Appears so. According to wiki it's a gel of starch and sugar. It smells and tastes like it's been sitting under a floorboard in Grandma's house for 30 years.

I like the Lidl dark chocolate. It's cocoa rich, just on the right side of dry and a full size bar is about 50p. For those who also like milky nuts they do a lovely milk chocolate and hazelnut bar, again full size and about 50p. Mrs The Clamp also likes maltesers so there will be a catering size box of those knocking around. I like chocolate but some types make me cough, anyone else get this?

I agree but the mountain range is sparse these days

I am partial to a few dark chocolate coated Brazil nuts.
Plain chocolate is usually my thing, the darker the better.

Box of Quality Street for me, and some Ferraro Rochet.

Wow!! That just flashed me back to being 8 years old. My Dad was a printer, and one of his co-workers was a bit of a wheeler dealer who used to buy stuff en-masse and give it to his colleagues to sell on for a commission.
My Dad brought about a dozen of these exact machines home. The 'stacks' of those chocolate bars were 6 deep on the ones he had, with only 5 showing in the window......
Me being a devious little shit - I took the backs off all of them, took the bottom two bars out, and filled the gap with two little rectangles of cardboard from a box in the loft.
Some would call it devious. I called it a Christmas treat.

Oh bugger..!
It has to be chocolate liqueurs - the ones shaped like bottles so you can bite the top off and swig the liqueur down before eating or throwing away the chocolate bit.
