Al.:)

[Tawi2]

I dont eat much chocolate,dont go a bundle on it to be honest,but I have to admit I really like the few times I have visited one of the Belgian chocolate factories,the smell as you walk in is incredible,it really makes a person drool :icon_lol:

Al.:)

Sorry to disappoint you Al......

There is some stuff in "Lidl" with a choice of 65%, 70% or 75 real cocoa.......

Real dark chocolate, that sends your head in a spin and assaults your tastebuds with unbridled violence......:omg:

Lami kayou.....:D

I agree - Belgian chocolate is beautiful - especially Cote d'Or!

Almost as good as their beers - that are - of course - world class!!!

Al.:)

P.S. And their chips!!

[Pepe n Pilar]

I seldom eat chocolates but when i do i prefer Ferrero Rocher!...:xxgrinning--00xx3: and dark choccy as well:xxgrinning--00xx3:.

[Sophie]

Ferrero rochers are - for me - a great disappointment compared to the Belgian rochers that are almost like a meal!! (Once again - Cote d'Or.)

Al.:)

[Tawi2]

Whats your favourite chocolate in Pinas Al?Everyone there loves Hershes Kisses and Toblerones :icon_lol:

[Pepe n Pilar]

Do you know chocnut Tawi2?....
For me that is the best local chocolate:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Sophie]

and cadbury too, lol

[aromulus]

Heathens....:doh

[Pepe n Pilar]

Al.:)

Coated choccy and bite sizes are preferrable. I would go for any chocolate except for the ffg: with caramel, soooooo sweet choccy, and with whole nuts.:D

[Alan]

Whats your favourite chocolate in Pinas Al?Everyone there loves Hershes Kisses and Toblerones :icon_lol:

Chocolate made in the Philippines is, in my opinion, nothing like good chocolate. In fact, it is bloody awful!! (Sorry everyone from the Phils. As I said - just MY opinion.)

On the rare occasions that I can afford choccy here, I stick with Toblerone and Cadbury's.

Al.:)

[charlwill]

What's the best choccy in the world??

Aye, LINDT is superb. It's really yummy.

That's true. I couldn't agree for more. I sent loads of chocolate back home. from Cadbury to Lidl's brand. But the last time I spoke to my sister in preparation of sending balikbayan box to them. My sister said don't send us Cadbury but send us the LIDL choccy cause it's more delicious compared to Cadburys. Lol, I am happy cause what they asked is alot cheaper.

Yes, I seldom eat choccy but really like Ferrero Rocher.


Do you know chocnut Tawi2?....
For me that is the best local chocolate:xxgrinning--00xx3:
Aye, I'm missing our own Phils. brands of choccy, Chocnut, Cloud9 and Serg's.

[Pepe n Pilar]

Godiva for me!..

[Carolyn]

:Hellooo:I love all kinds of chocolate, the sweeter the better:cwm38:

[Northerner]

it is just me or is hersheys chocolate the worse i have tasted?

No, me too. Hersheys is a poor excuse for chocolate imo.. It's like cooking chocolate that didn't quite make the grade.

Galaxy! Now that is a chocolate!! Granted, it's a bit Girlie, but damn it's good.. :D

[adam&chryss]

I love M&M's and sneakers and kitkat and cadbury and butterfinger and toblerone and thorntons and most specially chocnut :icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

I guess I like most of the chocolates except dark chocolate.. kinda bitter kasi :NoNo:

[Arthur Little]

What's the best choccy in the world??

Al.:)

For ME [being a 'fruit:lol2:& nut:icon_lol:(case)] it has to be Cadbury's! But it's too bl:censored:y expensive to buy in the Phils ... I guess because it's imported there!

[Alan]

Does anybody remember 'Caramac?'

I used to love that

Al.:)

[Arthur Little]

Does anybody remember 'Caramac?'

I used to love that

Al.:)

Me too ... but I'd find it just a bit "sickly" :D now!

[Tawi2]

I remember Caramac,you can still buy them £2.25 for 5 bars,they used to melt on the tongue,golden chocolate.:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Alan]

Me too ... but I'd find it just a bit "sickly" :D now!

Do they still make it Arthur?

Tawi - What a treasure of a website!!!!

AND - they deliver overseas!!

Now comes the sad bit :bigcry: - I have no credit cards - my debit card (Nationwide) has expired and they will not send new cards to Asia.

I have a bank account and a PayPal account - but, of course, no good for this site.

Anybody coming over soon - bring me some Caramac - oh, and ANGLO BUBBLY!!!!! - I shall pay you over here.

Al.:)

I'm in Cebu in October/November. But those Caramacs are really expensive nowadays... £5.00 for one tiny bar:D:D:D Kidding...

Let me know.. I am now the Caramac kid. Like the Milky Bar kid but with darker hair:D

[Arthur Little]

Do they still make it Arthur?

Al.:)

:Erm: Not sure, Al! I do know that my son-in-law is partial to what are known as 'Gold Bars' ... which are basically shortcake biscuits covered with the same caramel-coloured coating that Caramac was made of. They're oblong in shape ... about the size of a Jacob's Club ... and usually sold in packs of 9.

Everyone to his/her own taste. But as far as I'm concerned nowadays ... yeuch! :vomit-smiley-011:

[monkeyface]

I love Lindt too but I don't think I'll ever get tired of Snickers. Marathon was what you called it then right?! :BouncyHappy:

Al.:)

Ah ... hadn't noticed Tawi's post. :NoNo: And I agree with your sentiment in response. Except I'll give "Dracula's fangs" a miss ... and probably the other retrosweets too ... and just opt for the bon-bons instead! :toung:

[Arthur Little]

...I don't think I'll ever get tired of Snickers. Marathon was what you called it then right?! :BouncyHappy:

Correct ... Marathon it WAS! :xxgrinning--00xx3: And, if you go even further back [circa 1960s] to the days before they added the peanuts, I think it was called 'Picnic'.

[Sconnie]

Picnic was a different bar Arthur

Galaxy! Now that is a chocolate!! Granted, it's a bit Girlie, but damn it's good.. :D

Is Galaxy 'a bit girlie?' I've not heard that before.

I know that 'Yorkie' bars were for MEN!!

Al.:)

[somebody]

i like smarties........

Which Colour:Erm:

[Tawi2]

Surprised no ones mentioned Body-chocolate from Ann Summers :Erm:

http://www.annsummers.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/WCDSAdvancedSearchView?storeId=10001&catalogId=40151&langId=-1

[somebody]

"Cadbbburrrrys" I wondered if it was a different brand just copying the orginal then when i saw for myself in the duty free and the kiddies all pointing towards it and saw it was the real thing.
But then the wifes family and friends got confused when i said i was from "laan dan" while they thought I was from "Lonnn don":D

Have tried a bit of hershys, but i noticed most of the Kiddies in our family prefer Cadbburrrrys if they got the choice.

Me I prefer something with a tad more coco powder init. Never get the chance to try chocolates often in phill, too full up after the 19th meal of the day:D

[Northerner]

Galaxy Ripple, it's about as Girlie as can be.. But again, very good:D

Another Girlie chocolate is the Kinder Bueno:xxgrinning--00xx3: And again, a fine example of sugary bliss:D:D:D

As for the Yorkie bar.. pfr.. Not been impressed with those since I grew out of playing with my ol Yorkie truck. It's okay, but it's no Galaxy!

[Tawi2]

I agree Alan. I love Kit Kats but the ones in Phil taste terrible!
Even the Cadburys tastes different.
I took lots of Cadburys on my last visit for my mother in law and she loved it.
