What to do with half finished tin of Quality Street?

Any ideas? I am presuming I can't give to food bank as tub of Quality Street is not unopened. It is half full as there are loads I don't like. It seems a waste to just bin them.

Can't think of any friends or family who like QS either!

Send me the orange ones...

ShetlandWife · 08/01/2021 13:24

Send me all the toffee ones!

TerrifiedandWorried · 08/01/2021 13:25

Orange creams and strawberry creams very welcome here

Kittytheteapot · 08/01/2021 13:25

Leave them outside your door with a sign saying help yourself.

LagneyandCasey · 08/01/2021 13:26

Stick them in a cupboard to offer to visitors next Christmas.

Crankley · 08/01/2021 13:29

They're rank this year, I couldn't wast calories on them.

In the bin

ThatDamnKrampus · 08/01/2021 13:31

Post on fb marketplace (for free obviously!) and see if anyone wants them.

billybagpuss · 08/01/2021 13:31

Save them for Halloween

Our local old people home is asking for exactly this sort of thing at the moment which they are using for quiz/tomobola prizes (after a quarantine period). They're doing more than ever to keep the residents entertained while they can't have visitors. A bit left field but worth asking!

I'm on my way!😉

Suggest you seek some kind of support for your distaste of Strawberry creams OP! They are my favorite!

vanillandhoney · 08/01/2021 13:38

Could you bag them up by flavour and see if anyone wants them on Facebook?

yankeedoodledandee · 08/01/2021 13:39

Give them back to the devil who gifted you them Grin

viques · 08/01/2021 13:39

Throw them away. It was a seminal moment , equivalent to taking off a too tight bra and throwing it in the bin, when I realised that you didn’t have to keep the chocolates no one liked until someone (me) was desperate enough to eat them.

Either that or see what happens if you add them into a chocolate brownie recipe before you bake it!

@TerrifiedandWorried

Orange creams and strawberry creams very welcome here
Wish you lived near me , I have a bag of those left over.

Toffee Penny
Hard orange ones

Welcome here!! Hardly any of those this year 😥 Still just as well I suppose!

@QualityStreetxoxo. I give them to one of my goddaughters, or my neighbour, but if you don't know anyone - you'll just have to bin them this year! (Woukdnt give them
To a random as I might in other years).

ByGrabtharsHammerWhatASavings · 08/01/2021 13:43

You can list them on Olio. I've got rid of loads of stuff on there, it's my go to for clothes that are too good for the bin but not good enough for the charity bag. Checked yesterday and there was someone giving away left over shepherd's pie, so I'm sure you'll have takers for chocolate!

TopBants · 08/01/2021 13:44

The toffee ones are the best, OP! Could you chop them up and use them to make toffee cookies?

CarrieCat · 08/01/2021 13:59

I would have taken green triangles but am with you on toffee, strawberry and orange ones

orangenasturtium · 08/01/2021 14:06

I chop them up and add them to rocky road. The toffee bits are a nice addition in small pieces that don't break your molars. The orange ones do flavour the whole tray bake though. If you use decent chocolate, it's like a Terry's chocolate orange before they ruined them. Sometimes I divide up the melted chocolate/golden syrup mix and add different flavours to each batch before adding the biscuits and marshmallows then spoon it into the tray randomly so the flavour is different with each bite. Or I use different chocolate with different flavours eg white chocolate and strawberry, plain chocolate and orange, milk chocolate for toffee and nuts.

PP's suggestions to donate them are probably a much better idea though.

Ifwemakeitthroughdecember · 08/01/2021 14:06

Take them in to work. It's what everyone in my work does anyway!

BikerWife · 08/01/2021 14:12

I took all the leftover Christmas treats I didn't like into work and they lasted approximately 5 minutes Grin

hollyhope · 08/01/2021 14:15

I'd leave them in the staff room at work.
