to Green & Black's Almond Chocolate. (The normal one, not the deluxe, dark version.)

I brought a kilo from Britain, but it's just too easy to eat a whole bar pretty much at once. I usually can't eat that much chocolate in one go, but with the Green & Blacks Almonds stuff it's easy, as there's so many almonds in there - probably around 40% of the bar is just almonds. And the almonds are lightly toasted and still in their skins, so they taste, well, more 'almondy' than they usually do, and the chocolate - milk chocolate with a slightly higher than normal cocoa content - for some reason tastes a bit like honey, yet at the same time *very* chocolate-y... and it's just a match made in heaven. Seriously. My favourite chocolate ever. I've tried a number of almond chocolates here in Germany, but nothing can compare. I should have left some money with friends in Britain so they could send me the occasional care package...

I blame my gaining nearly five kilos when I was living in Britain largely on that chocolate. By the end of my Birmingham stay I was going through it at a rate of something like one bar per day.
