2020 20:27

Definitely the white ones, then the milk ones.....omg I'm drooling

That seems like conclusive evidence that the mint ones are wrong.
I need to try the pistachio ones!

There is a Lindt shop next to the Duomo in Florence. I think going there and seeing the vast array of Lindt ball options (and buying a few) was one of the highlights o the trip for the DC!

YeahWhatevver · 16/07/2020 20:28

God yes, melty chocolate

I'm afraid you are wrong..... stracciatella is clearly the best flavour lindt ball!!!

CountFosco · 16/07/2020 20:29

Pistachio ones are awesome.

I’m currently on a Lindt ball diet, hence the obsession. I’ve given up virtually all chocolate, cake etc but am rationing myself 2 or 3 (occasionally 4) Lindt balls a day. It’s going surprisingly well.

Have never tried stracciatella!

lozengeoflove · 16/07/2020 20:31

Now that’s the kind of diet I can jump aboard on!

BillywigSting · 16/07/2020 20:32

Yabu, nothing salted caramel tastes good Envy

BillywigSting · 16/07/2020 20:33

Pistachio ones now, those sound like little spheres of heaven

Obviously I do eat other things besides Lindt balls, but it really helps to deal with my sweet cravings if I have a Lindt ball or two after every meal. I was working my way through different flavors but now I just can’t stop with the salted caramel ones.
