Christmas sweets- What's your favourite???

trixychic · 13-12-2015 02:29AM #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.

Can never get enough Quality Street toffee pennies!

AirBiscuit · 13-12-2015 03:02AM

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.

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

Frynge · 13-12-2015 03:07AM

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

Absolutely.

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!

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

Thorntons for me. Delish!

Caffrey's snowballs.

Hell yes.

Peregrine · 13-12-2015 03:37AM

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 04:44AM

No Jelly Babies or Juicy Jellies in the poll?

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

crazygeryy · 13-12-2015 08:09AM

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 10:23AM

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
