Diablo Chocolate

[Burylancs]

I have 4 squares of Bournville dark chocolate most days and I don't care what's in it, cos I like it

Chocolate is a perennial topic on this Group as you might expect. I just put 'chocolate' in the search bar and 170 threads with chocolate in the title came up with the earliest being 12 December 2008. When a member heard a tub of Quality Street, bought for Christmas, calling to her and she ate a load. Bournville has generally got a bad press on here over the years because its only 36% and the darkness comes from colourings rather than high amounts of cacao. I usually have Lindt 70% in the fridge and it's safe because nobody else likes it.

I've just had to google it, sounds quite good
Thank you

Even though I like quite a few milk chocolates too, I tend to buy dark, then I don't have to share and it lasts me months 😉

I get the Aldi 85% dark chocolate. It's ready portioned up as each 2 squares are individually wrapped.

I like most chocolate, but I only buy dark these days so I'm not tempted to scoff it

Sounds like consumers might be running the gauntlet with this 'Dubai' stuff and it might not even be classified as 'chocolate ' .....

'A study by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Consumer Protection tested eight imported samples of 'Dubai chocolate', five from the UAE and three from Turkey. It found that all eight samples were considered "defective". Five of the products sampled contained fats other than cocoa butter, which is not permitted in products labelled "chocolate" in Germany. The study also found that five samples were "unfit for consumption" due to contamination in the manufacturing process. Three samples were found to contain traces of undeclared sesame, usually as tahini. A screening also revealed high levels of mold toxins (aflatoxins).'
