Strawberry Dream is no more ☹️

[AnSionnachGlic]

Just after tucking into an early Valentine's gift ( to myself!)....a box of Cadbury Milk Tray, and am absolutely disgusted that the strawberry chocolate is no more!! How can they get away with this....it's been my favourite since I was a child. And even better, no one else ever likes it so was always left to me! AIBU to be so disappointed that I can no longer enjoy my Strawberry Dream!

Wtf?

I loved my calpol themed strawberry sweets. I always got a kick out of being the only one who wanted them too.

Did you say the caramel barrel was gone?

RIP galaxy truffle too

MIL was most upset when the box she got for Christmas didn't have any of her favourites in.

Where have all the coffee cremes/coffee flavoured chocolates gone? I went into Hotel Chocolat at the weekend for some (as my DM had bought me some for Christmas) and was informed they no longer do them.

@Fuckityfucksake

We had some at Christmas and they were vile. Taste nothing like they used to. Sorry they took away you fav OP Everywhere removed mine ages ago - I'm a coffee cream lover :)

You need Whittaker’s in your life. British, palm free, fair trade and they do catering size tubs of coffee creams.(and rose, Violet,orange,ginger and strawberry) www.whitakerschocolates.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAr5iQBhCsARIsAPcwROP1mOWhISdhdxx5fIVTmbPcf1eMIpWQMUXVs8fdWId1nkMozOGUBQ4aArEHEALw_wcB

I felt the same when they ditched the coffee cream. Coffee is such a popular drink so how can people not like coffee creams?

I love a coffee cream On my birthday dh bought chocolates from a chocolatier for me. The server was going to give him a random selection and he told her no, there must be coffee creams in abundance.

@OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow wow that coffee collection looks amazing and good prices too. My waistline will not thank me but wtf

Whitakers are great - love the ginger. Beeches are also good - but the creams rather than the fondants. Link is to milk, but they also do plain

Think they replaced it with some raspberry truffle thing , which is NOT a replacement! And while I'm on it...what's with all these truffle/solid chocolates! I loved to bite into a strawberry delight and have lovely , pink liquid oozing out. A close second was the orange fondant/liquid chocolate, which has been replaced by a truffle sort concoction,... followed by runny Caramel barrell. ALL GONE.....Not impressed 😡

Nooooooooooo. Not the caramel barrel.

All Cadbury chocolate is shite now, as are quality street. Such a shame.

Try Guilbert’s of Bristol. Their assortments are fantastic, just like old style Quality Street / milk tray, but far better quality. They’re expensive by comparison, but worth it. I get them for a Christmas treat.

I'm still lamenting the loss of the lime barrel from 1970's milk tray, best chocolate ever.

@ComtesseDeSpair

I just bought strawberries and cream flavour cheddar from Aldi. That might be your new favourite?

Please let this be a typo?

I agree entirely. I’m probably remembering through rose-tinted specs (not Cadbury’s Roses), but Milk Tray, Dairy Box etc. seem so bland compared to when I was a child. Everything is a truffle or a praline.

My rule as a child was: toffees/caramels and fruit cremes on Christmas Day, truffly and nutty ones on Boxing Day, nougat and montelimar on 27 December and, if I got desperate on 28 December, I’d pick the chocolate off a coffee cream and squish the filling into an empty wrapper.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks of them as Calpol Cremes!

Am totally open to some replacements for my Milk Tray Strawberry chocolates, but live in West of Ireland, so don't have access to Whitakers or Gilbert's without paying huge excise duties ( Thanks Brexit!).

I can't believe I've read this just before bedtime. It has ruined my weekend! Who - literally who, would take out the strawberry cream? It's an outrage!!!

Another fan of lime barrell. I remember when they actually did a milk tray bar, oh that was a real treat. Didn't have to share that.

YABU to eat Milk Tray.
Cadburys is shit these days, too sweet and full of palm oil 🤢
Used to love the coffee creams though, back in the day!

I felt the same when they ditched the Turkish delight. It was my favourite

ALDI have a great Turkish delight chocolate

Creme tangerine, montelimar. But you'll have to have them all pulled out after the Savoy truffle.

Recommended on Mumsnet a while back.

Not cheap (they supply Fortnum & Mason) but totally delicious. They do strawberry, raspberry, orange, coffee, lemon, apricot, lime, nuts, caramel etc.

This makes me SO HAPPY 🙌🏼 They completely ruin the whole tray OP 🤷‍♀️

I was given a couple of boxes of Cadbury’s Milk Tray at Christmas and just couldn’t eat them. I’m not a chocolate snob and I’ve gladly eaten them in the past. Something has changed. They were sickly sweet and just a bit grim.

I ate half a bag of Cadbury’s mini eggs on the sofa last night and they were totally fine.

Yes, I remember the Milk Tray bar. They also used to do a Milk Tray easter egg but I think they only sold it in Woolworths. Happy days.
