Getting married in a few months time and for a bridesmaid present i was going to get lots of choccie for my best friend who lives in portugal so misses our english chocolate.

She has said her favourite has an orange wrapper and is crisy inside. i could think of tofee chrisp but they have them there.

She coudlnt get them out in portugal. She obviously has her favourite portugese ones that she eats all the time out there but it isnt the same.

Crispy's not much of a description though - what sort of crispy? Rice, nuts, orange sugary bits, weevils?

nailpolish · 03/03/2006 15:18

nailpolish · 03/03/2006 15:19

Will try and get more info out of her tomorrow, crunchie was a good guess, have sent her an email with 'crunchie' on it.

A weevil's not something you want in a chocolate bar. Even the lesser of them.

nailpolish · 03/03/2006 15:22

starlover · 03/03/2006 15:23

RachD · 03/03/2006 15:36

I don't think it is crunchie.
Doesn't crunchie come in a more 'yellow' wrapper ?

I can see, taste what bf is describing, but name won't come to me.

hunkermunker · 03/03/2006 15:37
