Visited a chocolate shop in North Yorkshire yesterday and after paying £30 in the cafe for not much (2 tiny tubs of ice cream, a GF brownie, a regular brownie, two teas and two juices) I treated myself to some fancy pick n mix chocolates.

They taste stale. The fudge one tastes like soap. The peach one was so disgusting I spat it out, and I adore peach flavored stuff. I've had a rubbish week and they were meant to be a little treat to myself ☹️ it was £8 for four little chocolates. Wibu to contact them and let them know?

I'm off to raid the kids' stash from lidl which will be nicer!

I think you should tell them OP, it may be that something's gone wrong in the making, and they're not aware of it.

Well now you know! Chocolate is like strawberry jam. Cheaper the better 😊

Do you think there’s something wrong with them or do you just not like them?

I mean, YANBU but it would be best to tell the store rather than mumsnet if you want a refund or some kind of action to be taken?

It's a small family run business that's at least 90mins away. I'd have to ring or email them and I'm not sure it's worth it with it being my word against theirs basically.

And please don't come at me saying £8 isn't expensive - for a few chocolates it is for me at the moment!
