Where have all the rose and violet creams gone??

50 replies

TakeYourHatOffBoy · 01/02/2023 19:34

I really want to treat myself to a box of rose and violet creams. I love them and buy them now and again as a bit of indulgence. But none of my usual go-to shops have had them in stock for months!

Fortnum's - nope
Rococo - nope
Hotel Chocolat - nope

Whyyyyyyyyy?! Is this another thing to blame Putin for?

Does anyone have any other recommendations for places online that do have them in stock? (They need to be good quality, no soapy-tasting artificial nastiness please.) I need my old-lady chocs!

I have never heard of these or seen these before, how odd!

Do they taste like Turkish Delight? Or Parma Violets?

The Chocolate Society. £19.99 for a box of 16, plus postage.

They are very old fashioned and there will not be enough demand for them.

XenoBitch · 03/02/2023 01:19

Lidl have both, but they are probably too "poor" for your taste.

Whittaker do them, I get them at my local garden centre.

LittleBrownJug · 08/03/2023 23:19

I know this is an old thread but I bloody love them. Yes they do bring back Proustian memories of my grandma … I also second the Chocolate Society ones, but I’ll be checking out the geranium ones now.

Hope you’re fully stocked up now OP.

The Queen used to get them delivered. Maybe they don't bother now she is gone???

I have not had them for years but damn if I don't want them right now!!!

IDontWantToBeAPie · 09/03/2023 10:21

M&S usually have them

Whitney168 · 09/03/2023 10:22

The Fortnum & Mason shop at Heathrow Terminal 5 had loads last week, so they obviously still exist at F&M.

House of Dorchester are my favourite though, and haven't been able to get those in Waitrose for ages.

For the enthusiasts. Fortnum's today

Dh bought some in M&S - Ch. et Walker- the other day, to take as a present on a visit. I was really pissed off that he didn’t buy 2 boxes - I love them!

Danielli on the green Richmond upon Thames.
My husband makes a special trip there every Christmas to buy them for me. He refers to them as Violent creams

I’m currently sat in bed, watching TV with a glass of Prosecco and a box of violet and rose creams - absolute heaven 🤣 (Year 6 teacher celebrating the end of SAT’s)

FannyFifer · 12/05/2023 21:54

I've not had violet creams in years, might need to place a wee order.

Lockheart · 12/05/2023 21:56

I adore rose and violet creams, and as it happens I'm off to Aldi tomorrow...

Amazing thread!

Guilberts are local to me and can provide your old lady choc fix. I can confirm that they are delicious.

I got a pack in a hamper for Christmas. It was a Welsh hamper company, but no brand name on them

Happycow · 12/05/2023 22:16

Audreys supply F and M.... they still sell them, and do mail order :-)
