They wont dare mess with the recipes :twisted:

Hersheys I used to like as a kid, now my palate is "grown up" I think UK chocolate is probably the best in the world. Cadburys that is. The dark bournville is the best dark in the world :mrgreen:

If you like Dark, coffee-ish choclate.. try german scho-ka-kola..
It's a strange taste.. and you have to "accept" it to like it, but it really tastes great..

Hi Ted

I would love to try it, ive heard of it. Its chocolate with attitude :D

Can I get hold of it?

Does it say each pack has as "much caffeine as a pot of coffee" or something like that? I want some!!

4 pieces = 1 espresso.. I believe there are 32 pieces in a tin..

It's available in German supermarkets, but I'm not visiting Germany anywhen soon.
Maybe one of the German members can hook you up with it.. they cost about €2 per tin

It reads "gives power, makes happy - The fast energysource" (happy is a bad translation, but I don't know how to properly translate it.. cheerful?)

It say´s "macht munter", means "cheerful" as mentioned, but you can say "alert" and "awake" too.

Yep - you are right.
Switzerland is the chocolate heaven!

When ever being close to it - it´s just 4 hour far, we drive over the border to buy there.

My father inmediatly liked the swiss bars (he's a SIG junkie.. ) can you get them in normal german supermarkets aswell or only in Switzerland? I'd really like to get some, but I can't recall finding them at the chocolate rack in the REAL..

It´s like Nawt said, you can get them at their online shop, but several items are sold out always and Switzerland isn´t famous for being cheap... :cry:
