Philidelphia CHOCLATE Spread? Worth Getting?

Options
I notice that the full range o Philidelphia soft cheese spreads are being reduced to 84p in Tesco.

This includes the Chocolate one. Is it worth getting? Is it actually cheese or more of a chocloate spread that you can put on toast etc?

Please advise.

    Why? Try it and see.

    It is brown coloured goop the texture of Philadelphia. It doesn't taste of either. If you are fond of cheese you won't like it. If you are fond of chocolate you won't like it.

    (I paid 10p for a short-dated tub once. I felt I was robbed and close to bothering to take it back for a refund.)
  • I like it personally, spread on a digestive with strawberries sliced on top it makes a quick cheesecake, which is what it tastes like chocolate cheesecake topping.

  • I found it more chocolately than cheesey and it's really a love or hate thing, we hated it!
  • I quite like it, I prefer to think of it as chocolate cheesecake spread!

    It's synthetic cr*p, right up there with Nutella.

  • As a fan of both cream cheese and Nutella, I make chocolate cream cheese by mixing a blob of Nutella into plain cream cheese :)

    If it's synthetic, I don't consider it to be food.

    Think about what you are putting into your body. Adults have a choice, but what irks me about Nutella is that it's marketed at children and the benefit of a couple of hazelnuts is over-dramatised.

    No, not worth getting. It's grim. Even my kids hated it.
