When I was a kid, we would catch the train from Hornsby to Gosford. Mum would buy a block of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk at the station, and give us one square at a time. We would suck it so gently to try to make it last.

There is always some Cadbury’s in our house, in the crisper, among the cabbage and carrots.

I was always impressed by the Cherry Ripe ads where they pull back the wrapper and take a bite sideways so that the name is displayed for the camera. Who eats chocolate like that?

I always loved flakes growing up. I think it was the ads – women in white dresses strolling through gardens. They seemed more grown up than other chocolate bars.

I currently have a box of fundraising chocolates to sell for netball. My husband keeps forgetting to take them to work with him, so they lurk there in the kitchen tempting me. There are cherry ripes in there – dammit!

I love Cherry Mashes. They are chocalate balls with nuts on the outside and a cherry mash gooyee inside. I think they are made in the midwest, Missouri. They are yummy!

I always loved Freddo Frogs as a kid. Knowing they were my fave, this great guy I was dating in my late teens gave me 100 Freddo Frogs in a big gift box once. Married him He still buys me a Freddo every now and then, for old time’s sake…
