I've just discovered my new favourite Christmas treat! We had a big order delivered from Hotel Chocolat and they threw in a free bag of 'Gingerbread Puddles', which look like your bog-standard chocolate buttons but taste exactly like homemade gingerbread. They are amazing! We scoffed the lot in about five seconds.

Yep - back to Roses here as well - that decision to get rid of the truffles was diabolical

Out of those three, it has to be Roses.

Roses years ago were the best, then Heroes come along and were great but now they have changed the selection and I only like the creme egg things, dairy milk and twirl in then, bring back the fuse!!!! Quality street is my least favourite which is a bugger as thats the one tin brought the most at work/at friends etc however I will eat the orange and strawberry cremes from them. My favourite chocolate to have at xmas is a tie between terrys chocolate orange, ferrero rocher and after eights....love them

They what?! That was one of main reasons to get them.... This deserves a protest march. Somewhere.

What, no Heroes on your list?

Have never really cared for Quality Street, apart from the green triangle. Celebrations (and Heroes) are ok, but I think Roses are the best of those.

Better still are Mingles. If you can find them!

Any. Roses and Quality Street now seem to be 99% caramel/toffee. Which is fine for me as I love that but I used to remember only being able to eat a couple of them, now there's barely any I dislike.

They are just fab! Had some last year... shame they dont last longer
I'm hoping santa will be bringing me plenty of Hotel Chocolat treats

Abtey chocolate liqueurs, theoretically available in Waitrose.

Haven't been in stock for a couple of weeks, unfortunately.
