What has happened to.....

[micmak]

Cadbury's chocolate. I bought a box of Milk Tray for Mrs mm. The chocolate on them tastes like cheap bars you get in the pound shop. On top of that there was no coffee cream. What a waste of money.

My advent calendar is a bit hit and miss too and that's cadburies... I think coffee creams were just banned for being grim though ;oP

China, I like coffee creams.

[China Doll]

I know, that's why I was teasing...

[snags]

You bought some chocs for the missus and ate them yourself?

[cupid04]

Coffee cream are my favourite, they seem to have disappeared from other boxes of
chocolates as well.

[micmak]

Only one snags.

I love coffee creams and cupid is quite right you can't find them in any boxes of chocs. these days. Double Bah Humbug!

[askyourgran]

Absolutely hate coffee creams, I don't like our (UK) chocolate at all even Thorntons. it seems tasteless and looks plastic, I bought some Cherry Liqueurs from Lidl that were very nice though, and some fruit and nut chocolate, in fact I went back and got a few boxes for stocking fillers.

I like coffee creams also-it's those horrid strawberry creams that I hate.I've started getting my choccies from ALDI...can't be too bad.

Strawberry (and orange) creeams are nicer than the coffee versions which are really sickly.

Personally, if anyone is the least bit interested, I like all soft centres but hate nuts and hard centres - if it's soft toffee yes, but if it's hard I leave it for someone else.

Does anywhere still do Pic'n'Mix where they have loose Roses chocs so you can pick out your favourites?
I used to come away with a bagful of orange creams

I make my own coffee truffles :12oz white choc. 1oz ground almonds 1oz unsalted butter, 3 egg yolks 2 tabs double cream 1 tab instant coffee made up with as little water as possible (or CAMP coffee. Melt the choc and butter gently until both melted. Add double cream and egg yolks after it has cooled slightly. Mix in the coffee a little at a time until the desired strength of flavour is achieved. Put to chill in the fridge. Roll walnut size piece of the chilled mixture in soft brown sugar.These are awesome and so much nicer than coffee creams. You can add any flavour you want to the basic mixture. I have added brandy and rolled the mixture in caster sugar. also nice rolled in dessicated coconut or grated white chocolate. Salivating as we speak LOL
