### Jim's Corner ###
Hi All,
Despite only taking a few days off I am still catching up with things on the site - I will endeavour to answer your remaining comments by tomorrow, please bare with me.
I know I say this every week but there is some good stuff coming up this week ... Galler's first appearance on the site, new Ritter Sport spring variant, more Hotel Chocolat Easter goodies and many more. I have also been updating more of my old reviews with new pictures and some major instances of rewriting.
Do remember you guys can get 10% off Hotel Chocolat using the code JIMEGG10.
Have great weeks in the build up to Easter.
JIM

Keep updating your old reviews Jim. The photos look much better now lol.
Have you seen that Mars are relaunching Galaxy Moments?
I think they are a buttons copy. I am off to hunt some Lindt bunnies :)

What the hell is a Galaxy Senzi??
I just joined the Ritter Sport facebook group.
I do like Ritter but it is annoying how we don't get any of their new flavours. I swear we have had exactly the same ones for the last 5 years or so.

Justin if you look at the review you will see that it is another name for the Mars Delight (I am assuming you have seen this in the UK).
Glad the Senzi arrived in one piece Jim lol you can never be sure when they're a bit delicate! It is intriguing they put it under the Galaxy banner over there, in many ways I think it fits better under the Galaxy banner than Mars, I've never thought it sitted particularly well under the Mars name.
I just went off on a detour then on Jen's Kitkat Blog, very interesting stuff. All it does is make me jealous that we get such a poor range over here compared to other countries. It seems that everywhere has more choice than us, the japanese have all the wonderful Kitkat flavours, the germans have all the lovely Ritter Sport and Milka flavours. I've ordered stuff online before but can't really afford it, which is why it's such a blessing to find unusual foreign bars in cheap shops.
Rant over, sorry for going off on one.
Only one week left until easter woohooo
Lol you aren't wrong about the one a week 'chocolate is good for you' articles lol.
Thank you for another glorious week of chocolate reviewing Jimbob.
The magnum gold looks awesome. I am going to Tesco tomorrow to buy some. according to mysupermarket.com they are half price!!
David
Thanks - There are a few more I still want to do. I think I might get a few more done this week,
Daisy
uh huh! I heard about that a few weeks ago! I have my eyes peeled for them.
Justin
Galaxy Senizi = Mars Delight. That is what they call it in the far east.
Rachel
It is a shame they don't release more of their new flavours in this country. Who knows this could change soon.
Alan
Thanks for sending that along chap. I recieved the Twix Dark the other day but I left it at my parents house. I will probably do the same thing that I did with this senzi bar and add the photos and update to the old review. Thanks ever so much for sending this stuff along to me. I wish you would let me send you some monies.
Phil
Jen's site is cool huh!? I would have thought it would get boring reviewing just Kit Kats butgiven the massive variety in flavours they get in Japan I can see how she survives haha. I don't think we are going to have to be importing Milka for much longer. I can see a full scale take over coming very soon :D
Kim
Indeed! Looking forward to it are we?
Daniel
Haven't you heard :D it has antioxidants :D
Justin
My pleasure - keep visiting.
Steven
Damn I didn't see this until too late. I was in there earlier I would have picked some up myself :(
Thanks everyone
JIM
It's crazy looking through that KitKat blog. Especially when we have such a limited choice when it comes to KitKats (and especially when I'm so citrus-crazy).
