    I've already had my say about coffee sweets, but the picnic pimp, which although an impressive pimp, reminded me of the only thing worse than coffee sweets...SWEETS WITH BLOODY RAISINS IN! YUK! Raisons/dried fruit make me wanna vom [Vomit] ! They should be banned for ever.

    Anyone else got any ingriedients they believe shouldnt come within 10 miles of choccy?

    Chilli. Whoever thoughtt of that was just trying to be clever. Wrong, all wrong.

    Snackbabe - Chilli and chocolate, if done right, is amazing. Though each to their own I spose.

    Worst combination EVER has to be chocolate and garlic. BLARGH!!

    Prove it dannyboy!!! Im sorry, but I just cant conceive of any possible way it can be done 'right'. I need examples, dates, times, etc...Sends a shiver down my spine and not in a good way [Vomit]

    Chocolate and garlic?? I didnt realise this had been done! This is serious thinking outside of the box!

    I though of another one. I'm really not a fan of alcohol in chocolate. NOPE, sireeeeee!

    It all depends on your taste, but very bitter dark chocolate with the right amount of chilli is nummy. Not as a sweet though. Not savoury either though, hmmm. It's not really classable. N garlic and chocolate is apparently one of the best scientific combinations for taste. But personally I think it's plain nasty.

    Chocolates with goey orange or lemon stuff in them!
    And turkish delight
    And nuts
    And insects... although I've never been unfortunate enough to try them, wouldn't want to either!
    And just anything orange flavoured, like the orange bit in jaffa cakes! I always have to eat around it and just throw that bit away, yay for the new blackcurrent jaffa cakes. [Very Happy]

    turkish delight. SO WRONG! NOTHING REDEEMS THAT NOTHING!
    also alcohol can be a bit rough.
    Although coffee, gooood, orange: goooood, raisins and nuts: goooooooooooooooooood. I eat pretty much anything tho. just not turkish delight . *shudders* [Embarassed]

    raisins in chocolate are pure wrong! (I feel very strongly about this)
    They also look like rabbit poos. eugh.

    I disagree heartily. I think that a good fruit and nut bar can just hit the spot sometimes.
    Also what about cereal bars when the put chcolate on them? What is your stance on that?

    also wrong
    cereal is cereal (and that means no chocolate). Cereal bars are a waste of space. I was once seduced by Special K bars but thankfully that was sometime ago. phew.
