Don't mention tooth fillings!They are so so tiny now, hardly enough to make a tooth filling
if I had not have been in the land of no wifi most of the time, I would have told you about the walnut whip, without the need to resort to internet searching. those of us of a certain age will remeber them so well. those of us of a certain age who loved the coffee ones as their very favourite treat ever will know that there was a thick base with a walnut in the deep chocolate, a fondant coffee cream in the middle and a walnut half on the top of the thick swirl cone of chocolate. Also all the chocolate cone shapes were individually piped out, so no two were identical shapes. Unlike the modern day ones that are all moulded in a machine. They can no longer put the walnut in the base because the way they are manufactured means that they are in a cup mould, and so upside down, so the base at that stage is the top that they pit on after the fondant cream goes in, so would sink.Cheers but beat you to it!
The answer was yes and no!

Now would it be possible for me to have a short break in 010? I have been drooling on the keyboard as I type, and could do with a rest in the spa with a nice cup of creamy coffee in order to recover from the nostalgic craving for a ruddy coffee walnut whip.
Not allowed in? Ah well, another glass of Merlot out here will have to suffice then.
@satindoll and @noblehead and anyone else who takes on a rescue dog. The dogs are often not the prettiest or best behaved, but they only want kindness.
And waking up without the need for an alarm.
What bliss.
I have no desire to wish my life away, but one of the things I will enjoy most about retirement will be attaching the alarm clock to a helium balloon, and sending it off into the upper atmosphere.
Only 20 more years til I get to do that. And counting...
Yup, have to say it is pretty good to ditch the clock. Especially on cold dark mornings.
You had a good hol then?

Don't do it!You've done it now!
I'm going to have to buy a walnut whip first thing in the morning and slowy take it apart with my teeth and tongue and should it spike my sugars ... well be it on your head!
Yikes that was close!Don't do it!
The modern ones are nowhere near as good as the original ones. Absolute garbage!
Yikes that was close!
I was pondering getting in the car and going get one now.
you saved us both in the nick of time.
You're doing it again!!!!!Good! But if I had a time machine I would travel back to early 1960s and buy a crate of them to share, occasionally, with those of us who can manage a bit of a carb fest.
Alas, I would probably scoff the lot in one go. Just to save you all from a nasty carb spike, you understand. I would make that sacrifice. Especially if they were the coffee flavoured ones.
Smarties and Cadburys Chocolate Buttons. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
