LOL thanks ed...still doesnt get you off the hook for not sharing a bday cake...and now it looks like I gotta start a happy bday thread?? or is some nice person gonna do that.......

those profiteroles look yummy farangsay!! and mmmmm to get them with icecream would be yummy yummy yummy!!

reminds me of some shop that used to be in siam square that claimed they did these really good icecream centred apple pie-like filling. they claimed the recipe was from australia. they shut down 3 years ago though....i cant understand why they went bust cos it was sooooooooooo good!!! it was on the ground floor of the vietnamese restaurant (which by the way later had to move out of siam sqaure too)

but yes back to the bliss of chocolate.......mmmmmm my dose for today.....ritter sport krisp

You mean this one...?????????

what the he11 is a knusperkeks ?

what a weird looking word.

thats good too...but I actually mean this one......

Corn Crisp Ritter Sport

the other fav ritter would have to be the yogurt ones

i like ritter sports DARK chocolate mmm

i ate plenty of them

never tried yogort or corn crisp but looks good too..

heres the Ritter Yogurt one.....

they are really good!! not for those who cant handle sweets though

knusperkeks...have to ask the german experts...but I guess some reference to cake (biscuit?) have tried those....not as good as the Corn Crisp.

they also have some nice white choc ones....

interestingly...they have a somewhat new (more than a year now).... chocolate cream one..which to most other chocolate maker would have been standard offering?

ok so whos bringing me these from australia???

Tim Tams - the real ones not those disgusting imitations from Indonesia to found lurking in 7-11 stores around the country waiting to entrap unwary Australians seaching for home memories.

Next time I go back or if I go to the Rim Ping markets I will pick up a pack for you. They have an expanding selection now with Black Forrest, Kahlua, Tia Maria, and Caramel. The caramel ones now come with a warning becuase they contain enough sugar to kill a humming bird.

I prefer the Dark Chocolate ones but rarely succumb to the temptation.

Tim Tams and for AussieThai to buy a carton of 20 packs Buy Tim Tams

All this religious talk has made me want to have a last supper..

for you MiG16..

Very good! Imagine chocolate for your last supper...

God grant me the chocolate

To accept the chocolate i cannot buy

Courage to change the chocolate i can

And the wisdom to know the difference.

God grant me the chocolate

ohh and heres the strawberry flavoured ones....cant say its my favorite though....but well it IS still chocolates...so Im not exactly complaining either

will also post pics of some other ones I mentioned previously but didnt upload pics.....so finally the pics are arriving to give u visual temptation?

ok so here goes..... starting with the Ghirardelli specialty chocs.......got these from the US courtesy of a friend...not seen them around these parts though....but available via online order I think........

these were special edition around the Christmas time I suppose...Eggnog, Cinnamon Almond, Peppermint Bark......Im usually not a mint choc person...but these ones were REALLYYY good!!

Chocolate Uuuurrggh!!!

Give me roast potatoes and gravy any day!

Just noticed this thread and I'd love to compete with you as Choc-o-holic Champion of the world, MiG16. Of course, we could dispense with any in-fighting and simply crown ourselves Choc-o-holic King and Queen and live happily ever after!

My favourites:

Nutella. What a perfect blend - hazelnuts and chocolate! Here's a recipe link.

Geman chocolate cake. Must be the real deal.

Frango Mints. You mentioned mint chocolate doesn't do much for you. But I believe it's only because you've never had the opportunity to devour this local (Chicago) product. I've yet to find a chocolate mint that can compare.

The pilfered recipe:

Frango Mints (Copycat of the ones they sell in Chicago at Marshall Fields!!)

From: Christine,.IA

12 ounces of chocolate

1 tsp peppermint extract

1/2 c. margarine

1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

Melt and cool chocolate (if it seems to think after mixed, you can add more chocolate or powdered sugar) Cream together margarine, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add cooled chocolate and a few drops of mint into the creamed mixture. Pack into an 8-inch square pan. Cool and let set. Cut into squares.

Chocolate covered marzipan. I was raised on this delicacy.

Nougat. Another childhood favourite.

Dove bars (preferrably with chocolate ice cream and the original dark chocolate coating). Ice cream and chocolate - another match made in heaven. I must make a historical note here regarding Dove. Dove was originally a local product of Chicago's southside before it was bought out by M&M/Mars. Those original Dove bars were superior to the ones marketed all over the world today. I used to enjoy them as a kid when they were available only at the Dove Candies ice cream parlour.

Dark or bittersweet chocolate. I'll take that over milk choclate any day. Too many good ones to list, and most have been already.

Chocolate mousse.

Well, I'd like to, and could, keep going but am feeling an irresistable impluse to head over to Tesco/Lotus for one of the above.

BTW, I absolutely loved the chocolate covered delicacy offered by Austhaied (worth a reprint, don'tcha think?).

Austhaied, can you quote me the shipping price?

dear dear Tip.....

welcome to my world glad to have a fellow chocaholic

and honestly contrary to all my pretense about not sharing chocs, Im actually very good at sharing but I also just like others to give me more and more so that I can then use those to share with others

not tried that minty thing, but as said in my previous post, the peppermint bark flavoured one by ghiradelli is really really good

the worse mint ones Ive had is from cadbury's YUK!!

chocolate and marzipan...hmmm thats almost typical german....are you German?

and yes Nutella!!! MMMMMM the world's best creation Id say.......makes me fall in love I always have a jar at home, and sometime another at work an easy all time snack and /or meal ....good on bread but irresistable on its own...once u start u cant stop

haha and that choc covered lady....I found it on the internet a few months back...almost put in on my profile to pretend its me....but figured Id get the boys too excited

anyway for today I offer you this other specialty from Italy...the place that makes me fall in love with its every aspect

One of the best Germany has to offer. I was once in Lübeck and had the opportunity to feast in Niederegger's shop of delights. Does anyone know where I can get marzipan in BKK?

BTW, yes, I'm German. Please don't tell anyone. People might think I know Raro.

a few supermarkets have marzipan.....Ive seen at Tops, and also Villa

and yes Niederegger mmmmm i was given a box of praline recently.......mmmmmmmmm vewy nice. its all gone now though....but I could quickly take a pic of the empty box and post it here if u want

ok heres the pic of the pralines....not empty...but thats only cos Tippaporn is being a cheapskate and sending me only a virtual one

Im waiting for the real edible one now

Just been to Singapore and picked up 10 X 240 grams of Cadburys assorted dairy milks. They only cost 70 baht per pack..Glad i can't get them here really..

Ed!! u meanie!!! wheres your compassion huh huh huh

70baht and didnt bring any for me??? you realise how much they cost here in thailand?? grrrrrr

i wouldnt mind the Black Forest one...but from the collection you have there....lemme take another look......Ill have the crunchie and the topdeck......although marble is better than topdeck....will leave the dream white for you...a bit too sweet even for me.

now how are you gonna deliver them.......

PS. especially on a day like today.....getting chocolates would help calm me down.....
