Which chocolates are a Christmas must have?

[MummyPig24]

We have already eaten a tin of roses and the kids have a selection box in their sack.

But which chocolates do you absolutely always have to have at Christmas time? I am hoping someone gets us a tub of heroes

I am so pleased I'm not the only who's gone off Quality Street, they have changed them, haven't they? The violet and rose creams sounds amazing.

It may be retro but actually the daddy of all chocolate brasils is Paynes. Haven't had them for years though.

Foil wrapped coins. In a stocking.

And Marc de Champagne Truffles - the pink ones

Does nobody eat chocolate covered Turkish delight anymore?? I really fancy some. Cadburys did one but it wasn't fab. This is what I want this Christmas.

Obviously quality street, toblerone, after eights and a chocolate orange are compulsory!

We also have a candy maker in town and we get a selection of favorites from them-truffles, nougats, toffee, chocolate covered nuts

bunty I hope he gets it, what does an ambassador actually do? you should stock up ready, tesco have endless different permutations of the nutty balls at the moment

Have they really, reaLLY changed quality S?

How?

They look the same. Except the box is a crappy plastic one and not the sound metal tin that then pops up, slightly rusty, with cake in it for years (nostalgic).

But they have done something to the chocolate. And the brasil nuts are a weedy shadow of their former self. Some pathetic sliver of nut sweepings instead of a proper big nut. And the green triangles are no longer right.

Yes yes to the quality street change, made my teeth hurt as there's too much sugar

Asda's own truffles £1 a box are lovely.
Roses, match makers, after eights

MrsBennetsEldest - you can buy Anthon Berg chocolates from Amazon.

Try Waitrose aswell.

Thanks raisah, I have seen the small boxes but it's the giant ones I miss. I know, we are pigs.

clandy Thorntons do lovely chocolate covered Turkish delight, a large box for £6.99 or smaller bars for £1, love it!

Has anyone said Florentines yet?!
