The Chocolate Thread

[Polly Sandybanks]

Well.. every forum needs one. :p

There are so many chocolate lovers around the world.

So.. do you like chocolate?
What kind of chocolate is your favourite?
Why?

etc etc etc.

[Catz]

Mmmmmmm......chocolate.......
the darker and stronger the better:thumbs: :cool:
:catz:

[Nessa]

Taaastyyy, but milk chocolate only, thank you! ;)

[Fatty]

I like dark 70% coco at least please :-) A bit of rum or ginger goes nice too. :-)

[Tinuviel]

DEFINITELY dark chocolate...... I have a weakness for the cadbury ones with rum, raisin and dark chocolate.:p

[Ilmarë]

Dark chocolate... especially Maya Gold!! Yum!!.... but then.... Nutella.... mmmmm... nice for ...spreading :elfeek:
Sorry.. but i'm going on holiday....i'm going slightly whacky already;)

:elfqueen:

[Pil]

when i was young ONLY milk would do (when i was a baby ONLY white would do! lol) But now i have a liking for dark chocolate ornage cremes...and strawberry cremes... Basically i eat all the ones that get left by everyone else in the roses box...handy...! veryhappy

[Polly Sandybanks]

Urg.. I'll eat dark chocolate if there's nothing else around.. but I don't really like it much. I prefer milk chocolate. And I hate anything with raisins or rum in it. Yuk. pfbbt

But then.. it's good that we've got different tastes.. or else there'd be no good chocolate left. ;) veryhappy

[Tinuviel]

so true Polly!lol :thumbs:

[Lady Arien]

I'm nowhere near the fiend I used to be...my tastes run more toward black licorice and my current rage is Mint Skittles, but when the mood strikes, there's nothing better than See's milk chocolate bars with toffee bits, or anything from Godiva, as long as I can con someone else into buying it for me, but then, Illuvy NEVER says no to his lady!!!

[Ilmarë]

Ahh... you lucky, lucky woman!!!!

[A! Elbereth]

I love chocolate - but not enough to get withdrawals (seriously) I like just about any kind of chocolate yumm

[Arwen]

chocolate is yummy, I love it!:thumbs:
I love most kinds of chocolate...thought nothing with nuts or white chocolate please

[Catz]

Nutella eh Ilm?.....why do i get the feeling someones been caught with a spoon in the Nutella jar before now, hmmm?:naughty: :nono: :flamer: lol
the only milk chocolate i like is in the Belgian Guylian chocolate sea shells, with the praline filling......luscious....looooove belgian chocolate:loveyou:
:catz:

[Tinuviel]

champagne truffles.........mmmmmm:p

though when I get those, it means hubby's really sorry for something he did or didn't do.... hehelol
bad Tinuviel!

[Pil]

Oh my god :catz: You sooooo should have come wih my school. We went to Ypres when we were studying WW1 and the school gave us tokens so that we could go carzy and buy LOADS of belgian chocolate! It was THE BEST! There were like, seven chocolate shops JUST on one street...the ferry back to dover wasn't that enjoyable though. :sneezy: :dragon: lol

[Polly Sandybanks]

I want chocolate NOW!!! *runs down the stairs to get some*:stomper: :stomper: :stomper: :shhh:

[Catz]

OK....now youve done it!!! *catz searches frantically thru her loose change*....now i really HAVE to buy some.....;) lol lol
:catz:

[Mirkgirl]

Here we go again.... and that's just when my dark chocolate supply is exhausted.... Better run to the shop.

[Polly Sandybanks]

Oops. :embarras:

Why don't I ever learn!? I shouldn't start threads like this!! Now I want chocolate!!! CHOCOLATE!!!

[Catz]

can you from reading this which ones the real chocoholics are???lol roflmao lol
:catz:

[Pil]

I'm probably not one of them...:( i suppose that's a good thing for my figure though! veryhappy :embarras: lol

I had a yorkie bar today...it was good... :huh: :rolleyes: :p

[Polly Sandybanks]

Actually.. I haven't touched a bit of chocolate since... erm... yesterday. :embarras: :huh:

[Kwijibo]

Mum buys me Organic dark chocoate from TESCO. It's made from 70% cocoa and it is :angel: HEAVEN :angel:

My Easter Egg was made from the same stuff, but it had vanilla in it too and it was the most stunning piece of chocolate it had ever tasted!
:) :p :)

Damn you catz, I knew I shouldn't read the whole thread verymad

[Catz]

Ooooops....:embarras: lol

[Catz]

i have just this moment pulled a tray of double choc muffins out of the oven......made with chopped up 70% chocolate....and.........*catz speaks thru a mouthfull, lightly spraying crumbs about*....theyre dang good!!!!;) lol
:catz:

[Polly Sandybanks]

Ah!! Can you send me some?? *hopeful look in catz direction* :stomper: :wave:

[Polly Sandybanks]

Look what I found: http://www.candydirect.com

Don't look there if you're like me though! It's probably good that I live in Sweden.. I don't think that candy would be as good once it came all over here. :)

[Lady Galadriel]

I'm not a big fan of chocolate. In fact...I despise it. This is rather ironic because my family owns a Swiss restaurant, Andre's, and makes chocolate as well....funny.

[Calenhendi]

*stomach growls* I need to go home and make batch of chocolate chip cookies! I was craving a nice salad, but that idea went right out the window when I started reading this thread.

[Catz]

thats probably why you dislkie it tho Lady G...i find that when im around lots of chocolate, say a Christmas when i make a lot of chocolates, i find i cant beart the sight of it for at least a month afterwards....just overload, i think....:naughty: lol
Whoops....sorry Cal....another healthy diet bites the dust lol lol lol
:catz:

[Nessa the Dancer]

Oooo Chocolate! *mouth waters* I love it! All of it! Though too much white gives me headaches SHAME! A gift to cope with any problem (except toothache perhaps).
Now what did I do with that Whispa? Oh yes, I ate it didn't I!

Nessa

[Calenhendi]

Ohhhhh. White chocolate. *drool*
Now I'm craving a pint of Ben & Jerry's, New York Super Fudge Chunk ice cream.

[TheRingBearer]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Chocolate *drools* :)

[Pil]

U know what...i hate chocolate ice-cream! I LOVE chocolate and i LOVE ice-cream...just not together. I don't mind chocolate chunks (cookie chunks are the best)...it's weird really... :huh: :p

[Catz]

god i looove chocolate ice cream....especially MY chocolate ice cream....made with egg yolks and cream and the best dark chocolate, so that the finished ice cream has that slightly chewy texture....yuuummmmmmmy
:catz:

[Pil]

I like it when u get the cookie chunk ones...cos they do that too...strawberry ice-cream used to be my fav...now it's caramel...

