Chocolate mis-shapes from Iceland - what's in your bag?

zappomatic

Iceland sell 250g (currently 20% extra free so 300g) bags of chocolate mis-shapes for £1, the label promising famous brands inside and a list of possible ingredients taking up almost half the back of the packet! It includes such exotic ingredients such as gold leaf and champagne. Obviously no good for people with allergies as there could be anything in there.

The two bags I've had have been all Cadbury's chocolate, mostly things from Milk tray or Roses. There are some interesting faults such as chocolates that are meant to have a filling being solid, conjoined twins, that sort of thing and they all look a bit worse for wear as they're not wrapped so have been rubbing against each other. Has anyone else bought these chocolates, and if so what did you find inside?

Just thought I'd add, the best before date on the bag I have is 21st October 09 and has what I'm guessing is a batch number L62948 08:37

I bought the Iceland mix but only found four different chocolates. The majority were dairy milk blocks of two. Not very inspiring so I bought another bag to see if the first was unrepresentative, it wasn't.

You can get them from farmfoods too! I have had some Thorntons in mine occasionally

Still, 300g of Dairy Milk for £1 isn't bad! My latest bag has a few too many of the hard toffee ones from Roses and I'm not so keen on those.

I know the ones and they are lovely Our nearest newsagents sells them and yum, yum

I used to love these when we had Iceland in Dublin. Ate far far far too many. Don't understand how I did not lose weight when they closed. Must remember to get them next time I am in Northern Ireland.

You guys are making me hungry

i buy these occassionally and usually find quite a few Thornton chocolates in mine along with the Cadburys strawberry chcoclate and others. i think they are good value.

They sell these in Netto. I have only had one bag but they were all Roses or suchlike and either toffee, caramel or strawberry creme.

Still, not bad for a scoff.
