    Bought 3 bags of misshape bars and when i opened one there were 2 bars and the rest were chocolates, opened the other 2 and they were the same. Very dissappointed.

    I got pretty much an entire bag of lemon ones, yum yum, they are so good.
    You need to fondle them better people, not squash them though :)

    I got a bag of misshapes that were mainly milk-chocolate covered strawberry mice - particularly good as OH didn't like them! For the fondlers: they feel mouse-shaped. But if you squeeze them and they squeak, that's probably a real mouse, so choose another bag.
