I just got a present. it was deep, round and heavy. one quote there for sidla to think about. It was Roses. So i thought, wouldnt have minded quality street instead but as i aint an unthankful person, ill scoff them anyway but what do you prefer.

mingles are all mint i think, but with different variations, they come in green boxes.

Mingles are chocolates with “a hint of mint"
The BROWN is officially “dark chocolate with a fondant mint centre”.
The YELLOW is officially “solid milk and white layered chocolate with a hint of mint”.
The GREEN is officially “milk chocolate mint crisp”,
The RED is officially “marbled dark and white chocolate with light mint truffle centre"
The BLUE is officially “marbled milk and white chocolate with dark mint truffle centre”.

yes i copied and pasted

Prob is in celebrations you have to pick all the nasty ones out. We often get choc handed into our office and all the good ones tend to go 1st leaving me with the horrible hard caramel type ones which pull out your teeth!

The trick is to get there first - I always manage. In selection packs there will always be manky sweets - I just leave the nutty/ coconutty ones and most of the rest are ok. Oh and truffle I don't do.

I really like the nutty sweets. They are always the 1st to go in our office. The dogs which live there esp like the nutty ones and the secretaries give the dogs chocolate even tho I've told them a million times that its bad for them.

I can't eat nuts they make me heave, so eating nutty sweets would be a bit of a disaster for me.

i was very surprised at work with the roses tin, by the time i got to it there was only about 10 sweets left and the overwhelming majority was the strawberry cream.

They don't actually live there, they go home at night. The lawyers are allowed to take their dogs into the office and their assistants take them out at lunchtime. There are only two tho in the main office and 3 in the other offices and they are v friendly. Everyone really likes them.
