Rolexes and Chocolates

One of the best ways to get through the current crisis is with some nice chocolates. Some of my comforting favs are Lindt, Leonidas, Monty Bojangles, Snickers and Kinder. What are yours?

You can’t beat a chunky Kit Kat, I’m just about to head to the local shop and panic buy some.

The wife and I buy boxes and boxes of Kinder surprise, Kinder bueno, and Toblerone whenever we travel. We still have a box of Freia from when we were in Norway, Smarties from Canadia, and we just got back from Mexico with a fresh resupply.

So jealous of our european colleagues who get such things as kit kat chunky (the peanut butter one is fantastic) and real cadbury chocolate (not the american hershey licensed "cadbury" knock off products). I have a partner who is in London about twice a year and we have a standing deal that he brings back at least 10 dairy milk bars each trip...

Stay safe well chocofied my friends!

I eat low carb, so no standard chocolates for me anymore. But I do enjoy some homemade hot chocolate with zero carb sweetener.

Actually those Leonidas are all sugar free as I have to watch my blood sugar, they make excellent pralines and can be ordered on Amazon. The others I eat in moderation.

I ate a whole toblerone bar in 2 minutes last week. My stomach is still recovering. But it was worth it

I love MMs but they are too moorish, I can't stop eating them easily, so I tend to go for bars which you can break a piece or two off and take into another room with a cup of tea.

The KitKat Chunky is awesome, and we do get a huge assortment of good chocolate products, but you guys are lucky on all other different types of sweets you can get.
