All Lindt excellence, creations and Lindor blocks for $2
For those who missed out last week at
Woolies.
Keen to go home and find my Asian mum to stocking up at this 90% at this price, although knowing her she's still holding out for 99.95 (HSC was 5 years ago mum! I got into uni! Let it go!)
+1 Whitakers
Another +1 to Whittakers. Great chocolate, just miss the variety that you can get in NZ - Mmmm Hokey Pokey.
Whitaker's not bad but they don't have anything quite as dark as 85% or 90% cacao.
My partner and I have been enjoying the new Coco range by Cadbury as of late, give it a try if dark chocolate is your thing.
Cadbury is good but probably not as good as lindt in my opinion. I do like that the flavoured ones (mint, orange) are 70% dark for Cadbury rather than 50% of lindt though
I have my doubts about that 70% figure. Looking at the structure of say the orange variety, there is an outer coating which is probably 70% around a filling with orange which is probably not 70%. Whereas Lindt is reporting the overall cocoa solids percentage. What I did not like about the Coco orange is that the orange peel bits were dry. I haven't tried the mint.
Anyone else thinking that these are only worth $20/kg and not $40/kg?
Yep, when we buy some Lindt dark chocolate blocks at $2 or $2.5, it's like paying the retail price in France (without shipping cost -> made in France and without excessive gross margin).
Yep, rather buy the Lindor balls from Costco.
Yep aldi has European chocolate at less than $20 kg ……
Asian mum's sounds cool. Do they come up on OzBargain often?
In terms of chocolate grams/per $ I'm not impressed, but the quality of Cadbury blocks has plummeted in recent years, and Nestle choc has always been gross. So now Lindt blocks are the best option* for edible supermarket chocolate, making this a must-buy deal.
*: Whitaker's isn't bad either, but rarely goes half price.
