Does anybody actually like chocolate liqueurs?!

Or do I mean liqueur chocolates? I didn't even know they made these anymore until I found some in the cupboard earlier.

Having forgotten how much I always hated them, and being greedy desperate for a chocolate hit, I ate one. Or rather - I tried to! Bleurch!

Does anyone out there like them?

My favourite chocolates. I only buy them at Christmas though.

@TheYearOfSmallThings

I love them! The polish brands are best

Yes, I like the Solidarnosc ones in Tesco, although the liqueur is on the harsh side - I kind of like the burn!

Not as good as Leonidas though.

The chocolate kisses my auntie brings from Krakow are the best I must find out the brand bur whoa they are lush

Cherry liqueurs are lovely! I bought a box of the old style liqueur chocolates for our intended family Christmas so they are still in the cupboard at the moment. I used to like the brandy ones in there but it's been years.

Interested in this thread?

My mum loves them, I think they’re foul! Alcohol and chocolate do not go together IMO! And cherry and chocolate is 🤮 as a general!

HermioneMakepeace · 17/03/2021 22:23

LOL @ the drunk squirrel Grin.

I used to love chocolate liqueurs, alas I am now a vegan so that pleasure is now denied me.

DahliaMacNamara · 17/03/2021 22:23

I like them if they don't have that sugar crust on the inside. I'll have 'em.

FaceyRomford · 17/03/2021 22:34

Love them.

Renlay · 17/03/2021 22:35

These are the culprits. Had no idea they cost over a tenner! 😯

@MrsWP those lucky squirrels!! I can imagine them being all ‘oh Ambassador you are spoiling us!’Grin

That’s what I say every time I have one anyway, that 90’s advert was iconic 😂

Bellver888 · 17/03/2021 22:51

@Renlay oh my god my mum loves those vile little shits
they’re the work of satan

RedcurrantPuff · 17/03/2021 22:52

Whole cherries in kirsch wrapped in dark chocolate- yes

Any other - no!

RedcurrantPuff · 17/03/2021 22:53

Oh and when I was a kid I used to love Advocaat filled Côte d’Or chocolate that we got in Belgium!

@LostToucan

M&S chocolate cherry liqueurs are rather splendid.
They are nice and so cheap!!
Sulla · 17/03/2021 22:56

They are the only type of chocolate I do like! I could eat my weight in marzipan though...

Ninkanink · 17/03/2021 22:56

I do. But only nice ones, of course! Cognac and whisky.👌

Ninkanink · 17/03/2021 22:57

Mmmmm marzipan.

PickAChew · 17/03/2021 22:57

I used to love them.

I think they're one of those things best kept as a memory, though. (can't eat any chocolate these days, tbh)

joystir59 · 17/03/2021 22:58

This thread has made me realise that I actually only like the idea of them but not the reality.

LoungeLizardLhama · 17/03/2021 23:03

Oh my word I used to absolutely love the little bottle shaped ones sneaked as a child every Christmas. I always nibbled the top off carefully so I could swig the booze out then loved crunching the chocolate with the boozy sugar crystal bit. I bought some from the bargain bin in the garden centre after new year and they were vile, and had no crunchy sugar lining any more. I was so disappointed. Sadly I have no local squirrel either so they went in the bin Sad

Ultimatecougar · 17/03/2021 23:08

Bloody love them. Which is odd because I'm not especially keen on either chocolate or alcohol. Put them together and I can't get enough of them!

Clymene · 17/03/2021 23:14

Horrid. I will however eat chocolate and wash it down with booze. I'll eat a whiskey or champagne truffle happily but liquid booze? No.

CatWithARabbit · 17/03/2021 23:14

Cherry liquers are just the best !

Amdone123 · 17/03/2021 23:14

They're horrible. As other pps did, we used to think we were being rebels as kids when we used to bite the top of, drink the alcohol, then pretend we were drunk. But even as a child, they were too sweet. I remember really large boxes, so cheap, too.

ConkerBonkers · 17/03/2021 23:14

Yes, just send them to me :)

Where did you get them? They're my favourites - used to get them in Italy but never saw them here!
