    The shopping just arrived there was no Lindor musket-balls included. We have not been able to get the wonderful “Lindor Kogels”, as we call them. This time we had had enough, and decided to look for a new friend to consume with the afternoon tea pause.

    Annnnnnd herrrrrrrres, Côtey !

    Lindor is coming back with this new one:

    We have sort of fallen into a Chocolate Thing lately. On the telly is a series about chocolate making and almost all the brands old and new are being shown. Chocolatiers are featured with some of their quite unbelievable constructions, it is shown how well-known chocolate products are made in the factory...from start to finish, an accomplished chocolatier shows how one can make chocolate bon-bons, bars and so forth at home.

    One of the most interesting aspects of this chocolate series is the history. The history of certain famous chocolates from Cadbury, Nestlé and others like Hershey kisses and bars. I am alredy dreading the end of the series.

    We both have this affliction but I am focused upon exclusively dark chocolates. I do eat milk chocolate upon occasion, but it is never my first choice.

    Am I alone here, does no one else have this chocolate urge?

    I, too, have a chocolate urge. I love the Lindors little balls, white chocolate, dark chocolate, and milk chocolate. Lindors wraps them in different foils with each color telling you which chocolate you are getting. The dark chocolates go first!
    I must confess--when making chocolate chip cookies, I sneak a chip or two, or three, or . . . .

    For me it is Lindt Dark Chocolate Mint Intense. It gives me a feeling of being in a theater watching a movie, I have no idea why :)
    Lindt is hard to come by here so I have to settle for Cadbury.

    That's a shame, can you get things from Amazon where you live?

    Yes Logan I can get somethings from Amazon including Lindt chocolate. I can also get them from the local online platform here. The weather is very hot here most of the time and I don't think it is a good idea to get it online :)
    The bigger supermarket here do have Lindt chocolates but Lindt Dark Chocolate Mint Intense is hard to come by ... maybe it is not popular. So whenever I go to a bigger town or city I'll get a few bars to feed my urges. :D

    @KK Ng oh that's alright then, I think that the chocolate that you want isn't readily available.:D
    I didn't know what countries Amazon went to.

    I hesitate to mention that my dear husband brought home a bag of Lindt mixed chocolate balls. The weather is predicted to be cold on Thursday through the weekend, so we may be having a bit of chocolate and some port. Or a lot of port . . . .

    Areya looking forward to your upcoming port ‘o call then?
    Great to have a choccy home delivery.

    BTW, back before things got so bad with this last covid rise we had to go to Amsterdam for business and when we were walking back to the train station fate brought us by a Lindt shop. Only Lindt products. You can imagine that we could not help but visit and leave with a bag of goodies. Of course they are all gone now.

    Logan, our port is so good it doesn't need any enhancement--sometimes not even a glass!

    That's funny.
    I've always mix it with lemonade because I've always had it that way, I can drink more :D Sainsbury's have a good port.
