Orange cream for me!! Def pass the coffee cream to the next person...

blurpityblurp · 01/08/2020 17:34

Praline, coconut or fudge.

Pass the coffee cream onto the next person!

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 01/08/2020 17:36

I’ll have the coffee creams first!

Leave anything with fruit in!

amusedtodeath1 · 01/08/2020 17:38

Orange or strawberry creams or toffee depending on my mood, definitely leave the coffee (Burn them with fire !!!!!!) Wink

curdsandwhey · 01/08/2020 17:38

Raspberry cream if they have one, otherwise orange cream. I'll leave the coffee to you.

I might eat a fudge if it was the last edible thing left, but it would be the last option.

Mummiepig · 01/08/2020 17:43

I’ll have a green triangle or praline please
But I’ll leave the toffee, too chewy!

DarkHelmet · 01/08/2020 17:44

I'll take a hazelnut in caramel, and leave the orange cream for someone else.

legalseagull · 01/08/2020 17:44

I take a big purple one, and leave orange cream

legalseagull · 01/08/2020 17:45

@DarkHelmet

I'll take a hazelnut in caramel, and leave the orange cream for someone else.

Not the coffee cream, dear god. There was some interesting research on this:

I like all chocolate really but would try to avoid anything with marzipan in, also not a fan of liqueur chocolates.

Probably go for toffee or caramel or truffles first.

Deathraystare · 01/08/2020 19:29

Hate orange and strawberry creams love coffee creams (the more the better!). Love marzipan chocolate too!

AdaColeman · 01/08/2020 19:33

I’d choose the coffee cream, but leave anything nutty behind.
Hopefully, they are plain chocolates issey?

moolady1977 · 01/08/2020 19:34

Anything nutty would be eaten first and any with a cream filling I'd be passing on

mnahmnah · 01/08/2020 19:35

Any with crunchy bits in, whether it’s honeycomb, biscuit or nuts.
Anything with coffee in it can get lost Grin

Jenasaurus · 01/08/2020 19:36

Turkish delight or hazelnut whirl. I would leave the coconut or fudge ones. Most of my family seem to make a bee line for the strawberry cream ones

Elouera · 01/08/2020 19:38

Love most flavours, but not keen on those overly, sickly sweet orange and strawberry fondant ones (might be roses chocolates?)

Love almonds but hate synthetic almond flavouring in marzipan and synthetic cherry flavour which reminds me of cough mixture.

Love coffee, caramel, coconut, nuts and everything else.

SquishySquirmy · 01/08/2020 19:39

Love coffee creams, as long as they actually taste of coffee not sickly glucose syrup.
Also like tangy raspberry creams, orange creams, strawberry creams, marzipan, praline, especially if enrobed in dark chocolate. Soft caramels too.

I would leave hard toffee.

AbbieFB · 01/08/2020 19:41

I’d eat the orange and leave the coffee.

AuntyFungal · 01/08/2020 19:42

Oh dear god - I’d have all of them at the moment, including the coffee cream.

joystir59 · 01/08/2020 19:42

Toffee penny. Leave all the others.

Great article Grin

Ilikewinter · 01/08/2020 19:44

Anything that had a nut in it....coffee cream id never ever eat!

iklboo · 01/08/2020 19:45

Soft caramel first or coffee cream (someone has to like them), give away anything praline or almond.

viques · 01/08/2020 19:45

I would eat all the praline ones, then any more with nuts, then lemon cream, then ganache, then possibly a soft caramel.

Then -and this is a technique I have refined over the years - feel free to copy.

The rest would be binned.

Because I know that if they aren't binned straight away then at some eventual point in the future even a miserable dried up coconut delice with stick in the teeth desiccated coconut sitting sadly in a crumpled paper case will look attractive.........
