As a youngster I always liked the coffee creams that were included in many boxed selections. Over the years these seemed to be fazed out. Imagine my delight this morning, I had been gifted a small box of Black Magic by my lovely neighbour and to my delight there was coffee creams included in the selection. What's your best or least favourite in a box of choccies?
i too love coffee creams, my favourite filling but there are not many chocolates or ice cream that you can get in coffee. The salted caramel icecream seems to have taken over.The best coffee icecream at the moment is tesco finest cafe au lait, I find. would prefer a bit stronger but at least there is a coffee one.
I love very dark chocolate with nuts but also a good quality coffee creme. I bought DH a small box of Charbonnel and Walker Whisky truffles for Xmas wow they are nice!
I bought Black Magic in B and M. Meant to open it for family today but everyone was so full. So it’s coffee and orange cream for me. Mum used to love the orange cream so I would have the coffee. Not a big chocolate fan but love violet and roses. Best ever is Leonidas white chocolate manon with a hazelnut. Struggle to eat the nuts nowadays. Just threw my Easter egg in the bin as there was no room in the fridge.
I've always loved the Guylian box of solid Belgian chocolate seahorses and sea shells. Everyone in the family knows that the seahorses are MINE!! Last year there was a whole box of seahorses only, slightly smaller than usual, but bliss... This year I received a "Guylian' box of tiny seahorses with soft toffee filling...nothing like the ones I love... The chocolate was also inferior.... I couldn't find the seashells boxes anywhere. Why oh why do things have to change...? Christmas just wasn't the same this year...
Does anyone remember the lime cordial half barrels in milk tray. I used to love these as does anyone I mention them to from my generation. Interested to know if anyone else remembers them
I remember them! Loved them. Chocolates ain't what they used to be

I dislike fruity cream chocolates. I used to quite like the coffee ones but not enough to seek them out especially. My favourite chocolates are anything nutty, toffees or caramels (but NOT salted!). I also hate anything 'flowery' like violet/rose creams or Turkish delight.
Worst of all were the strawberry creams with orange creams a very close second. I liked the coffee creams though but best of all were the hard centred ones.
