That's how I tried them too lol The dark ones are ok too. Not seen those mixed boxes around now we are passed xmas so im not sure if those were a novelty thing. Hope not!!!
I usually just get a load from Thorntons or somewhere before I go.
What are the chocolates like in dam? Im sure they have some nice stuff there.
I recently developed a taste for peanut butter, so naturally I like these
I also loved the peanut butter KitKat they had but that sad to say was only for a short time.
Good shout on the reeses cups ! i want to try the giant ones M4M posted a while back ! so which of our friends over the water are gonna bring some reeses cups over on 420 for me please ? i can swap for Irn Bru or anything else you may fancy
OK, hold on a minute.
I watched a BBC docu a month ago about US milk. We all know chocolate is made from cows milk or at least an ingredient.
Authentic European chocolate is pure and fine, so divulge.
However, US chocolate may contain milk from US cows that has been enhanced to produce bigger udder's and more milk. Not only that, the US do not filter their milk which is a mandatory requirement in Europe. US cows milk may/and/or contain natural puss from an animal, but European milk it is filtered off against this crap, btw. Further still, all milk based products exported from the US to the UK is alreday banned anyway based on this fact.
Back to Euro chocolate I guess, always a winner anyway, just like beer.

Nice one! Thought I was the only one here in the UK who saw it, but salute to you, I'm well put off by US chocolate now, for ever more and good. Euro chocolate all the way now. (beer was always that way anyway so it's all insouciant anyway)

yeah my sister saw that & told me about it, 1word, nasty. another thing is that in the US milk from cloned cows/goats is used in choco, thats still thankfully illegal in the EU, iv'e eaten american choco a few time & imho its not anywhere near as good as the quality of belgian or swiss choco, chucking in a bit of caramel/nuts/nougat e.t.c may make it taste nice but the quality of the chocolate is still sh**e

Me too man. It's to do with growth hormones used that increases puss and blood in the milk, this isnt filtered for some reason and that gets through into the Chocolate. Such growth hormones are banned in the UK.