NOW DON'T GET ME STARTED ON CARAMEL!!!! ALL THAT GOOEY NUMNESS!!!!!!!!!!!! :loveyou:

[Elendur]

Dolce De Leche from Hagen Daz... Yum Yum... as I have survived on a diet of Coke and all forms of chocolate over the past 20 odd yrs I feel a bit of an expert on the subject!!!..... older you get.... it still tastes fine!!!:cool: :thumbs:

[Catz]

well im glad im not the only one with such healthy eating habitslol lol ....tho not so much chocolate these days....still a big coke drinker tho...hehehe im the original Caffeind;) lol tis good for what ails ya.....:thumbs: roflmao
:catz:

[Pil]

I don't drink fizzy drinks....or tea....or coffee...i vow never to drink something that i can't see to the bottom of....but i drink milk so that's not really happening..... My drinks consist of water, water and more water! :thumbs: :)

[Catz]

ahhh im off to do some baking.....hmmmmmm self saucing chocolate Pud i think....its cold tonite.....yum yum....;) lol lol
:catz:

[Elendur]

... just isn't what it used to be though Catz... not half as much caffeine. I remember almost glowing in the dark after a couple of cans sometime mid..80's!!
However a good bar of galaxy , one of cadburys, a mars and a twix before during and instead of every meal... is the way to go... try Mountain Dew.. its caffeine content still seems to be relatively unhealthy!!!:cool: :thumbs:

[Ringwraith]

I love chocolate, and chocolate loves me. :)

[Catz]

heheh yeah i think coke was a bit more potent in the 80's Elendur.....i should know...i lived on it lol ....nothing like that choc and coke diet :grin: :cool: , tho like most men you dont seem to show the effects, which just is NOT fair pfbbt lol
i swear men have some sort of gene that means no matter how much junk they eat they dont put on weight !!!!
lol
:catz:

[Polly Sandybanks]

Oh believe me.. some men DO put on weight!! It's just more accepted for men to be overweight, than for women. (mecry)

Did you know that doctors used to give chocolate to people as medicine!? I can't remember what it was for though, but I wouldn't mind some chocolate instead of whatever other medicine you usually get. ;)

And coke is supposed to be really good for you when you're feeling ill, for some reason.

As long as you don't have too much of any of it. It's hard not to though. I LOVE chocolate!!

[Mirkgirl]

300ml coke (light) and 50g chocolate (dark) three times a day... that's the threatment lol

I prefer Coca Cola Light, the normal is just too sweet

[Pil]

I faint loads...and chocolate helps! :thumbs:

[Catz]

What......helps you to faint?????;) :naughty: lol lol
have to admit i dont need any excuse to indulge....but im nice like that!!! lol roflmao lol
:catz:

[Elendur]

..Catz... you are not the first person to say that to me!! I think my weight moved by about 1lb through 15/16 years of junk food... mind you I did play quite a few sports!! .. Its not my fault if for a girl...Eyes+Chocolate + nightmare!!! or ... warning..... warning.... signs from the bathroom scales!!!
:evilcool:
Unfortunately for my chocolate habit..but fortunately for my continued well being!. my wife can eat just as much as I can.. with even less effect!!
Oh Well time for a midnight munch!!!
:thumbs:

[Ringwraith]

Chocolate rules, but it is mean and makes people fat!

[Catz]

ONE POUND??????verymad pfbbt pfbbt that is soooo unfair Elendurlol lol
Still its a good thing you and your wife are both that way (even if it is sickening:rolleyes: ;) ) nothing worse in a relationship than a junk food tolerance imbalance:naughty: ;) lol lol been there done that;) few things can incense a wife like a hubby chowing down on choccy when she cant lol roflmao roflmao lol
:catz:

[Pil]

That would be HEEEEELL! I have a friend like that...*looks angrily at bonos-girl* :angry: lol

What the hell...it aint stoppin me! Choccie! veryhappy (in moderation of course! lol)

[Pil]

Plus...:catz:....I didn't say it helps me TO faint...it helps me to feel btter when i wake up... :(

[Catz]

hehehe...jes windin y'up Pil;)
yep...hell it is......my ex husband was a 6ft streak of not much who ate like a horse and never put on a pound!!! grounds for divorce all on its own if you ask me lol lol
:catz:

[Little Devil]

STOP IT!!! you guys are killing me with all this talk bout chocolate!!!! ...must get chocolate......must get chocolate....(only milk and white mind you) ;)

[Catz]

What ....???? you want us to stop talking about chocolate?? that smooth silky treat?....chocolate, that delightful flavour thats quite addictive?.......about sweet delights like truffles and pralines?...about chocolate white, milk and dark?:naughty: ;) lol :flamer:
Youre not the only devil around here;) lol roflmao lol
:catz:

[Mirkgirl]

*investigates where the big chocolate companies are paying Polly to start such threads... and of course gathers strenght from a chocolate bar*

Devils? Where? ^:angel:^

[Polly Sandybanks]

:angel: :blush: Eh.. hehe. I'm sorry!

It's just.. I'm addicted to chocolate! I can't help it! There's a little chocolate devil inside me who tells me to start these threads! :evil:

SORRY!!!!! :huh: mecry :elfeek: :(

I wish some huge chocolate companies would pay me for doing this though! I couldn't need some extra money (or chocolate). :)

[Mirkgirl]

oh, yes no doubt they pay you with chocolate lol

[Little Devil]

So Polly you have a choccie devil inside you? :evil: Wonder who it can be...................

[Polly Sandybanks]

I was in the chatroom earlier today and Mirky asked me if I shouldn't revive the chocolate thread. I can't find the original one now, it's probably too old, so I'll just make a new one. :)

I know there are lots of chocoholics out there. :) This is the thread for you.

I actually read about chocolate in the paper just now. Did you know that there's some cannabis-like thing in chocolate. Chocolate gives you a higher blood pressure (is that the name of it?) which makes your heart work faster, or whatever, and that's what happens when chocolate can make you feel happy or whatever. So now that's explained.

What's your favourite chocolate? Are you as mad about chocolate as I am?

