Chocolate fix during the lockdown

The lockdown over more than 2 months depleted our chocolates and what I thought was a replenish-able stash of Meiji Blacks was also reduced to a couple of bars. I preserved those bars as there suddenly was none of these at the supermarket shelves where I got our groceries. There were dark chocolates to be found but we have tasted many of them and their quality just didn't satisfy. Fortunately, there was a fallback in the form of Toblerone. Their dark chocolate variant didn't state the % of cacao but we enjoy this chocolate including derivatives like the Toblerone walnut torte from Mom & Tina's.

Fast forward to the present and we have replenished our chocolates with orders from Healthy Options and the return of Meiji Black to the supermarket shelf. There will, however, be no air travel for us for a while so that basically minimizes the chances we can get our chocolates abroad or the airport duty free shops. That means it will probably take time before we can get some of our favorite chocolates unless these become available online.
