          Tuna and dark chocolate is good.

          Are you usually on the wrong side of the road when approaching it?

          To be honest, I know Thorntons is a big name in chocolate so they must be doing something right (marketing?), but I find their chocolate average in flavour. Look in the pound shops for their truffles at this time of year, or there's always Aldi's various dark chocs that are divine for pence.

            :yikes::yikes::yikes:

            I must admit that Lidl do a dark chocolate that is stuffed full of hazelnuts which is rather agreeable.

              Agree, I'm not a fan of Thorntons either.

                  I also don't get the Thornton's hype. They manage to make chocolate almost tasteless. I do like Anthon Berg though.

                  If you ever want any posted up to you just let me know as they sell them in the Eurotunnel shop all year round and I'm over at least once a month

                    That is very very kind of you but best to keep them as an Xmas treat I think. :)

                    Incidentally, does anyone here actually like Ferrero Rocher? I don't.
