Tensions are running high at HQ. So far we're debating the merits of the yellow toffee finger, the purple one and the green triangle. Shall we do an unscientific poll on here and decide which is the most popular?

Green triangle then the pink-wrapped fudge

Another vote for the purple one, closely followed by the coconut one. My DH and I are ideally suited- he likes all the creams and I like all the nut/toffee ones!

None, they are all horrible.

DH votes for the purple one.

Green triangle, followed by any chocolate toffee ones, not good for the teeth though. tchsmile

I prefer Roses.
They have the lovely hazelnut whirl.

It has to be the purple one or any of the others with nuts in.

Am I dreaming of did I read of a pack on sale called the big purple one with just these aristocrats of the chocolate world? I remember being so disappointed as a child if someone else nabbed them first though the gold wrapped toffee was a consolation prize.

Definitely the purple one but any is better than none.

Fudge one.

I am that person - I love the coffee ones!!! I get loads that way too.

humptydumpty Fri 07-Dec-18 12:02:15

purple followed by green triangle followed by coffee!

Hotel Chocolat has spoiled me for Quality Street and Roses. sad

Blue coconut followed by the purple caramel and hazelnut. Mmmmmm

Jane10 Fri 07-Dec-18 13:56:31

Is it me or are they sort of sicklier than they used to be?

Holidayenthusiast Fri 07-Dec-18 14:57:08

Another vote here for the purple one followed closely by the green one!

lemongrove Fri 07-Dec-18 15:02:46

None of them, all sweet and sickly, so much sugar in them and less chocolate.

lemongrove Fri 07-Dec-18 15:03:26

Paynes Chocolate Brazils are the way to go!

Audrie57 Fri 07-Dec-18 15:24:22

oohhh nnnooooo its the green Rectangle coconut its yummy

Joelise Fri 07-Dec-18 15:44:15

Purple ones , green triangles, then pink fudge, but they’re not as yummy as Lindt Lindor’s !

David1968 Fri 07-Dec-18 15:56:21

Would it be heresy to say I'm no longer that keen on any of the Quality Street chocs? I love chocolate but (like lemongrove) I find QS to be too "sugary". But if I'm offered a really good quality chocolate, with a high cocoa content, then that's a different story.....and I could scoff the lot.....

Nelliemoser Fri 07-Dec-18 16:54:35

None of them. These seem to me to be revoltingly sweet.

Jane10 Fri 07-Dec-18 16:58:56

Oh good. It's not just me then. Have they changed the ingredients for the worse or have we Grans just developed more sophisticated palates? (Clue: the last one!)

Shinyredcar Fri 07-Dec-18 17:03:42

The purple one for me, too, though I like the long chocolate caramel ones if all the purple ones have gone.

Mum loved the purple ones and the best Christmas present I ever gave her was one year when they made a box of just purple ones, with instructions to eat them all herself!

toffee finger followed by the purple hazel nut one rounded off by the toffee barrel if they still do it
