Title: The Chocolate and Lollies Thread
Post by: Yertle the Turtle on December 02, 2017, 06:00:57 pm
I can't believe that there isn't a thread about chocolate and lollies. Well, there is now.
I like chocolate over lollies personally, Old Gold 80% is the best, but Lindt is up there with the best. In the lollies category, I cannot go past licorice: I absolutely love it! To get the best of both worlds, you have chocolate bullets!!!!!

On the topic of licorice bullets- I prefer the white chocolate bullets with raspberry licorice!

Also underrated but fab: pineapples, raspberrries and strawberries & cream lollies :)
Highly recommend: Milk lollies from Daiso- Can't get enough of them haha! ;D

Love Frey’s 85% dark chocolate. Can’t beat Swiss chocolate. ;D

Don’t mind Cadbury’s dairy milk chocolate though, of course.

Also love a good Harrington’s chocolate mint cream thin after dinner sometimes. :P

I make it my business to try new chocolates, and occasionally lollies, so I feel like this thread and I will get along just fine.

I recently tried a twist on an old favourite - the Milky Bar. With - baked cookies. Personally I wish the cookies weren't baked so they were a little softer and melted into my mouth a bit more. The person who sits at the desk next to me in the office agreed.

Oh please. Snickers is the superior chocolate :P
Also a pack of Freddo Frogs was on special at my local iga this afternoon. Freddo frogs are great ;D

And what's meant to be wrong with being a little kid sometimes? Freddo Frogs are awesome. But tbh, Caramello Koalas are the best!

Absolutely. Koalas are amazing :)

I also have a soft spot for curly wurlys. I'm not sure whether they're still popular today.

Dark > milk > white chocolate.
Chocolate > lollies

Funnily enough from my recollection from a trip to the Cadbury factory: best selling Cadbury chocolate is Cherry Ripe and second is Crunchie.

So true. Incidentally, I love all the three types of chocolate... Hard to choose which is best

The rainbow ones are 100x better. Wouldn't touch the original ones again. :P

Also they dissolve really quickly in soft drink. Discovered this with my old best friend one day, quite a few years ago when we managed to smuggle 2L bottles of coke and $20 worth of lollies into the movies 😂

The licorice is Danish. There is an awesome Danish shop in Croydon Main Street, and they sell 1kg packets of triple salt licorice, and it is awesome!!!

Wizz Fizz used to be pretty cool but its messy and difficult to eat. And it feels/seems like an excuse for the manufacturer to just put pure sugar into a bag and pass it off as confectionary (along with other stuff)
