Morning Blogsters!
I have just discovered that today is National Choose Your Chocolate Day which was started in 2020, and I am now sad that I have missed out on three years of it.
Missed opportunities to eat chocolate are regrettable affairs indeed.
So, here comes that killer question – What is YOUR favourite chocolate?
Are you an Aero Mint lover?
Dark chocolate?
Milky Bar?
Do you like your chocolate to have fruit in? Nuts? Caramel?
Are you one of the weirdos who likes the abomination that is chocolate orange, or are you sensible like me and think that such things are a waste of good chocolate??
Would you rather have a big bar of one type of chocolate or a selection box with lots of options?
I used to be a Cadbury girl through and through – Dairy Milk was my go-to, alongside Crunchies and Wispas – however since The Takeover, something in the recipe has definitely changed.
The factory tour is still fun though – I’ve done it a few times over the years with youth groups, friends, family, school, and most recently we took the Cubs, Scouts & Explorers there in 2023. I still haven’t recovered from Freddo’s Summer Circus which we attended on that trip. It was… something I don’t have words for.
Nowadays my favourite chocolate is Galaxy – either the plain milk chocolate or the salted caramel one – nothing else seems to melt on the tongue quite so smoothly as that does.
I do love fancy chocolates from smaller companies and factories though, and I’m even really generous and share all the orange and coffee flavoured ones with people when I get them. (Coffee is better than orange in chocolate, but I’d still rather not.)
And on that note, I am going to go and have a Wispa for elevenses. What are you having?
