Luxurious treat of utterly inedible?

[SnuggleBuggleBoo]

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?

That's a famous old school brand... I'd try those flavours even though I dislike 'proper' dark chocolate.

I'm just opening a box of chocolates I had for Christmas.

I don't understand

I'd love all those, except the earl grey. But if it's basically bergamot, with no tea, then that's ok too!

You can keep the Earl Grey. Send me the rest, and I will conduct a taste test and report back.

They sound a bit fussy for my taste.

Give me a box of Leonidas any day.

Some sound amazing and some I would try with interest - it's a good brand so much don't expect any of them will be awful.

Oh I had these for my birthday. They were absolutely gorgeous, except for the violet fondant because I loathe violet as a flavour. I came down with a noro type tummy bug as a kid, straight after eating parma violets and have never been able to face them since.

Rose & violet fondants are absolute Christmas classics!

Those are my kind of chocolates - my garden centre regularly has offers (near the tills where you can’t miss them)on rose and violet creams for 2.99 and I always buy several boxes and can easily eat a whole box in one sitting.

Im such a granny!

I think I may have had this exact box for Christmas myself! I scoffed the lot last weekend and thought they were delicious. Feel free to send it over my way .....

Prestat are nice - I'd try them all, only one I'd be wary of would be the marzipan but cheap marzipan is a world away from a good quality one so even that would probably be fine

I am too I got the same as Christmas presents,Dd calls them old lady sweets

Sound yummy

I don’t like marzipan but otherwise they sound delicious!

Blimey. Just try one.

Never heard of the brand, seem to only be in london. Around here it's Thornton's or lily o'brians if you want boxed chocolates (not own brand that is, or those seashells)

Let us know how it goes OP. Dh got a posh pack of chic's from Fortnum's and I swear they were Earl Grey truffle. I love Earl grey tea and I love chocolate but these were so disgusting I couldn't eat them! I was appalled at myself! My favorite choc is Aldi fruit and nut. It's extremely addictive.

This is just a humblebrag about how you don't eat chocolates immediately.

I'll take the fondants please.

I would jump at those. 😋😋😋
I love combinations like that and am sick to the back teeth of salted caramel and praline being almost the only flavours anyone can imagine in a chocolate box and therefore available to buy when I fancy some posh chocs.

I dint like flower flavoured stuff but dh bought me some, I tried it and was pleasantly surprised. I wouldn't; couldn't, have eaten the whole bar in one go, nor would it be my first choice if I was buying chocolate but it was not bad!

There's an ice cream brand that do an early grey ice cream which is amaaaazing. Brand is 'Cheshire something or other'

They sound great. I’d certainly give each flavour a go.

I'll take them all, but who wants the skanky tea flavoured chocolate?

🙋‍♀️

They sound pretty damn normal apart from the saffron! I'd eat them all.
