Hi, wasn't sure if this was the best forum to write in but it vaguely fits...

In 2001 I went to Australia and had some really nice chocolates made by Darrell Lea (http://www.dlea.com.au). They were boxed chocolates, but pretty hard, chunky and chewy chocolates... I haven't found anything like these in the UK, does anyone have any recommendations for anything that may taste similar or any place I can go to get hard, chewy chocolates of various flavours?

Thanks

Make your own?

Terry's used to make a hard centres selection called Spartan. I have not seen them for many years though.

Thornton's sell loose chocolates so you can pick out your own hard centres. I like soft centres myself.

I like the hard ones often too.

Soft ones for me.

Which are the best?

Whichever a person prefers.

There must be a favourite.

The only way to find out would be to do a survey.

soft centres definitely, ooh, old quality street gooseberry creams anyone?? but if i choose a hard centre it is usually a nutty one as opposed to a chewy toffee one, i prefer my caramel softer. but there is a place for everything

Gooseberry Creams . They brought them back recently but they did not taste the same.

I loved the Lime Barrels in Milk Tray too. Boxed chocolates used to have lovely soft centres - cherry creams, blackcurrant cups, ginger and raisin creams - but now it's all boring pralines and truffles.

Thorntons do a selection of fruit creams but they aren't the best
quality. I think Cadbury's should do a selection box of various
creams.

Go on ask them. I bet they are just sitting by the computer/phone/mail box just waiting for suggestions to make.

Tell them CDM with fruit creams. They might just buy it.
