I got a lovely nano bar in my Hotel Chocolat selection that was a 70% and nib bar, you cant get it on its own from there so just wondered if anyone knew of any dark nib bars? Any help would be appreciated, TIA 🙂 x
 
As described in the first bit, its just a bar of chocolate with nibs throughout it (cacao nibs) x
 
This is the hotel chocolat one x20180112_115046.jpg
 
You could try Montezuma. Their website has lots of different high cocoa content choccy bars including some with nibs.
 
I've seen nibs sold separately in a bag in Hotel Chocolate. I wonder if you can make your own bars that way?

I've had a look there but they don't seem to show the nutrition, or at least not for every bar x

Yes I could but I don't really have the time x
 
Well found a company online called Aztec Gold chocolate, you can buy bars online or they do markets etc that do a nib bar and other flavours, emailed them and kindly they gave me the nutrition for the bars I was interested in 🙂 x
 
I see they do a 100% Dark-Spiced Aztec-Peru
100gr £7.75. 3 bars or more free delivery.
Seems a little pricey but may be worth it
@Kaylz what was the nutrition K please?

I think I am a mean fifer. Would want the meal to go with it at that price.
 
@Vince_UK , I said they emailed me with pics of the bars I had enquired about, why would you assume the Aztec Spiced would e one of them?
I'm only joking of course :D and its just your luck that it is one I enquired about! Haha, pic attached 🙂 x100% Aztec Back copy[53].jpg
 
I went into the shop in Edinburgh. All looked lovely but wouldn’t pay the prices for a bit of chocolate. (Even sale prices)
I'm getting used to this condition costing me a fortune as its always junk that is cheap, a treat of a few bars of chocolate is nothing compared to what I spend on fruit etc! lol x

I walked around Poundshop yesterday and the price of normal choccies, sweets and biscuits etc. is ridiculously low.
Absolutely annoying to be quite honest lol

It certainly is ridiculous, although normal chocolates aren't off bounds I've always preferred dark, never mind Tesco deals change today so will report back if I see anything you may be interested in! HAHA x

Past life? lol
Try living in China. They have a word for it "xiao qi" 小气 which means stingy and you have no idea just how xiao qi the Chinese are lol It rubs off. They put our dear Scottish brethren to shame lol (OOOOPS will get into trouble for saying that )😱
They get very upset when you call them this lol but they really are penny pinching and mean beyond all belief, unless of course it gives face value then they will spend like there is no tomorrow for face Mianzi 面子
Live in apartments with nothing on the floors and no heating etc but Mercedes parked outside because it gives "face".
That is why westen branded goods sell very well there , Apple for example. Sell your kidney to buy an iPad which has been done on more than one occasion.

Problem is, if I pay £1 for 4 Mars Bars or Double Deckers they will last approximately 10 minutes and I will not just buy 1 pack but probably 10 lol,
That was my problem.😱
I think the word for it is Pig.
