As a youngster I always liked the coffee creams that were included in many boxed selections. Over the years these seemed to be fazed out. Imagine my delight this morning, I had been gifted a small box of Black Magic by my lovely neighbour and to my delight there was coffee creams included in the selection.
What's your best or least favourite in a box of choccies?

Coffee creams , yes please. Same for me Doodle - my teeth can't cope with toffee or any hard centre [grin ]

I love coffee creams. Black Magic were always my mum’s favourite chocolates so I’d swap them for strawberry creams which I found too sickly.

I hated anything with coconut! I love coconut now, but still can’t eat the wrapped coconut sweets, I hated Bounty Bars too!

I’ll eat any, at a pinch.

Coffee creams made me cry. Especially when they looked similar to the coconut ones in Revels.

I'm a coconut person.

I'll take your Bounty Bars, Shropshirelass!

I like green triangles, Turkish delight, pralines, truffles, the dairy box wafer one.

Don’t like toffees, the fudge ones, hard caramels, the cream ones are sickly but can force them down when the rest have been devoured.

Me too, but the strawberry ones and the coconut ones would be a last resort.

I don't much like wafers either, nor the ones the Ambassador brings (?), um, Ferrero Rocher.
But any port in a storm.

I liked the cherry chocolates in Black Magic my dad used to buy them for mum. I like chocolate liquors and caramel hazelnut centres in Quality Street.

I love all the creams or fudge and that's it, no nuts or praline. I'm better off with Miniature Heroes or my real favourite, Raspberry Ruffles. They always remind of Woolies pick n mix, now that was a brilliant selection to choose from.

Oh Alioop I ❤️ Raspberry Ruffles.

ExperiencedNotOld - I agree about the coffee ice cream. I make my own. I'm happy to swap marzipan chocs for any other, especially coffee ones or Turkish delight. Classy chocolate is wasted on me....

AGAA4 Thu 22-Dec-22 16:27:33

I love coffee creams. Also nuts, marzipan but don't like any of the other cream chocs.

Katyj Thu 22-Dec-22 17:03:58

Oh I love coffee cream too. I used to love the toffee and mallow in black magic and the lime barrel in milk tray.

I'm a coffee cream lover. Not the fruit creams though. Black Magic are the best chocolates ever. Thankyou for reminding me to put them on my shopping list tomorrow.

GagaJo Thu 22-Dec-22 17:21:15

Lurve coffee creams. My first choice. Mmmm

gulligranny Thu 22-Dec-22 17:21:46

Coffee creams for me too, but as a general thing I don't really like filled chocolates - just give me the outside, not the inside. I particularly don't like fruit flavoured centres, so I'll save any strawberry creams for those who like them. Not a great coconut lover either, but I do like a Bounty Bar.

Oldnproud Thu 22-Dec-22 17:30:37

My least favourites were orange/strawberry creams, and Turkish delight. Coffee creams came in that list. I didn't eat any of them.
As an adult, I would now eat the coffee creams, but only when the ones I really like are all gone grin

Oldnproud Thu 22-Dec-22 17:31:27

... Coffee creams came next in that list ...

pandapatch Thu 22-Dec-22 18:12:33

I love coffee creams too, and most others, not so keen on fruit creams. By the way Black Magic were my mum's favourites!

saltnshake Thu 22-Dec-22 18:23:29

Love coffee creams, hate orange and strawberry creams and as for marzipan...

AskAlice Thu 22-Dec-22 18:29:12

I also love coffee creams. The very worst ones when I was a young child were ones that tasted of soap! I think they were ginger creams - anyone else remember them?

Greyduster Thu 22-Dec-22 18:33:41

My dad always used to buy me a small box of Black Magic when he took me to the cinema. I loved the coffee cream, but my out and out favourite was toffee and mallow. Dad liked the hazelnut one and the orange cream.

Chocolatelovinggran Thu 22-Dec-22 18:49:41

My lovely dad disliked soft centres in chocolates, so checked out each one in the box by squishing them with a finger ( no tiresome reading of the insert for him). I smile still when I get to eat from a box with no finger marks, and he's been gone for over a quarter of a century

Grandma70s Thu 22-Dec-22 18:59:06

Goodness, you’re as fussy lot. I like them all!
