It makes it really easy not to buy them. Quality Street is the same. I realise now I was only buying them for the spangly papers.

It's a sorry, business, Suzanne. I did just have a mince pie though, so not all is lost.

I know this means I may never be allowed back into the UK, but Quality Street lost its appeal when they replaced their pretty, spangly wrappers with the dull, slightly Soviet ones (I know,I know, for entirely reasonable planet-saving reasons). So it has to be Marrons glacés.
Sugar rush at Garlic&Pearls HQ: in our Christmas Corker face-off @suzanneraine.bsky.social and I compare and contrast the top seasonal treats of our nations. How sweet! Yes - it’s QUALITY STREET 🇬🇧 vs MARRONS GLACÉS 🇫🇷! A clash of titans… Which do you prefer? Any thoughts, @lickedspoon.bsky.social ?
