This year I’ve ended up with some chocolates that I really like, some of them a little different from usual like orange slices coated in dark chocolate and peanuts coated in dark chocolate and a lot of Lindor chocolate.

I think I’m almost relieved this year not to get a Cadbury favourites box.

I think it’s the least favourite of any chocolate boxes i like to get because I hate what’s in them.

Oh and also got a box of shortbread biscuits, oohh they’re so good.

Oh I got a box of them too.

I haven’t eaten them in forever and they taste so good.

Get me a bucket of maltesers or M&Ms and you'll have yourself a very happy Baku!

I know this is probably blasphemy, but I hate getting those lindt ball box things. Lindt chocolate blocks are ♥️, but the lindor ball things just aren't nice to me. At least the 3 standard ones usually in those boxes aren't. I stopped at the lindt store on Spencer a few years ago and got a mint one and a few other flavours and they were good. I'd rather celebrations tbh

I, too, am not a Lindt ball person!

Agreed. Not dark enough to bother with. At least 70% or bust
