Popped into Sainsbury’s today and accidentally on purpose found myself in the confectionary aisle, picked up my usual Lindt 85% and then noticed on the top shelf Montezuma 100% chocolate with orange oil and chocolate nibs. It’s been years since I last tried 100% and that’s when I thought 70% was too dark, so thought with the addition of the orange oil might be quite palatable. How wrong can one person be? Oh my good Lord, it was awful, that’s £2.50 I will never get back again! :(

100% chocolate - it has to be a Wispa. Well, either that or a Flake. Both 100% Cadbury chocolate. :D
 
Who goes mentioning things like Montezuma's without an up front warning @eggy?! Reminded me there was a bar of their Spice it Up (93% with dragon ginger) in the kitchen cupboard....I've just tested it to make sure it's still ok....pleased to report it is! Phew.

Wispa @Matt Cycle ? But doesn't it have air bubbles in?! Cadburys giant choc buttons, 2 placed flat sides together...now your talking!🙂
 
I will have to put that on my bucket list at least to try. Always open to new adventures.🙂
 
Can you believe it? The website is blocked lol
Must be scared of a Choclolate Invasion here.
Bizarre

I am in Keighley tomorrow funnily enough, I could leave it in a secret place for you! There’s £2.37 worth left! :D
 
@eggyg - You could always grate a little over berries and cream, or some other dessert delight, to add an edge.

I'm not a chocolate fan, so MrB's stash is safe.
 
I found 100% choc hard to stomach at first but did eventually get a taste for it. It's something that needs adapting too, but takes time.
 
I bought a Montezuma 100% bar a few months ago and still have half of it left - didn't quite think it was as bad as you did @eggyg but I did think it's an acquired taste, and not really one I'm anxious to acquire! I went back to my Green & Blacks. I persuaded R to try one square of the Montezuma (he doesn't like sweet stuff so doesn't normally eat chocolate) and he woke up the next morning with a migraine - oops 😳

I am with Mark on this, at first it was too bitter but now I eat it very happily!
 
Wish I'd read this before buying my bar or orange Montezuma 100%. Sucked a small piece, winced, spit out orange peel....thought: is this punishment enough? Nodded. Binned the rest. I might never crave choccy again so £2.50 well spent.
 
My Little stash, I actually quite like it. I alos like the Moser Roth 85%

I tried it and decided to use it in cooking. Please don’t throw it away.
 
I am so jealous that I cant get my hands on 100% here to try!! xx
