I'm off around the UK and Ireland for some work and was wondering if you, dear reader, might recommend chocolate emporia for me to visit? I can't guarantee I'll have free time in every town, but I'll give any suggestion a go.

I'm looking for fine chocolate in city areas, easily accessible, as I have to rely on public transport (if any!)

My college I went to this past year, Liaison has this cool promotion up and I thought i'd share it with the group. It basically goes along the lines of: What would YOU do with a chocolate bar a day? They are giving you a chance to win 365, Cadbury Dairy Milk bars! Simply finish the line below, and submit your information for your chance to win.

A chocolate bar a day..." (blank field)
(i.e. A chocolate bar a day keeps my cravings away!)

I thought of some creative things like would you create or bake a delectable chocolate recipe... melt it for a delicious chocolate & fruit fondue... or just indulge and enjoy a bar of milk chocolate every day?

I am also new here and want swap friends who want swap chocolate.

Mm yeah, I remember. Still, many new delicious chocolates have been added in recent times, so I don't mind. Plus I'm much richer than when I was 5. :p

It's part of the Bournville brand... http://www.chocablog.com/reviews/cadbury-bournville-old-jamaica/

Hi!
im doing my dissertation on Cadburys dairy milk going fair trade and was wondering if i cold get some of your opinions to include in my study? all of your contributions will be anonymous!

thanks in advance!

does the fact that Cadburys dairy milk has become fair trade change your attitude towards the brand?
if so, why?

also, do you buy fair trade products regularly?
if yes why?
if no why?

I believe Old Jamaica made a comeback a year or so ago (but unfortunately the ads with the pirates did not)

Ha - I clearly remember a Mars Bar costing four of Her Majesty's New Pennies.

*Waves* Hi everyone!
I'm Amy from Enchocolat.com I'm a chocolate lover obviously and just wanted to pop in and say hello! I'm a Brit living in the US, self employed and a choco-critic on the side :D
Nice to meet you all!

I'd also like to add that I look absolutely nothing like that crazy purple monster on the left...

My friends and I get together for tasting parties. I'm hoping to win the Vosges truffle collection at SALE.com. I love Vosges but those truffles are expensive!

G'day all, any idea where I can get some of this? The local Lindt is $3.50/100g which is getting a bit rich, if you'll pardon the pun.

Whittakers do good cheap 72% but that's a bit sweet for me. I've tried Ebay & google without luck. I'd love to find a source of my favourite fix in bulk!

Thanks in advance :)

Love,

Ed

p.s. I'd love to try 90%, because 99% was too bitter for me.

I remember when Curly Wurlys were twice as big and only 10p. But I wouldn't go back.

I miss the good old days when choco bars were just 40p! thats why i started my facebook group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=261019653694&ref=ts called 'I Miss The Days When Chocolate Bars Cost Only 40p!!!' so me and my friends had a place to talk about our memories, i swear all the childhood memories of me and my friends are about our chocolates!

I would suggest Valrhona and Pralus for starters.

Do people have suggestions on what would be important on making a tasting party a success? How much chocolate per sample? How many samples? Stuff like that.

NonyRoarryver, yes, welcome.

What do people think are important considerations to have a successful tasting party? Is it good to have things fairly quiet? How much chocolate? What kinds of chocolate?

Chocolates are the very favorite kind of a sweet and a dessert which approximately almost do like in the world. The word chocolate derives its name from the Greek. The first "chocolate box" was introduced by Richard Cadbury in 1868. Cadbury World where chocolate comes to life offers a unique insight into the Cadbury World which offers its visitor the opportunity to explore and discover chocolate's history, to learn about the origins and story of the Cadbury business one the world's largest confectionery manufacturers in the united kingdom. Cadbury World has gone on to become one of Birmingham's largest leisure attractions and there has never been a better time to visit Cadbury World in Bourneville, Birmingham. Come and experience the magic, making and history of Cadbury chocolate. Cadburys are the UK's market leader and are one of the largest chocolates manufacturers of the world in the diversified range of chocolates which are all very popular in every age-group across the world.

