Eclair. The Eclair is the worst sweet in any tub and shouldn't be there !

Agree?

Exact same for me Smile xx

Best: All the fondant ones, followed by fudges then caramels. All the others are just so much chocolate bin fodder as far as I'm concerned.

@TianasBayou

Do they still do them? Haven't spotted any this year!

Best obviously!

Exclusive to John Lewis. I may have half-filled my refill tin with coffee creams.

Jozephine · 20/12/2024 20:49

None are worth the calories anymore. However a big bar of Lidl own chocolate is a different matter

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 20/12/2024 20:49

NEW INFORMATION! I doubt I will get near John Lewis this week though!

BigYellowDucky · 20/12/2024 21:51

I love the strawberry ones ! Them and rhe oranges are by far my favourite in Roses.

FuckMeUpFlorida · 20/12/2024 21:52

Wading in to ask where everybody is seeing these tubs, because where I am (mid-Wales) I haven't seen any at all and I've been looking Confused

BigYellowDucky · 20/12/2024 21:54

Not to derail, but the price of the tubs these days makes me flinch , and I'm positive they are a lot smaller than they used to be. You used to be able to get a tub for a quid on Xmas eve - and I'm not even that old!

HunterHearstHelmsley · 20/12/2024 21:54

You're very confused @EineReiseDurchDieZeit Totally incorrect in most of your choices.

Roses

Quality Street

Worst - Strawberry Delight

Celebrations

Worst - Twix

Heroes

Worst - Crunchie

Éclair is elite chocolate and should be included in all tubs, even those not made by Cadbury.

CaliforniaEarthquake · 20/12/2024 22:00

I love toffee pennies. My family once had a tin of just toffee pennies (probably 40 years ago) and I’m pretty sure I ate every single one.

MostHighlyFlavoredGravy · 20/12/2024 22:05

Best: éclairs, coconut quality street, snickers

Worst: creme egg ones and anything featuring strawberry/orange flavour

Notgoodatpoetrybutgreatatlit · 20/12/2024 22:13

My favourite is the orange cream I work in a secondary school so in January when we go back I scour staff areas and offices and gorge myself most people hate them.
I'm sure there is a dark chocolate version but I can't find it.
I put a massive box of dark chocolates from M and S on the Xmas ocado order so I'm hoping it's in there. Unless I just hallucinated it. I hate it when I just imagine things.

I’ll swap you my green triangles and Galaxy Caramels for your strawberry and orange creams?

Laiste · 21/12/2024 13:07

Are we still going?

No one has said the big purple one! Yum. Almost as yum as the Bounty.

I got mine in Tesc when they were on offer for 3 quid a tub before they hiked them up for Halloween and then xmas

Big purple has always had its full title in this house! They can hardly call it big purple now it's clearly been shrunk!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 21/12/2024 13:46

I am genuinely surprised at my disdain for eclairs being controversial
