    Love it I'll have to pick one up when I'm in Tesco next. Always hated how Dairy milk only had the mint crisp in the small bars and not the big ones. Same goes for Golden Crisp

    You can get big golden crisp, it's just called Dairy Milk with Crunchie.

    Lidl had large tubes of Fruit Pastilles when I was there today. I bought one and emptied it. However, I've just noticed that it has snowflakes and snow printed on it so I can now safely say I've had my first Christmas sweets for this year :D

    Found this in a local shop: a mini stollen with spelt flour.
    Haven't tried it yet, planning to have a slice for breakfast one of the coming days

    This is my latest find.
    I have always liked chocolates with a liqueur filling.
    I have now found Swiss chocolate bars with a liqueur filling.
    So far, have tasted dark with Cognac, and milk with Cointreau.
    Yum !

    I live in Continental Europe and found them in a local shop.
    The brand does have an online store (don't know about shipping though !), it is: https://shop.chezcamillebloch.ch/ch_en/

    When I lived in Ireland, I used to get all kinds of special chocolate (and other nice goodies) in Fallon & Byrne in Dublin.

    Ok, thanks. I used to love F&B when I worked very near it, but that's a few years ago now. Even the OH is working from home these days.

    Lidl have Cadbury stocking selection boxes (194g) in their leaflet for €1.50 from today. I assumed it's a mistake cos that's less than half the cheapest elsewhere. It's got 6 full size bars in it. Tried one Lidl this morning but none out. Went to a second one and picked up a box of 8. No price up in store. They scanned at €3.99 (the price I imagine they should be) but they gave them to me for €1.50 when I showed them the leaflet. Not sure what they're going to do since they're being advertised at that price, but letting you all know in case you want to try for yourselves.