This is the thread that has made some people (I won't mention any names ;)) go out and buy chocolate at 4 AM in the morning. Be warned! :elfeek:

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Aaahh...this thread attracted me like a bear to honey! I'm totally chocoholic, have to stay away from the stuff or I'll go ape**** and eat the lot! It has to be dark and a little bitter, the kind you make chocolate-chip-cookies from is delicious! Can't keep it around, have to buy it and bake the cookies at once- my husband is scaringly like me at that point. Ofcourse he doens't gain a pound...! Anyways I don't suppose we have the same bars in Norway as in other countries, except from Mars and Snickers and that stuff, so theres no point in telling you my favourite...anything dark goes, mint or soft fudge/ nougat in the middle...or sweet licorice, and even orange. Wonder if I have something somewhere...!:p :p :p

[Mirkgirl]

lol Blame it all on me Polly (as if you weren't to post about chocolate no matter what;) ) j/k this is a great thread (and no I wasn't the one who went to buy chocolate at 4am... I'm too lazy to do it lol

My fave chocolate is black, the bitter the better (*thinks for the two bars of 87% cocoa chocolate in the fridge yummmmmmm)

[Pil]

I'm really loving the smooth praline fillings...:drool:...like in 'Liason' and 'Marble'..... :thumbs:

I've had a sudden fetish for double deckers recently though...they have everything you need....milky way type stuff...crispy bits...milk choccie...it's all good people! :p

[Elrenia]

:drool: :drool: :drool:

Hmmmmmm, well I have a little something for chocolate truffles...so good it melts in the mouth...Yummmie!!! And I have a wonderful recipe to make them...if you want it gals...;)

But my ultimate favorite, is 70% dark chocolate...melted and warm with fresh fruits...yyyuuuuuuuummmmmmm!!!!! So delicious...:grin: :grin:

I love chocolate....hehehe :thumbs:

[Daisy Gamgee]

For me, chocolate has to be either Cadbury's dairy milk , or white chocolate. But I also like mars and snickers. I had a white kit kat the other day, which was yummy. But chocolate has to come out of the fridge and be nice and cold:thumbs:

[Sindarin]

I enjoy Black Forest chocolate myself. :drool:

[Catz]

ok....i admit it.....i was the sad little addict who had to go out at 4 am to buy lindt extra dark lol lol
and id do it again!!!!!
chocolate.........the darker the better....esp european dark chocolate......so smooth and complex in flavour............yeah!!!!
:catz:

[Lissuin]

I love chocolate.....it's kinda hard not to love it.....it's dark smooth texture.....the melting in your mouth.....the sweetness of it's taste....dark chocolate is the best i'll admit......but ooohhhhh........my mouth is watering!roflmao

:elfqueen:

[Adunauriel]

My absolute Fave is Reces PeanutButter Cups, straight out of the Fridge...Or, any Chocolate for the matter, always the colder the better. Snickers, Almond Joys, Chocolate Paydays, Mr. Goodbars............... It's all just too good......... ;) :)

[Bright Shadow]

yes.. peanut butter cups are the best!!! :grin: especially with a big cold glass of milk to go with :cool:

[Lintefaniel]

Have any of you tried the heavenly bliss otherwise known as Godiva? I'm sure you have being that we're all chocoholics here...But I'll settle for the pleasures of Reeses and Milky Way Midnight bars...it's ethereal!!;)

[TheRingBearer]

mmmmmmm chocolate *drools*

[Pil]

LINDT! Soooo expensive...but so lovely! I always have a bar at christmas and a bar on my birthday...i sound like charlie...as in willy wonka.... lol

I dont know why this behaviour coming from you does not surprise me !!!! lol ;)

[Polly Sandybanks]

What do you do when you're trying to stay away from chocolate and your parents have left a bowl full of little bits of chocolate in the fridge, so that that's the first thing you'll see every time you open the fridge!?!?! Gaah.. :elfeek:

[Cuiel Rilwen]

You have three options:

1. Escape to a less tempting place on earth. (like where would that be...)

2. Sit down, cross your legs,put your heals on your knees, cross your arms behind your back and grab your big toes. (If you can manage that, the chance of onknotting yourself is so little that you can assume that the danger is over.)

3. Throw all selfcontrol overboard and eat the lot.

[Mirkgirl]

YUUUMMMMMMMM I know... but it's not that expensive here..l the good thing to be in EE hehe

Polly... bowl of choc .... that's what my parents do as well... they just don't think for the consequences :o :angry: :o

[Pil]

lol i get the same thing with melon...what do they expect if they leave it at the FRONT of the fridge...but his is NOT melon thread! lol

I have to pretty much go searching for the choccie in my house! :(

[A! Elbereth]

They have Lindt choclates everywhere where I live.... delicious yummmmm

[Moraneah]

Oh my, fellow chocohalics....................I simply :drool: over Gadiva chocolates or even hershey kisses (with Almonds)...............OOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !:blush:

[Lintefaniel]

You know I feel my hips expanding with each letter written in this thread! But don't worry, I won't let on to any weight gain on my part or yours....Just don't ask if your backsides look *whispering....* fat. I am too often, to my demise, far too honest with people then they might appreciate. I will tell the truth!!!!:);):p roflmao :o

[Pil]

:o *pil runs away before the bashing begins!*

[Lintefaniel]

But only if I am asked!! ;)

[Adunauriel]

~teddy duck, knowing the trouts will fly.......~;)

[Moraneah]

You know what, honesty may be the best policy, but be prepared for the trouts to fly. I prefer to reserve judgement until I know a person. Then I let insults careen of their heads....:naughty: :fanboy: :trout: :trout:

[Adunauriel]

Well enough of the troutings..... Trout & Chocolate don't mix, and I'm so sorry I jsut mentioned them in the same sentence..:( ..... I just Love Chocolate........ There that's enough......;) :)

[Pil]

Trout covered in choccie.....ew! :trout:

[Catz]

ahhh but in NZ we have choccie fish.......which are marshmallow covered in choc........hehehe
:catz:

[Little Devil]

wow!! how cool!! ;)

[Adunauriel]

Well that sounds like a fish I wouldn't mind eating.....;)

[Togo Bleecker]

Ben and Jerry's Phish food ice cream...YUM!! :drool:

[Adunauriel]

I haven't tried that flavor.. I'm more of a Choclate Chip Cookie Dough, or Reeces Peanut Butter Cup kind of gal........;)

[Bonos-Girl]

i love phish food ice cream...i think that it's the nicest ben and jerries!!! i like one sweet whirled too!!!!!

[Polly Sandybanks]

Ah.. you're making me hungry. :mmmm:

I think I'll go make some sandwiches or something.. there's no chocolate around sadly. mecry (or maybe that's a good thing?)

