There is a toffee deluxe in quality street. I've got them in my tub
metro.co.uk/2017/10/19/attention-people-the-toffee-deluxe-has-returned-to-quality-street-tins-7011193/

Hurrah! Thank you for that. Might buy a tin of those too, then :)

:) :) :)

Goldenhandshake · 21/12/2017 11:25

The best are the orange ones and the strawberry creme, then caramel and toffee ones, all the ones containing nuts should be burned on the fire

Alexandrite · 21/12/2017 11:26

I think roses has a coffee one

I'm shocked that I have just seen tins of Quality Streets on the 1981 Woolworths advert for £6.49, also jars for £4.49. Those prices (taking into account how the tins used to be bigger) are more or less what they are today.

SoulSputnik · 21/12/2017 14:18

Chocolate toffee finger
Toffee penny
The purple one (get a blood sugar check after this one)
Green triangle ( false advertising - what flavour is this supposed to be?)
Pink fudge (inedible)
Caramel barrel (get a shot of insulin afterwards)
Coconut (dunno what that stuff is but its not coconut)
Green chocolate (??)
Honeycomb (dont remember this -probably inedible)
Strawberry (are you serious?)
Both orange ones (only give these to people you hate/owe money to)

TheHolidayArmadillo · 21/12/2017 14:49

Strawberry and both the oranges are joint bottom ( and pure evil. I would sooner have no chocolate than eat them. DH likes them. It's one of his redeeming qualities Xmas Grin Envy < not jealousy)

I forgot to include Strawberry Delight in my list. It's below the Orange Creme.

Emus · 21/12/2017 15:12

Most of them are boring now but then I was a massive fan of the coffee ones and am always hopeful they'll be brought back.

The last few Chocs in our box is always the green triangle and the orange and strawberry ones!

Whatthefunk · 21/12/2017 15:19

Have you even tried QS this year ? They taste like death and smell awful. Devastated as along with satsumas, quality street were the smell of my childhood Christmas.....Sad

Vitalogy · 21/12/2017 15:29

The past couple of years they've done a big box of just strawberry, my favourite, not seen any this year though.

PuppyMonkey · 21/12/2017 17:52

Taste just fine to me WTF - opening my second tub this evening Grin

GlomOfNit · 21/12/2017 23:50

Bin them all, apart from the toffee penny. They're all shite.

glitterlips1 · 22/12/2017 00:03

Purple one and green triangle. Strawberry when they are the only ones left. I won't touch the toffee, I blame them for the fillings I had when I was younger. However, I won't buy QS now, they taste weird.

BellaDarkness · 22/12/2017 02:13

Vitalogy they have done a big box of the purple ones on their own...........its in the shape of a giant sweet. They sometimes do the same with the strawberry creme. Ive seen the box of the fruit creams with the lemon zing in our local Superdrug. Not recently though.

Screaming if you miss coffee cremes Iceland have boxes of Whitakers Coffee creams at £1 each Locally to me they are in Iceland and B&M

Shatner you can have my orange cremes too they are yuk!

Vitalogy · 22/12/2017 06:44

Yes I saw the big purple one this yearBella but that was it, not keen on those.

Seems like most people are in the soft or nutty camp.

RainbowDashian · 22/12/2017 07:21

They're all crap but the least crap are the toffee finger and the strawberry creme.
The worst one is the orange creme, it's inedible and tastes exactly like the orange Calpol.

Fishlegs · 22/12/2017 07:38

Was talking about this yesterday with the kids, having just cracked open our first tub this Christmas.

I only like the orange creams, ds1 only likes the coconut ones, the toddler only likes the pink and red ones, ds2 and dd1 the toffees, then dh, who will eat anything (maddeningly slowly) finishes the rest.

It was a sad day when I realised they don't do the coffee ones anymore.

Alexandrite · 22/12/2017 08:22

I like coffee chocolate too. Marks do a box of coffee ones which I've bought

RustyBear · 22/12/2017 09:44

@Octopus37 - this may be why the price hasn’t changed much over the years...
