My favourites are the champagne ones Smile. Every Christmas I buy half a kilo and string them as decorations for my tree -( I may in fact buy a kilo but a few are tested for quality control )-

I bought DH peanut butter Lindt balls one Christmas. He was ecstatic!
They were very spendy, I got them from America.
Oooh they were good!

WomanStanleyWoman · 02/09/2021 01:15

Oh yes; those were amazing. You used to be able to get them, and other unusual flavours, in Whittards - I think they had an official tie-up for a while.

My favourite ever flavour was raspberry 😋😍

@WomanStanleyWoman

I went on the Lindt factory tour/chocolate museum in Cologne and spent a) the entire time drooling and c) way too much money in the gift shop 🍫🍬🍬Grin

I believe you can usually get Lindor flavours you don’t see on the high street; maybe they’re only made for certain markets or are exclusive to Lindt directly? I remember having champagne flavoured ones, and I think pistachio. I really want to try the mango ones you get in duty free shops, but they’re soooo expensive…

Pistachio Lindt is amazing! Haven’t seen it for years.
WolfFleeceSpotter · 02/09/2021 01:20

Hold on, what is this deliciousness I have been missing out on? Pumpkin spice? Amaretto? Pistachio? Peanut Butter? Need the lot!

I would also like them to do a malted one, like a large Malteaser. If anyone tells me they make them and I have been missing out, I will have to reevaluate my priorities!

FrankiesKnuckle · 02/09/2021 01:31

I couldn't sleep anyway but now looking at the online pick and mix I've got palpitations!
I'd be all over pumpkin spice and peanut butter ones too.

HerNameIsIncontinentiaButtocks · 02/09/2021 02:13

The enormous gold slab bars, I think they're 600g each. As many as you can carry of your preferred types. You won't regret them.

Hello, where abouts is said lindt shop please? I'm Herefordshire. Willing to travel lol. I love the original red balls, and m&s do a good version, but a friend gave me a dark choc orange bar. 3 of those please Grin

MinnieJackson · 02/09/2021 02:54

@WolfFleeceSpotter malted is such a good idea!

IncyWincyGrownUp · 02/09/2021 03:23

York outlet Lindt shop is one of my favourite places to waste money.

I like to get the pistachio, hazelnut, caramel, amaretto, and orange.

alwayscrashinginthesamecar1 · 02/09/2021 03:38

There is a Lindt factory shop near where my husband works. It is cheap as chips, we try to only go twice a year. The mango ones are my favourite, my son likes the dark mint, and husband likes the old stylee red ones.

BlueBell50 · 02/09/2021 04:01

Thank you so much for the link and the idea of using them as tree decorations. I can’t wait Grin

I’m another whose OH spent a fortune at the factory shop in Zurich and even more at the pick and mix in Salzburg,

Monty27 · 02/09/2021 04:09

Chocolate. Just chocolate. Any chocolate.
Enjoy OP 😃

MyCatEatsPrawnCrackers · 02/09/2021 05:22

Amaretto? Lindt make amaretto balls? Why was I not informed until now? Shock

There's a Lindt shop?

Noshowwithoutpunch · 02/09/2021 09:00

Just lots of white Lindors for me please.

Rockbird · 02/09/2021 09:03

Mango lindor? What the hell? I'm not googling a route to Birmingham, honest!

Alonelonelyloner · 02/09/2021 09:03

I always thought that Lindt was the cheap and nasty chocolate (I lived in Switzerland - don't judge me. Not by choice!),

but these sound quite nice.

I now live in a different EU country and everyone still thinks cheap and nasty. What am I missing?

ThinWomansBrain · 02/09/2021 09:07

Dark chocolate truffles please - the ones in black foil

ThinWomansBrain · 02/09/2021 09:09

cheap and nasty
Have you tried galaxy or dairy milk?

Alonelonelyloner · 02/09/2021 09:10

I have and they are gross I admit. But they don't have those here so maybe it's a lack of comparison...

billy1966 · 02/09/2021 09:28

@DanielRicciardosSmile

Many many many mint Lindor. They are my absolute favourite chocolates ever.
My daughter likes to drop one into a flat white coffee.....surprisingly yummy!
Ragwort · 02/09/2021 09:29

Thank you for this, loving the website but also off to Birmingham next week, I know where I will be heading meant to helping student DS choose clothes for his first job Grin.

billy1966 · 02/09/2021 09:31

I think cheap and nasty is a bit harsh but having also lived in Switzerland 30 years ago I think it was a smoother and richer 30 years ago.
Godiva chocolates were a surprising disappointment for me.