[Adunauriel]

I often find not having Chocolate around, to be a good thing.... I don't get as many breakouts.....;)

[Pil]

There are exams on at our school at the moment (G.C.S.E. mocks...:o) so we can't get to the chocolate vender at lunch...we mostly but fizzy jerks...but the odd mint munchie is sorely missed....:(....lol

[Little Devil]

I love mint, kinda addicted to chewing gum at the moment. Love mint chocolate ice-cream

[Moraneah]

My favorite idea of a dessert:
One large chocolate browny with chocolate chips and walnuts, covered with two scoops of chocolate, chocolate chip ice cream, chocolate fudge syrup, whip cream and sprinkles........ :drool: :drool: :drool: :thumbs:

[Togo Bleecker]

yummm....-goes to make a glass of chocolate milk-

[Pil]

i'm on a diet...no choccie...no crisps...ice-cream...NOTHING! mecry

i MUST loose weight before i go to NZ next year...i want to be fit and ready for all the hiking etc. that my dad has lined up for us! :o :thumbs: :p

[Bonos-Girl]

pil....you're always on a diet!!!!

[Polly Sandybanks]

I'm on a diet too, but you're allowed to eat some chocolate.. like, once a week or so. :) That's nice.. :) I have some candy and chocolate once a week.. it makes it even better. :) I mean, because I can't eat it every day.
I've been on a diet for 5 weeks and I've lost 4 kg already. So it's working too. :) :whoohoo:

[Little Devil]

I was on a diet for a while, went from 8stone to 7 in 3 weeks.Very pleased. :whoohoo:
Just wondering has anybody here ever been anorexic?

[Togo Bleecker]

my cousin leaned towards taking that as a way out, but we pulled her back, as for me, i have been overweight my whole life, tried MORE than enough diets and have decided to maybe just oh what a concept love myself the way i am for awhile.

[Pil]

Anorexic? Well...i've known people who were/are anorexic...it's horrible... mecry

Bonos-girl...i am not always on a diet.....sheesh...*pil goes to weigh herself for the fourth time today* :blush: lol

Oh god i should just give up....though i lost five pounds last month...not bad...i've got a little while until i go to NZ....any weight loss is good... :)

[Elrenia]

*raises her hand* I have been anorexic when I was still dancing 10 years ago....bad thing...and it gaves me health problem that i learned to live with...so I am not anymore...I eat :) ...I still have some problems with foods sometimes but I learn with time..I have to...I hate to cook and still hardly like to feed myself but I learn and I do want to for me and my son...but heyyyy...I love chocolate...:thumbs:

So hey dieting girls *look at Pil* you better choose an equilibrate diet and once in a while eat what you really like... The diet of Polly sounds really good...Montignac diet is mostly like that...veryyyy healthy....is it the same ? and btw being always on a diet is not good for the heart... you better eat and exercise instead... :p

:grin:

[Catz]

thank you for that Elrenia......listen to her you lot!!!!!
and Pil.......you have to have some things you love in your diet......just dont go hog wild is all.......if you dont, youll end up building yourself up to a binge, which is even worse for you and wont do anything to help weight loss.
it worries me hearing about girls as young as many of you going on diets.......please remember that youre still growing!!! it is PERFECTLY natural to put on a bit of weight and then to have a growth spurt.....thats the way your body is designed to work.......if you have no fat reserves to fuel these surges you can do yourselves damage......that may not show up for years.
Elrenia is right........better to exercise, and eat plenty of healthy foods......ie: fruits and veges with some protein....sides you cant get fit if your body doesnt have its nutrients
heheheh and a lil choccie every week does no harm to anyone ;)
:catz:

[Togo Bleecker]

so i sit here wondering how to respond to this post, while watching a Janet Jackson video filled with lots of pretty skinny dancers and well hmm..i would suggest we get back to chocolate but i think i will pass i feel some depression coming so I'll stop there

[Catz]

oh believe me i know Togo.....been there done that........i am not by any manner of means, skinny....but ive come to terms with that fact.....you have to make peace with yourself......and i HATE the way our world tells us that there is only one standard of beauty.......dont you believe it!!! there are as many beauties as there are people in this world........dont let it depress you, depression changes nothing......rather let it make you mad......mad enough to say "i do not accept that i am less because im big"......keep yourself healthy and never mind the rest.
:catz:

[Polly Sandybanks]

Well said Catz and Elrenia! :hooray:
My diet.. well, I don't even really know if I should call it a diet. I guess it is, but it's more a way of life I guess. I joined the Weight Watchers and I've been a member for 6 weeks now. We go to a meeting once a week and we learn to eat right. We can still eat everything that we want to eat, just not as much and not as often. But then again, too much is never good. I realised something that has helped me. The first bite of whatever you eat, is always the best. The second bite is good too. The third is ok. After that it just gets worse and worse. A small bag of candy, for example, is nice. You can enjoy that. But if you fill yourself with lots of candy until you feel sick.. that's not very nice. It doesn't even taste good after a while, you just eat to eat.. basically.
We have learnt that you're supposed to drink at least 8 glasses of water each day. And you're allowed to eat as much fruit and vegetables as you like. If you're feeling hungry, take a glass of water and see if it passes. Sometimes you think that you're hungry, when you are, in fact, thirsty.
Also, if you eat a big, healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner, you won't be as hungry in between and that way you won't eat as much. And also start by putting lots of vegetables on your plate, half of your plate is supposed to be vegetables (or fruit), then take the other food. And start by eating vegetables, or sallad, because that way you won't eat as much food either.
And a little bit of training is always better than none. Like.. take a walk or cycle to school/work (if you can). If you're going by bus, get off one stop too early and walk the rest of the way. And take the stairs instead of the elevator.
It's just little changes.. nothing much, and it makes a huge difference.
I'm trying to lose weight mainly because I want to get healthy. I don't want to risk getting sick when I'm older, because of my weight. I don't think there's anything wrong with being a little overweight though. Think of the hobbits. :)
Just enjoy life. If you eat healthy enough and get at least a little bit of exercise, you'll be ok.
My mum once bought a fridge magnet that said:
"I'm not overweight, I'm under tall!" lol I like that.

I'd never give up my chocolate! :)

[Lintefaniel]

Boys and Girls!! Are we really talking about dieting in the chocolate thread? I mean isn't that the whole point of this thread? To eat chocolate....There is no room for DIET in this thread.....shame shame.....;):nono:

[Ilmarë]

Serious issues people... and it worries me to hear of so many of you who are younger who are dieting. What you see on tv and film.. or in magazines.. is not reality... these women have their own issues about eating... and in the main its not healthy. You have to look after you. Diets hardly ever work. All the diets i've ever been on ... i've put the weight and more back on. I've lost a lot of weight recently... without trying to... and how? I haven't given one thought to how many calories or ounces of fat were in what i was eating. I had what i wanted to eat... in moderation... and therefore didn't crave it and then binge on whatever it was. I've just pleased myself! Dieting can rule your life... and life is way too short to spend all your time worrying about how many calories or fat grams are in........say..........chocolate!!!!!!!!
And chocolate is way too nice to deny yourself!!!!!!!!!
I love Swiss milk chocloate.... and really good dark chocolate...not white choc tho.... yuk!!pfbbt Too sickly sweet for me i'm afraid.

