My OH is out at the darts doubles open today, he's just text me to tell me his workmate he has entered with has brought me dark chocolate teacakes 2 boxes of 🙂, he is such a lovely guy haha x
 
Ah, dark chocolate tea cakes. One a day keeps the doctor away. Tunnock's are a public service, not a food manufacturer. 🙂

He's come back to mine and told me he's left them down at his house :( never mind I have one in the cupboard and he assures me he will remember to bring them tomorrow 🙂 there's 12 so if I could send you guys one I would haha x
 
I haven't had one for ages Mike. Trouble is when I get near to them, their caramel wafers always leap into our trolley uninvited (and once we get them home it would be FAR too wasteful not to eat them) - so I tend to avoid that aisle when I can!
 
So I couldn't talk you into a Tunnock's snowball, then, Jen?

Yes they are dark chocolate teacakes but you get milk chocolate ones too, the dark choclate ones are just under 15g carbs per teacake, as for bournville I would personally say no as it's not actually that dark, 36% minimum cocoa solids and 13g odd carbs per serving, if you like dark chocolate you would be better off with the 85% stuff or 90% stuff - Aldi do 5 individually wrapped 25g bars of 85% which has 4.5g carbs per bar if there is anything you want to know about chocolate ask away I am a chocoholic after all haha 🙂 x
 
I have had aldi dark chocolate as it is just round the corner from me l am more a savoury person crisps l have had walkers baked ones have you had sky yoghurt from lidl l just bought strawberry one l used to look yoghurts but since being diagnosed in July have been. Confused which to have
 
In truth I'm a CDM man. Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating. My mantra. 85% chocolate is for poor benighted type 2s, who have to suffer 85% chocolate. I don't eat a lot in any event, so the occasional indulgence isn't a a big deal. Count the carbs, dial up the dose. Creme eggs are a bugger, mind.🙂

I get the skyr yoghurt mixed with honey from Tesco to have with my granola for breakfast, it's really good I can't make any comment of what effect it might have on you as I'm Type 1, advice is don't go for the lower fat yoghurts as they often contain more sugars, if memory serves me right the strawberry skyr is 11.8g carbs per 150g serving but I might be wrong so check your pot to be sure, is there anything else we could with x

I don't like the cream eggs anymore :( now a galaxy caramel egg on the other hand I could devour in seconds 🙂 and what do you mean suffer haha I've always loved dark chocolate and don't even remember how I acquired a taste for it actually, oh all this talk about chocolate reminds me I have a box of roses and forreror rocher I must get in to at some point 🙂 x
 
The Tunnocks I've got are milk chocolate and 14.9g carbs, so the same as the dark chocolate ones!
