Am I getting old and jaded? OK I know I am ~ you don't all have to rush to shout "YES!"
SWWLTBO always buys a hooge tin of chocs as part of her Christmas Preparations.
She claims the tins are handy for cakes ::)
This year she went for Quality Street.
They really have gone right off. Not a patch on what I remembered.
Anyone else found this?
We could have a poll on Christmas Chocs I suppose.
Miss D is excused from answering as I know chocs don't touch the sides when she gets at them.

You cheeky moose lol:
Ok for the experts definitive answer ....Quality Street beat Roses hands down. Roses are now full of soft centred crappy mush and still have vile coffee creams of nastiness noooo:. Quality street have toffees in as well cloud9:
Black Magic are indeed the devil's chomp of choice as they are dark chocolate and therefore naturally all belong in the bin.
Heroes / Celebrations etc are a novelty and also bung in bournville things sick2:
Dairy Milk - now there is a box of chocs that should be full of wonderous loveliness but in their attempt to emulate Throntons choccies have gone all praline this and truffle that and should go back to what they do best until then - they do not pass the grade noooo:
Terry's All Gold are simply vile sick2:
Matchmakers / After eight / Twilights are the exception to the dark chocolate rule cloud9:
-
I have fond memories of Quality Street as a child. My aunty Violet always bought a huge tin of them. They were shiny and bright and you could make little goblets out of the foil. My favourite was the brazil nut ones they had a whole brazil nut in them in those days. The orange flavoured ones were a close second best.
I don't get excited about any of them these days.
If I were to buy chocolate it would be dark chocolate. Chocolate with Ginger. cloud9:Chocolate with orange. cloud9:Chocolate with cherries. cloud9:

A big tin or Roses at Xmas... cloud9:
But I couldn't get any this year - so I bought loads of pack of 'minis' instead - Mars, Milky Way, Lion Bar, Smarties, Toblerone, Dairy Milk, etc.
Delicious and no waste.... cloud9:

Miss C, I'm not a chocolate lover, but put a tub of any of those fruits dipped in chocolate (http://www.hotelchocolat.co.uk/find.asp?name_checker=1&name=fruit) in front of me and they won't last long at all, particularly the kirsch cherry ones cloud9:
Get yourself down to Meadowhall (http://www.hotelchocolat.co.uk/cid/5NPHJ4LU4ZYL7M2ZKQXJBU7JE3O9NZ0V/chocolate-shop-Meadhowhall-sheffield-Astore_mdh/)

Family gathering?

I'm sure it was but not mine in this instance and Mr C's mother will not venture there as once many years ago there was a flood there. However Lurkio spends time there, he will be 50 next year and the last binge was blamed on the fact that the 25 year old shop assistant that he had been
stalking chatting up had declined his offer of a night out in Ecclesfield!
My daughters do not squawk they have the voices of angel1 actually daughter number three whilst not having an accent does speak in a tone that is both piercing and irritating. She reminds me of Pig Pen. noooo:

I'm not a chocolate lover. . .
We are pleased for you, if that is in the same sense as chocolate teapot or fire guard.
I voted 'other', as I am very fond of a seasonal Toblerone. cloud9:

I also voted other - Secret Santa gave me a lovely big box of Lindor Chocs & so far they have been scrummy.
