oooohhh didnt think of taking my faves out

yanbu tis a bloody fantastic idea!!!

am going off to raid the purple and green ones now

funny as, but it rather depends on who considers what to be good in the tin. For e.g. my first bf's family all loathed the purple ones and the old red ones (cracknel) so they would leave them and I would get a big bag of just those (yum!) and a friend at work, her whole family hated the orange and strawberry ones, so I woudl get a big bag of those - YUM! see, I like them all, but tend to leave the toffees - which my Dad has.

So you might find your DC couldn't care less, as they might not want your green triangles!

... and i thought we were the only ones who did this!!!!

(we even have secret stashes of yummy chocolates that we sneakily eat when the boys are in bed!)

ClutterJunkie · 10/12/2008 14:25

Hmmmmm...fondly remembers the cracknell ones...MY favourite...miss them sooooo much!

BouncingTinsel · 10/12/2008 14:36

EWWWW you can have them I HATE the green ones!

Can I have the fudge ones please?

whispers I'm surprised the anti-Nestle brigade haven't come and slapped you about for buying Quality Street

harpomarx · 10/12/2008 14:42

so long as you don't replace them with marzipan

that would be abuse.

Rookietherednosedreindeer · 10/12/2008 15:53

Poor DS will grow up thinking that the only type of chocolates that exist are marzipan, does anyone actually like these and yes probably does classify as abuse ? and strawberry creams.

FWIW I'm amazed that anyone actually liked the cracknell ones, horribly chewy and got in your teeth, or the praline ones YUCK. Oh and not overly keen on any of the toffees far too hard, particularly the penny ones.

I would always eat the orange, strawberry and fudge ones, and leave the rest for anyone else!

Gorionine · 10/12/2008 16:06
