Nestlé Quality Street

Quintessential British chocolates, this stuff. It’s a real family favourite and has been for as long as I can remember. I’ve got 12 flavours here to munch through, I’ve heard there’s 15 but in the tin we only had 12, I even checked the card that came with it and supposedly that’s all that was there, so there’s not much I can do about that. Here we go!

Caramel Cup – Too sticky for my liking, you have to eat the whole thing in one go or you run the risk of caramel dropping down either your chin or onto your floor.

Malt Toffee – Possibly the chewiest chocolate I’ve ever had. It gets really sticky in your mouth as well, stay away from this one because it doesn’t even taste nice.

Hazelnut Eclair – Very nice. A solid block of milk chocolate with a single hazelnut sat right in the middle. A favourite of mine.

Chocolate Coconut Eclair – Coconut is where it’s at. This one is very good. You expect a Bounty clone, but it’s different. Perhaps not as nice, but still very good.

Chocolate Strawberry Cream – I grew up hating these, I remember opening a tin and finding all the chocolates gone except for these damn things. They’re not that bad at all, but they’re the worst in the tin. If you like strawberry fondant you’ll love these though.

Toffee Finger – I don’t know whose finger they based this off because it’s tiny! Still it’s much better than the Malt Toffee, considering that this is just ordinary milk chocolate with ordinary toffee. Still a bit sticky, but pretty nice.

Vanilla Fudge – Easily one of the best in the tin. This is delicious vanilla flavoured fudge covered in milk chocolate. The only worry is eating these without a bright light overhead, you may mistake the Malt Toffees for these instead, as they use the same wrapping and only a slightly different colour scheme.

Chocolate Orange Crème – Similar to the Strawberry Cream in design, and similar in the way that I avoid it a little. It’s very strong in flavour, too strong for my liking.

Orange Chocolate Crunch – Hardly any orange in this at all, it’s got little crunchy bits in it, and is orange flavoured chocolate, but it’s very tame, and is now not orangey enough, at least to be considered orange chocolate, that is.

Toffee Penny – The only sweet in here without any chocolate at all, this is a small, flat, circular slab of toffee. It’s very good really, it’s not too sticky but expect to have little sticky parts in your teeth afterwards.

Noisette Triangle – I wasn’t sure which one to end with out of this and the hazelnut caramel. This is delicious and one of the first in the tin to go. It’s a little unremarkable, but it’s just really nice chocolate, and that’s why it goes.

Milk Chocolate Hazelnut – I actually regret leaving this to the end because it wasn’t as nice as I was expecting it to be. Perhaps because this was the last one in the tin, but it was overly sticky and the hazelnut didn’t really come through much. Usually these are very good though.

Quality Street are great for the family, around Christmas time. Most likely there’s always someone in your house who likes the flavours you don’t, and it’s rare that the tin will have chocolates remaining, the only thing that annoys me is when people put the wrappers back in the tin, and wrap them in a way that makes you think that they still have chocolates in, only to find they’re empty, oh the fun we had as kids!
