Revels - anyone else do this?

A lightweight conundrum for you all this cold dark evening …
Bloody love a chocolate Revel. But I hate the coffee ones. 🤢 The orange ones however are 👩‍🍳😘
I bite them in half then chuck it if it’s coffee. Kind of Russian roulette with a bag of chocolate kind of vibe.

Is this wrong? YABU
Yep I do it. I do or would if I’d thought of it YANBU

I love the coffee. I hate the chewy toffee but I can usually predict those!

Ilovegoldies · 16/10/2023 20:21

I do the same with the toffee. I don't trust my teeth these days.

The coffee ones are the best!

Aria20 · 16/10/2023 20:25

I can smell the coffee ones so I don't even bother trying them Grin
Funny to see the unsuspecting kids getting the coffee flavour though!

AlwaysFoldingWashing · 16/10/2023 20:27

Coffee and orange are the best! Raisins go right in the bin

pennyfest · 16/10/2023 20:28

Nooo I love the coffee ones! Can't stand raisin ones but they're easy to spot and bin

NeonFlamingos · 16/10/2023 20:29

The raisins and the 'off' maltesers get reluctantly chewed here

I hear Quality Street are brining back the Coffee Creme for Christmas … fellow Coffee lovers

bombastix · 16/10/2023 20:30

They are all great and thank you for the reminder! I shall go and buy a pack and watch Poirot (David Suchet).

Love the coffee revels. Wish they'd dump the toffee though - Russian roulette for my teeth.

MartyFunkhouser · 16/10/2023 20:31

I’ll bite into them give the coffee ones to my husband.

With Ferrero Rocher, I fish the nut out of my mouth and he eats that too!

autumniscomingsoon · 16/10/2023 20:32

They're all really good except the toffee ones which are awful

mintbiscuit · 16/10/2023 20:32

Do they still do the minstrel ones without the shell? Those ones are the best!!

Singsonggsu · 16/10/2023 20:34

Haha not just me then!

I sometimes buy a large bag and me and the kids take turns to pick one!! I love guessing which one they get by the look on their faces!! They love playing it.....and it's a wi win for me cos I love them all😁

Say it's really true!

BreatheAndFocus · 16/10/2023 20:36

I do the guessing game too, including with friends when we share a bag of Revels 😄 But I love the coffee ones and hate the orange ones. The Malteser-y ones are always Top Prize, but they make those yucky, over-sweet orange ones a similar size.

They are called Counters. I used to love them.

I stopped eating Revels as I can’t stand the coffee ones, and the smell of them contaminated all the others in the bag! Grim

Yes! Love those too 😊

I do the same OP. I actually put the half bitten coffee ones back in the bag sometimes as dh found out the other day much to his disgust 😂

Jumbojem · 16/10/2023 20:40

Really want a bag now! Not had them in years, but I also like to play the guessing game as to what each is going to be before I put it in my mouth. Orange ones are my faves, and the minstrel type o es.

Floating101 · 16/10/2023 20:41

There’s a very subtle difference between coffee and orange, I think the chocolate on the orange isn’t quite as smooth as on the coffee or might be the other way around. Takes a lot of practise though 😊

SisterAgatha · 16/10/2023 20:42

I voted YANBU as I agree in principle however my method is entirely different to yours.

I LOVE caramel and they can look like raisins. So I do a little squeeze test!

I love coffee and orange equally, and you can tell a malteaser from the weight.

Atomickittyxx · 16/10/2023 20:46

How can you not like the coffee ones!! The orange and the raisin ones are meh! I can take or leave them but putting them in the bin tut!! If quality street bring back coffee creams that'll make my Christmas 😍

Oganesson118 · 16/10/2023 20:49

I love Revels but I must disagree. Coffee ones are lovely and the orange ones distinctly meh.
