Thorntons viennese truffle ruined

[Didyousaynutella]

Just working my way through a box of their continental. Couldn’t fine the Viennese until I notice a load of uninteresting looking chocs left in the box.
They have replaced the sugar coated covering with boring milk chocolate. It’s too sickly now. Am gutted. They have clearly done this as it’s cheaper but it was a classic. What were they thinking! Next it will be the alpini!!! I already thought they were going downhill but this is the start of real demise. A sad day.

@MozzchopsThirty

Totally agree, they should be sugared

And the alpini is now called an 'alpine truffle' 🙄
If they fuck with the vanilla truffle I'll be fuming

This is getting serious now, the very cheek of them.

Oh no!! Do nuts me two packets as part of my 'expected' Christmas presents. I've not opened them yet!

I love that you DH became Do nuts...I don't know why it's funny but I'm silently giggling trying not to disturb my sleeping donut dh😂

We had the same reaction OP. They were perfect before.
Christmas was ruined!

😂😂

OK I've opened the packet and photographed the evidence.
They are not as surgery but still sugared!

My dh got me three boxes of Thornton's for Christmas this year. One cherry liqueurs, one dark choc and one continental. In the dark mix there is a caramel chocolate one which is AMAZING! Not tried the continental ones yet, but the cherry liqueurs are lovely too.

Ruined for me too. AND they are smaller. Instead of being a two bite indulgence they now go in in one and don't touch the sides.

That’s a shame. They’d already made the coating much thicker which was bad enough.

Apparent you can still get them in individual bags. Not much use if all their shops are shut!

I stopped getting them a few years ago when they changed the recipe. Shame as they were so lovely once.

Apparent you can still get them in individual bags
Thats what dh got me.
Even the packaging has charged this year!!!

I could not find them anywhere this year, when i googled it said they had been discontinued 😟 clearly not if you lot are still finding them but nothing in stock anywhere. They were-my favourites.

I'm still annoyed with them for getting rod of the white chocolate mints they did back in the 90s. The Viennese truffle was my second favourite. Now there's no reason to buy from them at all

Oh no! I bloody love these! Used to buy the bars

I had a Saturday job in Thornton’s 35 years ago! The Viennese truffle was my favourite (82 calories each - I remember!) and the other Saturday girls and I used to eat so many of them, as well as the toffee that we used to smash by hand with a special toffee hammer (probably shouldn’t admit to that )
I agree the latest version of the Viennese truffle is an abomination.

Thornton's went down hill about 8 years ago. I haven't touched them since the chocolate tasted more like butter than chocolate.

This has been a major cause of distress in our house over the Christmas period. I loved,my daughters loved them and my mum. Every birthday,Christmas,etc a bag of these was always a given. Years ago we used to buy them in kilo boxes. I cannot believe what they have done! What the hell were they thinking?! My life will never be the same again. Gutted 😢

Thornton's chocolates used to be lovely but they went down the pan some time ago. They just taste cheap and nasty.

Hi everyone, just to say that the truffles are back in stock on the Thornton's website! My partner is over the moon!!
