Low quality

Very low quality in all aspects. The chocolate tasted like cooking chocolate. Flavours weren’t the best/a bit bland, and why do they have names like “the purple one”? That’s not descriptive as to how it tastes? Don’t like the dark purple plastic hexagon they come in either. Needs a complete remodel

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

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.

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.

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.

I don't like these chocolates at all . I think they taste weird . It's a good concept where there are many different flavours in one tin but I just don't like the taste of any of them. I tastes like cheap chocolate to me .

These chocolates are always around at Christmas time. There is a good variety in each box but maybe two flavors are worth eating. Not a huge fan. I would rather ingest calories on a good chocolate.
