Does Angel Delight come in chocolate?

That's been one hurdle I've hard a hard time overcoming: I miss jell-o type pudding snacks and obviously can't locate them here, most likely because I don't know what to look for.

Sadly, I don't think there really is anything absolutely comparable to little Jell-o puddings.   :P  Hartley's & Organix (in with baby / toddler foods) do Jelly/ Jell-o packs.  Possibly the most comparable is going to be Alpro (Soya) puddings: chocolate, caramel, dark chocolate or vanilla.  Once you get past the soya taste, they're actually not that bad.  You can usually find them in with the baking / tinned fruit stuffs (or whatever system your grocery store uses).   ;)  Also, Ambrosia do Chocolate custard which is quite nice, their custards are almost comparable to puddings.  They do a "Layers" thing, but I've not tried it yet.

Angel Delight comes in a few flavours: Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla, Butterscotch and Banana.  If you buy store's own brands they can sometimes get more creative, like Morisson's do a Mint Chocolate one!   :)

Will second the vote for the Alpro puddings.  They're delicious, even if you're not a keen fan of soy - especially the chocolate, which is a strong enough flavor to mask the soymilk in it. 
I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer.

They may well be out of date now, since the last post on this thread was written 6.5 years ago!

Haha. I'm glad someone unearthed this though. This was before my time and I enjoyed reading it. After all the difference of opinion thought this thread, I was shocked no one called out the fact that molasses and treacle aren't the same. At least certainly not for my baking purposes. I do miss the wealth of sugary syrups in the U.S.  I can't ever find dark corn syrup here for my pralines or alaga syrup to make my mothers baked beans, and golden syrup and treacle just don't cut it. Alas.

I'm fairly certain that I saw animal 'crackers' in either Lidl or Aldi.
