Roses Milk Chocolate Tub 475g

Growing up we never really kept candy at home but before Christmas my mum would spend weeks stocking up on various food items which became a staple of our Christmas: Christmas pudding, ingredients for the Christmas cake, Yule log, After Eights, Just Brazils, BabyCham and of course a big tin of Chocolates which would either be Quality Street or Roses. When I moved here, I missed my British staples but as my mum always visited right before the holidays, we were usually treated to them but this year a summer trip meant I was on my own in trying to create a bit of British in America!! Thankfully Amazon as usual is the place for everything you need - and British Chocolate was no exception! The price is hard to beat - this is the large size tin and the price is far more favorable than World Market (which rarely if ever carries this size anyway and has currently given up on Cadburys!) BUT the real test is the taste!! Now as a wanna be chocoholic with limited access to candy as a child I became a master of slicing through the tape, removing some candy, and taping the tin back up to make it look unopened -thus getting first dibs on the best flavors and sad but true my habit has remained to this day so shortly after the box arrived, the taste test took place. I admit I was a bit skeptical about buying from Amazon - would they be old? Melted in transit? Taste Stale? But no - these taste just as good as the ones my mum buys in Tesco (Brit grocery chain)! Good old caramel logs, the hazelnut centers, the chunky dairy milk...yum!! So ex pats and chocolate lovers alike with both enjoy this British treat, fresh and delicious at a great price from good old Amazon!!

Arrived on time. The chocolate was fresh and tasty as expected.

🇬🇧 YUM YUM good choices

Was very disappointed as this beautiful container was only half full. The flap was the only thing holding the lid in place. Which was not even fastened very tight. Not a hood value for money.

A Christmas must. Family tradition. Order from England every year. This year Quality Street won on flavor and not so much Roses.

Though they get smaller each year, Cadbury's Roses are a Christmas tradition in our home since the first time I went to the UK in 1987. They were delivered on-time, undamaged and fresh!

Buy these every Christmas and they have to be shipped from the UK to the US. However, this time I was able to get them within just a few days and they were cheaper than I had paid at Christmas time. Must be available in the US now? I bought them for some friends of mine, a family, here in North Carolina. They sent me a video of them opening the box containing the 2 tubs of the Roses chocolates. They were so pleased and all the kids had big smiles. I haven't seen them in the grocery, or Box stores and I can't understand why? These are better than any chocolates available in the US and I've tried them all. I guess like so many other quality British products that aren't available here in the US, the retailers are keeping the competition out of the domestic market. Oh well. I live in hope that they will be available one day here at the local grocery store. Thank you!

Best chocolates!