[Pil]

I agree Il...white chocolate has never been a fav of mine...doesn't someone have it in their sig however...? lol

Dark chocolate is ok...in small quantities...cos it can get too bitter after a while.... :huh: pfbbt

MILK chocolate however is the nicest of the lot.... mmmmmm.... :p

[Togo Bleecker]

i am addicted to orange chocolates..the raspberry ones arent that bad either but now they have lime...doesnt that sound revolting???

[Lintefaniel]

I found that Terry's is making a Peppermint Chocolate (Orange shaped) this year!! Oh they are beautiful and more then enough for one person! Although, I shared my last one and it is sad to see them go so quickly...mecry

Lime chocolate? :elfeek: That sounds weird.

I LOVE milk chocolate!!! There's nothing better! Dark chocolate is ok too, at times.. but I don't like white chocolate. It's too sweet.

[Little Devil]

Love milk chocolate, dark ,ok but milk is the best, yay coming up to christmas going to make lots of chocolate stuff!!!

[Togo Bleecker]

I'm planning on what to make already, i cant wait! i love the holiday season

[Aerandir]

~Aera

[Togo Bleecker]

[Aerandir]

~Aera

edit: WRONG FORUM! GOSH!

[Bramblerose Bunce]

ok..I did something that I probably shouldn't have and that was that I read the entire thread and all your comments about..chocolate!

Absolutly love the stuff. We have loads of chocolate home (so if anyone is in the neighbourhood drop in! :)) I love most kinds..except orange chocolate..so you can have those in peace Togo ;) Togo..isn't that a restaurant in the States?

anyway... also white chocolate..use to love it, but I find it too sweet now. Dark chocolate and milk chocolate..we have some great milk chocolate here in Sweden! mmmm! :)

I love food, but instead of eating a whole lot I have some and enjoy it rather that just shuvel it in! :) I have joined the weight watchers too and I have lost about 12 pounds in six weeks, so I am doing rather well! :)

ok..back to that fab chocolate! *looks at the opened box of chocolates in the other room* Help!?!

[Togo Bleecker]

Togo's a restuarant!!! wow i didnt know that thats neat!! Anyway its okay some of my friends dont like orange chocolate either. White chocolate is one of my favorites. In face i may go back some chocolate chip cookies tonight for a choir bake sale tomorrow..warm gooey chocolate cookies...yuuuuummmm

[Little Devil]

Love cheese cake, chocolate brownies are ok, probably favourite desert is ice-cream, knickerbocker glory's!!!!!!!!!! Yum!! ;)

[Moraneah]

C H O C O L A T E spells relief........lol lol

[Lintefaniel]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh........:p

[Polly Sandybanks]

Aaaahhhh.... I'm sitting here chewing on a carrot to keep me away from all the chocolate in the fridge. I've decided not to have any candy or chocolate until the Premiere. That's only a week away.. I hope I'll make it. :)

[Lintefaniel]

I had Dark Chocolate Kit Kat this evening and I forgot how much I love Dark Chocolate....it's splendid....just beautiful.....refreshing and special.....mmmmmm :rolleyes:

[Moraneah]

I have some tiny muskateers, and snickers...........................:drool: :drool: :elfqueen:

[Lintefaniel]

I love chocolate, can you believe I decided against cheesecake for soup!!! Must have had a fever....Chocolate cheescake tooo!!

[Ilmarë]

DARK CHOCOLATE KIT KAT???? mecry mecry mecry
Why can't we get that over here????

[Lintefaniel]

Oh that is sad!!! Perhaps you could order some from the website? is it hershey's or nestle? I made fudge today!! I am so excited!! My peanut brittle and toffee turned out fair enough so perhaps the fudge will be better.....:) cross your fingers......:blush:

[Ilmarë]

:thumbs: didn't think of that Lin, my friend!! well done!:grin:

[Lintefaniel]

Anytime!! I'll look it up for you! My fudge turned out splendid and the toffee did likewise!! I am saddened that the brittle only slightly crunches, but it was my first try...;) Tomorrow: Cinnamon Rolls!!!

[Polly Sandybanks]

Ah!! You're making me drool! :drool:
I haven't had any candy or chocolate for about 2 weeks.. but tomorrow I'm going to have loads at the Cinema to make up for it. :) And to get through two 3-hour long movies (first FotR, then TTT) I'll need some chocolate I think. lol Even if the movies are great!!
Next weekend I'm going to make marzipan-balls. We do that every Christmas. Take a bit of marzipan, then a bit of nougat that you put in the middle.. then close the marzipan piece around that nougat, and finally you dip the ball in melted, dark (or milkchocolate if you prefer) chocolate. Then you put it all in the fridge. It's DELICIOUS!!!

[Ilmarë]

Thank you... I already said I love u right???... *sighs*... a friend who looks up chocolate websites for one... how marvellous!!!:grin:

[Little Devil]

Wow a website dedicated to chocolate! :p

[Bramblerose Bunce]

ooooh chocolate!! :drool: Premier tonight!!!! *practically jumping up and down*

Out in the snow for a walk over to the cinema...I should bring some chocolate! ;)

[Polly Sandybanks]

Oh my! :elfeek: Noone has posted in this since the premiere??

Time to revive it I think. We can never get too much chocolate after all, can we? ;)

[Mirkgirl]

aww time for chocolate... there should be some dark choc in the fridge *goes to hunt the chocolate down*

[Polly Sandybanks]

I don't have any dark chocolate. :(
But I may go out and buy some. :)

*makes plans*

[Lintefaniel]

I had mint choclate chip ice cream...it was cold! but very nice...
Chocolate is soooo good it's bad...I love it.

[Polly Sandybanks]

I had some chocolate yesterday. :) Yum!

