Confectionery/snacks you can't stand

fussyonion

What chocolate bars/sweets or snacks can you not abide?

I've always hated that vile pink and white Nougat stuff, and marshmallows make me gag.
Never been keen on Hunky Dory's Buffalo flavour either, and Cadbury Flakes can feck off.

Turkish delight. Awful stuff from the seventh circle of hell.

AirBiscuit

Maynard's Wine gums.

I hate Fry's Turkish Delight; big wobbly piece of horribleness.

Cadbury's Turkish, on the other hand, is a joy to behold.

Archeron

Chocolate kimberley. Its like a jellyfish fell into a pot of melted aeros then got trapped in a plastic packet. Blech.

kneemos

Anything from Cadbury. Overpriced and slimey.

Lia_lia

I agree those marshmallow things are yuck. But Flakes?!

Fig rolls. Mank.

fathead82

Thankfully gone now, but those tayto bars were the worst thing I ever tasted.

Diamond Doll

Liquorice

I don't like most of the traditional southern European sweets. All the Spanish and Italian stuff seems to be almond based awfulness. It starts from turrón and goes downhill.

Also, Cadbury's chocolate isn't a patch on the proper stuff. Even 79c Lidl choco is mile better.

They are plastic rubbish alright, M&S make good ones.

conorh91

Any confectionary involving gelatin: jelly, flan, lemon jelly, haribo, anything like that.

It's like eating sweetened plastic. I associate it with illness and nursing homes.

Fruit Gums are an anomaly to me. Don't get me wrong, I love them. But while, as a general rule, I hate black and orange sweets and love yellow sweets. I love black and orange Fruit Gums but hate the yellow ones.

Panthro

Liquorice and marshmallow sweets should be banned

Cold War Kid

Most boxes of chocolates at Christmas - Roses, Milk Tray, Quality Street, the rest of them. Sure, there's the odd nice one but they're mostly sickly sweet mank.
Ferrero Rocher and After Eights are yum though.

Clove drops....uuugh

Don't like Mars bars or Milky Way myself, sickly sweet.

Penny Tration

Malteasers, Bounty, Snickers, Mars, Fry's, Galaxy (all varieties) and Haribo.

I love Quality Street. Roses and other Cadbury's sweets used to be nice but now are just sickly sweet, flavourless blobs.

Ferrero Rocher and After Eights are yum though.

Yes!

I love Fry's Turkish Delight! And licorice! And wine gums!

Mena

Liquoric... Licorice... Lick o rish. That stuff.

Robsweezie

Liquorice allsorts taste like poison, they must be an acquired taste.

zuutroy

Fruit gums. Hey look, we've found a perfect adhesive for teeth....great, turn it into a sweet.

Dr. Zaius Dr. Zaius!

Anything minty too, like a mint cornetto or mint chocolate. I cant get the feeling like youre eating toothpaste out of my head!

Chocolate liqueur sweets too..nah!

entropi

Oreos are disgusting.

I hate all minty chocolate, and I really, really, hate Mars Bars. They're absolutely sickening, I don't know how anyone can eat them and not vom.

I love those white Ferrero Rocher Rafaello, I could eat my own bodyweight in those and still find room for more. And Bounty bars, and those Chunky Kit Kats. I love a little Freddo with a cup of tea too. I love sweets.

Get out.

Do you hate Fridays as well? Or is your contempt confined to chocolatey honeycomb goodness?

Try crunchie cheesecake. There are probably recipes online. I suggest you try it and educate yourself!!

Titzon Toast

Wibblely wobbly wonders, Red bull and dark chocolate.

Bounty bars are the spawn of satan.

Liquorice
Marzipan
Anything with raisins in it. Who thought that adding withered brown balls of evil to confectionery was a good idea?

And for anyone dissing Bountys, you're all wrong. That is all I have to say on the matter.

Crunchies.

Mint Crisp.
