Your favourite confectionery

[Holiday Planner]

It's chocolate rather than sweets for me any day.
These days I would choose CDM (Cadbury's Dairy Milk) as I prefer to buy Fair Trade - and for that reason, I won't buy Kitkat (or any other Nestle product), though I do like them.
My absolute favourite, though, is Lindt Lindor. mmmm

Hi Graham,

Chin up lad - just think soon this 'festive' season will be over and you'll be watching all the ferrets etc wurzling about in amongst the primroses and early flowers! Baby ferrets romping around, sniffing the breeze for gently wafting odours of scrumpy brewing!

The evenings will get longer and even the sun ( ) will come out to play - so, chin up lad! (Or else it'll be boots and kippers - you have been warned).

I was reading this thread yesterday and what a lot of memories it brought back - Fry's chocolate peppermint cream bar - loved it - and the fruit one too. Then someone mentioned Tiffin - really liked that. Didn't like Pontefract cakes or anything liquorice. Used to like Spangles - particularly the Old English ones in the black packet!

I think my favourite at the moment is Lindt Lindor chocolates. That creamy, chocolate, oozing middle - wonderful! Very addictive. I don't like chocolates with a cream centre - so not keen on Milk Tray. I do have a very ancient, empty Milk Tray box, still purple which was given by my father to my mother on their first date - must have been around 1937 or so! My mother kept Christmas cake decorations in it and I still have it, rather tatty looking but I could never part with it!

One of my favourites is Topic

When we were in America we discovered white chocolate M&M's & Hershey's Cookies'n'Cream bars, we brought some home with us & thankfully they've all gone now

[Silver_Shiney]

Having heard so much about Hershey bars, I was anxious to try one the first time I went Stateside. I thought it was horrible...

Does anyone remember little tubes of Horlicks sweets? Or Dextrosol glucose tablets? Oddfellows (peculiarly Scottish and, well, just peculiar).

Yup and the little roundish Ovaltine sweets in tubes

I was telling someone about this thread - and we chatted about 'sweets' long since discontinued. From nowhere (or so it seemed) there appeared a 'joke' ....
"what's got a hazelnut in every bite" - and the answer was both naughty and hilarious!

At the end of the day, nothing tastes like CDM - absolutely nothing.

I, like most people on here, love chocolate - prefer dark chocolate, don't like white too sweet, and like someone else has mentioned I have been known to eat cooking chocolate if nothing eels is available. Has anyone heard of the "Chocolate Club"? They have shops all over but you can become a member (free of charge) and each month for approx. £17.00 instead of £35.00 they send you a large box of mixed chocs - different flavours, some alcoholic some not, you have to grade them between 1-10 and send your answers back to them. They then put this into a raffle and you could in a prize. We did belong for a while but had to put a stop to it. The chocs are fab but our figures weren't!!!

On my first ship we traded between the USA and Germany continually and Hershey bars were all we could get from the ship's bond. Rotted my teeth they were so full of sugar.

Dextrosol can have an extreme laxative effect if you take too many of them. The Horlicks tablets were quite acceptable if I was hungry.

All this talk of sweets has prompted me to make some choc brownies tomorrow.

[Silver_Shiney]

I trust you'll be making enough for us all, Frank!

[Frank Manning]

I trust you'll be making enough for us all, Frank!

Love to Alan... but our oven isn't big enough. I'll compromise and tell you what this batch tastes like.

Fair enough, boss!

Reading this thread again, I think I had better go and make some "Rocky Road" before all the ingredients get eaten!!

Perhaps you'll make enough for all of us, seeing as Frank isn't able to??

[Dancing Queen]

I wish you lot would stop talking about 'all things nice' some of us are trying to lose weight before going off on their 'jollies'

Lettuce leaf anyone ????

[oldbluefox]

You won't be saying that in a few week's time when the rest of us are land-locked!!! That's the price you pay for going on a cruise.

DQ, Chocolate coated.??

[Frank Manning]

I am obviously missing something here. Chocolate coated lettuce leaves for DQ, and chocolate buttons for some mysterious use for Suespud.

[Silver_Shiney]

Best not go there, Frank....

[oldbluefox]

Don't ask, Frank................. (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

[quote="Onelife"]Hi OBF,

Other than my wife no other woman has had the pleasure of laying hands on Onelife’s well toned body and no amount of life’s little pleasures is going to change that.

Mob, you’re right about it being a girlie thing... but please don’t tell “DarkestKnightmare” I’ve said that.

Hi Mob,

It’s the one where OBF is considering taking a Turkish bath...I certainly hope he gets the chance as I’d love to hear him squeak, squeak as loud as me!!
