Sadly not sugar free but wow, this is delicious 🌱 Sainsbury’s chocolate aisle. Cost a kidney but …. 🤩

[Serendipitious]

I’ve had that a couple of times. It’s also sold in Whole Foods. Very moreish and also yes very pricey! Enjoy.

[Jaydee1507 Administrator]

I'll look that out next time I'm in Sainsburys. Thank you. 🍫

we had a last day on nectar voucher orange strip thing offer we couldn’t refuse.

[Jaydee1507 Administrator in reply to Regenallotment]

I do go to Sainsbury's especially as they stock the Rhythm 108 range of cookies and chocolate which is gluten, dairy, soy free. They are my usual go to treat but again not cheap! Ocado did some of their mini chocolate easter eggs that were amazing.

oooo I’ll look out for those for a special occasion they look yummy, thanks for the tip

Pass that over here right now Regenallotment. It's very unkind of you to post this at bedtime. Some of us are greedy.....ahem, trying hard to avoid sugar......we won't be going to Sainsbury's unless it is to the fruit and veg aisle (but we need to walk past the chocolate aisle on the way to the manned checkout, and can't be held responsible for items that fall in the basket on the way) < glares disapprovingly>

[Regenallotment Ambassador in reply to Alanna012]

🤣 yeah I’m sugar free

….. except when I’m not 🙈

Genuinely feel better when I am sugar free but it’s soooo delicious!

[Alanna012 in reply to Regenallotment]

😂😂😂 I will be making it a priority to find it tomorrow if I can! Wonder if it will be available in any if the smaller locals! Thanks for sharing it's good to have something free from to look forward to!

[TiggerMe Ambassador in reply to Alanna012]

Doesn't seem to have made it to our stores? They have this one... and salted caramel

Vegan choc bar with mixed reviews

Well done on sugar free apart from the odd treat. Wish I could do it , sadly I love berries and end up having some most weeks. And tomatoes ! Chocolate only passes my lips as a couple of squares at Christmas thank goodness.

[RedApple Administrator in reply to Miffie]

What! Give up berries and tomatoes? No way! I'm with you 120% on that Miffie.

Sugar free to me is only about the 'added sugar' in prepared products, not fresh food.

[Regenallotment Ambassador in reply to Miffie]

ok so sugar free for me means not eating actual granulated sugar on or in things. I do eat berries as I’m led to believe they are better for my bloodsugar than apples or bananas. 🌱

…. Sadly I’m allergic to hazelnuts! 🥲

[Regenallotment Ambassador in reply to Buddy195]

So is hubby, I am sorry for you, but selfishly in my house it’s a win for me, otherwise I’d have to share with the human dustbin 🤣

The good news for you is they had other flavours 🤩

[Buddy195 Administrator in reply to Regenallotment]

I will definitely check out the other flavours. Thank you! Apparently it’s quite unusual to be allergic to hazelnuts but not other nuts. No Ferrero Rocher for me!

[Regenallotment Ambassador in reply to Buddy195]

yes he’s the same, an almond and walnut muncher 🤗

[SlowDragon Administrator]

These are my ultimate treat…..on my gift request list

Booja Booja truffles

[Hedgeree in reply to SlowDragon]

They are lovely!

Had them bought for me on special occasions 😊

Though not for a while now....maybe I could treat myself?

[Regenallotment Ambassador in reply to SlowDragon]

I had these as a present recently, day 1 & 2 I’m going to have one a day and make these last. Day 3 ate the lot 🤣

[Polo22 in reply to SlowDragon]

It's all your fault, just gone on amazon, starting buying small packs to try , ended up spending £60, I mean bit of red wine to go with chocolates and some weird and wonderful wholefoods so I feel less guilty 😂👍

[Regenallotment Ambassador in reply to Polo22]

ooops sorry about that 🤭

[Polo22 in reply to Regenallotment]

Well I am going to try them, and I might forgive you and SlowDragon, BRB

[Polo22 in reply to Polo22]

OMG, what have you done just tried a Chocolate Orange one,,,, they are too nice

[tattybogle in reply to Polo22]

Stop it now ... i've ran out of tobacco and there's a packet of 32pence bourbons from B&M bargains in the kitchen that i'm trying not to eat .

[Regenallotment Ambassador in reply to tattybogle]

hug face pointy finger face giggle face 🌱 (seedling)

[Polo22 in reply to Regenallotment]

mmmmh just too nice

[Polo22 in reply to tattybogle]

sorry, but they are so good

[tattybogle in reply to Polo22]

if i go to the kitchen and mix ground almonds/ green and blacks cocoa powder / butter /brown sugar /egg yolk / brandy , in a bowl and call it 'a truffle' ... instead of stealing my lodgers crap bourbon biscuits .....

does that count as gastronomy... or is it still just gluttony.

if i do this instead of going and buying some more tobacco from the garage , does that make it a healthy choice ....

decisions... decisions.

Darn it, now i want both... or all three .

found a film to watch instead , hopefully no fags or chocolate in it .

nite nite

[Polo22 in reply to tattybogle]

sleep well and dream of chocolate

[Regenallotment Ambassador in reply to tattybogle]

that sounds truly delicious 🤤

Good to know that it does not contain artificial sweeteners. The warnings about aspartame link to cancer have been given before but now they are much stronger.

[LizzieAFib]

Have you tried Montezuma's Absolute Black 100% cocoa chocolate, although not organic. Also sold in Sainsburys. No dairy, gluten, sugars or soy. There are a few varieties - plain, almond, and orange are the three different types that I like.

[FancyPants54 in reply to LizzieAFib]

Oh my goodness 100% cocoa chocolate is dreadful stuff in my opinion. It sucks all the spit out of my mouth it's so dry. It's fine in cooking applications. Specific applications that don't require a chocolate with good mouth feel. I remember the first time I tasted it! I was doing some website work for a chocolatier, I could not eat that for pleasure. Some sugar is actually necessary in chocolate.

[Regenallotment Ambassador in reply to LizzieAFib]

I have had the montezuma’s 100%, I tried for a while and realised I prefer 90 or 85% it’s a step too far and has a mouth drying effect. I also used to munch on raw cocoa nibs, acquired taste but also doable. Willy’s 100% is softer less gritty. 🌱

[Polo22 in reply to Regenallotment]

My mind went to a dark place then 🤣 sorry

[HealthStarDust]

I don’t think this has made it to my SAINSBURY
