Food and drink? General discussion? Chatter?

I didn't realise that but I'm glad I don't like those flavours

The best are those golden round ones.

In the Roses one I love the purple ones with the hazelnut in.

Does anyone think that although they are like cheap as chips to buy the boxes don't have as many choccies in as they used to?

Yeah I also feel the quality of the chocolate and the fillings has gone slightly downhill, same with "Milk tray"

No need to wonder, the answer is simple.... it is because they are rank.

In my opinion of course.

Glad it's not just me - I agree with the fillings thing as well. They don't just have that same WOW when you eat them especially the hazelnut ones.

In fact Cadbury's chocolate just isn't the same as it was

Plus there talk about portions getting smaller to retain the same price value come the new year just in time of the VAT hike.

My opinion also. I love a cup of nice strong real coffee, but coffee flavoured chocolates are vile !

They should still put them in though - then we could share - I'd have the toffees and nuts you could have the coffee creams!

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. I find them all too sickly sweet now & I do miss the coffee ones.

They're my favourites! It's impossible to find coffee flavoured chocolate these days.

Hey, what about me??

I miss the coffee ones too! I'll eat the orange creams, but not too fond of the strawberry ones.

I miss the days (last year!) when you could buy a bar of coffee flavoured galaxy chocolate. *sigh* *drool*

Oooh yes, so do I! Thank heavens for Whittards! In fact, it is the only way I will eat white chocolate (*barf smilie*). But sometimes I want smooth creamy coffee chocolate and not bitty crunchy stuff.

Ok, this is now sounding slightly naughty - I'd better go

They were the worst in the tin. Along with those strawberry creams. They tastes like sick in chocolate. Not that I have ever tasted sick!
