Chocolate that doesn't melt is surely not chocolate as we know it?

They're messing around too much with it. I also wonder if Cadbury's new paymasters are tinkering with the recipe of theirs. The Easter Eggs were disgusting the other year.
Talking of those - I had to send a couple of boxes of Cream Eggs over to a friend in France this year - they are deprived of them on that side of the Channel you know!

I have no faith in the Cadbury brand since it was bought out. I don't buy it. If they have changed the chocolate buttons I would rather not know, I'd rather keep my memories! Besides, these days there are so many chocolate bars to choose from. There is a very nice one called Good Boy.

These are the sort of vital things one needs to know! When we first moved back to Ireland there were loads of sweets that I missed. Spangles. Smarties, if you can believe that! (We had to make do with the Irish attempt at them, they were called Beanos, and they came in a box not a tube. And they were not as nice - even as Good Boy Drops. in fact, I wonder now if they WERE goodboy drops just repackaged...)
And you could only get mint polos, perhaps the fruit flavoured ones were the devil's work.

Goodboy drops are for dogs, aren't they? Not proper chocolate at all!

One minute they were real chocolate. Next it was FAKE!
