I opened the bar of 51% dark with seasalt & almond on Saturday & I've just eaten the last piece now.
I don't even like chocolate that much but this was delicious.....v v moreish!

It's still a lot to have eaten alone especially as I'm supposed to be watching wgat I eat due to clothes being too tight.

Will never buy it again!!

I think you did well not to eat the lot on Saturday 😁

EllieSattler · 20/09/2021 17:21

I was going to sympathise if you'd bought it this afternoon. Lasting 3 days is a masterclass in self control.

NalPolishRemover · 20/09/2021 17:22

Oh thank you both Grin
It seems like a lot of chocolate though & dh never got a look in ....
Oh well, it's gone now! Just as well

Same here, and I'm not a massive chocolate person either. My theory is it's actually crack rather than sea salt.

NalPolishRemover · 20/09/2021 17:24

It was the sea salt for sure! Keeps it from being sickly

YABU - Tony’s is cack Envy

SmellyOldOwls · 20/09/2021 17:25

I don't like Tony's Chocolonely! It reminds me of cheap advent calendar chocolate.

londonrach · 20/09/2021 17:29

Yabu re Tony's...it tastes awful and honestly don't understand the love of it.. if a good quality chocolate yanbu... chocolate is a food group ...you need your daily dose but choose one that tastes like chocolate not cheap advert chocolate..

londonrach · 20/09/2021 17:29

@SmellyOldOwls...great taste buds and you are right..

NalPolishRemover · 20/09/2021 17:33

What chocolate do you recommend @londonrach & @SmellyOldOwls?
As I said I'm not a huge fan of chocolate but I did find myself going back again & again for more of that dark chocolate bar....

Someone bought me a variety pack of them - it’s a shame as I tried them all but so many wanky flavours. They tasted like cheap chocolate

purplesequins · 20/09/2021 17:37

yabu
tony's pisses me off with the uneven pieces.

Beeinalily · 20/09/2021 17:37

I've never tried Tony's because of the price, so please tell me - why is it so much better than normal chocolate? I'm quite happy with a bar of Cadburys Dairy Milk, but I'm curious!

purplesequins · 20/09/2021 17:39

but yeah, 55% and thereabouts is the best cocoa ratio

LukeEvansWife · 20/09/2021 17:42

Is Cadbury’s Easter egg chocolate still amazing?

NalPolishRemover · 20/09/2021 17:43

Wow not much love for Tonys here!
I've never noticed wanky flavours, hotel chocolat has cornered that market I think. I've only ever had the milk, the sea salt & almond dark & one with pretzels it.
But it's v likey there's loads more?

I don't rate Cadburys as I find it v waxy now & too sweet.

I really like the flavour of Tonys & think it tastes how I imagine chocolate ought to taste

OP posts:
LukeEvansWife · 20/09/2021 17:44

Sea salt and almond is pretty wanky Grin

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 20/09/2021 17:46

I love Tony's!

tsmainsqueeze · 20/09/2021 17:51

Totally unreasonable ,mediocre at best .
You should have eaten a whole large size toblerone instead.

LukeEvansWife · 20/09/2021 17:53

Frozen Mars bars are the way to go - not the ice cream one, just a standard one. Leave in freezer (not fridge) overnight then remove and eat Wink

@SmellyOldOwls

I agree.

Willie’s Cacao is my fave

NalPolishRemover · 20/09/2021 17:53

I quite like toblerone but 2 or 3 triangles is enough for me

OP posts:
BlowDryRat · 20/09/2021 17:55

It's not your fault OP. The weird segment lines make it impossible to eat in small pieces. Poor design, tsk.

NalPolishRemover · 20/09/2021 17:55

I've never had Willie's cacao but I did watch that series years ago when he was starting out. Must try that next!

Is sea salt & almond wanky?

OP posts:
StealthPolarBear · 20/09/2021 17:55

I saw this in coop and was very tempted.
Agree that hotel chocolat has stupid flavours. Pansy petal and unicorn fart type chocolates. Nuts (not keen myself) and caramel are not wankey flavours.
