Review of Nestle Quality Street

Nestlé Quality Streets are delicious and are sold in a few different sized packages. Quality Streets are a firm favourite of mines because they taste great and there is a good assortment of chocolate in each box or tin. Nestlé Quality Streets were launched in 1936 and are still an extremely popular boxed twist wrap assortment. ==Packaging== Quality Streets can be bought either in the form of a carton, jar or hexagonal shaped tin. You can buy a ~ ...
...*900g plastic jar Even although Nestlé Quality Streets are sold in different sized cartons and tins the colour and logo of the packaging remains the same on each of them. They all still have the same bright purple coloured packaging with the bold white Nestlé Quality Streets logo printed on them. So they are easily identified by their brightly coloured packaging. ==Contents== Each pack of Nestlé Quality Streets are jammed packed full of different ...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

Nestle Quality Street is something you can crack open whether it’s Christmas, you’re having a party or you’re just in the mood to spoil yourself. With so many wickedly tempting varieties, it’s a timeless selection that never loses its appeal to me. I am writing this with a newly opened box and generally feeling a bit sorry for myself (the kids have so far been off nursery for two weeks and it’s just starting to get on my nerves a bit). So I thought ...
...too! THE PACKAGING Nestle Quality Street comes in a few different packages. You can buy these delicious sweets in large hexagon tins (hmm… I think it’s hexagon shaped anyway…), in a small carton or a larger sized carton (guess which one I’ve got!!). Nah, I’ve only got the large carton (gee I say that like it’s nothing…) and it’s vibrant purple packaging stands out a mile next to it’s competitors. With the Nestle Quality Street logo on the front ...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

...on their own. Unwrapped Nestle have stamped a little bow on the top of the chocolate for decoration. It smelt of milk chocolate with a hint of orange. Inside the milk chocolate there is a sort of cream/ganache filling with crunchy orange flavoured bits. I found that these were best enjoyed if you let them melt on your tongue. The orange flavour is not as powerful as the Orange Crème, it is much more subtle and compliments the creamier milk chocolate. ...
...discernable smell is that of Nestle chocolate which is basically what this chocolate is except that there is a hazelnut lurking in its depths. I find the best way to enjoy these is to suck the chocolate off first because that way you can enjoy the creamy chocolate taste which is similar in taste to a Yorkie bar. As you suck you slowly reveal the hazelnut and when all the chocolate has gone you then chew the hazelnut, releasing its wonderfully rich ...

...is a doppelganger for the Nestle Rolo. Biting into the chocolate confirms that this is indeed a Rolo in disguise with runny caramel sauce erupting from the milk chocolate shell when any kind of tooth pressure is applied. ●Strawberry Dream● Not my favourite of the Quality Street family this chocolate comes wrapped in bright red cellophane. Unlike most of the other chocolates in this collection the Strawberry Dream is plain chocolate ...
...the Strawberry Dream is one to avoid in my opinion. ●Country Fudge● I love fudge in any shape or form so I pulled apart the pink cellophane that keeps this chocolate fresh with reckless abandon. Country Fudge is another oval shaped chocolate and is soft to the chew. A delicious sugary taste envelopes the mouth as it disintegrates easily and the hint of creaminess stays on the palette long after the sweet has gone. ●Milk Chocolate ...

After eating mini heroes and celebrations I had forget how nice these were, you can beat the good old established brands like quality street and roses, when I was a young boy my Nan used to have a big tin of quality street under the Christmas tree every year and they used to last well into February. ...
...they are so popular so nestle make bigger versions of these for 25p individually. Orange chocolate crunch: a nice chocolate in orange foil and octagon in shape. The chocolate is nice with an orange flavour and a crunchy centre. Noisette triangle: when I was a boy these were my favourite. Covered in green foil this chocolate is very tasty with soft chocolate in the middle. Coconut éclair: comes in a blue wrapper and is rectangle in shape, it tastes ...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

...‘COUNTY FUDGE’ is covered in Nestle chocolate too. Magic! Another sweet to suck on and let linger in your mouth until the last flavoursome piece has melted away. A newish arrival in the Quality Street box is that of the ‘ORANGE CHOCOLATE CRUNCH’. Sorry, but this is a little disappointing. I thoroughly enjoy the fusion of chocolate and orange, but for some reason the addition of the crunchy bits of nut don’t seem to ‘do it’ for me. Still, each to ...
...favourite – the ‘HAZELNUT ÉCLAIR’. I’ll quite contendely pass on this one. The purple and gold wrapper is better than the sweet inside, to my mind. It’s not really much of an éclair – more of a Yuck-clair! …Nuff said The Price ? Depends how big a box or tin you want. Usually a big tin ideal for Xmas or family get together comes in at around 1.5 kg I think and you can pick it up for £7.99 (if you are lucky). Or just take one of the 1lb boxes for ...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