I try not to eat chocolate too often, despite what I said about that we can never get too much chocolate. :) That's a good thing too, because then you enjoy it even more when you actually get it. :thumbs:

[Lintefaniel]

shhhhh, i had more ice cream....:thumbs:

[Little Devil]

I want ice-cream! Oh well, I'll just have chocolate

[Moraneah]

Moraneah has a dazed faraway look in her eyes..........................Chocolate!!!!!!:droo l: :drool:

[Daisy Gamgee]

I had some peanuts m&m's yesterday - a big bag of purple ones! yum, especially enjoyable since I've not had any choc since xmas and so it was a treat

[Lintefaniel]

Hey, doesn't a whole bag of purple mean you won a billion dollars or something? :elfeek:

[Gwaihir]

Hershey's Cookie 'n' Cream kiss chocolate makes me mad with delight!!! :grin: :drool: :grin: :drool:

[Arwen Undomiel]

i don't really have just one fave choccy bar or confectionary, but some of them just have to be snickers, peanut m&ms, drift, any white chocolate and ferrero rocher! :p i wouldn't say i'm addicted to the stuff but i sometimes get cravings for the odd bar or two! MUST CUT DOWN, MUST CUT DOWN!

[Little Devil]

Still got quite a lot of chocolate left over from xmas, and easter's coming up soon! ;)

[Moraneah]

I think I said I still had christmas fudge, and now I also have candy hearts, 3 muskateers, and Hershy's minitures. yummers:drool: :drool: :stomper:

[Thorondor of Manwe]

Ummmmmmmmmmmm...chocolate! Soooooo many kinds of chocolate. In a pinch, just about anything will do - Hersey's Kisses, Rolo's, Reese's Minature Cups. And, hmmmmmmm,
those Milky Way Darks hint of darkly brown passions to ease the cravings of the soul. But my favorite to ease my chronic addiction is Lady Godiva truffles. Expensive, yes. But, there is nothing in the known universe - or Middle-Earth for that matter - that compares to Lady Godiva truffles.

[Arwen Undomiel]

i adore white chocolate - there's just nothing like it!!! i love white chocolate buttons and milky bars!!!!

[Little Devil]

I love white chocolate better than any other, love white chocolate buttons too! ;)

[Gwaihir]

I am not crazy about chocolate, since I usually eat Japanese ones. Believe me, if Americans eat Japanese chocolate, they will find it tasteless. That's how I find it. American chocolates are soooo sweet! :grin: And huge, too (like Sarris)!

[Arwen Undomiel]

i can't say i'm surprised about american confectionary being overloaded in sugar. i can't stand overly sweet chocolate - it's just too sickening and very off-putting.

as for white choccy, i don't think much of the new 'dream' bar - it's just a white chocolate bar, like 'dairy milk' except with white choccy. i'm dying to try 'kit-kat chunky white' - i bet that'll taste delish!

[Lady Arien]

This thread just reminded that I still have a See's gift certificate in my drawer somewhere....may just have to go redeem it and enjoy 1 pound of decadence...thank goodness Illu doesn't have a sweeth tooth like me...I don't like to share!!

Oh, for all you fans of Reese's Peanut Butter cups, here's a worthwhile piece of info....they make shapes for the vairous holidays...hearts for Valentine's Day, eggs for Easter, pumpkins for Halloween and trees for Christmas....I tend to stock up on and hoard these because they're bigger than even the large peanut butter cups, and thicker too....almost 3/4 of an inch as opposed to the standard 1/4 in with minimal peanut butter....I'll pay full price for a box of six if I have too, but I clear the shelves when they go on half-price after the holiday!!

[Little Devil]

Japaneese chocolate.......hmmmmm I've never tasted it before, is it really tasteless? ;)

[Arwen Elf]

I never really thought of posting here until now. Now I have this huge craving for chocolate. Has anyone ever seen that movie (Chocolate )? It made me so hungry.:drool: I feel like, if there was a piece of the "naked" fruit of the gods on the ground right now, I would pick it up and pop it into my mouth right now.. . . WITHOUT the five second rule! Does anyone want a recipe for a French chocolate cake that I adore? I almost ate the whole thing myself. . . :grin: I'm hungry again.:( mecry Does anyone have any chocolate poetry?

[Arwen Undomiel]

i'd like to see chocolat!!! plus it's got johnny depp in, which is never a bad thing... ;)

[Arwen Elf]

Thank you for spelling it right, as I could not even though I take French!

[Gwaihir]

Ah! Now it is February, the month of chocolate!! :drool: I can't wait till Valentine day!

[Galadriel]

OMGI love chocolate. It is like my favorite thing in the whole wide world, But I hate Valentine's day. It is a very depressing holiday.

[Lintefaniel]

Doesn't have to be February or Valentines for me to want Chocolate...but it does have to be chocolate for me to want it...Got some?

[Arwen Undomiel]

OMG i ate three chocolate bars within the space of four hours the other day! i had a white kit-kat chunky (THEY ARE JUST THE BEST!!!!), a drifter and a milky bar. i've got a serious fetish for white chocolate. :drool:

[Little Devil]

I really like milky ways, I have friend who can't say milk she says, melk pronoucing it with an e, quite funny . lol

[Arwen Undomiel]

is that 'cos of her accent?

[Little Devil]

No I don't think so, she just speaks normal english, but I think it's just that one word she can't really say, oh she can't say quarrelsome either. ;) lol

[Polly Sandybanks]

Time to revive this thread I think. :) It's soon Easter and easter means chocolate to a lot of people. :) So.. who will eat a chocolate bunny?

[Arwen Undomiel]

i don't celebrate easter coz i think it's just an excuse to stuff yourself silly with chocolate without having to feel guilty. :o :o harsh, but true, in my opinion... lol lol lol

[Mirkgirl]

yum yum the chocolate thread attacks our diets again :brave:

Chocolate bunny... hmmmm I'm probably the one one who has never eaten a chocolate bunny... other chocolate creatures yes... but never a bunny :(

[Arwen Undomiel]

do they still make choccy bunnies? i thought it was all chocolate bars inside chocolate eggs...

[Mirkgirl]

Um we still have them here

And whats wrong with a holiday when you can stuff yourself with chocolate without feeling guilty? Plus the coloured eggs and hands ;)

[Bonos-Girl]

nope...they stoill make chocolate bunnies...usually covered with pink foil for some weird reason....wearing a yesllow apron as well.....

[Arwen Undomiel]

apron??? is that supposed to suggest that they're female? how sexist... lol lol

mirky, you're forgetting christmas... lol ;)

[Bonos-Girl]

they all look female too...it just wouldn't look right to have male bunnies! lol

[Arwen Undomiel]

that's so unfair... to guys! lol lol lol hmm... i guess it would feel a little awkward to buy a bunny easter egg for a guy...???

[Celebrían]

Do I love chocolate? "To ask the question is to answer it." I love it! I would say my favorite type is "dark" (it's also good for your heart-the darker the better), with "milk" a close second. As to brands, I like Dove, Girahdelli (I know I didn't spell that right), and Hershey's.

