Of course I bought them despite my ‘healthy pledges’ of 2012 and savoured each one.
F. tried one too. Although he is not allergic or even intolerant to Dairy, he has been ‘reducing’ his dairy intake for health reasons. But he loves milk chocolate. Unfortunately, he only tried one sweet and refused more because, I quote, ‘milk free chocolate just isn’t worth it’ ... I however, reject this statement! Choices Caramel flavoured chocolates are very similar to my memory of milk chocolate. Sure, its not the REAL deal, and it has less of a mucus residue (wink), but when I eat them I genuinely feel like I just put my hand into a box of Roses and pulled out a caramel filled milk chocolate and to me, thats a damn good substitute. Of course, Booja Booja will always reign #1 but thats gourmet chocolate, which is a whole other kettle of fish.
My sister also agrees with me - but I suppose we have been Dairy Free for a loooong time and F. knows that he can technically have the real McCoy whenever he desires, which is completely unfair! But, as an outsider to the intolerant/allergic world, I thought his opinion worth a mentioning...

I am a big fan of these and I do agree that they are an awesome alternative to milk chocolate. I am vegan, so its true its been awhile since I have had real milk chocolate but much like you it sits well with my memory of milk chocolate. :)
I have also seen them in Nourish from time to time, the one in the GPO arcade. They tend to be quite expensive there however, ie closer to €5.
PS I also agree that Booja Booja reigns supreme - Hazelnut yum!! :)
ouch! €2.99 vs €5? I think that Tesco is going to win that one.. but I knew my sister and I couldn't be that off the mark - F.'s opinion has been deleted from my mind :) besides, he doesn't even like mint chocolate, so he's obviously wrong -ahhaha
got these for easter! amazing but cant remember where i got them :(
Hi Princessbuttons! They are amaxzing! it's true!!
Restore on Camden street sometimes carries them and some tesco stores carry them too - definitely the one on the Fairways in Rathfarnham area have them
