And their ilk. Please settle a very important discussion for us:
they're like eating shampoo? Non? or Oui?

YANBU - shampoo
YABU - delicious

Horrid things that have no place being called chocolates. Always remind me of those little shaped decorative soaps my grandmother kept in a bowl by the sink.

Yabu
Both delicious 😋

Love violet and rose creams. I asked for some for Christmas but didn't get any!

Inextremis · 31/12/2021 11:42

Rose and violet creams are my favourite chocolates - I only have a small box of each at Christmas, and never throughout the year, else I'd pig out on them.

Sooooo gross

My wonderful grandmother loved Parma violets, and I’d search out proper chocolatiers to buy her just 6 or so on special occasions. She’d eke them out, as a proper treat.

I miss having a reason to buy them.

Love them! Dark chocolate only though.

Yanbu. Vile things

littlepeas · 31/12/2021 12:11

Not all created equal but I love the Hotel Chocolat ones!

Dozer · 31/12/2021 12:13

Another example like Marmite.

KurtWildesChristmasNamechange · 31/12/2021 12:16

YABU they're both bloody lovely!

Normski67 · 31/12/2021 12:18

Send them all my way please! DH says they are like eating perfume

KurtWildesChristmasNamechange · 31/12/2021 12:21

Violet creams too, mmmm!! Normally I get some for Christmas but Santa must've forgotten this year..

sosickofthisshit · 31/12/2021 12:22

They're both 🤮

nokidshere · 31/12/2021 12:22

Parma violets yes, rose creams no

Hummingbirdcake · 31/12/2021 12:23

I’ve had nice ones but generally horrible.

Grumpyosaurus · 31/12/2021 12:23

I usually get some rose and violet cremes at Christmas.

None this year. 😟

wavecatcher · 31/12/2021 12:23

I love both! Send them in the post to me and I will send you those horrible triangles and hard toffees!

TrickyD · 31/12/2021 12:25

My favourites! If DH spots them he buys them for me.

Acrasia · 31/12/2021 12:28

Monin do a Violett Syrup, which makes for some very delicious violett cream hot chocolates!

MrsRubyMonday · 31/12/2021 12:30

Parma violets are incredible, and I love Fry's Turkish delight which is rose so I imagine I would enjoy the rose cremes as well.

GoodnightGrandma · 31/12/2021 12:31

I love Parma Violets.
Never eaten a rose cream.

AuntieDolly · 31/12/2021 12:31

Love! (and only £1.49 in Lidl)

DoubleShotEspresso · 31/12/2021 12:31

I love them, but am the only person here who does!!

MrsBerthaRochester · 31/12/2021 12:34

I love them but I
my new year resolution is no more chocolate.