Has anyone seen the "World's largest Hershey bar"? I saw it in the store the other day. Oh my gosh! IT HUGE! :o Something to keep in mind when depressed..... ;)

[Mirkgirl]

^5 Celebrían... dark chocolate all the way!

My faves are Lindt and Cote d'or. :drool: :p

[Little Devil]

I love Lindt, Lindor, I like the adverts on tv for it, but it always makes me hungry. ;)

[Celebrían]

Oh, yeah, forgot about Lindt and Lindor...."melts in your mouth not in your hand"....... :)

[Periantari Andruil]

omg...Lindt is sooo good... so is Godiva... so is Almond Joy... so is anything with nuts hehe... (M&M's...YUMMY!) omg i LOVE chocolate...i was so surprised/happy to find this thread :thumbs: :)
and i also LOVE chocolate chip cookies...i CANNOT resist them..hehe
and also brownies are awesome...

hehe if i keep eating and not exercise i'm going to look like the fattest hobbit ;)

all right...gotta sleep... more later =)

[Celebrían]

My faves are Lindt and Cote d'or.

Cote d'or? Ive never heard of that.

[Bonos-Girl]

sounds like a wine to me.... like cote de rone (so i can't spell...whats new?!) lol

[Ruby Yavevalar]

OMG!!!!!! There was a chocolate thread all this time, and I NEVER KNEW ABOUT IT?!?!?!! :o :o :o Anyways......Obviously, I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT CHOCOLATE!!!! lol So....as to what kind, HERSHEYS!!!! Hersheys Milk chocolate, all the way!!!!! I like dark, but it's just too......I dunno...Rich...for me...I just can't stand to have more than one of those little tiny bars of dark chocolate at one time--I take them in a pattern. Dark choco, milk,dark, a couple more milk, the last few darks, the last milks!!! lolOOOOOOH, have y'all ever had those Nestle's Treasures?? :drool: I loooooove the caramel ones!!!!!!!! :drool: lol I think I'm making a mess over here!!! lol Need chocolate now--I was warned!!! But i do have a few little bars of Hersheys milk chocolate in my kitchen..... Hmmm... What does this tell you? lol

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Don't fret ruby, I never knew about it too! And yes, I looove hersheys! They rock! And ferrero roche too. Mmmm... I love dark chocolate!
Oh I read from somewhere that eating chocolate can cure minor cough. Is that true?

[Bonos-Girl]

it can...it stimulates some kinda hormone or summat which makes you better quicker....its like a happy hormone or summat like that....

i love dark chocolate too...its the best type! lol

[Ruby Yavevalar]

Chocolate is, literally, a feel-good food!!!! lol Yes, it's the hormone that makes you happy. That's why people try to eat smaller peices--so that it seems like more!! lol at least I eat them in smaller peices!!! lol hahahaha!!!!!

[Periantari Andruil]

omg Ferrero Roche makes you go up into heaven
hehehe sooo good!:drool:
dark chocolate's ok..i prefer milk though... i know some ppl who like white chocolate as well...i think that's too sweet...imo

[Mirkgirl]

Well Côte d'Or is belguim chocolate... need to say more :drool:

[Luvara]

I love almost all sorts of chocolate!!! :drool:

[Celebrían]

Originally posted by Mirkgirl

Oh, okay. If ever I run across some, I'll try it! :thumbs: And you guys are right, chocolate has a lot of health benefits. I hadn't heard of it helping coughs (although I WILL keep that in mind!), but I DO know that it can help with headaches and is heart healthy (the darker the better for your heart). My mother and I also say that we need to take our "painkillers" or our "heart medication" (a.k.a. CHOCOLATE!!!!) lol

[Mirkgirl]

yeah do that, it's worth it.... and as to cough I don't know, but a sore throat feels better after some chocolate

[Celebrían]

Sore throat, huh? I'll keep that in mind......... :)

[Frodo's Love]

*another obsessed chocolate-admirer walks in* :wave:
I really can't do without chocolate! And here I find more likeminded people! :grin:
Funny I didn't see this thread earlier...

And I have a sore throat right now.... ;)
*walks out to the kitchen to grab a bar of chocolate* :drool:

[Celebrían]

Let us know how well your "medication" works... ;)

[Frodo's Love]

Oh, it works perfectly! lol At least for the moment ;)

[Celebrían]

lol I find chocolate helps "for whatever ails you" ;)

[Little Devil]

I love cadburys mini eggs, there really nice. :drool:

[Celebrían]

My dearest roommate LOVES those. I think about her everytime I see them. Yeah, I like them, too. ;)

[Little Devil]

I had them the other day, they are really nice, but they do get a little sickly after a while, then again I find that's the case with most chocolate. ;)

[Celebrían]

'Tis true, 'tis true............... anybody a "Russell Stover" fan?

[Elfdaughter]

I LOVE milk and white chocolate - but I'm on a DIET!!!

[Arwen Undomiel]

i hate cadbury's creme eggs... bleugh!!! :( :( diet's suck, eh, elfdaughter? you can eat anything you want - but just in moderation! ;) ;) so you can still have some choccy! :hooray:

[Elfdaughter]

Yeah, I know! I do still have choccy - mut much less than I used to! Fairtrade is really nice!

[Gwaihir]

Elfdaughter, I feel very sorry for you. I can't imagine how hard it would be to be on a diet! I'll bet I won't servive a long diet! lol
I love almost any kind of chocolate! :p

[Little Devil]

I'm on a diet, which is a little difficult around Easter with everyone giving chocolate, but it's going pretty well. ;)

[Frodo's Love]

Many :cuddles: to those of you who are on a diet! And a little bit of chocolate will surely do no harm... ;)

[Little Devil]

I find the easiest way in dieting, maybe not the best or smartest, but it works for me. Instead of eating so much food, I tend to chew a lot of gum, doesn't make me hungry. ;)

[Luvara]

well, if it works, then it's good!

[Arwen Undomiel]

oh my god, little devil, gum sooo works for me, too!!! it doesn't so much suppress my hunger, but rather stops me from thinking about eating and gives my chops something other than food to knaw on. :thumbs:

[Bonos-Girl]

gum seems to make me more hungry...weird...lol

[Frodo's Love]

Yes, I have the same "problem" with gum... lol

[Celebrían]

So nobody heard of Russell Stover? :huh: This is getting a bit off topic, but I find that drinking diet drinks helps fill me up and prevent me from eating when I shouldn't. :blush:

[Bonos-Girl]

neop...haven't heard of him.

and isn't that the point of diet drinks?

