    ..is that those big giant boxes of Snowballs are back! Yeay!
    Roll on the creamy little balls of chocolate coated unhealthiness, and then roll out the hoover to clean up all the coconut you got everywhere.

    Whats the ultimate Christmas snack? I go with Snowballs.

    Cadbury's Roses definitely. Those things are class.

    Choc Mallows.... the old type anyway.
    The past few years, they've changes the mixture and they're pants!!
    The Milka Mallows are the nearest to the old mixture and are scrummy!

    The big tins of Roses used to be lovely, before they got rid of coffee cremes and lots of the lovely ones.

    A big box of assorted Thorntons toffees is a new winner over the past few years for me :)

    I got a box of those Snowballs the other day and I was not impressed. The filling was more like chewy marshmallow than the light fluffy 'stuff' it should be :mad:

    Oh yeah I love those snowballs at christmas. I think there might be two brands. I seem to just instinctively pick the right one.

    The fact that my dad's a GP and all his patients give him either alcohol or chocolate. Mmmm... Or the giant hamper a loaded friend of the family sends every year. It's crammed full of good stuff!

    yep agree here. We also get a tin of biscuits, only time of the year we would buy one. That tin with the chocolate biscuit with the jam star on it whatever that was called?

    Which ones do you get? I only seen one type, not sure of the brand, could be Caffrey's, they came in either a cardboard box or you could pay more for a 'stay fresh' plastic box, which I did :rolleyes:

    Hot mince pies or Christmas pudding with loads of cream....

    Or else a big tin of celebrations, used to love Roses but like everything else that was once nice they're not so great any more, especially since they took the coffee one out!!

    I never have the stomach for sweets at Xmas for some reason, maybe cause there's so much of it around, it's always when its all gone and there's not piece of chocolate in sight that I start craving the stuff :rolleyes:typical..
