Minstrels/Maestros/Treats

Post by Quinch »

I would like to know what the Minstrels replacements (Maestros/Treats) are like and how they look/taste in comparison to Minstrels, also how sales compare to the original ? It would be great to hear from anyone who has tried them in several machines.

I am looking for an alternative to Minstrels as I only have a few boxes left and would like know any chocolate alternatives anyone has tried that are good sellers. I already find Toblerone and Mini Eggs are good sellers and have tried Rolos but they didn't sell well. Does anyone find M&M's or Smarties sell well ? Any suggestions appreciated.

Hurleys Maestros are in several of my machines and no compliants yet!

I think they are very nice but there is a subtle difference in the taste.
I guess there is bound to be the odd compliant but I will just tell the site its these or nothing as bulk minstrels no longer avaliable and let site make choice.
I have found maoams to be better sellers anyhow!

I find m&m sell quite well in a couple of my sites, best to try them out and see really. I have been trying Chocolate orange segments
in my machines recently, and they have been going really really well. Unfortunately pound world has stopped getting them in so i have had to take them out for now. I'm going to start asking around to see if anyone could supply them for me as they went straight into the top three in my machines!
