We received 2 lovely big boxes of chocolates at Christmas. Cadburys Milk Tray and Nestle Dairy Box. What a disappointment! They were all either truffles or pralines. What has happened to all the lovely creams and nutty centres that I used to love? Why did they have to change them? 😔
Just like meat, well, any food really, it is always best to pay the most you can afford.
So we treat ourselves to a box once a year, maybe also at Easter , from a local chocolatier. We can choose the contents and know it is made in the traditional way.
Hotel chocolate for a treat or gift - can’t be beaten. I loathe the cream centred chocs, strawberry, orange, lemon etc. makes my mouth tingle at the thought. Yuk!
I wouldn't eat Cadbury's chocolate even if they paid me, not proper chocolate at all. My DD brings me Belgian chocolate from the chocolatier in Brussels and Swiss chocolate when she has to work in Geneva, spoilt mois ? 😆
I think Cadbury chocolates are no longer worth buying. I believe it is an American company owners now and has changed the recipe. No longer buy anything made by Cadbury.
I was given some Lauden chocolates once and there is no going back to anything else. The outer shell is crisp and choclety and the inner cream is fresh and flavourful.
DH loves the blackcurrant and these can be ordered as one box.
Cadbury was bought by American Mondaleez (can’t spell it) and hasn’t been worth eating since. It’s full of palm oil and tastes intensely sweet but not of chocolate. As American chocolate is notoriously awful they have wrecked our old favourites.
Wow, they look nice. Plenty of fruity soft centres by the look of it. I have a birthday and Mother's Day coming up so will put this on my wish list. Can't decide between Strawberries and Cream or Lychee and Rose. But then there's orange, lemon or lime too..... 😋
I like Lindt chocolates, you can buy a box and choose the flavours that you like. I had a special Heart shape bought for me and I was able to choose lots of various flavours which I enjoyed. There is not the same selection of types of chocolates but there is a huge range of flavours.
