Terry's All Gold Dark

I love plain chocolate but usually manage to avoid the siren call from the chocolate shelves in shops. Very occasionally I succumb and find myself at the checkout clutching a box of plain chocolates, secure in the knowledge that I'm going to live to regret it within 24 hours, but still convinced that I need to make the purchase. My favourite selection of plain chocolates is good old Black Magic, but I'm not that fussy and any plain chocolate will do the job. If there are no Black Magic to hand then Terry's All Gold hit the spot just as well in the quest for a chocolate fix. ~ HISTORY ~ There ... more

I don't get many boxes of chocs these days and to be honest that is not such a bad thing, as I would have to eat them. It's not that I dislike chocolate, but the manufacturers do insist on adding calories to all their makes. So resist the chocolate I must, but a bargain is a different matter.

Terry’s Chocolate All Gold Dark is a contradiction in terms, with each bite a battle between Elysian delight and sinful decadent indulgence. This 450g worth ... more

Or perhaps not! The dark "All Gold" aren't as nice as the milk ones. The 450g boxes of "All Gold" seem to be the most common size, and they cost £4.99 but often at around Easter and Christmas, you can get them cheaper on special offer. BOX Terry’s All Gold come in a square gold coloured box and they have an annoying cellophane cover on them, a bit like the covers you get on cigarette boxes. The cover is on very tight and even pulling on the little red strand didn't work. It was a job for the scissors! CHOCOLATES There are 2 layers of chocolates, some of which are repeated. Here they are, in no ... more