Since it was Xmas my dad decided to buy a tin of quality streets and seem as though we were all supposed to be dieting it seemed like a very bad idea.After all as everyone who is on a diet knows once you've tasted something sweet and bad for you,you know you're gonna want it again and again.But since it is Xmas I thought why not just 1 sweet won't hurt.Now 3 weeks after xmas,a new yoga workout and a boxing workout to match I wish i'd just said No.But ...
...Well there is quite a good variety in the tin and definately something that everyone will love!Here is a list of what you will find within your tin: Milk Chocolate Hazelnut:This is a nice solid chocolate and I'd have to say that the hazelnut definately gives the milk chocolate a better taste :-) Caramel cup:This to me tasted like the caramel barrels you get in cadbury's Roses.Obviously the taste of the chocolate was a little different but apart ...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

Ahh...A new toy, some bits and pieces in my stocking and a Chocolate variety pack. Christmas morning and there is turkey in the air... But hold on, there is a large metallic box on the table. Its white with purple green and red writing on it. This is the start of a Christmas tradition that still haunts me today. Yes, its the invasion of the quality street tin. A box so heavy that a party of 5 children are needed to steal it from the glutonous relatives ...
...getaway vehicle in the shape of a childs trolley is needed to push it away from the lounge without taking out the doorposts. Obviously I exaggerate slightly here but I am right about these sweets. They are definitely a Christmas Purchase. When do you ever see them other than at tht festive time? Packaging. yes, they come in a tin. A large tin with about a kilo of lovelies and not so lovelies inside. They also come in smaller quantities in the ...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

Did you know that Nestle was founded in 1866? I was quite surprised when I found that one out, because you would have thought that after nearly 150 years, they would have finally worked out how to make nice chocolates. It wasn't until the 1980s that they suddenly went around buying up all the great confectionary companies in other contries. Remember how nice Rowntree fruitgums used to be? Well if like me, you suddenly noticed their flavour go down ...
...that Nestle took over. So you get the idea that I don't like Nestle that much then? Well you would be completley correct, so you won't be surprised when my opinion of Nestle Quality Street isn't particularly nice either. A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY The brand was introduced in 1936 and named after a JM Barrie play (of Peter Pan fame) and the figures on the box were inspired by the two principal characters. When it was launched,Quality Street cost two ...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

I went to visit my Auntie Jackie on Boxing Day and sat waiting for the moment she would say, 'Here's your present, open it then.' So she passed it to me. I was excited, ooh what did she get us, what is it? "Mmmm, Quality Street." My wife said, well yes, thanks for spoiling the suprise. I absolutely adore Quality street, but, is it me or where there a lot more in them when we were younger? Ah so what I was going to open and eat them anyway. Well ...
...tin, now stop getting jealous, I'm sure I can fit the blue ones into the computer. So lets have a run down of the sweets and their funky coloured wrappers. - The Green One - This is a hazelnut eclair. I'll bit into it first shall I? Very Very chewy and not crunchy at all. A mixture of toffee and nut covered in chocolate. Tastes a bit like that nutella stuff to me. - The Orange Hexagon - This is one of their newer ones called The Orange chocolate ...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

I love Christmas and am lucky to have friends and family to enjoy it with. A product I always associate with Christmas is Quality Street as it always seems to have been around at this special time of year. Today somehow it appears much more ordinary and less luxurious than the packaging and media hype would have you believe. Still popular in offices and mess rooms, it seems many people still feel the urge to dip into a tin and select their personal ...
...I think this assortment still represents a savvy buy at Christmas or thereabouts. == Value For Money == Local supermarkets were knocking out a 1.2 kg tin (which is 1.16kg sweets if you exclude the wrappings) at the rate of any 2 for £9.00 just before Christmas. This equates to less than 39p per 100g for a well known and branded chocolate and toffee assortment, which just has to be fantastic value for money if you like this type of product as an ...

As you know I absolutaly hate chocolates, cant stand them, (oh yeah right), thats why right now... I think I am in heaven I am sat here with a massive box of chocolates, Quality Street of course, my daughter bought them for us for Christmas and in a temporary lapse of madness I forgot about them, I mean how could I forget such a wonderful,luscious present as big as this. The box I have is a 1.7kg box and is too heavy for me to lift so my lovely ...
...can talk to you about them and of course purely for on your behalf have the job of chief taster. First of all the box cost £7.00 and it’s a hexagonal shape with the shapes of the chocolates sort of shaped out so you can feel each one and all the pretty colours are there,Green,Purple,Orange, Yellow. At the top of the tin it says Quality Street in large white letters, again the letters are cut so they stand out and all around the side it has pictures ...
