Has anyone else noticed that there is a new Quality Street?!

[ManonBlackbeak]

Was munching my way through a large tub earlier and noticed one in a turqoise wrapper that Ive never seen before. Tried it and its got a thick, runny chocolate filling but it tastes really synthetic and am not sure if I like it or not?

Wonder why they've suddenly added a new one after all these years?

Yes, it's a recent change - it's a Chocolate Caramel Brownie, apparently. www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/quality-street-toffee-deluxe-chocolate-caramel-brownie-sweet-a8917801.html

I preferred the Toffee Deluxe!

I liked the toffee deluxe as well! Hadn't noticed that had gone! Why not get rid of those awful rock hard ones in the blue wrapper? No one likes them do they?

I liked the new one. Quality street would have been my least favourite in previous years but I think there has been an improvement.

Roses and miniature heroes also added new chocolates this year which went down really well.

Celebrations would have been my favourite for the last number of years but I was really disappointed with them this year and they are now my least favourite.

I don't like the new chocolate in quality street.

Even the kids won't eat it here, say it "tastes of chemicals". Quality Street used to be a Christmas highlight, not sure we'll bother next year.

Haven't forgiven them since they ditched the gooseberry cream. Yes it did exist and yes I'm old enough to remember 😠

Gooseberry cream?oooh that sounds lush

Not bothering with a tin next year. Everything tastes too much of sugar. They've got rid of the hard caramel, so once the pennies and sticks are gone there was just a massive sugar hit. Unpleasant.
I've said that everyone should just buy some of the ones they like.

Not had Roses for ages, what are their new ones like?

Just had to find the tub and try a new one.
I like it. But I dont have the best taste buds.

The blue one should NEVER go. Its coconut and its delicious

Roses are pretty grim and the wrappers are really annoying!

The orange and strawberry quality street are much nicer than the roses ones.

Yeah, the new caramel brownie one.

It's horrible!

I love it! Also think QS is way better than Roses

I remember this, it was my favourite too!

😁😋

We were given a bag and I'm trying to work my way through, but the new flavour is pretty rank, the coconut ones are disgusting, not keen on the fruit creams and can't eat the toffees for risk of dislodging fillings. That only leaves the chocolate block, the purple ones, the green triangle and the other new one in the white (?) wrapper which are good.

I agree beela. Always prefered Quality Streets.

Was it QS or Roses that had the peanut cracknel one years ago? That was amazing.

I love the blue coconut one, they were the only ones left in the tin today so yay for me.

Yes. It tastes how playdoh smells!

I hate Quality Street (in fact we all do) and we had 4 bloody lots of them!

Give me Celebrations or Heroes and day (but not Roses).

I just find that QS all have the same non-descript flavour.

Is it just my DH who likes the coconut ones?
I didn't make it to John Lewis to do the personalised tins, wish I had.

Yes, there was a thread about it the other day - rueing the demise of the BEST one (toffee deluxe) and then it being replaced with this Brownie effort.

Also, as much as I like Cadburys Heroes its always bugged me that they don't have a flake one anymore. Why is that?

What was wrong with the old tins and wrappers? I can still remember how lovely Quality Street and roses used to be, it does make me sad whenever I do buy them and the overwhelming disappointment.

The squeak the papers used to make as you unfurled them. The hard chocolate not the soft muck of today.

sounds vile. all chocolate people seem to be doing all they can to replace cocoa content with sugar that is brown.
