All of them have plusses, I don't eat nuts (stop sniggering at the back) and can't have the toffee pennies or choc eclairs or any particularly hard things so, fussy š¤£

Whichever one has those flat toffee jobbies that try hard to pull your fillings out.

Slightly OT - while I'm waiting for the olive bread to be ready, then the sponge for the chocolate log to be made:
Thank you so much @Reynard for the ginger bread recipe you gave me years ago, it's the tops!

I've never been particularly fond of sweets. Here's a terrible warning to the parishioners who don't share my tastes.....

Quality Street* just isn't the same since the ditched the toffees, more specifically the Toffee Deluxe. Although they did reintroduce it for this Christmas, due to declining sales.
One thing that's the same for them all, is that the weight marked on tons/plastic containers, includes wrappers. These can make up to as much as 15% of the marked weight.
*The factory in which they're made is a little over three miles, by road, from where I'm sat now.

My grandad always said roses were improved by some horse manure.
Heās probably not wrong.

My wife eat more of that type of chocolate than I do, but definitely prefers Roses over QS. Celebrations run Roses close, sometimes she prefers one, sometimes the other. Heroes aren't in the frame at all.
When I do have some, celebrations are definitely my preferred choice, not too fussed between QS and Roses.
But Thornton's continentals streets ahead of any of those.

I prefer Cadbury chocolate to NestlƩ so it's Roses for me out of the two. It's OK if anyone disagrees as it's down to personal preference. It does, however, mean that if you prefer quality street, your judgment can't be relied upon thus rendering your opinion irrelevant.

I never ever thought I'd hear anyone say that. It's now closer to American chocolate than it's ever been.

American chocolate is about as nice as English coffee or Indian Chinese takeaway.

I don't think that's unusual as I'm the same, I think its probably just what you get used with but I always feel there's an bit of an after taste with nestle.
Whilst I agree, American chocolate isn't the best, does it no just come down to sugar content?
