It appears they are not doing their white chocolate and strawberry Christmas trees this year. Only the stupid salted caramel and milk chocolate ones.

They were the entire point of December.

They have RUINED my Christmas Xmas Angry

Flowers I'm so sorry for all your losses. Anger is a natural part of the mourning process, may I offer a hand to hold? Of course if you made everything from scratch like me Halo...............

AlexaAmbidextra · 04/12/2017 19:32

Fucking salted caramel. Will it never go away? It's vile.

SemolinaSilkpaws · 04/12/2017 19:35

The thought of these festive offerings is making me dribble. White chocolate and strawberry Christmas trees! I want one. My dribble has turned to froth with my rage that these are not up for grabs.

In fact I may well scream and scream until I am sick if I can’t have a white chocolate Christmas tree. What say Mumsnetters we organise a march on Downing Street, that nice Mrs May hasn’t got much on at the moment and she will help us.

Grin Stealth

It was a pork chipolota with spices that made them taste of Christmas. Can’t even remember what spices so I can recreate them.

I thought Greggs did a gingerbread muffin this year? Costa gingerbread muffins are nice.

StayAChild · 04/12/2017 19:35

HoneyDragon Mingles! That's it. That's what I've been searching for every year and can never find, but I can never remember the name! They were the nicest mint chocolates ever - in a green Quality Street shaped box.
Please tell your MIL she isn't alone Sad

Soft cheese with raspberry, rolled in Almonds...could eat it by the whole roll...the Morrisons stopped selling it. Still look and hope, at least 10 years later.

NeganLovesLucille · 04/12/2017 19:37

I've never forgiven Asda for stopping selling Wall's Muddy Pigs icecream.
It was the most fabulous chocolate ice cream with little pink strawberry choclate pigs in it. It was divine,. I am and always will be devastated. What utter twatting bastards they are.

ALemonyPea · 04/12/2017 19:38

Speaking of Greggs, they did a Viennese topped mince pie a few years back, ‘‘twas delightful. They never did it again.

AlexaAmbidextra · 04/12/2017 19:38

While we're grieving our losses, does anyone remember those ham and soft cheese whirls that M&S used to do in their party food section? About 16 to a pack and I could polish off the lot in one sitting. I look every year in the hope of reincarnation. Sad

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 04/12/2017 19:42

DH is still mourning some veggie burgers he used to eat in the 90s. He won’t take it from me that he’s much richer and eating better quality food generally so even if they existed they still wouldn’t be that great now.

rachelracket · 04/12/2017 19:42

please will salted caramel go home Hmm

StayAChild · 04/12/2017 19:43

AlexaAmbidextra exactly! It's everywhere, even cosmetics, household stuff and other non edibles have been infiltrated with the essence of it.

No, we don't want every single confection in salted caramel flavour. Christmas puddings even - just why? Enough is enough! Xmas Angry

hollygolipo · 04/12/2017 19:47

I've just remembered the lovely mince pie ice cream that Sainsbury's USED to do.

ALemonyPea · 04/12/2017 19:48

I don’t like salted caramel either. Why must everything be that flavour?

Littlebatcalledlucille · 04/12/2017 19:48

Whoa! Slow down! Mingles have gone???
Well.....that's my Christmas royally fucked then! I hunted for them for ages like a twollock!
Oh the memories! One boxing night! Heavily pregnant, scoffed half a tin was up for hours with unbearable heartburn.
Do I regret it? Nope.
I'd do it again.
I'm gutted, from the depths of my heart.
Benedict's can shove their chocolate up their holes.
Never getting a penny from me again! I tell thee!

Popchyk · 04/12/2017 19:49

Can I please be the first poster to mention the obesity crisis? And feign unconvincing concern about the example it gives to our younger generation?

And pretend not to know what Iceland actually is?

And while I am here I may as well point out that I make my own strawberry granita from scratch every evening. Apart from a Sunday. When I make a semifreddo.

HoneyDragon · 04/12/2017 19:52

Mingles went in 2011. They closed the factory and abolished Mingles. Twats.

Elephant are you going to make me strawberry and white chocolate trees?

OP posts:
Littlebatcalledlucille · 04/12/2017 19:52

Aye.
That's not gonna bring Mingles back? Is it doe?

HerRoyalFattyness · 04/12/2017 19:52

holly Sainsburys still do mince pie ice cream

Well, Iceland can fuck off. Fucking asshats that they are.
TeoTorriateKonomamaiko · 04/12/2017 19:54

Sainsbury's aren't selling marzipan fruits this year and it's a disgrace!

Littlebatcalledlucille · 04/12/2017 19:54

HoneyDragon 2011??
That just stabbed me right in the feels.
Twollocks.

bialystockandbloom · 04/12/2017 19:55

M&S well and truly lost this customer when they stopped their raspberry and coconut mini cakes. Even though it was years ago I have never been back there except the times I have

hollygolipo · 04/12/2017 19:55

Whaaaa! It's back?! THANK YOU!

BackBoiler · 04/12/2017 19:55

Aldi didn't have any Christmas tree shaped mini pretzels last year. They were my go to alcohol soaker upper and they did them in two flavours

kierenthecommunity · 04/12/2017 19:56

I was in Iceland earlier and didn’t see any ice cream chocolate mints this year. They were amazing Shock

The blow was softened by their three bottles of plonk for a tenner and emergency services discount Grin