Yeah Hiya, you are absolutely right that we should arrange a certain kind of chocolate party or even a picnic of this kind will surely have a great fun and all those sumptuous, velvety, sensuous, wonderful and deep-indulgent and mind-captivating creamy chocolates which will definitely spoil your taste buds and once you will have a habit of eating this chocolate you will not enjoy anything else even more than delicious than that because you have stuck in the yummy chocolates fever indeed.

Hi Guys,
Just stumbled upon this site. It looks cool and I think I will be having a good time over here.

Welcome me :)

Hi everybody.

First of all I want to introduce myself and offer my best to all of you.

As a christmas present I want to give you one of my recipes.
You find it right here: http://www.zimbio.com/Christmasdelicious/articles/e1Db0IIr9Xm/My+Christmas+Recipes

Enjoy and get back to me and tell me if you like it.

I was hoping someone could help me to find this product that I bought about 10 years ago. I believe I read about this originally in a magazine somewhere about some incredibly rich hot chocolate that is sold in glass jars and is solid at room temperature because of the high content of fat and cocoa butter. I ordered it, and it was the best stuff I've ever drank in my life. Incredibly expensive, but I remember that it came in glass jars, and as you heated it, it became liquid, and you could drink it. One jar was probably meant to be more than one serving, but piggy me, I downed it in one sitting. Anyways, can you help me find it?? I've been looking to get it again for years now.

Hi there, Yep me and my husband have been numerous times, though we don;t get chance to visit very often nowadays, may I just add for other readers, it's a fantastic day out for children, as not only can you give them (at your disrection) chocolate treats that cost you nothing, but they can learn and see how chocolate is made,educating them in a great art, and there is a ride for younger children that they will find exciting and fun.

The samples they give are full sized bars so be sure to take a bag for your goodies to carry home in, and they also have the best shop where you can buy cheap oddments and broken bits quite cheaply as well as full size retail bars, they offer a full extensive range of their chocolate, and the smell is just to die for, so even if you're like me and lactose intolerant so sadly can;t eat the goodies you can wander around in the pure essence of the smell of the chocolate, though be sure to have eaten before you go in, otherwise the wonderous smell of the melting and tempered chocolate will have your tummy grumbling all the way around lol.

It's a wonderful day out and offers free samples to boot, what more can you ask for =)

awww sadly I think they discontined making them, I remember exactly the box you mean as I purchased the same box for my mother who used to love plain chocolates and was a fan of Terry's of York.

But since Terry's and Rowntree's was taken over by Nestle foods I think they discontinued them, there are some items that still retain the "logo" name of Terry's due to their success and high revenue sales, but technically the terry's name no longer exsists, which is a shame as they produced some of the most exciting and exotic ranges in the chocolate industry.

Myabe you could write to Nestle as I'm sure they will have the old recipes and details of all the ranges that Terry's and Rowntree's of York used to create and sell, they may be able to at least provide you with the names of the chocolates and you never know if they know theirs still interest they may even get out the old recipe book and recreate them.

Good Luck and I hope you get your chocolates you thoroughly enjoyed all those years ago. =D

Hiya all I'm new to the site but can I just say I love discussing chocolate and the smell of it as much as anyone even though I am unable to consume it's naughty goodness.

hehehe here's a free idea for you Dom, as I fully understand where youre coming from for not wishing to invite strangers into your home.

How about during the summer (I know our weather is extremely unpredictable)but how about a chocolate picnic (lol excuse the pun, my husband just pointed that out to me), but you could have chocolate sandwiches, chocolate cakes, hot chocolate or cold chocolate drinks, and of course the good ole choocy bars.

Wish I could join you but sadly I'm lactose intolerant so cannot enjoy this sumptous,velvety,yummy,sensous,wonderful,indulgent food. I can sadly only consume the 70%+ cocoa dark type, or the false,traitorous,decieving,disguised soya type, which really isn't chocolate at all. And the dark type is not so wonderful in large quantities, it's really one of those treats that can be endured in small quantities at any one time.

feel free to use if you wish and happy scientific observations ;P

Hmmm those sites are blocked by your school for good reason, stop trying to break the rules and concentrate on the real reason why you're actually there..... TO LEARN!

What's shakin'?

What's up? I've hung around watching and reading for ages here.

Umm so like does anyone know how to unblock myspace at school?
