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?

I'm a lover of the fruit creams and I never got one this Christmas. All you haters throw them my way grin

I'm sorry that Bounties are being scrapped from Celebrations . They were my favourites lol !

Cant stand turkish delight either .

i too love coffee creams, my favourite filling but there are not many chocolates or ice cream that you can get in coffee. The salted caramel icecream seems to have taken over.The best coffee icecream at the moment is tesco finest cafe au lait, I find. would prefer a bit stronger but at least there is a coffee one.

I love very dark chocolate with nuts but also a good quality coffee creme. I bought DH a small box of Charbonnel and Walker Whisky truffles for Xmas wow they are nice!

Although not a chocolate lover, or a coffee drinker usually, I do like coffee chocolates. We’ve got caramel coffee matchmakers, yum!

Turkish delight or chocolate covered prunes which I can’t seem to buy anywhere. They are delicious.

Don't like Turkish delights or any with coconut.

Coffee creams every time too, *ParlorGames’..I mourn their removal from various chocolate offers.

A few weeks ago I came across a retailer House of Bruar who sell boxes of coffee creams.

Coffee is my favourite - yummy!

I bought Black Magic in B and M. Meant to open it for family today but everyone was so full. So it’s coffee and orange cream for me. Mum used to love the orange cream so I would have the coffee. Not a big chocolate fan but love violet and roses. Best ever is Leonidas white chocolate manon with a hazelnut. Struggle to eat the nuts nowadays. Just threw my Easter egg in the bin as there was no room in the fridge.

I love them all ! I daren’t have one , especially if it’s a big box !

poppysmum Mon 26-Dec-22 17:41:29

I love toffee pennies and toffee fingers but always seem to pull out my fillings with them!

Nannina Mon 26-Dec-22 17:18:49

Don’t like any of the creams, not really a lover of chocolate but if push comes to shove i’ll have a nutty one

Keeper1 Mon 26-Dec-22 16:39:51

There isn’t one I don’t like, unfortunately

I've always loved the Guylian box of solid Belgian chocolate seahorses and sea shells. Everyone in the family knows that the seahorses are MINE!! Last year there was a whole box of seahorses only, slightly smaller than usual, but bliss... This year I received a "Guylian' box of tiny seahorses with soft toffee filling...nothing like the ones I love... The chocolate was also inferior.... I couldn't find the seashells boxes anywhere. Why oh why do things have to change...? Christmas just wasn't the same this year...

Does anyone remember the lime cordial half barrels in milk tray. I used to love these as does anyone I mention them to from my generation. Interested to know if anyone else remembers them

I remember them! Loved them. Chocolates ain't what they used to be

I dislike fruity cream chocolates. I used to quite like the coffee ones but not enough to seek them out especially. My favourite chocolates are anything nutty, toffees or caramels (but NOT salted!). I also hate anything 'flowery' like violet/rose creams or Turkish delight.

missdeke Mon 26-Dec-22 15:06:46

Worst of all were the strawberry creams with orange creams a very close second. I liked the coffee creams though but best of all were the hard centred ones.

I loved the butterscotch. Disliked coffee and orange creams.

I used to get a pack of the paper foil wrapped butterscotch for Christmas, love good marzipan too, ansolutely loath Ferrero Rocher.

Zoejory Mon 26-Dec-22 15:01:33

I received 4 boxes of chocolates. All dark chocolate. I really don't like dark chocolate.
