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?

I adore coffee chocolates too and before the first lockdown was able to buy coffee creme chocs by the bag from our local branch if Thornton’s but don’t know if they still do them. When I have a bit more time I shall read through the posts here to glean any info as I too crave my chocolate coffee fix.

Another lover of coffee creams here, does anyone remember the Revels advert where they played a sort of roulette game and the man used to be upset when he got the coffee revel - never understood that hmm

Yesterday, I popped into my local Iceland (Food Warehouse), and there on the shelves were boxes of Coffee Cream Chocs at £1,00 each, Purchased two for Xmas (assuming I can find somewhere to hide them successfully for the next eleven weeks!!!

Are you thinking of Thornton’s cappuccino chocolates Highlanddreams? Gorgeous. They still make them Poppyjo. I used to buy them by the bag. Nearly as good as their dark chocolate ginger.

I will leave you all the coffee creams and take the orange or strawberry creams. Especially if it is dark chocolate!

Whitakers also make coffee creams, they can be bought on Amazon or some of the coffee roaster shops.

My local farm shop sells Beeches coffee creams all year round, and you can buy them on Amazon.
Also, I have seen them in The Pound Shop, so definitely still around.
If somebody buys us a mixed box of chocs, Mr L always snaffles the coffee cream from both layers angry

you can get wonderful coffee cremes from Thorntons & they're lovely but unfortunately they're not as strong in coffee flavour as you used to get in the the Roses & Quality Street tins before they were cruelly snatched away. They were my favourite chocs in the tin along with the nut cracknells and I stopped buying when both were taken away.

I wouldn't say No to a coffee cream, but my favourite chocolate ' in the whole world!'
(as I used to say to my children) is the big purple one, lovely nut and soft caramel.

DS3 always buys me a pack containing only purple ones at Christmas.

I tell myself a couple of squares of Yorkie bar have a beneficial effect Kali!???

Not me for sure. I just love chocolate, but it has to be 70% dark, and NO creams, yuk.

Coffee and dark chocolate is a delicious combo though. My favourite currently though is Dark 70% Lindt with a touch os sea salt. 3 squares every evening - and it is actually good for your cholesterol. Hurrah.

I loved the coffee creams, them my eldest son developed a taste for them! I mean you would do anything for your children but sacrifice a coffee cream-there are limits (he was good at sneaking in there before me) Coffee cream war was declared!

Twas delish!

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 06-Oct-21 12:32:23

Ooh, I missed that!

Blinko Wed 06-Oct-21 12:30:46

Does anyone remember some years ago, Kit Kat was trialled in a cappuccino flavour? Bring it back, I say!

I too love coffee flavoured chocolates but not had them for a while. Carte D'or do gorgeous coffee ice cream though at it's often half price

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 06-Oct-21 12:22:41

I promise I’m not in the ice cream aisle tanith. It’s those pickers who insist on finding it for me.

Nanna58 Wed 06-Oct-21 12:22:00

I loved the coffee creams! Zoejory quick lift the lid would you, this bin surfing is hot work !!!!?

Shelflife Wed 06-Oct-21 12:16:28

Coffee creams were my favorite too , never see them now !

Zoejory Wed 06-Oct-21 11:08:08

They're in my bin

tanith Wed 06-Oct-21 11:07:09

Lucca I know I could probably order them but it’s nice to just find one in a mixed box if I’m offered one and that never happens now.
Germanshepherdsmum STEP AWAY FROM THE ICE CREAM AISLE!!! ?

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 06-Oct-21 10:45:26

Oh dear tanith, I fear I may be causing a shortage of Tesco coffee ice cream!
Does anyone remember the Coffee Crisp bars in the 60s? I loved them - then they were no more ...?

Sarnia Wed 06-Oct-21 08:42:02

I have inherited my Mum's love of coffee creams. Salted caramel seems to have overtaken it these days. I don't think I would be a very good hunter as I would be eating the evidence.

Lucca Wed 06-Oct-21 08:16:41

Ever tried google ?!

tanith Wed 06-Oct-21 08:11:31

Coffee chocolates have always been my favourite too, I’ve not seen one for a very long time, even walnut whip did a coffee flavour once upon a time but no more. seacliff I can’t get that Tesco coffee ice cream any more my Tesco just never have it anymore ? we should have a BRING BACK COFFEE FLAVOUR CHOCOLATES campaign ?
