Hi, my name’s Mel and I’m a chocoholic.

Many of us know and love the Lindt 99% or even the 100% Hotel Chocolat loveliness, but it’s expensive and not always easy to get hold of, for me at least. So in need of a chocklit fix this evening, and without anything chocolatey in the gaff, I tried nibbling on...

Cacao nibs.

I’m in love. All the flavour of the really strong stuff, with a lovely crunch, and only 3% carb :smug:

Green and black chocolate any flavour :joyful:
Lindor well anything they do. :joyful::joyful::joyful::joyful::joyful:

I have no idea how many carbs are in any of the above but love them, however all of the above in moderation, so a bar of Lindor would last at least a week :)

In fact I will try almost any chocolate so long as it has no nuts in it :D

@Knikki . Good evening my friend. Yet again I find myself having to agree with you.
Nuts in chocolate???????? NO NO NO.
Thoughts on ....... Twirls....
As a T1 I never eat chocolate ;) but if I did then a Twirl would probably float my boat.:)

Used to be lovely but have become what I can only describe as 'claggy' after Kraft got their hands on it. Cadbury's product range is awful these days. Aside from the occasional bit of Galaxy, 85%+ is what I go for these days for pure chocolate. Totally agree on the nuts - though I wouldn't have those alone or in anything! :***:

I am intolerant of milk protein, so the darker the chockey the better. Soy milk is the staple in our household.
No soy chocolate that I know of !!??

I’ve never really liked milk chocolate anyway, even as a kid my favourite was Cadbury’s Bourneville! But even that is too sickly sweet for me now.

I use almond milk for tea, and soya cream for cooking when I can’t get the goat stuff.
