View Full Version : New choccie Flakes
Has anyone tried the new Flakes yet? :)
They are called Flake 'praline' and ooooo they are yummy. I could cheerfully eat a case of them :eat: .
They have a coating of tiny nuts in chocolate over half the bar, so the chocolate is still just like a normal flake, but is really delicious with the nut coating :thumbs: .
(no good for nut allergy people though :( )

:bigeyes: Now then, what are you saying? a new Flake...surely it cant be better than the dipped one...sounds gorgeous!
I havent seen them round my way..but then again I am avoiding all food shops unless essential in a (rather futile) bid to lose some weight.. ;)
Anyone else in the environs of London spotted them yet???
but i did spot orange flavoured Kit Kat in Somerfield...but i dont like orange chocolate much so that wasnt a problem. :thumbs:
Dipped flakes are nice too, and this is just like that BUT - big BUT here, cos it only covers half (along the way, not cut in half, if you know what I mean :lol: ) and has little bits of nut in, it means that the flake is still really crumbly and oooo!!!!! :hihi:
I wish I'd never let middle master mazza have the last one now.....could've gone down nicely with my (low fat :innocent: )cocoa! :sad: :lol:

I've had one of these flake pralines, I wasn't impressed. :( I'm saving up for the box of Flake Moments! ;) :lol: Or maybe santa will treat me at Christmas.
Flake moments...?? I'll have to watch out for them - never heard of em!!
Aw shame you didn't like the new flake Holly - I think they are well nice - esp if kept in the fridge -nice and crisp then :thumbs: .
And definitely better than a 'snow Flake' :rolleyes: :) .

They've been advertising the Flake Moments boxes in the Corrie ad's. ;) :lol: They're just flakes/flake pralines/white choccie flakes chopped into one inch pieces - in a nice box for about £4! :lol:
Still no sign of either dipped or praline flakes up here, anyone care to send me some, in case I am missing out.... :devil:

:sad: poor eeyore, you are missing out! write to cadburys and demand a case be sent to you for testing!!!
who asked about Dipped Flake??? it was HN ... no its not really like Wispa more like Ripple...it literally is a flake covered in chocolate and is so nice yum yum!
i love the sound of those Flake Moments...I havent seen them down here as yet...and I dare not go and look!!!! :lol:

Excellent idea :thumbs: I'll get writing ........
I went looking for flake moments too today ( :blush: ) just for market research purposes, you understand!!
But there are none to be found :sad: .
Oh well.
Now, wasn't there a commotion about wispas? aren't they discontinued or really hard to get??
Wispas are gone :( They are now Cadburys Bubbly Bar (but not the same) :sad:
I emailed Cadbury who said they "may" bring them back sometime, but had no plans to at the minute :cry:
I love Wispas :thumbs:

:( Oh woe! :cry: :P
I saw Flake Moments in Woolworths just now, and have succumbed to buying, not one, but two boxes!!! :sad: :o :lol:
They looked absolutely lovely!!!!
Good for Xmas pressies...if they last until then :lol: :lol:
Got an email from Cadburys, praline and dipped flakes are so popular they are in short supply! :o (Moby, have you been stashing them again?)
And they wouldn't even send me one lousy flake to try :sad: :cry:
:wow: Cor eeyore!!! Good on yer for e-mailing Cadbury's :hihi:
Don't they send out little vouchers anymore? Awww.
So, Woolies is the place eh? I shall be in the vicinity of one next week and will be on the case. I wonder if I have any kindly relatives that I could tap for a box for Crimbo then, in case Woolies here has run out?! :whistle: :ph34r: :lol: .
I noticed that all the Flake pralines are gone from our supermarket now, we wuz lucky then!! B) .
I just don't know why Wispas would be discontinued. I remember clearly all the big advertising hype about the revolutionary way the chocolate had been manufactured. It was Mel Smith & Griff Rhys Jones that fronted the ad campaigns.
I really had a mega fad on them once :eat: :) .
:D Finally had a dipped Flake :)
Just happened to see them in my local shop yesterday (no praline ones though)
Gotta say they are pretty darned good :thumbs: and heavy when you pick them up to ;)

