You have a tub of one of these chocs, which one are you picking?

You can only have one choice!

Roses
Heroes
Celebrations
Quality Street

If you only eat chocolate handmade by angels, this is probably not for you ...

It would always have been Quality Street for me - few things said 'Christmas' more than a bowl full of them shining like jewels on the coffee table, but the new wrappers are truly hideous.

So I'll have to plump for Celebrations.

Totally agree re QS, but it's 2nd Nov, not Christmas, so I'm going for Celebrations for now.

Quality Street. I'd give away the toffee and orange ones though.

JimPanzee · 02/11/2024 16:54

Celebrations all the way!

We had some quality street at the weekend and they were a bit disappointing. Subtle changes that they think we won't notice.
Roses have been crap for a while now.
Celebrations ok but padded out with milky ways which are totally meh.
Haven't had heros in a while so I guess they're next.

It’s still a tragedy they don’t contain the galaxy truffles 😩

LittleRedRidingHoody · 02/11/2024 16:57

@Refreshingpie OMG those were insane. I'd switch Celebrations back to #1 if they were still around 😋

OldTinHat · 02/11/2024 16:58

Roses please! I'll eat all the tubs you lot don't want!

SprigatitoYouAndIKnow · 02/11/2024 17:00

I think the title does mean the specific chocolate. Celebrations and nicking the malteezers ones first for me.

Roses and quality street have gone downhill since they took out the coffee and nougat ones that no one liked. I did like them, so got the all 😋

DramaAlpaca · 02/11/2024 17:02

The only thing I like in all those boxes is malteasers, so it's Celebrations for me.

It wouldn't be QS, they're far too sweet.

Idratherbepaddleboarding · 02/11/2024 17:03

Old fashioned Quality Street please. They’re all crap now but if I had to pick modern ones it would probably be Heroes. Does anyone remember Mingles, they were the best Christmas tin!

ODFOx · 02/11/2024 17:03

I'd rather a box of paynes chocolate brazils or toffifee.

ODFOx · 02/11/2024 17:05

I've just found out that roses don't have Brazilian Darkness any more.
What is going on?

CocoapuffPuff · 02/11/2024 17:07

Quality Street for the toffee pennies. I DESPISE the crappy wrapping now though. I want crinkly cellophane.

ElBandito · 02/11/2024 17:13

Quality street, with shiny wrappers.
In truth I probably won't buy a tub at all this year, they are very disappointing.

PissedOffNeighbour22 · 02/11/2024 17:14

Quality street. Haven't had any for a couple of years though so might regret buying 2 tubs earlier this week if the comments on here are true about them going downhill.

WillowTit · 02/11/2024 17:14

heroes

I remember Mingles, they were lovely.

I remember Mingles, they were lovely.

I recently had an after eight chocolate selection box and there were some chocolates in that which really reminded me of mingles !

Scoobyblue · 02/11/2024 17:16

Celebrations every time. And now you've made me want one!!!!

HazelSquid · 02/11/2024 17:17

Heroes.

Although I’d rather have a toblerone.

I hate celebrations. And yet as a teacher I end up with 20+ boxes at Christmas.

I always wonder who is looking at the stacks in the supermarket, all the same price, and picking up the horrid greasy celebrations.

I always joke with my husband I need to drop some hints. Maybe toblerone as a spelling?🤔

TossedSaladandSE · 02/11/2024 17:19

Celebrations every time

Ijustlovemydog · 02/11/2024 17:20

Allllllll the chocolate, please don't make me choose 😊

Beezknees · 02/11/2024 17:25

Celebrations.

I don't like dark chocolate and Quality Street has some dark chocs.

Coconuthotchocolate · 02/11/2024 17:25

If pushed celebrations but all of them don’t taste like the chocolate they used to anymore

TossedSaladandSE · 02/11/2024 17:27

We all hate fudge and cream eggs in Heroes

We all loathe strawberry and orange cream fillings in QS

Roses also have fudge yuk and strawberry and orange creams

Celebrations is the only box where nothing gets left behind

There are lots of favourites in all the boxes but they're mainly for the DC so it irritates me when so many are wasted so Celebrations it is

I get myself nicer selections
