Recently i tried to withdraw any sugar but I couldn't persist in this sacrifice, and now I am again a sugar slut. My latest discovery - caramel popcorn from Stork (the Toffifee company, while Toffifee are also delicious).

With the current price of cocoa impacting supermarket chocolate, I encourage everybody to check out prices at specialized shops. Iโ€™m buying excellent chocolates (โ€œbonbonsโ€) at the same price of store brand regular chocolate bars.

How about those dark chocolate bars you find in Aldi/Hofer?

Choceur is Fair Trade, so I hope/assume it's one of the better options.
