Chocolate?????????

Xiney

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
I'll eat anything, and it goes in phases. If I had to pick a favourite out of what's available in newsagents etc I'd have to say dark kit kat or a double decker.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?

Too often At least 3 or 4 times a week.


3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?

Oh yes. In fact most of the time I eat dark chocolate. I buy the orange and almond pack of 5 small bars from Aldi.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

To be honest, when I'm trying to care the 135 calorie little bars of dark chocolate from aldi do the trick. Sometimes I don't care and I'll go for a more normal bar that comes in around 230 like a twix or kitkat. I have to say I remain aware of snickers etc because they have peanuts and are that much higher and so would actually very rarely eat them despite the fact that I'm not really doing myself that much of a favour just by eating 30 calories less. Psychological screwiness.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
Once a month, if even.

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Yes, Green & Blacks 70% is lovely.
4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
Definitely not! If i'm going to indulge I'm going to go the whole hog!

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Flakes!

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
About 3 times a day. I know, I know..

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
No.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
I would just eat the fuller fat versions anyway. But I do think more lower fat chocolate would be a hit with people.

serenacat

) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
green and blacks

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
every day

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)? yes 70%, 85% lindt and green and black


4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

i wouldnt eat them anyway! chocolate is a treat!

Catari Jaguar

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?

Swiss or Belgian chocolate. Cadbury is worst. It's too diluted with milk and sugar. I love Daim too

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
Couple of times a week

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?

Nyom! Green & Blacks 70 - 85% or organic NSA dark mint choc

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

Not low fat - I want low sugar. Or if they'd put sweeteners in instead of sugar.

Truley

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?

I like Cadburys chocolate best. Also love Toffee Crisp and Aeros. Wouldn't say no to a box of Lindor for xmas.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?

Nearly every day. Though my interest has waned in recent years. My mother always used to say that when I'm older my taste for sweet things wont be so strong and I think she was right!

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?

Not really no. I'll just about tolerate bournville and I don't think that even counts. I'm not mad on chocolate ice cream or very rich chocolate mousse or dessert for the same reason. Even if foodies will argue it's the only 'real' chocolate.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

Don't really care. A low sugar version maybe, as I would be more concerned about sugar rather than fat intake.

Hope this helps!

Kinder Bueno


2) How often do you eat chocolate?
I'm really more of a savoury person so not that often.
Once or twice a month.


3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?

That 70% stuff green and blacks?
A friend of mine gets the odd bar and I'd have a bit of it.


4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

Meh...If I'm going to eat it...I don't want any half assed versions!
Gimme the real deal!

trixie_belle12

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
milka, crunchie, lindt, milky way, frys chocolate cream, milkybar, there ain't many i don't like tbh


2) How often do you eat chocolate? at least once a day


3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)? Yes, really love the lindt chocolate of any variety


4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
it would be nice but usually reducing fat in things like this means reducing flavour so i'd rather not compromise that :rolleyes:

bigtuna

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
green and black any :)galaxy nut, dairy milk plain, wispa, lion bar, crunchie

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
once a week if even

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
green and black with lovely red wine

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
more options of chocolate are always good!

allandanyways

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Milkybars (the six piece ones) or mini Milky Ways. Or half melted mini mars bars. And those white chocolate Lindt truffle thingys. NOM.

2) How often do you eat chocolate? Out of the 7 days in a week... probably 5.

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)? No, absolutely cannot stand it.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
I wish there were more lower fat versions of white chocolate because it's so so so bad for you but I really enjoy it. I don't mind the mini bars because they are wee bites of happiness.

Posy

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Cadbury's Crunchie would probably win out.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
Every 2-4 weeks or so; sometimes more, sometimes less.

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Yuck, no. I don't like white or dark. Only milk chocolate.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
I don't eat chocolate bars very often so, no, I really wouldn't care that much.

pearliefan

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Dairy Milk, plain.
Woah, actually I completely forgot about Toblerone. It's a tie between those two.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
Depends... generally 1-2 times a week.

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Yes!! Lindt, above 70%. I like the 80% one.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
Em.. I guess. Not too bothered really.

FouxDaFaFa

1) Favourite is the Marabou roll of chocolates. You don't see them in most shops but they're lovely. Also love anything Cadbury's. And Galaxy! haha.

2)Every day! In my defence I don't drink fizzy drinks or eat sweets or crisps usually, it's just chocolate that i go for.

3)I like dark in small doses, probably wouldn't buy it as a first choice but if someone gave me a bit of Bourneville I'd be happy.

4)I've never thought about it but as others have mentioned I'd be more worried about the sugar content. I don't want Diabetes!

beks101

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
That's sort of like asking an alcoholic what their favourite drink is. It doesn't matter as long as it's chocolate. Except Turkish Delight. Vile stuff.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
I never get past more than two days without it, although I'm chronically avoiding it like the plague. These days I won't buy it, but if I see you with some, I'll eat yours. All of it.

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
I know I should but no, no I don't. Too bitter.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
If I want to eat low fat, I'll eat a salad. Chocolate is as about being naughty to me as it is about the taste. Call me crazy.

Are you doing Food Science? Looking at the answers Dark Chocolate seems less accessable to a lot of people - maybe a more accessable dark chocolate (not Bournville!). Craft chololate is a good niche but there are already a few decent ones already (Chez Emily/Aine to name two). Unusual flavours are everywhere now. Good luck.

