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.

Ooooh does anyone remember Violet and Rose creams???

You just reminded me with your post oldspice.

I used to love those, now who made them??? I cannot think.

I LOVE Rose and Violet Creams. You can still get them but they are wildly expensive. Waitrose do a single layer box (about 12 chocs) for over £5.

I don't remember any of the big companies making them.

I remembered who it was that made the creams I love.....

Whitaker's Chocolates of Skipton.

I used to work in a chocolate shop in Ilkley (in Yorkshire) and I used to sell these. Oh they are gorgeous. All the chocolates they make are wonderful but these I just loved.

Julian Graves sell Rose and Violet creams as I mentioned on the general discussion board - I think they're 4 pound per box, but since there's a half price sale they should be 2 pound.

Good you pointed that out kev as not everyone can work out that something that is £4 will be £2 if half price.

Well, you never know

loulou · « **Reply #24 on:** December 04, 2006, 03:34:24 pm »

That's true.

Actually I did need Kev to point that out, as he'd said on another thread they were £4 and half price - I didn't know if that meant they were £8 originally. I'm glad to see they weren't!

Oh Goody we have a Julian Graves in the Pringles shop not too far from us so I will go in and have a look.

Thankyou.

What's a Pringles shop? Never heard of it.

Velvet Darkness · « **Reply #29 on:** December 05, 2006, 10:13:17 pm »

Pringles of Scotland made fine quality luxury fashion knitwear. In the olden days they had a shop on Saville row in London where all the best tailors were. They opened shops in all the large towns throughout the UK selling their knitwear and other specialist items. It's very posh. (Unfortunately their items of knitwear are all made of pure new wool to which I am incredibly allergic so unfortunately all I get from it is the itches. LOL)

Anyway in the one near us they have a Julian Graves section. Which I am hoping is also having the sale mentioned in the other posts.
