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?

Oh Alioop I ❤️ Raspberry Ruffles.

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.

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

I’ll eat any, at a pinch.

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

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.

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

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.

CazzJazz Thu 22-Dec-22 14:32:22

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

ExperiencedNotOld Thu 22-Dec-22 14:29:06

Funny - it seems many that like them don’t like Turkish delight and vice versa. Is this a tastebuds thing? I live proper Turkish delight but cannot stand the chocolate coated version and adore anything coffee flavoured. Coffee ice cream is a dream.

Doodle Thu 22-Dec-22 14:23:23

No not coffee creams. I didn’t like those at all. Orange or strawberry cream I love, Turkish delight, pralines.
I did love toffee ones but my teeth don’t. 😊

No 'cream' chocolate of any kind, yuk! Yes, nut or praline, and dark, 70% REAL chocolate (no palm oil, but proper cocoa).

paddyann54 Thu 22-Dec-22 13:45:40

I love coffee creams ,its hard to find good ones though some are sickly sweet .We used to be next door to a sweet shop who sold the best coffee creams I've ever had when they closed I was a bit upset.
Friends would always pick up a quarter in a wee paper bag every time they visited us ,it was just as well I did loads of exercise back then.Any recommendations for good ones would be appreciated

Coffee creams were my favourite, but they seem to have disappeared. But I did find these on Amazon. Am I tempted ??

CraftyGranny Thu 22-Dec-22 13:33:18

I ordered a box of coffee creams from Hotel last year for my sister. She loves them. You can order your favourites from there.

I don't like the soft ones, apart from Turkish delight. Not a fan of Belgian or praline either

sodapop Thu 22-Dec-22 13:17:25

I loved the coffee creams as well ParlorGames when I was still working my colleagues would bring in all their coffee creams for me - heaven.

Sardinia2020 Thu 22-Dec-22 12:41:51

I like nut or praline ones. Can’t stand orange and strawberry creams. Would never eat them even I really fancied some chocolate. Don’t mind coffee creams for some reason though.

ParlorGames Thu 22-Dec-22 12:37:14

Canny move HPQ wink. Actually, theres not many chocolates that I don't like.

HousePlantQueen Thu 22-Dec-22 12:24:36

As a child I soon worked out that as nobody else in the family liked coffee cremes or butterscotch I would get them anyway so I just enjoyed my share of the "favourites" and then got the unwanted ones anyway, as extras!

Gingster Thu 22-Dec-22 12:23:53

Love coffee creams, soft caramel, Turkish delight . Dislike orange, strawberry, marzipan , nuts

Gymstagran Thu 22-Dec-22 12:19:57

I love the coffee ones, hate the strawberry.

tanith Thu 22-Dec-22 12:14:52

I'll happily have all the coffee ones along with turkish delight and green triangles.

gillgran Thu 22-Dec-22 12:14:40

I've not had (or seen) a coffee cream chocolate for years, I can't remember seeing Black Magic either.
I'm looking forward to any sort of chocolate this Christmas...!! wink
