Anyone had these? I had a huge bag of them that I bought for Cadbury world last year and hadnt eaten them yet - unfortunately by now they were a bit soft/melted so I put them in the freezer/fridge for a bit.

If I'd known they were (basically) the best centres from Cadbury's Roses I would have had them earlier. really nice
Why arent they sold in the shops? They seem to have lots of normal chocolate and caramels in!

Blimey - that was a blast from the past !!! My Gran used to buy bags of Mis-shapes from the market at Chesterfield when i was a kid. I used to look forward to seeing down and eating them with the family in the evenings.

She also bought broken biscuits, which you dont see often nowadays.

I'm pretty sure they are sold in Iceland? I once bought a bag and they were full of the fudge and caramel hazelnut chocolates from Roses

I agree with you I thought misshapes meant they were factory produce that went a bit wrong but are still fine to eat - I came across ones that look like those Hazelnut caramel ones in Roses (the purple ones) but are just normal chocolate etc.
They're really nice though!

Yea I noticed that too! On the back it said "Apple filling, apricot filling" in the ingredients so I thought "ewwwww" but they're full of fudges and caramels and hazelnut in caramels
Do you mean Iceland the country or Iceland the store?

You used to be able to get them in Woolworths (the store, not the country).

They're packaged in brown bags, usually £1, from Poundies/Iceland etc, and they're called World Famous Assorted Chocolates or something like that. Its got yellowish writing. Mostly caramels as far as i've noticed, but there's the odd gem! I got loads of those luxury Roses ones in the last pack I bought!! Yum!

They sell Cadbury misshapes in a few of our local shops - in 'Cadbury' bags, but then we do live in Brum.

They sell these in the cadbury outlet store not far from me at McArther Glen outlet place(not sure about the spelling!) I think they have several outlet places around you might be able to track some down there too!

They sell them in the Cadbury shop in the McArthur Glen outlet in Swindon, I don't know about the York outlet village though, didn't see one last time I was there but that was about 4 yrs ago.

I bought 6 bags in the Cadbury shop at the Bridgend MacArthur Glen.
It's about the only shop worth visiting at that chavvy place!

The real cadburys misshapes can only be bought from Cadbury factory shop / Cadbury World or the cadbury outlet stores.

I think they are 750g in a white bag with purple writing on them. They are normally £3.29, but if you have a cadbury card to get access to the factory shop in Bournville then they are only £1!!!
