Okay girls (and especially LynW :), here's VERY good news...

i'm not a fan of dark chocolate either, i eat far too much white and dairy crap.

has anyone got a recommendation of a easy going dark chocolate that i can start on so i can ween myself off the rubbish?

Try Belgian chocolates, in fact any non-UK European make of chocolate as these dont have so much sugar in and more cocoa in.

After that I would recommend the green and blacks. Though the 70% cocoa one probably wont grab your taste buds immediately but it is actually pretty yummy when you adapt to the bittersweet taste. And its about the only chocolate allowed on a low GI diet too [according to my books] so it must be healthy stuff

will give it a go then!

my dad bought me some of this stuff as he lives in Grenada, but i don't want to crack it open until I can appreciate it properly

Yup, Green and Black's Milk chocolate is your best starting point - though I've only just tried their 'Maya Gold' - oh man that was nice to just let melt in your mouth. It's really dark chocolate but not bitter at all as it's also got orange and spices in it. It's like the mulled wine of chocolate.
Even so I can only manage about four bits - not bars before I get misquoted - I love the stuff but just don't eat much of it.

Just a post that might make all you girlies happy.

Noticed last night on the side of the 4pint of milk we have, that Tesco seem to be doing an offer. There was a little token printed on the milk label for 50p off Green & Blacks.

Not sure on the exact details, like specific products or length of offer, but it was definately there.
