These usually reappear every Christmas, but no sign yet... anyone know if they're coming back?

I still haven't seen the lemon version - maybe there are distribution problems at the mo.

The white chocolate variety have been axed I believe. I never liked
them anyway (and I love white chocolate) as the combination didn't seem
to work.



They were selling loads of boxes of the orange flavour in pound shops a few months ago so they cant be very popular.

Yes I did choc chick!


The lemon ones are very lemony, can hardly taste the chocolate for the lemon flavour. The irish cream ones are odd tasting; not really to my liking. I will stick with the mint flavour in future!

They had loads of the orange ones at Latifs a while ago too, so that could be a sign they're on the way out. I wasn't over fussed on the white ones either.

I never thought the lemon ones were very lemony.

I would go for an After Eight with little pieces of mint crisp in it instead of mint fondant.

None there tonight  but then again there were no After Eights of any variety, so it might just be a stock thing.
