Christmas sweets- What's your favourite???

trixychic · 13-12-2015 1:29am #1

Every year we all get the tins of biscuits or sweets for people and from people. One of my pet hates is when I am given quality street or celebrations though. Of course and am thankful and polite... but man I really hate those. So what's your favourite??

The maltesers in a box of Celebrations alone is the best

Generally I am not that keen on Maltesers but these are a different game all together.

You can have every other box of sweets I get for your one box of quality street.

Matchsticks, the orange ones.

When I was young you'd be delighted if you got anything.

Dya know why?

Because you got nothing.

Other: Ferrero Rocher and After Eights.

Can never get enough Quality Street toffee pennies!

AirBiscuit · 13-12-2015 2:02am

People who vote quality street should be shot, they're all mank except the toffee pennies, but that doesn't justify buy an entire box of sweets just for one type.
Roses have a bunch of nutty ones that I don't like.
Most of the Celebrations are fantastic, EXCEPT for the bounties which nobody eats
There's no sweet in Heroes that I won't eat.

LETHAL LADY · 13-12-2015 2:03am

An orange, spiked with cloves, hidden in a sock, is simply delicious!

Frynge · 13-12-2015 2:07am

Our my family the only ones who delight in a box of lemons.

Absolutely.

Azalea · 13-12-2015 2:09am

I like the long, thin chocolate covered toffee in Quality Street also. But apart from those and the toffee penny, nothing of appeal.

My dad loves them.

Santa seems to be choosy about them though - I left a few out for him the Christmas I was seven, and the wrappers left behind were for different sweets to the ones I left out!

Can't go wrong with an auld selection box

You can have every other sweet in that box, as long as I get the green triangles.

Oh yes. ... I love them

gammygils · 13-12-2015 2:28am

Thorntons for me. Delish!

KungPao · 13-12-2015 2:31am

Caffrey's snowballs.

Hell yes.

Peregrine · 13-12-2015 2:37am

If it wasn't for the abominable Bountys, it would be Celebrations.

I'll remain undecided as long as they're still in Celebrations.

One eyed Jack · 13-12-2015 3:44am

No Jelly Babies or Juicy Jellies in the poll?

Never mind, someone always gets me them anyway as Christmas presents

crazygeryy · 13-12-2015 7:09am

The coffee sweet in the roses.don't think its in them any more?

Batesy · 13-12-2015 7:20am

Danish Butter Shortcake Biscuits.

It is. They brought it back a year or two ago. I hate anything coffee scented or flavoured but I fecking LOVE the Roses coffee chocolate.

sonny.knowles · 13-12-2015 8:39am

Not much of a choice there, not even Milk Tray listed?

Ferrero mixed box (3 varieties)
Twilight Mints
Toblerones
After Eights
Terrys Chocolate Orange Segments
Poppets
Matchsticks

rafatoni · 13-12-2015 9:07am

What ever happened to the massive selection boxes? They are all tiny nowadays.

This is what I came on to post. We always had a tin of these at Christmas but i never had them since I left home but I'm definitely going to get a tin this year

Brindor · 13-12-2015 9:23am

I always thought that the Quality Street tins were ugly, the colours were just unappealing.
Then I tried a few, and realised they were not so bad, actually quite nice.
Celebrations>QS>Roses tbh

13-12-2015 9:30am

Celebrations and heroes

Turtyturd · 13-12-2015 9:33am

Celebrations
Heroes
Roses

Quality Street

Shenshen · 13-12-2015 10:22am

Shop-bought I would have to say Spekulatius. Home-made it would be Vanillekipferl.

I don't associate chocolates with christmas at all.

rainbow kirby · 13-12-2015 10:44am

Out of the stereotypical ones - Quality Street, I love me some strawberry creme ones, and my husband absolutely hates them so more for me

My real favourite is a packet of the small tasting bars of Green and Black's though!

fleet_admiral · 13-12-2015 11:17am

Chocolate Mikados

Crumpets · 13-12-2015 11:31am

The strawberry creme ones in the Roses tub are mighty!

pc7 · 13-12-2015 11:32am

Lindort in the red box, one with a hot cup of tea.

Toto Wolfcastle · 13-12-2015 11:38am

Ferrero Rocher. I never liked Quality Street (apart from the green triangle, obviously) and Roses are nothing like they used to be. I'd never buy them. Celebrations are grand because they have the Malteaser and the Galaxy Truffle, if it's still in them.

But Ferrero Rocher are consistently good.

Turtyturd · 13-12-2015 12:14pm

You can't be including Danish butter cookies and chocolate Mikado. If that's the case Tunnocks win.

Nothing else comes close to the chewy chocolate orangey yumminess of a box of these. I keep them in the fridge and tend to dip in as I'm passing. (I have notions of trying to restrain myself but it doesn't work)

And I only ever have them at Christmas. yummmm

Oasis1974 · 13-12-2015 12:35pm

Don't even eat sweets much anymore but Lemon Seasons Greetings for me around Christmas Time not sure there even around now?

Sorry for the lack of options. These were the main things as I was growing up. I still get these. Ha.

Had to look up those lemon things. I'm a bit young for them. Eeek.
