Who is hiding the coffee creme chocolate? Light hearted

I am a recovering chocoholic! Well trying to be. One of my favourite flavours has always been coffee creme You always used to get a coffee soft creme in boxes of chocolates. Now there are so many flavoured bars of chocolate you could eat them for breakfast, but dare to try and find coffee flavour you would need to go on a world tour and still be unlucky.

I’ve tried Canada, Australia, Great Britain etc., They even stopped coffee matchmakers and have made a salted caramel matchmaker flavour instead.

So come on, own up who is the coffee creme hoarder?

I think we need a arrange a coffee creme hunt across the world. Anyone want to join me?

Oooh Poppyjo you’ve started something.
I think flavours have gone all ? infantile and ?? American. All this salted caramel and double chocolate this and that.
Seriously though, YES MORE COFFEE but….does anyone remember a “box” chocolate with a liquid lime filling it was in the Milk Tray Bar as well. ? also…those massive chocolate boxes with pretty scenes on the lid such as kittens and cottages perhaps with a ribbon?

I’ve always loved coffee creams and yes it was lovely to find them in a box of chocolates. So many here love them and yet apparently they’re not popular.
Did anyone try McVities coffee caramel digestives? They were yummy but along with plenty of other stuff that I love, they were discontinued. (I’m the kiss of death to lots of things - so many of my “loves” are discontinued!) I have this pack left but it went out of date in December last year. However I will try them to see if they’re edible, and I won’t offer them to guests! ?

I'm sorry all but there is life after chocolate, you can be weaned off chocolate and guess what? You don't want it after a few months.

MissAdventure Thu 07-Oct-21 14:09:45

Why would you want to be weaned off, though, if you enjoy it?
Unless it is causing problems then there is no reason to give it up.

Thornton sold little bags of coffee creams. I used to buy one as a treat to share with my mum. Not sure if Thorntons are still
around. The one in our town centre closed recently.

Caro57 Thu 07-Oct-21 14:25:04

Thorntons online sell them

Oh the Black magic coffee cream was absolutely amazing! Beaches are ok but I like the cream to be soft and it's a bit hard!

Our local Iceland doesnt have Whitakers Coffee Creams- only the mint ones ??
Wish they did- I LOVE their coffee creams

Aldi's chocolate is very highly rated amongst chocolate lovers, and they make coffee flavoured, as far as I know.

GrannyHaggis Thu 07-Oct-21 15:30:11

Plenty of choice on Amazon!!

Musicgirl Thu 07-Oct-21 15:38:33

Coffee creams have always been one of my favourites too and I have long noticed their absence. Apparently they are the least popular flavour but not for me or other gransnetters by the looks of it. There are far too many nutty chocolates in my opinion so if they want to send a flavour to chocolate room 101 it should be the horrible dessicated coconut not coffee cream.

My DDH has his Coffee chocolate delivered monthly from Amazon, since I bought him a selection of coffee chocolates for his birthday. Tesco did an own make coffee chocolate bar but it has recently gone missing as most of my favourite things from Tesco. Lidl occasionally do a lovely Italian coffee ice cream but you have to be lucky to get it.

I hate coffee creams. I hate anything coffee flavoured except a cup of coffee. I know it’s crazy!

I’ve just bought a box of coffee chocolates from the factory shop as part of my friends Christmas present, she loves them! So you can definitely get them there.

Somebody mentioned Thornton’s but they’re not in business anymore are they?

Coffee cremes are always left till last along with orange cremes. DH usually has them when he’s desperate for chocolate.

sodapop Thu 07-Oct-21 16:53:16

When I was still working everyone brought their coffee creams in for me as I was the only person who liked loved them.
Someone upthread said they ate three aquares of chocolate per night, what great will power they must have.
I used to eat chocolate every night but have given it up completely. I can't just have a small amount.

L love coffee creams to. Ringtons do boxes of coffee creams but I think they are just up here north east England. I think our chocolates tasted better before they got took over. The walnut whips were hand done and had a walnut on. And boxes of milk tray and dairy box are not the same. They are continental in appearance and taste. Who can remember boxes of weekend

I read somewhere that coffee isn't a popular flavour in chocolates, cakes, etc. Makes no sense to me. I could devour some coffee cremes and a slice of coffee cake, right now.

allule Thu 07-Oct-21 18:11:15

I never tasted coffee cremes till I left home, as they were my father’s favourite and he had first pick.
I had to have caramels, as my parents both had dentures and couldn’t manage them.

Bennydian Thu 07-Oct-21 18:22:22

Don't like coffee at all! It's good old fashioned Violet creams for me.

As already mentioned, Iceland have Whitakers Chocolates Coffee Creams 125g a box for £1.
I always get my son these at Christmas. He loves them.

Ooh thank you. I will get some and put them away fro Christmas, I should be at target weight by then.

I once found some Coffee flavour Magnums in a discount freezer shop, they were delicious and I have never seen them again.

Claretjan Thu 07-Oct-21 18:58:26

Oh I remember Weekend and the tv advert for them! Chocolates and candies I think. I liked them but as a child in the sixties I liked most boxes of chocolates as they were mainly a treat at birthdays and Christmas!

Redrobin51 Thu 07-Oct-21 19:12:54

I still get the Thorntons version over the Internet for my dear friend as they are the only ones she will eat. I've also seen Whittakers in Iceland and pound shops.x

Morrison's caramel latte ice cream is delicious. Heavy on the coffee flavour and less of the caramel. Pretty cheap too. Gives me my coffee chocolate fix.
