to feel very very very miffed with all the choc companies that they cannot make anything nice with dark chocolat apart from, ermmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......................

[psychomum5]

plain old dark chocolate.

I mean....

how hard surely could it be to make say.....

whispa's out of dairy free dark chocolate

or curly wurlys (well, I know it is harder as caramel is made from milk too, but still)

or flakes

or minstrals

or revels

I am just feeling very left out by all the 'yaying' about the return of whispas, and the fact that if I feel like some chocolate and go to buy some I have a grand choice of two, yes two different bars, and they are not even different, just different makes.

oh, and one make is nestle, so how bloody mean is that........

you lot all get a choice of 100+ different types of yummy choc, and I get stuck with G&B, which altho lovely, is boring day after day after day.

I want choice goddamnit, and I want a whispa.

They used to make
Toffee crisps
Frys 5 centres
Mars
Teacakes
Walnut Whips

All in dark chocolate

After eight mints? I larve them...

ah, but no, they have changed the recipe and they now contain butter fat.

so

ergo

not milk free

Frys 5 centres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tell me where, WHERE!!!!

I'd suggest Kitkat

Thorntons choc marzipan

Have you tried purchasing chocolate online, perhaps from a vegan source?

Bounty

And while i'm drooling.........bring back Pyramints!

but they are not milk free....they still contain milk.....

tis not fair I tells you, not fair.

and I just want a whispa really!

I adored Pyramints, and Secret bars.

You could buy cinder toffee & dip/drizzel it in melted choc

Or make cinder toffee, it's so easy and delish.

cinder toffee??? what is this that you speak of??

The inside bits of a crunchie (fairly sure it's dairy free could be talking nonsense) You buy it in bags in holiday resorts like Blackpool

YANBU about lack of choice, but at the same time I can't help feeling that it is unreasonable to be tired of G&B. Can you have all the variations, cherry, almond, Maya Gold (my favourite) etc?

I love maya gold, and the cherry one, but seriously, after a year of just that, it gets boring.

crunchie stuff tho, oooh, that sounds nice.

still not a choc choice tho

thankyou all for responding and trying tho

ooh- how do you make cinder toffee?
psycho I think its a northern thing... haven't seen ANY since I moved to midlands

They make Toblerone out of dark chocolate, scrummy!!!!

That is good enough for me

Vegan chocs

Do they still do 1776? or Anton Berg? that choc was fab

Caster sugar, golden syrup and bicarbonate of soda.

Recipe

montezuma do a couple of different dairy free bars (how dairy free do you need to be? is the ubiquitous "made in a factory which also makes..." warning ok? - dh can cope with this level, so have been looking stuff out for him)

dietary needs direct do a few bits of choc (but I think mostly just plain choc in different shapes...)

goodness direct also have some different things - think i just got dh some bounty substitutes which are dairy free from there.

will have a think and get back to you...

ooh - hotel chocolat do some dairy free stuff, but is quite ££££

silverfrog, hotel chocolate is very yummy (found a shop in southampton), but yes, too pricy for everyday stuff.

but it was a thrill finding 'buttons'!!!

oh, and dairy free with 'warnings' is fine

after dinner mints? www.kinnerton.com/nutsafety/allergyfree.html

Come hither....
