Oh! What a shame

I have accepted over the years that the quality street tins have reduced in size, the quantity of content is less although the price stays the same.

But now, it seems that I have to accept that the individual wrappings make some sweets difficult, if not impossible to eat.

The toffees are wrapped partly with a foul which is tucked into the actual sweet making it very hard to fully remove in one piece. The option is to pick out pieces stuck into the toffee or eat the foil as well.

Unfortunately linked with the noticeable drop in quality over the years my overall disappointment has to reflect in my review

Love these chocolates

Best box of variety of chocolates. Only problem is that they come in Canada near Christmas. So I wait the whole year to buy them. Hazelnut chocolate is my favorite. Good thing is variety satisfies all family members. Wonderful taste. Love it

The quality has dropped dramatically.

The quality has deteriorated tremendously. It tastes like cheap cooking chocolate. So dissapointed. The cost is not the problem as nobody minds paying if a product is up to a certain standard and reminds you of the good old rich and creamy quality street chocs that takes you back to your childhood days. It will never be nostalgia in a bag for me.

Not too bad if you want a variety of chocolates

Fairly decent mix of different chocolates, and there's something for everyone. The price is also super reasonable. There are some onside that contain nuts though, so be super cautious if you have a nut allergy! But the do include a picture graphic that will tell you what's what. I love the ones with strawberry creme inside

Used to be great

Just cracked open a tin to share for Easter and I have to admit I'm disappointed. We've had Quality Street every year for Christmas since I as born, in the 80's, and while I haven't eaten many pieces in the last decade I can certainly tell the recipe and manufacturing has changed substantially, but the price of course has stayed expensive. I know they've added and removed chocolates from the list, and I feel the absence of the classics that are now gone. The chocolate is weirdly not like chocolate any more, it used to be a really flavorful milk chocolate but now it tastes like fake chocolate. The creams are more artificial, overly sweet and stale. The chocolate coatings are paper thin. I remember the joy and wonder in seeing the shiny tempered chocolate coatings crackle when bitten and to see the layering. The chocolates now are skimpier, smaller and possibly not even tempered correctly. It makes me suspicious that no where on the tin does it indicate that these are in fact chocolates! They're referred to as sweets. Also, there are pictures of the chocolates that they got rid of still on the tin, what a tease! For the price and quality you're better off supporting your local chocolatier instead. I give two stars only because my nan still loves them but I think for her it's more about brand loyalty because she's British and these are quintessentially British.

Treasure Chest of Chocolates!

I love this tin of yummy chocolates! It makes a great gift especially if you get it on sale. I also love to receive this tin as a gift. I like to close my eyes and pick one delicious treat @ a time. I love all of the choices, but my fav is the blue wrapped coconut!

The recipes seem to have changed

Yesterday I saw a really good - unprecedented good value - deal for Quality Street. Before Christmas! Unfortunately, after eating a few chocolates I think I know how the price could be so low (10.99 Canadian for the big tin).

Some of the flavours are still very good, but the fillings now have so much sugar they are almost inedible. It feels as if Nestle is substituting sugar for the more expensive ingredients so as to keep prices down. After a few forbiddingly sweet chocolates, I couldn't eat any more. I will take the rest of the tin to the office tomorrow. I'm now having a weird, unpleasant sugar rush from those chocolates. Never again.

Missing my favorites

I used to buy quality street for the cremes peppermint orange and strawberry and give the rest to others. Maybe eat the toffee sticks and penny and caramel. All the rest I don't enjoy.so Woolworths was selling purple tubs for 25 bucks and they went on sale 12.50 so I thought it's been awhile I was looking forward to the cremes no peppermint and no Turkish delight what nooooo strawberry and orange are perfect texture yet lacking the essence of strawberry and orange. I hope you restore the peppermint and make it better and the strawberry and orange and Turkish delight raspberry would a nice edition put the cremes in separate containers to sell. I would buy every week.
Thanks quality street if you think my review is worth considering

Quality street chocolates

Yum Yum! I love these chocolates and so do my teenage children. My favourites are the orange cremes and the strawberry ones I just wish there would be more of these in the tins.

you'll have to hide these!

Quality Street chocolates do not last long in my home, you have to hide them if you want to be certain that you're even gonna get your share, that's how much my family loves these chocolates!
