Luxurious treat of utterly inedible?

I'm just opening a box of chocolates I had for Christmas. I love chocolates, but looking at the flavours these sound a bit 'out there' (ie, gross!) Or am I just being a fussy-pants?

Walnut marzipan
Saffron fudge
Pistachio truffle
Rose fondant
Violet fondant
Cassis jelly
Earl Grey truffle

What do you think? Would you fall on these with delight or wave them away?

Eat them. Then you will know if you like them.

Moonlightsonatas · 08/03/2023 14:45

Hypothetically, what brand are these ? Asking for a friend. 😀

heldinadream · 08/03/2023 14:46

They sound terrible.
Send them to me for disposal.
You're welcome.

Sound hideous combos,I only like cadburys or galaxy because I definitely know what I am eating .

ChilliBandit · 08/03/2023 14:48

They sound like flavours I wouldn’t necessarily think of putting with chocolate but could be delicious. I’m willing to try most chocolate though.

SquashPenguin · 08/03/2023 14:49

Walnut and the pistachio sound nice, anything flower flavoured though 🤮🤮🤮

'Prestat' apparently - never heard of them before! The box is beautiful though!

They all sound delicious, except for the Earl Grey. There’s been a thread on here about Rose and Violet creams (= fondant?)

You may like them all if you try them.

ChilliBandit · 08/03/2023 14:52

I’m surprised you’ve never heard of them, they are pretty famous.

WeAreTheHeroes · 08/03/2023 14:52

You can keep the rose and violet ones, I'll have all the others though.

CrosswordConundrum · 08/03/2023 14:53

Some of those I’d like and some I might not be sure of, however I have a sweet tooth so I’ll happily bite into almost any chocolate and if needs be just nibble the outer if the filling isn’t great 😂 Waste not want not!

saveforthat · 08/03/2023 14:53

Yes very famous chocolates. Send them to me if you don't want them.

Orchidflower1 · 08/03/2023 14:54

Ok no help at all @SnuggleBuggleBoo but how have you got to March and still got Christmas chocolates?!!!

regardless of the flavour you’ve got more will power than me ( she says side eyeing the Easter eggs she bought to put away)

ArmchairAnarchist2 · 08/03/2023 14:56

A large box is £82!

Whereas I think Cadburys and Galaxy are greasy and disgusting. The OP's chocolates sound much more interesting.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 08/03/2023 15:00

I would fall on them like a pack of hungry wolves. Have heard of most of these, indeed, eaten lots of them. Where have you been, OP, that you don't know these flavours? Grin

ChessieFL · 08/03/2023 15:00

They sound like interesting combinations and I would happily give them a try!

ChilliBandit · 08/03/2023 15:01

I agree @CaptainMyCaptain - if you melt galaxy the amount of oil that separates out is really gross.

FictionalCharacter · 08/03/2023 15:01

Oh I would love those! Sadly the likelihood of anyone ever buying me Prestat chocolates is exactly zero 😭

ODFOx · 08/03/2023 15:02

That walnut marzipan is exquisite.

My (not usually horrid) family ate the rest of the box I received at Christmas, not realising that they were one of my presents rather than a box to share.

I'm keeping fingers crossed for Mothers' Day.

Enjoy OP: they are a 'one at a time' kind of treat rather than a box in a day.

Ridikulus · 08/03/2023 15:02

They sound horrible. But I hate floral flavoured things

KohlaParasaurus · 08/03/2023 15:04

I'm not generally a fondant fan but I'd happily give that selection a taste test.

whatapity · 08/03/2023 15:04

Rose and violet fondants would be delicious and a real treat. Cassis jelly 🤢

Mamette · 08/03/2023 15:04

They sound lovely. Send the marzipan ones this way 😊

HoldingTheDoor · 08/03/2023 15:06

I'd love these.

Pistachio truffle
Rose fondant
Violet fondant

I hate Earl Grey tea but I'd try the truffle. I wouldn't care for the others though.
