Are the best thing ever?
Especially on a warm day when they are all melty and gooey?
I think they may be the nicest thing I have ever eaten.
I don’t work for Lindt btw, although maybe I should. Am seeking views to settle a household debate. Have name changed so the whole household can’t link to my previous threads.

Deffo in the fridge gang, cold chocolate is the one!

Slanabhaile · 16/07/2020 21:32

Red milk choc Lindt balls are the best!! Although I'd eat any of them given half a chance😜

They are sickly and disgusting - it's the palm oil.

I love Lindt but I am so over salted fucking caramel now, its in everything now and its boring. The orange ones are the best.

I give youLindt online shop where you can find all the flavours they do, including my favourite, cappuccino. I used to love the coffee ones but they stopped making them. Nothing nicer than a trip to our nearest Lindt shop to buy a box of pick and mix.

I detest everything salted caramel and think people must have very poor tastebuds if they think the salt is ever in any way 'subtle' or 'enhancing' Shudder.

BettyButtercup · 16/07/2020 21:36

They didn't quite make my top 3.

  1. Coconut
  2. Mint
  3. Red

...just in case anyone was wondering.

A Sainsburys near me has a lindt balls pick and mix. My dd is obsessed with it!

Birth of my children?

Meeting Jarvis Cocker at London Euston station?

No....discovering Lindt have an online shop. Best day ever!GrinGrinGrin

JacobReesMogadishu · 16/07/2020 21:41

I like the orange ones, haven’t tried pistachio though

Lindtballsrock · 16/07/2020 21:43

I’m learning so many new flavors tonight! I had no idea about some of these. If I ever find a peanut butter one I may wet my pants with joy.

@Erictheavocado oh my god you’re so bad showing us this I didn’t know they had the pick and mix online.... Grin

funinthesun19 · 16/07/2020 21:45

These sound lovely! I didn’t even know they exist! I’ll look out for them next time I go shopping.

Atthebottomofthegarden · 16/07/2020 21:47

Prefer Ferero Rocher. Sorry...

The gold ones obviously, the other colours are very poor substitutes. My DH once bought me a box of mixed flavours. He’s learnt the error of his ways thankfully.

mrsBtheparker · 16/07/2020 21:47

I will say this then retire, sure to get a naughty message from MNHQ, but I think Lindt chocolate is revolting, the idea of all those flavours makes me gag, it's like an expensive Galaxy.

MotherMorph · 16/07/2020 21:48

I was so happy when I found a salted caramel Lindor bar the other day, but not seen one again. It was amazing.
Mint chocolate anything should be illegal IMO

Splodgetastic · 16/07/2020 21:48

Straciatella or orange if we have to deviate from the original ones.

BobFleming · 16/07/2020 21:49

The milk chocolate ones in the red wrapper are like manna from heaven to me.

I have to give them away immediately otherwise I would eat a box full in 2 days.

Atthebottomofthegarden · 16/07/2020 21:50

Despite FR obsession, would be prepared to try the Nocciolatte and Hazelnut ones, just in case they compare.

NellePorter · 16/07/2020 21:51

Not tried the salted caramel ones yet, but hard agree with eating Lindt balls straight from the fridge. Don't even want to think about how much I spent on the pick'n'mix last time I went to Cheshire Oaks. I don't like the fruity or mint ones though.

WhoresDerves · 16/07/2020 21:52

Yanbu! These ones or the white choc ones are scrummy 😋 i call them orgasm balls 😂

IaltagDhubh · 16/07/2020 21:52

Salted caramel is the work of the devil. Therefore I conclude that salted caramel balls are, in fact, Beelzebub’s bollocks. Waxed and oiled...

Lindt in general is overly sweet and oily. I’m not a fan. Although the coffee balls are okay if you can find them.

essexmum777 · 16/07/2020 21:53

is this one of those planted threads by the Lindt SM team? if so please send all mumsnet users free samples

Guylan · 16/07/2020 21:54

For me Holdsworth salted caramel truffles are the best by far.

@GotGameByThePound

My Christmas centrepiece is a large vase filled with green, red and gold Lindt balls.

Though, every one of them has a slight mint taste by Christmas Day.

Nice! My halloween display are the orange and dark chocolate onesSmile
