Dare I? Would you?

<Lighthearted thread... >
Opened my own box of chocolates... Mother's day gift..
I have eaten my favourite ones..
Dare I Go Downstairs when the top ones aren't all gone?
I can almost hear my aunt turning in her grave...
What odd habits/foibles. do you stick to that you don't need to as a Grown Up?

Eat the ones you like before someone else sees the box is open and tucks in!

I’m with you. It’s what I always do . I’m going through a box at the moment ( Easter gift leftovers).
My family doesn’t even dare to touch it.

This is the correct ratio!!

There is no such thing as a crappy chocolate.

...except Turkish Delight chocolates. They can burn in hell 😁

I was very confused. I wondered what voodoo magic was going to happen if I left chocolates to go downstairs. 😂

you forgot American chocolate

I ADORE Turkish delight 😍 With or without choc.

But Tesco TD choc is terrible!

🤣 me too! Because if you eat least favourite first then when you get to the end you're left with all the heavenly ones, much better than going top layer to bottom layer😁

Go downstairs...but replace the holes with the least favourites from upstairs. Mine would be the coffee or strawberry cream types 🤮

Thank you for this clarification 😂

You can start on the bottom layer anytime, and fill in the 'holes' with ones from the top layer.

apple and blackberry crumble incorporating rolled oats, serve with home made vanilla ice cream or even Mackies vanilla, cream, custard, or all three, as we need no permission - a fine end to summer’s hedgerow plundering

OP - I lived for a short time with a man who actually shouted to me
”finish this one before you open a new one” - I cannot honestly remember
what it was, a different flavour I suppose - but I do remember the look of shock
on my daughter’s face and my own laughing.
I guess he sounded exactly like one of his parents who I never knew.

Enjoy your chocs OP, Mother’s day was weeks ago.

This thread is throwing up the experienced choccy finaglers,
we know who you are now.

I had to keep checking this thread is from Today. This afternoon?
You still have chocolates remaining from Mother's Day??
YABVVU 😲

Calling that garbage chocolate is an insult to the name 😂

I unshackled myself from the rules of childhood pretty much when I left home-at uni I would eat cake for breakfast and once ate a whole Colin/inset-C-name caterpillar cake by myself in more or less one go. I can’t cope with that much sugar any more though 😂
