    Oooh, can i ask where you got these. My kind of chocolate.
    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.

    Ordered one for £1.99 on Amazon (I have Prime so "free" delivery). It got lost, they refunded me the £1.99 plus gave me £5 credit so I got the Haribo one (£5) for free instead. Of course I should have reordered the Galaxy one too, doh!

    Also in Tesco. I ordered 2 sets of 3 for my niblings (2 different types, both Cadbury) and got 5 of one and 1 of the other. Only noticed when I was putting them away with the Christmas chocs. It's not the end of the world but when I was picking my order up I was too busy focusing on expiry dates for the fresh stuff to even look at the pictures on the boxes.

    In tesco this morning I also got the 3 selection boxes for €5 and 2 tubs for €8, plus 6 bottles of wine for €40. Also a bag of onions.
    My mam had given me her tesco card and €10 off €50 vouchers that she got in the post too so great value shopping was done. I love getting all this stuff in for Christmas.
