My parents used to have a box of Roses and a box of Quality Street every Christmas. I liked the Roses ones better:
- Brazilian Darkness - A chewy toffee square with pieces of brazil nuts, coated in dark chocolate (red plastic-foil twist-wrapper with gold twists).
- Cadbury Dairy Milk - One rectangular chunk of Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate divided into two squares (classic purple plastic-foil twist-wrapper, bearing 'Cadbury Dairy Milk' and the traditional 'pint and a half' logo). However, this is the only chocolate in the selection where the wrapper does not bear the 'Cadbury Roses' logo - all others do.
- Golden Barrel - Milk chocolate in the shape of half a barrel, filled with caramel (was formerly wrapped in gold foil, now in gold plastic-foil twist-wrapper). Previously named Caramel Keg.
- Caramel Velvet - Cadbury Caramel piece, with added truffle inside (wrapped in green plastic-foil).
- Country Fudge - Rectangular fudge piece, coated in milk chocolate (wrapped in light brown plastic-foil).
- Hazel in Caramel - Crescent-shaped milk chocolate with hazelnut plant engraving on top, filled with caramel and a hazelnut (purple plastic-foil twist-wrapper) (my Dad's favourite)
- Hazel Whirl - Dome-shaped milk chocolate, patterned with spiral twirl, with hazelnut in centre (purple plastic-foil twist-wrapper with orange twists).(my own favourite)
- Strawberry Dream - Square-shaped milk chocolate with strawberry seed engravings on top, filled with strawberry-flavoured cream fondant (pink plastic-foil twist-wrapper).
- Tangy Orange Creme - Square-shaped milk chocolate with orange engraving on top, filled with orange-flavoured creme fondant (wrapped in orange plastic-foil twist-wrapper).

It got eaten along with all the chocs
Quality Street because of the toffee penny's and chocolate fingers.
They used to have a blue wrapped sweet that was chocolate outside and like a glassy caramel?? inside. A cracknel or something?? Ahh I can't remember but it was my fav and they took it away
I like both but Roses are my favourite
I'm a traditionalist - I like quality Street. When I think back to being a child we used to have a really small tin (between the whole family) - it was a real treat when it was opened up and handed round.
We now have huge tins of every kind and I bet they don't last as long as that little tin used to.

So you havn't given it much thought then
Black Magic is my weakness.
I also like Galaxy counters.
I don't know - but I have bought a tin of each and will give you feedback (!!) when they are all gone
Roses - but I only ever eat the orange and strawberry creams
Where did the Coffee Creams go?
hoochie ate them as well
Where did the Coffee Creams go?
I love cofffee creams, too.
Roses - but I only ever eat the orange and strawberry creams
I do that .. but with Quality Street.
Quality Street cos of the flat pennies, and chocolate covered toffees
Me too
There's a full tin of quality street strawberry creams on eBay!
I prefer Roses if they're being brought to the house - when it comes to buying stuff for myself - Bendicks Bitter Mints or Bitter Oranges are the ultimate - such intense flavour you only need a couple ...those were the sweets that helped me lose weight!
neither, chocolate brazils or mint creams for me please
am i allowed to pick my faves out of each box and mix them up?
if not, can i choose celebrations?
if not, i guess i would have to say roses
Out of the two, i like Roses because Cadburys is my fave choccie, but Q street reminds me of Christmas more...
Roses!! Though, I liked them even more when they used to do coffee creams!!
Where did the Coffee Creams go?
To the depths of hell where they belong
