Anyone like them or give them as gifts? Where do you buy them? My local M&S swapped them for Christmas stock so I think I'll need to buy online, but from where

I love them! Ask for them as a Xmas treat every year, Lakeland stocks them.

PiratePetespajamas · 29/10/2023 21:53

Omg love them. Charbonel and Walker do them. Otherwise tends to be proper chocolate shops.

FatFilledTrottyPuss · 29/10/2023 21:54

Hotel Chocolat do them all year round I think

Prestat, Waitrose and John Lewis sell them.

I have completed extensive testing in this area.

Sainsburys used to, haven't seen them for a while though.

enjoyingscience · 29/10/2023 21:58

These are my number one favourite things.

The absolute best ones are the Charbonnel et Walker ones. The Hotel Chocolat ones are a bit insipid.

I love them too, don’t know anyone else who does! Our 2 closest independent garden centres sell them, as does a local farm shop.

gingersnappz · 29/10/2023 22:18

Lidl usually do them both as part of their Christmas stock.

VikingLady · 29/10/2023 22:20

Boyes has them, if you're oop north.

WelshDaffodil · 29/10/2023 22:20

Beech's chocolates. They do both of those, but their pineapple creams are my favourite

LightSpeeds · 29/10/2023 22:20

I'm sure I've seen them in The Range for Xmas.

PegasusReturns · 29/10/2023 22:21

Fortnums do them - they’re amazing. Really heavily scented and come in milk and dark with crystallised petals on top

mejon · 29/10/2023 22:21

They're my DM's favourite and I buy them for every Christmas/birthday. Most recently I've got them from https://guilbertschocolates.co.uk/product/english-rose-violet-creams-230g/ The Lakeland ones that used to come in a small wooden box were lovely but I haven't seen them for years.

Aldi stock them at Christmas

Verite1 · 29/10/2023 22:24

Love them. Friars, charbonnel and walker or Prestat are the best.

Yes! I always buy myself a box or two 😍 Happy to see the multiple responses on here, as I've actually never met anyone who likes them even a tiny bit.

Omgwhatthehell · 29/10/2023 22:25

Oh I love these! DH buys Prestat ones do for me, but I think they are quite hard to find in shops so he usually buys them online.

Audrey's in Hove sell The Best Rose Creams. Plus many other traditional English delights. You can order online too

if you're local and you haven't been, their shop is to die for, just like you might imagine an Edwardian sweet shop. Full of mahogany cabinets and thr smell from the chocolate "factory" above is divine.

Guilbert's are the best ones, and they also do a box of floral creams that includes a lovely geranium flavour.

AnneLovesGilbert · 29/10/2023 22:27

Oh I love them! Never met one I didn’t enjoy and Aldi ones are as good as Prestat imho.

I love them too & was coming on to say Audrey's.

Second Fortnums. I love them and treated myself to some absolutely gorgeous and can buy online.

TerfTalking · 30/10/2023 06:09

Never tried them as they sound awful like a Parma Violet. I’m intrigued now, what do they taste like? Shall I put them on my Christmas list?
