    Dark chocolate. I buy myself a really small bar of ultra dark chocolate and break off a square whenever I feel the need for some indulgence. Like Lilith1980 above, the Lindt 90% cocoa dark chocolate is absolute bliss for me - the darker the better - and you only need one square maximum.

    Mini/Fun Size bars of chocolate are very useful when on a diet - especially if you keep the bag in the freezer :).

    Also can second the 'Pink & Whites'!

    For a Chocaholic - how about Choc Chip Snack A Jack's - very scrummy indeed; they also have a Caramel version for the 'Toffee Addicts' :drool:.
  • Also, I like to slice an apple really thinly, spread it out on a baking tray and sprinkle with a teaspoon of brown sugar and plenty of cinnamon, and bake on low (160ish) for around 20-25 mins... They end up like a sweet crisp :)[/QUOTE]

    This sounds lovely, I'm going to try it this evening :) Thanks

    try freezing your curly wurly and then snapping it into chunks - like having a bag of toffee.

    OOOOH! I know what I'm putting on my shopping list for tomorrow!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Sounds tasty - only mind your teeth - I discovered too late that the chocolate (from a box of chocolates) I'd bitten into, expecting it to be relatively soft, contained rock-hard toffee, on which I managed to break a tooth ... definitely not MSE, apart from quite unpleasant!:eek:

    Thanks for that Snowleopard61. I have done exactly the same as you before, so I am very wary now!
    I was thinking of breaking off a bit and putting it in my mouth and letting it melt ever so sloooowly. :)
