riane Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 What do you do with the Quality Street, Roses or Celebrations that are left in the tin that "Ooops, word censored!"ody in the family likes? Anybody want to swop? or any good recipes? I have got QS; coconut eclair toffee delux toffee penny milk choc block Roses; brazilian darkness praline moment Celebrations snickers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 it's usually the hard toffee ones that get left in our house but they get eaten eventually, once there's nothing else left (sweet-wise) in the house. When I have a desperate need for something sugary moment, then I reach for that toffee penny so callously overlooked previously Could you make toffee vodka with them? My friend made toffee vodka by putting some werthers originals in some vodka and letting them dissolve. Maybe it would work with toffee penny sweets???

Guest Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 or you could unwrap them all, bung them in the micro and melt them down and use as a topping for ice cream? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I'd be tempted to have a go at that ice cream pudding of Nigellas. Chop them up and mix into 2l of vanilla ice cream. Tip into a cake tin lined with cling film and re-freeze. To serve, tip out and drizzle with warm maple syrup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 The only chocolates I can never eat are coffee flavoured chocolates. They make me physically ill, they go in the bin I'm afraid Does anyone actually like coffee flavoured chocolate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura & CTB Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 One of the few occasions where CTB and I are a perfect match - I love all the nut ones and toffees and he loves the "horrible ones" (strawberry, orange and coffee). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Sounds like we should swap left over sweets Maria, no-one in our house likes soft centres, so it's only the toffee ones that get eaten. We're very wasteful with sweets I'm afraid, I don't buy them because I anticipate the waste, and then we get given them as gifts . Usually the children will end up eating the fudge and cocunut ones in desperation, the orange, strawberry and coffee creams all end up in the bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Soft centres here in our house! I love pralines & truffles, strawberry cream, coffee cream, turkish delight. Don't really like the toffee ones - they usually get left. I think I need a toffee vodka recipe & instructions asap!!! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessa the Duchess Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 This thread is so funny....because...We were given a huge tin of 'Roses' but it came without a 'pattern' and as we don't normally eat sweets "Ooops, word censored!"ody has any idea what the different ones are I was considering asking you all if someone could tell me which were the coffee and orange ones yum and which were the strawberry and cherry ones yuk Neither of us eats the hard toffee ones because we have both recently had mega £££dental work, so toffee is a no no.
