    I really like the blue one. It's a little like Kinder but it can be hard to get.

    Lindt is my FAVOURITE!! £15 so most likely €20 here. I’m still in.

    The Lindt tin is fantistic, not a chance of family sharing though. I cringed to think of the price here.

    An a 1kg lindt santa??? I need this.

    I am loving the 'Christmas Past' podcast at the moment. It's episodes are from 5 - 15 mins which means I get a couple in on the 30 min drive to work.

    Ditto, especially if you get the Lindor at the almost melted temperature. Hersey's etc are manky.

    The temptation is unreal! I haven't tried the chilli one but if you say it's better than the dark chocolate and orange then I'm just going to have to test that theory :pac:

    Cadbury's just released them, I got a big bag of them for €1.97 (thanks Vat reduction) in Tesco on the weekend... and I demolished them!

    Will need to but in some exercise this week :o:o

    Great thread !

    Yesterday I bought the first chocolate slab of the season, think the last time I had chocolate was April; I really don't fancy it at all in Spring/Summer, not even chocolate ice cream.

    I usually buy simple dark chocolate slabs, unsually plain and sometimes with hazelnuts.
    Love chocolate-coated orange peel and also ginger.
    So it is a Yes from me re the : orange flavour.

    Re: Christmas sweets, I love Candied Chestnuts/Marrons Glacé and only have them at Christmas time.

    Again, great thread ! Am eagerly following re: new product launches.

    Too much temptation. Trying hard to get my act together and starting to make progress so threads like these are a killer to read when working.

    Now to start by resisting the temptation to actually read the thread LOL.

    Me neither. They're not thick or smooth enough and are quite salty. Now don't get me wrong, I'd eat them no bother if offered one :D But they definitely wouldn't be my chocolate of choice.

    I was just about to post the same thing. Well I guess it wouldn’t be Christmas without a good family row.

    And I guess we found our Roses vs quality street style debate for this year. Lindt YAY or nay?

    As I said my favorite lindtt is the blue ball because it's lovely and sweet. (I'm a real kid at heart.)
    However I much prefer the little Lindt balls than the big ones.

    From you previous post I was thinking ba-humbug DVB, and I was daydreaming about a bag of buttons and a cup of tea. But I agree, I am too weak at the moment and will end up breaking. I will be back in seven weeks.

    Ps. Curly wurly dunked in tea.
