For me it’s the purple wrapped ones, milk choc with caramel and hazel nut

Spangler is right. the boxes are definitely getting smaller. We were just saying that the other day. Green triangles are the ones for me but unfortunately we don't have any QS this year. I did remind dh to order two Terry's chocolate oranges with the supermarket shop. When he asked 'what for?' I said 'we always have chocolate oranges at Christmas' and he replied' 'but only for prizes'. Not this year!

I don’t like Quality Street or Roses either. I used to like the coffee creams but they seem to be out of fashion now.

I can remember making a ‘stained glass window’ at school with the coloured cellophane stuck to the back of the paper which had the window shapes cut out.

Of course you are

If I get any Ferrero Rocher I'll send them to you!

Am allowed to say that I don’t like quality street? Sorry.
Nor Roses come to that but I do love Ferrero röchet.

Purple one here too.

Did anyone enjoy looking through the coloured wrappers when they were little? The red and purple ones created the best effect. Simple pleasures!

Yes indeed I remember doing that as a young child. I used to look at the tv through them and pretend we had a coloured telly! ?

Blue coconut for me, looks as though I’ll get them all.
Put all the lovely see through wrappers in a jug last night and tonight, all gone now. Greedy piggies.

Even coconut
I am desperate

The purple ones and my favourite of all the orange creams

Callistemon Sun 20-Dec-20 19:37:09

The purple ones.

But just at the minute, I'd be grateful for any one.

Georgesgran Sun 20-Dec-20 19:35:55

Definitely the purple ones! I can remember my DF putting the cellophane wrappers around plastic thimbles to go over fairy lights on the Christmas tree.
No health and safety then! X

Should say purple nut ones and green triangles - should have checked before posting!

Curlywhirly Sun 20-Dec-20 19:30:12

Purple nuto8b ones and green trianwgles for me too. I hated the strawberry and orange soft centre ones and gave them to the dog (this was 30 years ago, before we knew chocolate was bad for dogs, though it didn't seem to have any ill effects on him!).

Green triangles and orange crunch ?

Jaxjacky Sun 20-Dec-20 18:07:23

I don’t like chocolate, but we had a tin in the house and used to save the wrappers to make stained glass windows.

Kate1949 Sun 20-Dec-20 17:13:53

It's been years since we had Quality Street. I can't remember the flavours. Anything without nuts suits me.

Casdon Sun 20-Dec-20 17:10:51

Fudge

NotAGran55 Sun 20-Dec-20 16:49:23

Purple or green triangles only .

LadyGracie Sun 20-Dec-20 16:25:48

I used to love the cracknell, I think they were in red wrappers. Now I like the coconut and the orange and strawberry creams.

Calendargirl Sun 20-Dec-20 16:06:27

Green triangles, and another crunchy one, can’t remember the colour, don’t have them very often.

Ladyleftfieldlover Sun 20-Dec-20 15:59:48

Strawberry cream, orange cream, fudge and toffee cup. I ordered a large tin directly from Quality Street with just those sweets! Last year I went to John Lewis and did the same thing. They weren’t allowed to this year.

Spangler Sun 20-Dec-20 15:43:40

Are there any Quality Street left? Soon it will be one of each assortment.

Blossoming Sun 20-Dec-20 15:31:44

Toffee ?
