Where did I put it?

Last time I did a big supermarket shop, I went to buy some chocolate and found that their own-brand chocolate bars (which are what we usually buy for use in cooking and also general nibbling) were half price. So naturally I bought several to keep in stock.
But when I got home I knew I couldn’t just put them in the cupboard because my partner would just nibble his way through them! And if I put them in the place where we usually keep our ‘overflow stocks’ he would undoubtedly notice them there sooner or later, when he went to look for a can of beans or something.
So I hid them somewhere I knew he would never look, nor have any reason to ever go and accidentally stumble across them.
Today I plan to make a chocolate hazelnut and plum cake as all our plums are suddenly ripening.
My problem now is – where is that safe place?

In your zest to hide them from your man you also hid them from yourself it seems.

It’ll be in the last place you look! 
Since Cadbury’s chocolate is no longer classified as chocolate, due to the replacement of cocoa butter with palm oil, I have looked elsewhere for ‘real’ chocolate bars. Tesco’s own doesn’t have palm oil, so I’ve been buying that for a while. Not only have I been buying it, I’ve been eating it too. Very tasty and cheap, which is a double bonus for me. 
Have you found it yet?

@Orson_Kart The plan to make the cake is the reason I was looking for it in the first place.
