Have you tried these? These are my new addiction!

All the flavours please!!

Just ate a strawberry one. Love the orange. Love the mint. And new to the toffee chocolate!

Brilliant creation!

Ooh tempted to try the crunch ones but don't want to be disappointed- I love the chewy stickiness of the whips

rushes to purchase online

What are the mint like - I always think they look a bit like Bendicks bitter mints but I've never actually thought to try them. Are they firm or gooey?

DragonPoop · 09/03/2021 19:26

I can’t decide between the mint, orange or strawberry! My husband and DS love the rocky road ones!

jelly79 · 09/03/2021 19:52

@DragonPoop buy them all! And decide in the moment!

I've just had the toffee one

@GreenSlide they are firm and chewy! Mint ones are a big chocolatey hit!

I've not seen the orange or rocky road versions.

picklemewalnuts · 09/03/2021 20:20

Jelly, the crunch ones are like a chocolate rice crispy cake, but a little softer and with added flavours like mint and orange.

As we're here, I also highly recommend the Fibreone popcorn bars. Like, popcorn dipped in chocolate, with a little extra something. Mmm.

Why would you be unreasonable to like a chocolate bar?

Yeh. What’s your AIBU?
picklemewalnuts · 10/03/2021 07:27

AIBU to like and love to eat a bar of synthetic gooeyness, when I'm on a diet?

They are totally gloopy, like a refreshers chew bar or an Opal fruit.

Nice though!

ColouringPencils · 10/03/2021 07:44

Yes! Mint for me please. You can get them in B&M Bargains.

Milk chocolate, cocoa pops, water, glucose and bulking agent.

No sweeteners though!

Woodlandbelle · 10/03/2021 08:36

Oooh. I have cut done in carbs but allowing a treat at weekends. Freezing them is a great idea

LApprentiSorcier · 10/03/2021 12:48

I would think you're better off eating a small amount of high quality chocolate (or a large amount less frequently) than all those 'poly' ingredients.

LApprentiSorcier · 10/03/2021 12:51

Green & Blacks dark chocolate - far fewer ingredients:

Cocoa Mass #, Cane Sugar #, Cocoa Butter #, Vanilla Extract #, # = Certified Organic, Organic Chocolate: minimum Cocoa Solids 70 %, Fairtrade Cocoa, Sugar and Vanilla may be mixed with non-certified Cocoa, Sugar and Vanilla on a mass balance basis, total 100 %

jelly79 · 10/03/2021 13:11

Oh now this is food for thought! I am having 2 a day, everything else is super healthy but these are my sweet treat!

I may need weaning!

Opal93 · 10/03/2021 13:21

I wasn’t too fussed on them, but for 99 calories I’d rather have a Kit Kat for just 7 calories more, or a few squares of dairy milk or “real chocolate” iyswim. I don’t like the chewy texture of skinny whips. I do quite like the new white choc and strawberry ones though

DragonMamma · 10/03/2021 13:22

Love love love these

They remind me of the Boots shapers nougat bars you used to get. Amazing things.

mummyof2boys30 · 10/03/2021 13:23

Try bliss bars out of home bargains. Especially the crispy ones. Amazing

magicstar1 · 10/03/2021 13:27

These were on sale 3 boxes for €1 a couple of weeks ago. The mint are delicious!

PurpleFlower1983 · 10/03/2021 13:31

I like the Rocky Road ones, they are the only Dream that can be used as HEB on Slimming World, the crunch are 2 for HEB though which is great!

Blacklampshades · 10/03/2021 13:35

Full of crap nothing nutritious in it
I live the nakd chocolate crunch bars as all natural stuff and very few ingredients
