If you get an old tin of these they can be a bit nasty as any chocolate candy would, but when you get a fresh batch they can be delicious.

My Mom was Welsh and it was a Christmas tradition in her family to have a tin of Quality Street Candy. Since my mother was a war bride and moved to Streator Illinois she used to get a tin sent to her every Christmas.

It quickly became our family favorite and was missed dearly when her parents passed away.

We were able to find a source in Canada that would stock these tins between the US Thanksgiving and Christmas. We started up the tradition again and our entire family loves Quality Street.

Both of my parents have passed away but our Quality Street tradition lives on even stronger as do our memories of these special times.

Are they the best chocolates in the world? Maybe not, but to our family they are magical.

It is easy to be a critic, but it takes an open mind and desire to learn in order to fully see the beauty that exists everywhere.

I agree… these should be called No-Quality Street.

Ever since I came to Canada it has been an integral part of Christmas Holidays – I love it – so do another 100 people that I know.

Sorry to hear that you hate “Nestle Quality Street”

Sincerely,

I have to say, I didn’t think these were so bad (I do like the purple one best) and I’m not British. LOL But probably not worth what they cost in US either.
Cadbury Roses (you probably already know this) are a similar concept but MUCH better, I thought. If you haven’t tried them, I recommend them.
