    The organic mushroom cup-a-soup is not very pleasant, doesn't dissolve properly and leaves a load of sludge at the bottom of the cup.

    Yes, I just ordered a box. I made some meringues the other day with dark chocolate and chopped pecan nuts in them so thought I might try using this white chocolate instead. I'll let you know if it works out!

    Yes, I didn't find any of their cup-a-soups to dissolve very well either. I resorted to using several packets at once and cooking them on the hob in a large pan, like you would with a normal packet soup. They come out much better this way.

    Hmmm, you show me a load of sweeties and in the same breath utter the phrase 'still healthy to eat'! Was that stuff ever healthy even when in date lol!
    I eat sweeties too so not a dig, it just made me laugh lol!

    Would have to agree, they are pretty disgusting. Worse I didn't even order them! I ordered the wild mushroom soup packs which sounded nice but they substituted with these. I've been rather disappointed with the way they substitute with things you would not have ordered (can't stand powdered soup) rather than refund if they haven't got something.

    Hi

    Put in my first order yesterday. It's all chocolate :)

    Has anyone tried the cherry pralines, 1.6kg for £5? I do hope they're nice, got 3kg on the way :rotfl: Do they come in a bag or box? Thinking of repackaging as gifts over next month or so. Don't think even I could manage the lot anytime soon. Especially as I also have lots of hazelnut ritters and other choc due in the same parcel.
