    Why did they have to go and change them in the first place? :(

    Glad coffe is back, was shocking that they removed it!

    Bitterly disappointed, someone had a round tin of roses purchased only yesterday, and while there were loads of orange ones (yummo), zero coffee!

    Will these be special edition I wonder?

    I don't remember a coffee Roses sweet? Perhaps I'm a bit young?

    Very much looking forward to its reintroduction in any case. :)

    Oh no. The coffee ones were always the last ones left in the tin in our house. Only eaten when all the Christmas goodies had disappeared in January. Never by me though couldn't stand them. Now the caramels, they were always first to go:)

    Was it the Christmas tin? It says on the tin that their are new sweats in it. They are for sale in Tesco's!

    I would eat the odd coffee sweet but I wouldn't love them. My mother isn't looking forward to getting them because she feels the coffee will taint the other sweets in the tin.

    Their new coffee sweet is unremarkable really, but more annoyingly they have changed the texture of their Brazilian dark toffee one and now it's more like fudge.

    Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

    I loved the coffee ones and never understood those heathens among you who thought it was vile.

    How I mourned for the post-festive season Roses tins around the country that remained filled with the neglected coffee sweets that were destined never to come my way. The poor, unloved, tasty little things.

    I hope the other possible new one is one of the lovely previous ones that they also did away with. Or at least a truffle or praline rather than another crappy creme-filled one. Roses really turned their selection to sh!t several years ago :(

    All the shops were tripping over themselves, selling tins at a fiver etc last year, however did this contribute to a drop in variety ? Methinks it did.

    Variety (and prices) dropped a lot longer than a year ago, to the great detriment of the quality of what was once a long-loved favourite :(

    Is it the exact same Coffee Creme that they used to have, or an alternative coffee sweet?

    I just want them to return the Dairy Milk one to its non-chunky former glory.

    It's bigger, not the old shape.

    They don't actually have a good old fashioned toffee in the box anymore. It's all full of these soft horrible ones.

    Coffee was gone for a good few years and I say all the supermarkets will be selling them for about five euro again, just last week they were 6.60 at Tesco!

    I hope they use some of the Australian sweets. A friend brought back a box of Roses from there and most of them were gorgeous! Much nicer than our ones!

    That's true my spurious friend. They have those ones in gold wrappers that look like somebody sat on them, too soft as well.

    Toffee should be hard !!!!!!

    Are they not in Quality Street? The Toffee Penny?

    I too missed the coffee one...glad it's back. I even love the coffee one in Revels. Dairy Box aren't great, nearly all nut ones.

    Perhaps Celebrations or Heroes but really I just don't know anymore.

    Celebrations upset me when they did away with Galaxy Truffle and also when they changed the shape of their sweets from perfectly oval to a weird flat-bottomed form.

    Heroes upset me when they did away with Crunchie Nugget (also Fuse at the time, but I got over that one).

    Quality Street has always been sh!te.
