| Yule's Chocolates | 🍫 | 2025-01-14T12:10:59.087Z |

I judge these Christmassy chocolates Not Quality Enough (most of the time) |
|
Here I am, two weeks into 2025, and I've reached the Quality Street Watershed. I've nibbled my way through all the "good" ones, those remaining after we were given one at our Christmassy gathering, and now each colourful chocolate I unwrap is just the slightest bit disappointing.
Naturally there is a pecking (scoffing?) order to these treats, and I decided to rank them as I worked my way through:
| Name (Count1) | Notes |
|---|---|
| Orange Chocolate Crunch (5) | The undeniable best. These were gone before I blinked. |
| The Green Triangle (4) | Hazelnutty deliciousness. Yes please. |
| The Purple One (6) | Surprised me with tastiness. I'd normally leave these lower down the list! |
| Milk Chocolate Block (4) | Solid chocolatey punch. Dependable. Probably in the mid-highs on everyone's list. |
| Caramel Swirl (8) | I prefer my chocs with a bit of a bite, so the caramel innards lower this a little, but still delicious. |
| Orange Creme (7) | Just a little too intense to be good enough for the faves. You could probaby twist my arm though. |
| Fudge (6) | So plain. So dry‽ Meh incarnate. |
| Coconut Eclair (7) | Coconut shouldn't exist in chocolate form. I'm looking at you too Bounty. But at least it's still chocolate. |
| Toffee Penny (6) | IT'S IN MY TEETH. |
| Toffee Finger (6) | Chewy in summer, but rock hard an impenetrable in their native time of year. Or maybe I |
| Strawberry Delight (7) | I refuse to accept that anyone finds these tasty. NOPE. |
That gap in the middle? That's the watershed. Once I've eaten down the list that far I know that the holiday season is truly over, and it's time to embrace the new year.
Though I didn't count what came in this tin1, I'm also cynically unsurprised that my "worth eating" chocs are only 5 of the 11 types2, and make up even less by count at just 40% of the tin! Here's to having friends with different tastes & sharing with them 😅

I didn't count mine — they were a gift during a house party we were throwing and it seemed… perhaps a tad antisocial to count them right then, or to forbid anyone from eating them that night 😅 These counts are from the first search result that claimed to have counted them this winter. ↩︎

Yes, the post's title is also a 5 letter anagram of the 11 unique letters in "quality street". So "clever" is this reference that I have to explain it. In detail. ↩︎
