Having purchased from this company previously, I knew what to expect when the chocolates arrived. They were exaxctly as shown in the pictures. The quality was excellent and they were delicious to eat.

The violet cream chocolates Friars produce now are not of the same quality and standard as they were before. As Friars state, 'we have had to adapt the chocolates recently as we could no longer source the original fondant that was used'. This means that the chocolates are now double dipped and the chocolate now has a stronger taste and it affects the balance between the fondant and chocolate, giving too much emphasis on the bitter chocolate. The consistency of the fondant is not soft and creamy as it previously was, but is more solid as if it had set. Friars again state, 'that with regard to the texture of the fondant, it is firmer the fresher it is and will soften over time. It could be the batch that you have purchased was only recently made, hence it being a bit firmer'. I beg to differ, 2 weeks after they were delivered the consistency has not changed one iota - it appears they are not fully conversant with this product These Violet creams are not enjoyable due to their consistency and taste and if you are expecting the new recipe violet creams to be the same as they were - you are going to be greatly disappointed especially when they are more than £1 each!

Hi Gavin, Thank you for your feedback regarding the Violet Cream Chocolates. We genuinely appreciate your comments and are sorry to learn that the recent changes have not met your expectations. We strive to maintain a high standard for our chocolates, and it's disappointing to hear that the texture and taste did not align with your previous experiences. The modifications made were necessary due to sourcing challenges, and we understand how that can affect the enjoyment of our product. Your feedback is valuable, and we will certainly take it into consideration as we continue to refine our offerings. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! Kind regards, Friars Customer Service

The chocolates were for my sister's birthday and we both adore your rose and violet creams so my sister was delighted to get the box as her gift from me. Thanks for the safe posting of the chocoltes and prompt delivery.
