I have just discovered that Bourneville do bags of large dark chocolate buttons, I have 8 and suck them slowly so they last, a bag will last a week or 2 as I don't have them every night

Most of us on this thread can’t do that, it’s all or nothing but if you’re going to eat dark chocolate, stay away from Bournville, it’s low in cocoa solids and high in sugar and palm oil.
I can eat 100% cocoa chocolate, I used to spit it out it was so bitter so now I don't have any. Six would lead to finishing a large bag off.

I find some 85% Lindt bars can be more bitter than others - weird! I've occasionally double checked the pack in case I've accidentally ended up with the 90% stuff instead.
I can usually stick to one square at a time usually after my meal, but in times of severe stress (AKA dire need) I'll polish off half or very rarely a whole bar. But dark choc used to be one of my migraine food triggers so I tend to treat it with very great respect now.
