Dairyfine Mint Créme (from Aldi)

Ingredients: dark chocolate (cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, soya lecithin, vanilla), sugar, glucose syrup, invert sugar syrup, peppermint oil.

It’s rare that the Allergy Brothers can actually eat normal (or better still bargain) priced food. I was all excited about finding this. Big tried a nibble, Little sniffed it, and then they both discarded the “toothpaste chocolate. ” Their loss was definitely my gain. This is basically a big bar of after eight. It’s quite sugary (four different mentions of sugar in the ingredients! ), but I actually enjoyed this. A square or two of this when I was starting to flag was a real lift. The clear mint flavour was a nice shot of adrenaline mixed with the sugar hit and dark chocolate hit. A must for exhausted parents, cramming students and shift workers.
