There could be a rare find hiding in your Quality Street this Christmas after a shortage of foil meant two of the assortment's most famous sweets were temporarily wrapped in different colours. A limited run of Quality Street products including tubs, pouches and cartons will include the famous hazelnut noisette (green) triangle wrapped in an unfamiliar gold colour while Quality Street fans might find the octagonal orange crunch decked in a dark bronze foil.
The chocolates themselves remain entirely unchanged and identical in every way to those normally wrapped in orange and green. The rare packs were produced at Nestlé's Halifax factory, the home of Quality Street, when it became clear that stocks of green and orange foil would not cover a planned production run that took place last week.
Quality Street sweets can occasionally be substituted for one another when a particular sweet can't be manufactured for some reason. However, on this occasion, it was felt the change of coloured foil was a better solution to make sure as many people as possible get the full Quality Street selection this Christmas.
