“I received a box off Dairy Box for Mothers Day as my...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 05/04/2011

I received a box off Dairy Box for Mothers Day as my daughter knows they used to be my favourite box of chocolates. How disappointed I was as they are nothing like they used to be and I don't like them at all. In fact I would rather throw them away than eat them and I can't believe I'm saying that about chocolates! Please Nestle bring back the old Dairy Box.

written by on 28/02/2011

Every year a friend buys me Dairy Box chocolates for Christmas as these have always been my favourites, but sadly no more. It is alleged by me that over 50% seemed to contain nuts and the other centres were truffle based. All my past favourite centres had been replaced. What a lack of imagination Nestle!

I won't be buying or requesting these chocolates again.

Had three boxes of these chocolates at Christmas. Was very disappointed as my favourite centres are missing. Like nutty chocolate but also like variety. Will give these a miss in future.

Platic,pappy, horrible mouthfulls. I wish i had never eaten one let alone four! Four was more than enough. Dairy box were once the best choice and flavour chocolates around, now i wouldn't give them to a tramp.

written by fedmundson on 23/04/2010

What on earth have Nestle done to Dairy Box, what used be a fine box of chocolates. I'm just repeating what everyone else is saying, they all taste the same and the taste is pretty average, 'bland'. Shan't buy anymore until original mix is restored, never liked the strawberry creme but at least it tasted of something. Get it sorted Nestle, people will vote with their feet.

Have just received Dairy Box as a present. Although pretty to look at, I am so disappointed that the centres have been changed, they are boring, bland and totally unacceptable, please bring back the original centres. I certainly won't be buying any until this happens.

written by on 23/01/2010

These used to be my favourite chocolates. One of my aunts worked for Rowntrees so she always brought these home for the family. I am shocked at what Nestle have done to them. Unfortunately my son gave me a box for Christmas, but I am now going to tell my husband and children not to buy them for me again. They are all the same as has already been said and have no variety. They used to have a superb mixture, with something for everyone and the chocolate used to taste distinctive. I think maybe there was more cocoa in the chocolate. Now it's bland,waxy and leaves a horrible after taste. Terry's Old Gold has suffered the same fate...how long before Dairy Milk goes the same way or has it already? Ugh, ugh and ugh again!

“Last night I bought a box of Nestle Dairy Box. A...”

written by ffam on 25/04/2009

Last night I bought a box of Nestle Dairy Box. A special treat, something different from the usual box of roses, celebrations etc. They were also considerably more expensive but they certainly looked good quality and worth the extra money.

However to my astonishment each chocolate tasted virtually exactly the same. The only difference really was in the shape of the chocolates. The centers are made of the same gooey stuff which is simply colored differently for each chocolate type. The description on the box says that it contains truffles, pralines, caramels, cremes and nut selections. However it does not (unless a truffle is the same as caramel?) The 'nuts' they refer to are teeny tiny almost undetectable fragments of a crushed nut. I would estimate that a quarter of a nut went into the box that I ate.

I was very annoyed actually because Id spent a fair bit of money on the chocolates and ended up feeling like Nestle had conned me. I was so annoyed in fact that I sat down and spent time writing this review.

I won't be buying Nestle Dairy Box again and don't think anyone else will once they try them.

“Presentation in the box is about the only good thing!!...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 22/02/2009

Presentation in the box is about the only good thing!! Chocolates are all pretty much the same , contain truffle type mixtures. Used to be really good chocolates with proper variety of flavours. About time they brought back the original chocs from about 10 to 20 years ago. What happened to those great caramels coffee and orange creams etc that we used to expect in the Nestle Dairy Box? In my opinion, now it's just a load of rubbish in a nice box!!

I loved the Old Nestle Dairy Box - please bring it back. The new one is pretencious, tastless and all the same of the same. Good point is the individual chocolates look more modern but one layer of taste all the same chocolates - no individuality.

written by bentleycat on 02/01/2009

My brother in law insists on buying me this box of chocolates every Xmas and birthday because about 10 years ago I said they were my favourites. Since they've been changed they are simply awful. They all taste the same, all the centres are the same flavourless "mush" and the chocolate is tasteless. I did complain after last Xmas but just got the standard letter saying they needed to update their flavours and the public now wanted a more continental style of chocolate. But people who want continental chocolates BUY continental chocolates - we just want our Dairy Box back!!

Dairy Box have always been my favourite chocolates but what on earth was Nestle thinking of when replacing a perfectly good product with a load of rubbish. I WILL NEVER BUY THEM AGAIN.

Bring back the originals. Each chocolate had a "waxy" taste, uugh, horrid

Where do I start ?. Like many reviewers below I was looking forward to trying my Dairy Box as I hadn't eaten them for years and I had fond memories of them from the 1970's as a classic box of chocolates.

Was I disappointed ? YES

The selection has changed and there was not one I enjoyed. I ate 3 and through the rest in the bin. They also had an awful after taste of hydrogenated fat in them - which you don't get from the more high quality chocolates like Thornton's.

Will never be buying them again - I thought they were disgusting.

written by allabarra on 02/10/2008

Since 2007 the manufacturers seemingly decided to take a superb selection of chocolates and replace it with a bland mixture of soggy, sickly goo. There are many poor reviews on the new selection and many people have complained to Nestle, but they do not seem interested in the consumers or their opinions. A year later and they are still producing the same insipid selection. My feeling is that Dairy Box is probably purchased by unknowing people, as small gifts. My neighbour has just bought a box for me. I opened them in hope that Nestle had taken notice of the reviews posted a year ago and reverted to their original quality... But No! Still the same dreadful sickly goo. I suppose the days when the consumer mattered have long gone. I feel they certainly have where Nestle is concerned.

I too was totally disappointed when I received my Dairy Box for Mother's Day from my daughter. I have been eating these chocolates for years and they have always been a family favourite. They are so bland and terrible, I will NEVER buy these again. I wrote to Nestle to comment on how disgusted I was and begged them to bring back the originals. They did reply to advise that the chocolates had not changed in a long time and had to be updated, hu! Why meddle with something that is so good. Sorry nestle, you have lost one of your best customers!

Nestle Dairy Box used to be my favourites along with milk tray. I will not be eating them again, no good old fashioned centres, raspberry, coffee, toffee, nuts, orange cream, the new ones are BORING. Having bought a box a week for 10 years I'll at least save myself some money.