[Celebrían]

Okay, Russell Stover is a brand of chocolate that we have in the U.S. (It may be available in the UK, too, but I don't konw for sure) Anyway, if ever you get the chance to try some, I would recommend it! :thumbs:

.....and just to be sure by diet drinks I mean carbonated beverages (diet coke and such; not slim-fast or anything like that. I should have been more clear......sorry! :blush: )

[Little Devil]

I don't like coke, only diet. I'm werid it's tastes better somehow. I eat way too much gum, but it's better than eating food, in some bizzare way of mine. lol ;)

[Celebrían]

Only diet? Well that means you can use those saved calories on chocolate! lol

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

How IRONIC! The chocolate thread developed into a diet thread!!! :o lol
Well, I love chocs too, but eating too much does make me feel sick. Love those really dark and bitter ones, but they are usually very expensive :( Too bad I haven't got any at home right now.

Umm... by the way, I heard that Diet coke is not good for health. So don't drink too much of it :) I don't like fizzy drinks anyway :)

[Bonos-Girl]

yep...instead of sugar they put in random chamicals and sweeteners some of whichc are carconagenic (i can' tspell...means they may be able to cause cancer).

i was never allowed to drink coke and stuff because it had caffeine in when i was younger....i prefer coke to diet coke though...diet coke tastes really kinda watery....really diluted somehow...

[Arwen Undomiel]

i much prefer regular coke to diet coke - sugar rocks!!! lol lol :hooray:

chewing gum IS supposed to make you hungrier, but the point is that when you're feeling peckish, or you just want something to knaw on, gum is an ideal substitute for food. yes, it may increase your hunger, but it prolongs the length of time between meals and snacks. :thumbs:

[Bonos-Girl]

but...if it increases your hunger surely it doesn't prolong the time cos you want food and therefore you eat earlier.....

[Luvara]

real coke is much tastier than diet coke! :)

[Mirkgirl]

ugh I prefer diet one... the other one's just too... sweet

[Luvara]

lol well it's pretty much sugar in it! ;)

[Arwen Undomiel]

Originally posted by Bonos-Girl

well, noooo, coz you're chewing on gum to stop you from chewing on food i.e. it's a substitute. it's not going to make you feel full, but it can stop you from thinking about eating, coz you're already knawing on something... well, at least it does for me, and i'm not gonna complain about it! lol lol lol

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Erm... is this still a chocolate thread? :huh:

[Frodo's Love]

Hmmm, I just ate some dark chocolate with a delicious mint-filling (something like "After Eight"). Yummy!!!! :drool:

[Polly Sandybanks]

The best thing to do when you're hungry (or you think you're hungry) but it's not "time" to eat yet, is to drink water. Sometimes the "hunger" isn't hunger, but thirst, it only shows as hunger. If that made sence. ;) I've noticed that this helps though. You should drink at least 8 glasses (ca 2 litres) of water every day.

Fruit is also very good. Thought not pinapple, as that has lots of sugar in it. :)

Chocolate.. ah.. I love all sorts of chocolate! Except stuff with raisins or alcohol in it. I really like "Milka", I also like "Lindt" and "Marabou". :) yum!! :drool:

[Frodo's Love]

by Polly Sandybanks
I really like "Milka", I also like "Lindt" and "Marabou". yum!!

:drool: Yummmm... Marabou is delicious, but so very expensive over here... Is there a difference between Sweden and Germany in the prices? (Marabou is Swedish, isn't it?) I really hope that you are not too shocked :o when you want to buy Marabou in Leipzig... ;)

:drool: Milka :drool:

[YayBoromir!]

My fave chocolate is Galaxy... just melts in the mouth... :drool: So much nicer than Dairy Milk...
My fave chocolate is milk chocolate, but I also like white. I'm not too fond of dark as it is a bit too rich for me. I also like mint chocolate, but not orange chocolate. :grin: Hehe. Now you know more important facts about me lol

YB!:cool:

[Arwen Undomiel]

i've never been keen on just eating chocolate pieces such as galaxy, or dairy milk; i always like my chocolate to have something in the centre, like nuts, biscuit, or caramel, so i'd much rather prefer galaxy swirls to galaxy. :drool: :drool:

i love mint chocolate, yayb!!! mint matchsticks and after eight are the best!!! i like orange chocolate, but it's not what i would usually buy - terry's chocolate orange is lovely. :grin: :grin:

[YayBoromir!]

I don't like toffee or caramel :blush: Mint Aero is veeeery nice, but I don't like the mint "creme" chocolates, I prefer solid mint tasting er... stuff. :p When it comes to chocolate I am very fussy lol

[Little Devil]

I love mint chocolate, but I don't like Terry's chocolate orange, makes me feel sick, I guess the small little ones are ok, but not a big fan of chocolate orange. ;)

[Mirkgirl]

I don't like toffee or caramel ones either... I don't like toffee and caramel for that matter

btw my father came back with a black chocolate with almonds for me :drool: Doesn't he know me lol

[YayBoromir!]

That's unusual, isn't it Mirkgirl, that we both don't like toffee or caramel! Most people do! lol The only thing I can stand with toffee in is Mars bars, though they aren't my fave chocs.
I don't mind nuts in chocolates, though my friend wouldn't like them, she's allergic! :p

[Mirkgirl]

um I love Mars, forgot about it... but that's the only caramel/toffee thingy I like... somehow they make it taste good in it

I love both nuts and chocolate, even tho I prefer them separate...

[YayBoromir!]

Yeah, somehow I can't really taste the toffee/caramel in Mars, there's too much of that soft and fluffy filling and more chocolate that it reduces the taste of the toffee. My friend made me eat a Rolo at school as a dare and it was disgusting pfbbt lol

[Pil]

Oh my! U dont like toffee?! :o

I suppose i prefer plain chocolate to chocolate with stuff in it. I'm not a fan of wafer...........pfbbt

[Luvara]

Frodo's Love- I think Marabou is Swedish, but I don't know... I'ts not so expensive in Sweden!! :thumbs:

Mars bars are just soo gr8!!! :grin: And Snickers!!! *licks around her mouth*

[Mirkgirl]

Snickers are great for energy... and tasty at the same time... but I prefer the taste of Mars myself

[Luvara]

mhm! Mars are great!!! :thumbs:

[YayBoromir!]

Mars are quite tasty. I don't like Snickers though. Most of the chocolate is just plain, ordinary chocolate, e.g. Galaxy for me, but I do have a soft spot for Maltesers... during TTT I ate absolutely loads I was hooked!! lol

[Arwen Undomiel]

i hate mars... don't like marzipan! :( i lurrrrrve snickers, though... all that nutty goodness... lol lol :naughty:
