I was going to do a roundup once I’d finally eaten the big Fazer bar I’ve been saving till last (since we postponed our movie night). Though the gf is away this weekend and I’ve been informed if I eat it while she’s away the wedding is off.

She wasn’t joking. Not even a little.

What was the triangular wafer and chocolate one called? I ate that last weekend after #somebeers and thought, “MY GOD THEY’VE PERFECTED THE WAFER AND CHOCOLATE COMBO! AND IT’S SHAPED LIKE PIZZA! THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!” and now I can’t remember if this was a dream or not. If it is indeed a thing I ate I’m gonna find a way to import lots of those ASAP.

Oh and the big fruit and nut one is the best fruit and nut chocolate bar out there. Their philosophy of cramming every possible bit of space with fruit and/or nut makes Cadbury look like a gang of stingy scumbags.

This one? You get big ‘coins’ like this and they’re cut into pizza-style slices. My step-mum is obsessed with them and I have to bring them home every time I go.

YES!

I was laid on my sofa in the dark at like 2am in chocolate heaven. It’s my new happy place to mentally drift away to in shitty meetings.

£5 is the cheapest I can find them in the UK.

It’s a bit steep but I’m still tempted to blow the wedding budget on my own body weight in chocolate wafer goodness.

I have been meaning to bump this thread actually to ask if anyone had not received their prizes yet, with the expectation though that some of the creative ones might take a bit longer in the making though.

Yours was from @chintzylacroix, right? She seemed to disappear again quite quickly, I am not sure what to do here.

A lesson learned for any repeat raffle though, I will only accept prizes from people who have been consistently around so I know they are more likely to follow through.

Maybe offering it back out to any people who didn’t get there prizes in the end, if there are more than just Jordan? (as I am aware he is also not in London, so it likely wouldn’t be practical for him either. If not maybe a poll to find people who would like the prize who can practically take it?

poll of those interested sounds very fair to me

Yup. Life. I know Jordan IRL so I can sort it with him.
