Mat -glad you found some Reese's in woolies -I thought you might :)

We only got two selection boxes this year, one for me and one for hubby from thorntons - I think people are trying to tell us something :rolleyes:

Og -I've got a fair few chocolate cake recipes -surprising isn't it? :p

Thanks. :)

Fuck... who do I have to blow for some Belgian chocolates? Blarg! :p
 
Anyone want to do some goodie trading with me? I'm in the States too. :D

And I just found a dark chocolate that's way better than Dove's. It's made by Ghirardelli. I don't know how widely available it is, but it's awesome.

Well, their milk chocolate is just as good, and they have raspberry, mint and caramel filled varieties, as well as plain. I think they do, anyway. But there's lots of other things you might be wanting that you can't get over there.

the raspberry sounds yummy!


Actually, I was mentioning it to hubby last night, I see loads of american recipes asking for "butterscotch chips/morsels" and they sound yummy but you just can't get them here (well, he found a couple of websites but the price was horrendous) and I'd love to give them a try.

And my hubs would love some kisses... hershey ones that is *LOL*

I'll send back whatever english chocolaey goodness your heart desires in return :heart:

I believe we have a deal, Ma'am. :D BTW, those butterscotch chips are very good. Especially when substituted for choco chips in a choco chip cookie (biscut) recipe. How much were you wanting, dear heart?

Truly, EL must be profoundly ee-vil indeed, seeing how this thread has generated 142 posts in just about 24 hours. I had no idea - I thought she was a sweet Christian lady who doled out biscuits and hugs to all who are feeling forlorn or peckish. Clearly she must be living a double life. (No doubt related to her GB involvement - I predicted to myself that there'd be tears when that began.)

Those are the lures of a truely soficticated, and modern thinking devil. It's how she reels you in to a life of sin and chocolately degridation. You catch more flys with honey than vinegar, and Satan is the Lord of Flys, after all. ;)

My word- you lot are getting all worked up about Cadbury's? Have you ever tried Lindt? Jeeeeeeeeeeeez - I've eaten three 200g boxes since Xmas (as well as ten tonnes of other chocs).

Lindt Lindor is especially addictive. Soooo good.
<drools>
I could literally talk about chocolate for hours. I am a connoisseur and will send out chocolate to people in the states in return for Benefit makeup. I love it and they charge absurd amounts for it over here. either that or silk underwear, but that's a story for another day.

The first 2 people to suggest appropriate returns will get a bar of their choice of chocolate from the Uk...
