I’m not too keen on crunchie. I mean if I was starving and it was the only thing in my bag it would still be unappealing. It sticks to your teeth too. It’s maybe nice dunked in a hot cup of tea. I like creme eggs and galaxy toffee eggs and they are pretty safe. But yes chocolate bars can be lethal, particularly if you have a severe nut allergy.
Well, I have cut down on a lot of sweet stuff and am trying to be careful of what I eat, having just started bp and cholesterol meds, I now eat more nuts and dates in place of chocolate, I do still have the occasional choccy bar, or sweet, but it’s not as often as I used to, so, all this talk of chocolate bars is, “ doin me ed in” ……
i like to put choccie in the fridge, when you come to eat it it takes longer to melt, so twice the pleasure

When we were kids and there wasn’t much cash about, Mum would put a Mars bar in the fridge and then cut it into slices so we could all share
I still do that sometimes, it’s nice

Most definitely not! That cinder toffee masquerading as some kind of ‘honeycomb’ is mostly sugar and not something I would even consider eating. I have more respect for my circulating blood glucose than to give it a huge spike from a Crunchie bar.
Mr B always does this, but the other day he bit into a piece of nut chocolate that had been given the fridge treatment, and he broke a tooth. It literally crumbled and now he has just the root in his gum. He rang the dentist and, because he admitted he wasn’t in any pain (thank heavens!), they gave him an appointment for 9th May 
.
He was very reluctant to eat the rest of the chocolate. Fine by me, I had it 
No and no. I used to love Crunchie when I was a child, but I can’t bear the way it sticks to my teeth these days, so I avoid it!
My Mum used to do the same.
I haven’t eaten a Mars bar, or even a slice of one for y-e-a-r-s.
This is because many years ago some friends and I went into an Ann Summers shop.
I don’t know how many of you are familiar with them, but they have cute underwear and fun things at the front of the shop, but the further in you go the kinkier the things get.
I was standing there looking up at the boxed, inflatable dolls. They were boxed in such a way that their open mouthed faces showed through the cellophane front of the box, while the cardboard said things like “3 useable, realistic orifices”, fine if they are just stag night jokes, but sad and disgusting if actually…
I turned away from them, feeling a bit sick, and noticed the cashier, a big, fat greasy looking young man, reading a paper and eating a Mars bar.
Haven’t gone near one since. Mars bar that is, never gone near an inflatable doll and haven’t been in an Ann Summers shop since either.

When I was a child, we would frequently during the summer months be given sticks of rock from various seaside resorts by our friends and family. I used to love peeling back the wrapper and sucking the rock until it transformed into a dozen or so sticky points - it always made me think of fairy tale castles, lol. But, if our dad got there first, he would take the rock and use two knives (one as a ‘chisel’, one as a ‘hammer’) and smash the whole thing into bite size pieces. I hated when he did that, he just spoiled all the fun
