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?

Favourite used to be orange cream but my taste buds have changed so another vote for the PURPLE one

TerriBull Thu 06-Dec-18 20:33:25

The Purple one and it will win by a mile!

John Lewis now do a "select your favourite chocs" for Quality Street, but they charge through the nose for the made up tin.

I guess I need to go and sample all of them before I can comment!

Hard caramel ones.

Bleurgh to the orange and strawberry creams, we had a box of them at work the other day, and by the time I got to them that was all that was left!!

Speaks volumes...........

I love the coffee ones. I used to adore the coffee cream in Black Magic. It was a new moon shape but was discontinued. I don't think coffee can be a popular flavour.

I like the coconut one and the toffee penny.
I'm happy to finish off the box when you lot have eaten all the others.

The purple one fortunately DH doesn’t like them.

Greyduster Thu 06-Dec-18 19:19:21

Green ones for me, and the pink fudge ones. The strawberry creams are always reserved for GS! I remember one year an aunt who I was very fond of bought me a small round tin full of the round flat toffees. I wouldn’t have dreamed of telling her that I didn’t like toffees. Fortunately, my father did!

leave some for us Nandalot!

Purple, purple, purple!

MissAdventure Thu 06-Dec-18 18:42:10

I think the purple one is very overrated.
Nuts are my favourite food, but the ones in those are tiny, and the gloopy stuff is too runny.
I prefer the green ones.

Auntieflo Thu 06-Dec-18 18:40:17

Please could we all get together for a swop shop?
I can’t stand the orange and strawberry creams, ugh!

Auntieflo Thu 06-Dec-18 18:38:20

Oh Kittylester. I do luurve the coffee ones, if I can find them

gmelon Thu 06-Dec-18 17:50:52

Pink fudgey one.
Followed by toffee penny
followed by the whole tub

Kittye Thu 06-Dec-18 17:43:56

Or even Strawberry !

Kittye Thu 06-Dec-18 17:43:15

Fudge and Strwaberry for me ?

Buffybee Thu 06-Dec-18 17:15:14

Toffee finger for me, although I'll eat all of them, if I have the chance!wink

KatyK Thu 06-Dec-18 17:10:05

You can buy packs of some favourites, including the purple one, on eBay. Some John Lewis stores are doing the same I believe.

HootyMcOwlface Thu 06-Dec-18 17:02:49

Well I used to like the coffee ones, but as they’ve not been seen for a few years now, I go for the round caramel ones or orange creams.

shysal Thu 06-Dec-18 16:56:58

Purple one with green in second place.

They used to sell packs with all the same in these colours but haven't seen them recently.

BBbevan Thu 06-Dec-18 16:51:14

Orange cream for me. Much prefer Qualiy Street. Roses have put all their chocolates in little envelopes. Not the same at all. But that's the new Cadbury's for you

Grannybags Thu 06-Dec-18 16:40:02

Green triangle for me please! tchsmile

Mapleleaf Thu 06-Dec-18 16:18:30

Purple one and green one are my favourites. tchsmile
