Mint Chocolate

jester77

Like it or loathe it?

I love mint chocolate, hard to beat an after eight and nothing more refreshing than a nice mint feast or some mint vienetta ice-cream or best of all the haagen dazs mint leaf chocolate ice-cream.

When I moved to Germany, I suddenly found myself in a land where it is universally despised. It is a challenge to find a mint ice-cream, no mint feasts or vienetta here Italian Gelato is the only good source and mint chocolate is not sold in many places.

This Easter we got after eight chocolate bunnies from the company I work for, for the last few weeks people have been handing over their chocolate to me

Is this a German thing or do lots of Irish people also dislike mint chocolate :eek:

Yet they have mint schnapps ?

Mint chocolate is amazing, what I wouldn't do for a bar of Marabou mint krokant right now. Not a big fan of it elsewhere like on lamb though.

Mint puddles from Cadbury's were sexual chocolate altogether.

It's no orange chocolate, but it'll do.

I love mint chocolate. Can't beat the old 10p Mint Crisp bar or a Fry's Peppermint Cream for some chocolately, minty refreshment. Mmm!

That Mint Aero guy seems sound. Couldn't eat him whole though.

Mint Lindt chocolate is seriously good. I'm always amazed how popular orange chocolate is, it's a vile combination.

I can take it or leave it to be honest along with orange, salt, chilli etc. I prefer chocolate flavoured chocolate.

Maybe he's a descendent of the Viscount of Watford, who famously introduced the mint herb to Britain in 1756.

It's alright but I find if I have a bit of chocolate that i need a drink of water after it and it's weird when you have a drink after something minty.

When I was small, I loved orange chocolate. If I got a pack of smarties, I used to give away all of them and just keep the orange ones which meant that I only got about 3 or 4 out of the whole pack.

I'm still in mourning for Fry's Orange Creams. They were delicious.

The odd time I'll have a Chocolate Cream and reminisce about the good old days, when things were more orangey

Everyone I know hates orange/chocolate or strawberry/chocolate. They're always the last sweets in the tin of Roses and that's when I swoop in and eat them all. They're so good!

They occasionally reappear in my local Spar. Usually 2 for a €1. They're gorgeous.

Yeah orange chocolate is the best. Aldi do a orange chocolate areo rip off in a huge bar. It's tasty as fook.

I hate mint chocolate combinations. Mint is refreshing and leaves your mouth with a clean feeling and then to mix chocolate in just ruins it and both tastes are now spoiled. I love them separately but together it's the work of the devil. After mayonnaise...

Best things on the planet. You can still get them in some shops. I'll let you know if I see them again.

Yep! I think it says 'Limited Edition' on the carton. I'll try to remember where I bought them last. Dunnes, I think. I'll check on my way home.

Pick a number between 1 and 97

The filling from a Frys Chocolate Cream makes an excellent emergency toothpaste.

Minty fresh.

Love it Fry bars, Poppets, after eights, ice cream

Keane2baMused

After eights, frys chocolate cream, mint crisp etc are all seriously amazing.

I also love orange chocolate! Can't beat a Terry's

NiallBoo

Fry's peppermint cream milkshake.

- It's pretty-much everything you need in life.

nomdeboardie

The idea is abhorrent to me...but I have been known to nibble on a few AfterEights if I come acoss them - they exert a strange fascination in small quantities :eek::p

suicide_circus

Add a little baileys, brandy and crème de menthe to your hot chocolate...

freshpopcorn

I like mint chocolate. Also have I've had various different types of chocolate from sea salt to butterscotch.
The only types of chocolate I hate is orange and strawberry.

Absolutely delicious!!! Especially out of the fridge.

Same here. Nobody in my family will touch them, they think they're vile. I hate all the caramel and toffee ones. I let them fight for that muck amongst themselves :-)

Mint Aero

Hate mint chocolate. Gives me an aerated feeling in the larynx and reminds me of my own mortality.

If you're referring to the chocolate bar then it's a common misconception
