Flicked through the AO magazine and saw this, how does anyone end up with this much “leftover” chocolate?

  2. The perfect recipe for anyone who would consider an amount of chocolate equivalent to *two entire easter eggs* as mere ‘leftovers’?

  3. 400g is a lot of chocolate!! I store it with my left over cashew nuts and leftover marshmallows.

  4. This recipe calls for *675 grams* of chocolate/confectionery in total, what the actual fuck? I don’t think I’ve ever had that much chocolate laying about the house ever, let alone as bloody leftovers lol.

  6. What exactly is leftover chocolate? I’ve never heard or experienced this concept, no matter the size of chocolate package I’ve always treated it as 1 complete serving.

  7. I would rather just eat the chocolate, eat the cashews, eat the Easter eggs, use the butter & honey on toast, and throw out the marshmallows.

  8. Yes this is a thing with wine as well I have looked in every shop around and spent hours on the internet and have never found leftover wine I imagine left over chocolate doesn’t exist either

  9. Tttrryying toooo ttyyppe bbuutt mmyyy finngeeedrrs areee tooo chhjubbbyyyy.

  10. I guess in a similar vein as how the quickest way of becoming a millionaire is to start as billionaire!

  11. My mother-in-law keeps buying us the large bars of Dairy Milk. That doesn’t get eaten, as I prioritise the better Belgian chocolates, so I’ve got close to a kilo of “leftover” chocolate.

  12. Not uncommon for our two very young kids to get gifted enough easter chocolate for two dozen kids!

    Both sets of grandparents, extended family and friends, all very generous. Also our neighbours and even neighbours of the above give them easter treats.

    It is a nice problem to have, we do give some to food banks. Baking with whats left is a nice family activity

  17. If you’re wondering what 125g of marshmallows looks like, imagine a small car filled with polystyrene bits. Twice.

  18. Nigella has a recipe that calls for leftover chocolate muffins, and another that says use leftover champagne. Girl please, who’s leaving those things lying around for leftovers??

  19. Also, who the fuck is measuring out butter with a spoon?

  20. When we bought my son a 4.5kg bar of toblerone last Feb (2024). We have half a triangle left !

  21. I had a vague plan to make a chocolate house, then I ate some of the building materials expecting I would just replace them. Christmas is busy and I didn’t and now have a stack of the remaining ‘leftover’ chocolate.

  22. They don’t. This is classic bullshit to make things seem “frugal”.

  24. I think this is an after Easter thing.

    All the eggs etc made into something else….

    …for absolutely no reason whatsoever

  25. Pretty common to have that as leftover from chocolate fountain.

  27. Lef to ver? What is this precious? What is lef to ver?

  30. it says right there at the top, ‘chocolate lover’s dream’.

    can you call yourself a chocolate lover if you don’t have 400g leftover chocolate?

  31. No idea, but you’ve just reminded me I bought a 135g bar of smooth caramel galaxy at work today and didn’t get round to eating it. Just fished it out of my bag, thanks!

  34. My 1yo has gotten easter eggs from both sets of grandparents and they’re chocolate instead of white chocolate so she won’t have lots of it. Doesn’t make it leftovers, it makes it mummy’s.

  35. Chocolate doesn’t keep, has to be devoured immediately or it goes rancid probably. No one ever found out really….
