I like those merci chocolates

Agreed, they are quite nice but despite the French sounding name, they are made in Germany.
I have to say that I am not particularly partial to coffee flavoured chocolates.

They have a coffee flavoured one

Actually, there are about two dozen or even more flavours. I visited my friends a few weeks ago and they served a plate of Merci as one of the snacks. I found some which I have never tried before - amasing flavours which I can`t remember now.

I didn't think there were that many but I've tried quite a few. Wish I could buy just the coffee ones.

E Wedel Pawełek have a caffe latte chocolate bar but I've yet to find other coffee flavoured chocolates.

coffee chocolates are hard to find in the UK. Doesn't seem to be a popular flavour :(

Potwarz! :O

Why... :O

Besides coffee flavoured I also like the hazelnut ones (I think they're the ones with the green stripe) :) Probably the only Merci flavour I could really do without is marzipan (I just don't like marzipan in general).

marzipan

I forgot that.

Marzipan is one of m6 favourite things.

I love marzipan as well as coffee chocolates :)

Lidl do a marzipan log in dark chocolate. Sadly, it's usually only at Xmas and Easter.

marzipan

I wish it hadn't been mentioned since I can't get it here and have been thinking about it ever since.....

Oh God....

Oh God....

It's in different flavours too. In addition to the one in dark chocolate there's also a pineapple and rum marzipan log and a rum and raisin one.

The best ones though are the Lidl marzipan chocolate rounds. They come in orange, cherry, and plum and madeira flavours. They are to die for!

I'm sort of twitching now.

Back in England soon, and bang goes the diet...

Some shops in Poland sell chocolate covered marzipan. I think imported from Germany.

One thing I like in PL is all the different fla ours of halva.

That's the problem....

Full breakfast, Yorkshire pudding and Indian food.

To get back on topic, I always bring back a load of English confectionary to give as presents in Poland. Home is not too far away from the Licorice Allsorts factory and they have a really good factory shop.

I do like halva although not had it for years. Must try some next time I'm in PL.

Some of Lidl marzipan comes from Germany and some from Italy. I've just found that they sell dark chocolate covered marzipan eggs too.......

Licorice Allsorts

I haven't had those for years but I only really liked the blue bobbly looking ones.