Hey. Nothing as skilled as Food Science I'm afraid. I'm doing a night course in Marketing having had done nothing related to it as my undergraduate many years ago.

Trying to keep it mainstream enough. Green & Black sounds like a good line but you don't see it in many convenience stores. I had planned on focusing on some line of dark chocolate due to it's health benefits but it seems many women find it too bitter to buy it often..

I was also thinking of doing something low fat/sugar version but the vast majority of ladies don't seem to care, they see it as a guilty pleasure and are ok living with the guilt. haha

Now I'm thinking of just adding a new flavour to an existing well established bar. (A bit like what had to be done on the Apprentice Ireland last year)

THANKS A MILLION TO EVERYONE WHO HAS CONTRIBUTED SO FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

LeahK

What is your favourite chocolate bar?
It changes also, so many to choose from! I would say a Flake, Twirl or Galaxy Caramel..I love white chocolate too! ooohhh and I love ones with nuts and stuff in them..Minstrels..I love them too.:D

How often do you eat chocolate?
I could easily eat it every day but try to only have it once or twice a week!

Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Yep its nice but not half as nice as milk chocolate

Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
Yeah I do alright...although it would probably turn out that the sweetener that they used instead of sugar causes cancer or gives you scales & warts or something.:o

Kooli

1) Crunchie or Kinder Bueno
2) Once or twice a week
3) NOOOOOO
4) Don't care.

fussyonion

My favourite chocolate is probably Cadbury Caramello but Galaxy Ripple is a close second.
I don't eat chocolate every day, because I don't have a really sweet tooth, so I probably have it every second day and I just a few squares.
I'm not a really big dark chocolate fan, most is too bitter, but Cadbury Bournville is nice.
As for low fat chocolate, the only one I would even consider buying is Flyte, which is like a light version of a Milky Way or Mars Bar.
I dont' really care about low fat chocolate; if you're gonna have chocolate, at least make sure it's one you actually like!
Why suffer?

Malari

It's almost a cliche having such a fast moving thread on chocolate in the Ladies Lounge

What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Don't really have one. I like After Eights but have a feeling that's more about the mint!

How often do you eat chocolate?
Not very. I saw a bar of some new Cadbury's vanilla filled something or other, can't remember what it's called. I thought it looked nice so I bought a bar last Friday and it's still intact in the fridge

Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Yeah, I tried that Willy's Wonka chocolate - he did a show on Channel 4 last year and it was tasty. But again, very infrequently.

Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
I don't think about low-fat versions of any food really. Everything in moderation works for me.

iguana

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?


It varies. Ones that repeatedly come up tops are, Starbars, ToffeeCrisps, Rolos, any chocolate covered toffees like MilkDuds or ToffeePoppets, Moros, Topics, Crunchies, Malteasers, Green and Blacks Butterscotch, Dark Cherry, Ginger and Maya Gold, those chocolate sweets that are covered in 100s and 1000s, mint chocolates. There are others.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?

Probably most days, I don't really think about it.

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?

Yup, I like all types of it, from sweet Bournville to seriously bitter and spiced chocolate. I also like cooking with it, I make a great dark chocolate and chilli fudge sauce to go over homemade ginger ice-cream.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?

No not really. Low fat versions of things generally taste like shíte. Everything in moderation is the best way to deal with treats. If you eat well in general and don't deny yourself a little of what you like, you won't obsess over sweets.

Busi_Girl08

Anyway...

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
Hmm, It would be a toss up between Snickers, Moro or Double Decker. Or Wispa. Then there are others that I would pick up for a quick nibble, like Mint Crisp, Milky Bar, Topics are pretty good, etc.
As others have said, it depends on my mood, really (read: Time of Month :pac:)


2) How often do you eat chocolate?
I used to eat it liberally every day, but I have (at least tried to) cut down down a bit. I maybe have a bar or 2 a week.


3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Not too crazy about it. I've a bit of a sweet tooth. I don't mind dark chocolate with mint (After Eights) though.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
Well it would certainly make me feel less guilty :pac:
Honestly though, I think it could fall under the Diet Coke trap "It's not the real thing".
Also, I really don't see how you could make Double Decker lower fat, without halving it in size :P

Bounty, milka, kinder bueno, curley wurley....ye get the drift! :P

Dude only discovered kinder buenos about two months ago. It's like my wet dream of a chocolate bar!
also having a craving for some ferrero roches atm. As well as minstrels, wispas and kitkat chunkys.

I eat chocolate as much as possible. Like not enough to be a complete bin but enough so that I get given out to from bf for not eating properly!

NOt a fan of dark chocolate tbh. Seems to be a waste of the coco bean to me. :P

Do I wish there was a low fat version?! yes, yes I do. Surely that would allow me to double my intake in a guilt free manner?!

I'm unfollowing this thread as of now. I'm sposed to be on a diet

Fluorescence

1) What is your favourite chocolate bar?
I like Terry's Chocolate Orange bars, Mint Aeros, Milkybars and Moros.

2) How often do you eat chocolate?
Difficult to say. I rarely->never buy a bar for myself, but if there's stuff in the house I'd eat it all day long. Nom

3) Do you like Dark chocolate (if so what kind)?
Yuck, no. Pretty much any I've tried has been too "dry" and not sweet enough for my taste.

4) Do you wish there were more lower fat versions of chocolate bars or do you not really care?
I can't imagine a low fat chocolate bar tasting good, which kind of diminishes the point of chocolate, so no.
