Roses or Quality Street?

Sorry oreo. Damned auto correct doesn't know better

What's orion? I must have missed it, somehow. Mind you, if it's American and for children, maybe that's not a bad thing.

Not anymore, since each have moved manufacturing to foreign lands their flavours have been changed.

As an aside, why do the blasted americans have to be determined to destroy our national confections while foisting onto our children their foul confectionery, including Orion? AND why do we let them?

Helgawills I didn't know that about Nestlé. Disgusting.

For me, hotel chocolat 75% + dark chocolate batons.
Lindt dark truffles (occasionally )
Weakness giant chocolate buttons.
I love all these but I limit them. I shouldn't be eating any.

Which ever one has a coffee flavoured chocolate!

I don’t buy them now the chocolates not the same we always used to buy them in the 70s/80s but they are rubbish now.
I rather spend the money on a good box of chocolates like hotel chocolate.

@Scribbles thanks for warning me about the difficulty of getting diabetic chocolates. I will try to get them now so I've more chance of getting to my shop of last resort a little way away if necessary!

White Chocolate is the work of the devil. I like Cadbury but they don't include the coffee creams anymore. I do like truffles, chocolate brazils but my new favourite is m&s Prosecco caramel, mmmmmm.
Merry Christmas xx

Gone off both. It is now Thorntons pricey but worth it.

I am happy to take any unwanted coffee ones, just saying ....

I’ll gladly take them off your hands newnanny, if they are a problem to you!?

No one eats the green triangles in our house. Our son takes them in to work after Xmas with the nut ones.

I have bought both for children but for me I have bought a giant red strawberry cream my favourite.

Neither. I prefer Green & Blacks, Lindt and Hotel Chocolat.

Quality Street. But not buying this year. DH is a Postman and last year we had 5 boxes as tips! By Easter we were fed up of chocolates!

NaughtyNanna, I found it impossible to get "diabetic" chocolates earlier this year when I tried to get some for a gift. Neither Thorntons nor Hotel Chocolat make them now and none of the general sweetie shops I tried could help.

I think Leonidas used to sell them but, as I'm no longer in the London area, I haven't been anywhere near one of their shops for several years.

Neither except for the penny toffees (even though I broke a filling on them one year). Cadburys is disgusting nowadays, and was disappointed with Hotel Chocolat. I won a mixed selection from Chocolate and Love last Christmas, really lovely, good quality. I highly recommend it. Green &Black's and Lily O'Brien's is also nice, as is some of M&S.

Definitely Quality Street, but only because of the green triangles!?

Quality Street for me, every time - especially a Toffee Pen50....

Glad to see we are not the only ones going for less and better. Decent chocolate is not nearly so 'moreish' = dissatisfying. Hotel Choc for us.

Can you buy Black Magic these days ?
I loved the half moon shaped coffee cream Ahhhhh

Always mix good quality mince meat with grated apple to take some of the sweetness away.

Both! (Though I pass on the toffees). ?
I agree about the quality chocolate being the best, but I'm not going to turn my nose up at a roses or quality street sweet (except the toffees - see above).

Cut right down this year as it's often me that eats what's left ! Neither grandchild is fussed about sweets really and are still eating those from Halloween Bought a small box of Quality Street to put out when visitors call and will have a decent fruit bowl. But I confess that I do love far too much a decent home made mince pie ?

Honestly- if you are going to have the calories - have good quality dark chocolate, which has ... chocolate and cocoa butter in it. Calling this palm oil + sugar chocolate should be illegal, truly.
