Chocolate letters?

Snakey

Those ones you buy for the kiddies on December 6th. It's not a thing in our family but I'm seeing the nephews/nieces around then so I thought it might be a nice bit of random weirdness and you can't go wrong with chocolate.

Having looked them up on the internet I went to a shop in Tottenham Court Road, they had loads but they didn't have one of the initials I wanted and obviously can't buy if it means somebody doesn't get one.

It's a Dutch tradition and I was wondering whether they might sell them at Aldi or Lidl maybe (Germany's sort-of near the Netherlands, right? )... but I don't live near one and how annoying would it be to make a special trip and they don't have any!

Anyone seen them in shops anywhere?

I haven't seen them, but I's be tempted to have a go myself by pouring melted chocolate into the right shaped biscuit cutters:

It was Hema I went to! They had loads of nice Christmassy things and not too expensive - and an absolute ton of chocolate letters, including Qs and Zs but not all of the ones that I need.
