For all my UK buddies I would like to know your thoughts on choci philly.

When I first tried it I didnt like it, there was an odd taste after it and i was very disappointed but i perservered and now i cant get enough of the stuff!

My preference is on crackerbread or warm toast.....................so how do you eat yours?

    Oh it's a delight. I eat it off my little finger, straight out of the tub... I get the mini 30g pots so I can't get carried away, and my eating method makes it last longer! It's how I eat Creme Eggs too... chomp the top off and scoop all the insides out. Anyone else? :D

    I've been forced to buy the big tub as no small ones, now I'm not sure portion control exists with Philadelphbury's... :embarassed:

    I have tried a great number of ways and my absolute favourite is spread on a toasted cinnamon and raisin bagel :heart:

    Chocolate and cream cheese in one tub?

    Shouldn't that be about a gazilion calories a spoonful?

    apparently if you warm it up a little bit in the microwave you can dip fruit in, never tried it but seems a good idea

    I love it! On Toast, with some ice cream or even on it's own xxx

    I had it on toast yesterday, it's not for me. Not too bad while you're eating it but that after taste is grim and it lingers :sick:

    86 cals for 30g serving! YUM

    I have it on a choc chip snack a jack, or salted rice cake or just spread on banana!

    Nutella is definitely the way. I cannot cheat on my Nutella!

    I bought a pot whilst on holiday last week, it tastes like pureed chocolate to me, nothing odd about it. I don't eat it though, it isn't a favourite and that means I don't usually bother with it lol. I had it on toast.

    I love it! It's low cals as well, assuming you stick to the portion sizes!

    I've heard spreading it on a Hob Nob or other generic oat biscuit makes it like a chocolate cheesecake! NOM!

    I think it just tastes like very smooth chocolate spread.. Nice though!

    I have mine on melba toast as they are only 13 calories per slice and each 30g tub (86 cals?) covers a pack of 6 toasts.. Tasty snack that cures a sweet tooth I reckon and its only 164 cals :)

    It tastes gross.

    If you want chocolate eat chocolate (sensibly) because there can never be a substitute! (Although Nutella is rather nice)

    I haven't tried it yet but I've bought the little pots, I'm a bit hesitant for the dumb reason that I don't really like cheese, although I'll have light cheeses like philly in small doses.

    But from all the people that have said it's like chocolate cheesecake I think I'll treat it like a chocolate spread and have it on hot toast.

    that sounds like a plan :-)

    i put mine in with choc protein shakes, makes them really thick and delicious almost like icecream :-)
