    Getting jr’s stocking fillers ready over the last month or so, but it’s missing that festive staple, chocolate coins. Ever since 1st week of Dec there’s been nary a choco coin to be had. I’ve tried Sainos, Tesco, Waitrose, M&S, Boots, Co-op, WH Smith, Poundland, Iceland, sweet shops and newsagents.

    Nada. Has the Brexit-related currency fluctuations meant that the Sterling/chocolate coin exchange rate has tipped too far, slowing the liquidity of the seasonal treat?

    Probably in my wife’s wardrobe if the last 15 years are anything to go by. Sorry.

    Simply melt chocolate on to actual coins. What could go wrong?

    Co-op has/had them but it’s a few days before Christmas so probably sold out.

    Can you get any of these that are made of actual chocolate, rather than that brown muck all the ones I’ve ever had have been made of?

    Apparently you can, at least you can pay a price at which the chocolate better be decent

    You know i was thinking the other day… “I remember when cheap chocolate coins and footballs etc were **** horrible like even as an ignorant wee sweetie muncher i questioned why was eating the horrible things. I wonder what happened because nothing is that bad anymore”

    Then my other half brought back a box of heros. **** me what happened to them?! Never as good as celebrations* but jesus theyre bad*

    *Fudge the obvious exception.