You'll never guess where I saw Flake Moments being sold today...
Staples, the office store :blink:
I'll have to pop back and buy a box to see what they're like. Yummmmmmmmmm! :eat: :lol:
mr ribbit B)
I've had a Flake Praline, Mazza you are right, they are to die for :D
Found them at the checkouts at Morrisons on Saturday, put it into the fridge for a few (long) hours, and then..... heaven :lol: Yummy :eat:

Bought a box and they were (note.. past tense) very nice. :D
You're all going to shout 'Heathen!' though... I like the normal ones the best. :blush: :lol:
Nice to try something different though. :thumbs:
Bonkers Mad!!!
01-11-04, 12:38 PM
Bought a box :bigeyes:
maybe you should post a wish list thru r & g's door. "no more sausages, please throw chocolate" :D

Is chocolate the most popular comfort food for ASB sufferers? :D

not me :rolleyes: i'm not all that into chocolate, especially milk chocolate. if i do buy a bar of milk chocolate it has to Cadbury's.
or dark chocolate bounty
or reisens
or raspberry ruffle
or dark or white toblerone
:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:
did i say i wasnt keen on chocolate? :lol: :rolleyes:

:hihi: @ BM
:flowers:
:lol: BM!! I am the same, honestly, I hardly ever eat chocolate but I was enticed by those flakes!!!
I am glad you enjoyed it eeyore :thumbs: and I do agree to put it in the fridge first! :D
Now, mr ribbit, there's nothing wrong with liking the normal flakes...but come on don't you admit that the 'dark chocolate ones with choc chips' on them were REALLY nice??? :upside_down:
Rosie Q, I think there could be something in your theory as chocolate does have a feel good component in it, so I would not be surprised if ASB suffers tend to eat more! (Chocolate is a topic that does crop up very frequently here after all :blink: )

:) I have just been in Woolies (just to make sure they still had Flake Moments) and I spotted something a bit weird...
Lime KitKat :blink:
What do you all think of that? has anyone tried one? it sounds a bit 8-X to me!

OK, they were very nice :thumbs: but still not a patch on the normal flakes. Eating flakes is an art form I think. I break it up into chunks while the wrapping is sealed, open it up, eat the chunks, then slide the crumbly bits into me mush. Yummmm.
Bt the way, I think it's Asda or Tesco that are doing a 'three boxes for the price of two' offer on Flake Moments right now. Just thought I'd mention it in passing. :D

I think I tried an orange Kit-Kat once - that was nice. Lime though... Oooer Modom, I'm not sure about that. :blink: :D

it's the only way to eat a flake ;) :thumbs:
Lime KitKat, i think i've seen them, i also think they are white chocolate, which, i think is what probably put me off. i only think that though, so could be completely wrong :blink: :lol:
now Lime and dark chocolate :rolleyes: mmm mmm :thumbs:

3 for 2 on Flake Moments???? cripes! get me outta here! I must buy!
oh, BM, do you think the lime KitKats are with white chocolate? even more 8-X then....

12-11-04, 05:02 PM
yep, i checked, they are white chocolate. well that's just discrimination as far as i'm concerned, if there is a white one then there should be a dark one :blink:
Dom't think I'd fancy a lime kit-kat, not with white chocolate anyway :(
Oooh must find 3 for 2 flake moments, I've a Tesco down the road (Asda is a hike about 20 miles though), I'll pop to Tescos tomorrow, anyone finds out first, let us know :lol:
Mr Ribbit
12-11-04, 06:56 PM
:( Just been to Tesco and phoned Asda. :crybaby: It was a special offer that has expired down our way so I had to go for the 3 for 3 offer where you buy lots and pay for all of them at full price. :blush: :lol: :hihi:
Maybe you'll all have better luck near you.
Ah well, never mind. We'll just have to drown our sorrows in Choccy heaven. :thumbs:
