Picked up some mini pots of choc today from Tesco. Gu ( 2 dots above u
They are gorgeous. A little taste of chocolate heaven. Way over priced but the pots will double as seedling pots for spring/summer 08. Or if you're Ashley B they will be handy little paint pots.

They only seem to come in packs of 3 at my local tesco express. Which is a shame. 'Cos as i was about to tuck into mini pot #3 it was snatched from my hands.

Damn right they're overpriced! They cost a fortune, £3.50 or something right?

I've conveniently lost the receipt but yeah about the 3 quid mark. 'im indoors will go mental at the price of 'em. Three mouthfulls of choc mousse at about a quid a heaped teaspoon. Pretentious crap is what he'll say. They're tasty though. Very very tasty.

The choc is abit like the sauce that comes with choc button corner desserts. But alot nicer.

Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!

Just sent im indoors to tesco for more. He's gonna go mental, but once he tates this he'll forgive me. It goes frothy and tastes so creamy.

If you have a taste for overprised chocolate try those new Cocopia things you can buy in tescos (I think only the large ones), they're nice blocks of chocolate - it comes in all sorts of different flavours.

Paul potts is murdering me on itv and Mr H, ever the comedian thought Mocha flavoured cadburys highlights with Tesco finest dunkable shortbread would fill the GU spot. Typical bloke, comes back with everything that wasn't on the list. The jury is stillout on the shortbread mocha chocca thing. Waiting for the kettle to boil.

I'm slowly beginning to get into this wintry xmas feelgood mood. It takes a bit of climatising for us down this neck of the woods.

Delicious though Cocopia is, their web site looks like it was written by William Hanson on steriods, with all its:
It would be unforgivably provincial to deny one’s tongue the eclectic and frequently exotic fusion of flavours that distinguishes Cocopia Chocolates.
Darling, you simply must sign up to win tickets for the Romeo & Juliet ballet at The Royal Opera House. One would be such a ninny not to!
One should always think delightful thoughts. Recalling splendid soirées with one’s friends, hols in Mustique, or even ‘roughing it’ in one’s first loft apartment - all raise a smile, but none compares to the happy frisson prompted by divine Cocopia chocolates.
It's either a sick, sick joke - or deadly serious, which would make me their target audience... disburting.

Whoever wrote it also has a problem with plural agreement ("flavours that distinguishes", "none compares" etc). Which is kind of ironic, given how pretentious their copy is!

Anyway, buy some.
