Cadburys Snaps

[Michelle]

Ok, so you can't get much more off topic than this, but I have just discovered these today.. and they are heavenly!! :mrgreen:

I've actually got the mint ones, and I'm taking the chocolate ones to work tomorrow (my last day).. I'll have to look out for other flavours next time I'm shopping! :wink:

[Maureen]

I just love Cadbury - esp whole nut...and always thought it is one of the most popular in the world.........but recently, while on holiday at Lake Garda, Italy - we could not find any in the shops, although they had other English chocs. When we asked for Cadbury specifically the shop people had never heard of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sadted

[Kell]

I've had the hazlenut snaps & the orange ones too - they're delish!

You often find other countries have never heard of Cadbury's - odd coz their chocolate is So much better than some others I could mention, such as Hersheys (ick!).

When push comes to shove, though, I tend towards Throntons. Mmmmmmm!

[Mamacita]

Chocolate! You have my attention!! :mrgreen: What are snaps?

[Michelle]

:mrgreen:
Snaps are thin chocolate, made sort of crispy by bits of mint, orange and teh such. Hard to explain, but lovely!

[Mamacita]

Hmm, sounds good.

We have these things called "Swoops". They look like potato chips (crisps to you) but are made of chocolate. I avoid them. They're not made from the best chocolate and it makes it too easy to eat a lot of them.

We have easy access to Cadbury,( lucky us!! ) at stores like Whole Foods and some of the Brit specialty shops.

But if I REALLY want to indulge, I buy a Lindt dark chocolate truffle bar. :faint:

[Kell]

Our Snaps are shaped a bit like Pringles, so they're probably similar to your Swoops - they are deliciously more-ish to boot.

ANd I agree about Lindt chocs - especialy the dark ones - mmmmmm!

[Maureen]

The bad thing about Snaps is you can eat a whole pkt without noticing!!

[Mamacita]

I think they must be about the same thing, then. Next time I'm in the Brit shop I'll see if they have some and I'll give them a try. I'm sure dh will help me eat them! :wink:

[Kell]

I'm sure dh will help me eat them! :wink:

I'll be surprised if you want any help with them - I always just want to scoff the lot - LOL!

On the subject of chocolate.. I am eating a Chocolate Orange, and it's just heavenly!

"Don't tap it.. Whack it!"

[Maureen]

* A case for reading - reading can make you feel better about things!![/b]

It's not Terry's - it's mine!

[Michelle]

Right now, I assure you it's MINE!

And it's almost gone! :oops:

[Maureen]

Whenever I see these at the shop, I think of you Micha!

Ooooo... I LOVE chocolate! I tried some Cadbury's Snaps yesterday, the mint one and the orange one, and they're LOVELY!

[pontalba]

Chocolate? Did I hear the Magic Word?? :jump:
Yes, Cadbury's is good, I like the plain milk chocolate bars, with a nice glass of cold, black, strong coffee to wash it down.
Milky Ways are fine too though.

And I've had the orange chocolate....yum.
Think I'll go and get a milky way right now. :mrgreen:

[Sofia]

I just made chocolate brownies...does that count? :mrgreen:

[pontalba]

Only if you share. :mrgreen:

[Sofia]

Only if you share. :mrgreen:
always :D

mmmmm... love chocolate so much. My absolute faves are Mozartkugeln, but I will settle for Lindors. Actually I will settle for Scotbloc if I can't get anything else, so long as it tastes vaguely chocolatey.

I've found a chocolatier close to where I live who is making all kinds of wonderful creations. Last Saturday I bought a bag of mixed truffles and they were delish - Mango and Chilli, autumn fruits, fig and pear... I'm drooling just thinking about them!

Whenever DH and I are in England, I stock up on Aero bars. Love those things. Haven't tried snaps or swoops - I have enough food addictions to deal with as it is. ;)

[Sugar]

I've found recently that I haven't fancied chocolate as much - it could be because of the summer?

You can't beat a proper 99 with Cadbury Flake from the Icecream man though!

Oh - and Marks and Sparks do some fantastic belgian chocolate coated dried fruit things....

oh dear - you may have started something there! I've just been along & ordered the following:
Ovalteenies - I used to have these when I was a kid & loved them, so I couldn't resist.
Bisquick Complete Mix Buttermilk Biscuits - I've always been intrigued about the American "biscuit" thiing, so I want to give them a try.
Aunt Jemima Easy Mix Corn Bread - Another American classic I've always wanted to try.
DH Cake Mix Red Velvet - It just looked delicious!
Viol Tabletter - I love violet sweets, so I couldn't resist them!

I'll let you know how I get on with them all when they arrive. :)

I really like corn bread. If you like it, it's pretty easy to make it and cheap too. If you try it and like it then let me know and I'll send you or post a recipe for it.

American biscuits are yum.
