Argh! Where can I get Christmas tree chocs at this late stage?

[BitOutOfPractice]

I'm struggling and Christmas isn't Christmas wthout chocolates on the tree for mommy to pinch when the kids are in bed

Aldi have bags of chocolate trees by the till.

Just tie ribbon round full sized bars. Far more satisfying of an evening :o

Sainsbury's near us have loads!

Morrisons have loads in

M&S have lots

they had them in tesco

Another vote for Tesco. Bought a packet there last night (plus 2 packs of candy canes to put on the tree too!).

Hmm I've just tried Tescos and the poundshop and CoOp

Not sure when I'll get to M&S and we don't have a morrisons

Doesn't I like your thinking but it won't taste the same as Christmas tree chocolate will it?

No, it will taste better :o

HOW MUCH?!

we have loads as I bought some and so did dh. have still to put them on the tree though

I got some Cadbury's ones in Tesco yesterday. Quite hard to find, on those hanging things dotted about randomly. I did already have some but ate them all and had to replace before ds noticed .

In the past few days I've spotted them in Asda, aldi and sainsbury's. I'm pretty sure that I'd find some if I popped down to morrison's too.

They won't be in the chocolate aisle or anywhere you'd think sensible. They'll be in a basket somewhere fairly random in the supermarket.

Really? They're still everywhere?

Maybe you're right and I wasn't looking in the right place

Yes. Try the electrical department or the bleach aisle. Just not anywhere you'd actually think to look for them.

I love TurkeySoups idea.

Poundland have loads!

Lidl have chocolates for the tree. They come in a bag with a chocolate Santa as well. Lidl chocolate is lovely. I'm not sure how much they are exactly, but they're not that expensive.

Home bargains have them around here.

Just got some in sainsburys

At this late stage?????
My tree is still in the loft. I now feel the need to pull my finger out.

Asda had plenty today.

If none are to be found I use the Elizabeth Shaw orange or mint sweets, they are wrapped and all you do is sellotape a loop of gold or any colour thread on to the back and hang them on the tree. I usually have a pack or two of these in reserve to replenish the tree after the kids have been at the chocs plus it's not a sweet we normally have in the house so still feels a bit special iykwim.

I got some in tesco at the weekend, with the other Christmas chocolate stuff. Cadbury ones were 2 for £4. So we have loads. Although there are 5 of us, so it's not many each really. They also had some of their own brand ones, but the Cadbury purple goes with the colour scheme, so I wanted them. (How sad am I to want to coordinate the chocs to the other decorations!)

I despise you all and your chocolate bedecked coordinated trees
