Full size Bounty fears

[markemark]

I've had pretty much the same bars of chocolate for decades now (Twix, Mars, Snickers, Star Bar, Drifters (don't get me started on how these are no longer being made as that is a 3,000 word essay in itself)). I want something this afternoon. But I'm feeling adventurous and want something different. Every Christmas we get a Celebrations tub and it's always the Bounty mini sweets that are left so I tend to eat them and quite like them.

My fear is that this won't translate to a full bar. What differences can I expect? Am I being reckless?

Just buy a plain one if they still do them

Buy one, cut it up into small pieces and you have instant Xmas celebration...

I dont believe they have the same chocolate to filling ratio?

Go mad and get a Cabana.

Spoil yourself.
You can get coconut ice cream. Buy some of that, decorated it with chopped up bits of Bounty, or a full bar 99 style.

Coconut is lovely in curry, or as a fresh drink of Madafu (delivered fresh from the coconut which has been hacked open on the beach by a guy with a massive panga knife - preferably not at Eastbourne).

In all other forms is it very much digusting an 'acquired taste'.

No, unfortunately. I used to love them too, which is why they came to mind.

Its alright the box will be 25% smaller and 15% more expensive anyway.

Go on more of an adventure try a cherry ripe. Not easy to find though unless like us you've contacts in Australia that send them.

I like both tbh despite the different ratios of choc to coconut.

Big one is much more coconuty - which I rather like.

Plain is even nicer as it is less sweet - bit of a rarity though.

Plain chocolate Bounty is properly nommy!
