Opened a tub yesterday and there was ONE in it, Cadbury philistinism

I feel your pain... desperate times call for desperate measures.

Are there any regularly available packets of chocs that are similar to the Cadburys Roses Brazilian Darkness?

The closest I can think of is Riesen, but it's just chocolate.

It's a good thread to have on the go in my opinion for those who want to pick up a few bits every week for Christmas or those those who just want to eat them now.

I actually hate the tins. They're very useful for a compulsive hoarder and least the tins you can get rid of them easily.

tesco.

roses 660g 7.50
QS 720g 7.50
heroes 660g 8euro
celebrations 650g 7.50

Dealz have pouches of one of them which are cheaper per kilo.

^^good price, its like 225g for 1.50, it would be rare to get that much branded chocolate for that price in dealz. I go by overall weight in dealz as the size of bars can vary a lot.

A normal "christmas season tub" of celebrations is usually 680g. So at €3 for 450g a 680g tub would be €4.53.
