‘Definitely going to try this’ people say as a ‘chocolate expert’ shares a Toblerone hack for a mess-free experience
SOMETIMES nothing hits the spot like a piece – or few – of Toblerone.
The cult favourite chocolate bars, which were first created in the Swiss city of Bern in 1908, are known for their iconic triangle peaks and the lovely crunch.
For years now, people have been arguing how to break the triangle-shaped treat – while some insist you need to pull, others reckon it’s too much effort.
Luckily, one mum – who claims to be a ”chocolate expert” – has come to rescue and ended the debate once and for all.
Taking to TikTok, the savvy parent, Amy (@me_plus_3_nuggets), demonstrated how she and her family enjoy the delicious sweet.
According to the chocolate fan, foodies shouldn’t pull the mini triangle to break it off – instead, Amy advised to squeeze the two together.
The impact means that the piece will separate much ”easier”, the mum explained in her video.
Posting the game-changer of a trick, Amy admitted she was stunned by it too at first.
”I was amazed when I found out.”
Since being uploaded on the platform, the video has taken the internet by storm, winning Amy more than 415k views in just three days.
Dozens of fellow chocolate lovers flocked to comments to share their thoughts, with many thanking Amy for the discovery.
One person chuckled: ”We got my grandad the giant one in the 90s and he had to use a hammer.”
Someone else chimed in: ”What a great hack! Definitely going to try this.”
A third also couldn’t wait to give it a go, writing: ”Nahhhhhhh They r THEEEE hardest things to snap apart!!! Thanks!!!”
”Been doing this for years,” a fourth penned.
”I thought everyone knew this?” a fellow TikTok user wondered.
How to save money on chocolate
WE all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed on flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
Iconic flavour hitting stores
Chocolate lovers were delighted after spotting a rare Toblerone flavour is being sold again at Tesco, The Sun reported earlier.
The smooth golden caramel edition offers the iconic crunchy nougat of a classic Toblerone with the flavour of caramelised white chocolate.
The news was revealed in a post in the NewfoodsUK Facebook group alongside a snap of the sweet treat.
The golden caramel flavour was previously released as a limited edition product in 2022 and cost £6.26 for 360g.
Shoppers can now fid it at Asda for £4.00 – and you can buy all Toblerones for £6 from rival Tesco.
