Catch your attention?
Obtained these today.
White packet with Red rolo sign and "Irish cram" after it.
Essentially white chocolate with an "Irish cream" toffee filling.
I am assured by those who should know that they taste fairly realistic.
Don't love the choc, or the filling, so 3/10.
Also bought White choc Smarties. NEW?
They were certainly in the "new" bin in the shop.

I had heard rumours of these being out a while ago, so perhaps they are
a re-release. I do like white chocolate, but Irish Cream? Yuk I hate
chocolates filled with alcohol (dont know why, just do). Why spoil what
could have been a delicious product in this way? (Ie normal Rolo with
white chocolate).

It says that Nestle have a White Christmas campaign, including Rolo
irish cream, white smarties, white kit kat and milkybar snowfall - ooh
another new product :)

The white chocolate Smarties have 3 colours. Red, white and green.
The Rolos are quite like Baileys.

I had a chance to buy the white rolr irish-creams today, but I declined.
I love the idea of Irish cream chocolate (Baileys fan), but I'm not sure if a combination with the white chocolate would make it just too sickly.

I found them at my local shop and as I haven't seen them elsewhere I bought my mother a pack too, but I won't be seeing her until next week and I'm not sure they'll survive...

Right, I'll throw caution to the wind and give them a taste!

Okay...tried them today;
they're quite nice. I think I'd love them if they were milk rather than white chocolate. I'm a bit fussy when it comes to white chocolate!
On the whole, pretty good though....

While I am complaining about shop staff can I add Greggs to my list. Why is it I go to buy pies and sausage rolls and the assistant says "be careful, they are hot"then looks at me stupidly when I ask for a carrier bag? Is it all to do with profit share and their xmas bonus?
They obviously feel you are not doing your bit to help the environment. Take your own plastic carrier bag with you.

Nestle have got the white chocolate sussed. Its the best.
Agreed. The white smarties are GORGEOUS. Milkybar Munchies are also very delicious. Cadbury Dream somehow just doesn't cut it.

I have only seen them in my local shop. I think little shops must get commissions to put new chocolate by the counter and attract all the impulse buyers.
My local Spar has its very own Nestle product bin towards the back of the store That said it also has a Cadbury one which is closer to the front of the store.

I've looked everywhere for these rolos and cannot find them so I bought a bottle of Baileys instead and a flake.
Sounds lovely Lou!
Post by: loulou on November 27, 2004, 05:45:48 pm
Finally found irish cream rolos and guess what? I don't like them.
