Where can i buy marrons glaces round this neck of the woods?

I have a desire to get some before Xmas. Does anyone know where there is stock available? Bournemouth would be ideal but I WILL TRAVEL.

Had to look it up, no idea what they were! There's a really good sweet shop on Lymington High Street called Truffles of Lymington. There's two actually can't remember the name of the other one. They have everything, got to be worth a try. They're a proper old school sweet shop.

Cool. I'll give them a bell tomorrow and ask what they have in stock.

I was going to say try calling the sweet shop in totton, they might have em or be able to suggest where

However a google search produced this, not sure if it's the same mind

Let me know if you get stuck Eddie, I could pop into London and try and pick some up for you on my rounds....maybe Fortnum + Mason if it's a posh sweet?

Si, when are you down this way again? Had issues with all the above suggestions today due to xmas demand. If you can do what youve offered as part of your xmas Ferndown run i'd be most appreciative.

Did you try the sweatshop in totton?

I'll try that one tomorrow. Sorry must have missed your suggestion. Did try waitrose though.

Not sure I'd feel comfortable buying from a sweatshop though.

No problem mate, I should be back this weekend, probs sat eveningish. If you can't get from the other suggestions - just let me know and I will swing by and see if they have any - failing that, a couple of my wholesaler's will prob have stock of this sort of thing....can ask.

Simon, if you can work your magic and furnish me with said candied chestnuts that'd be ace. You'd even get an xmas card and a kiss!

They had a 'special offer' on these, in Harrods today. 2 (large) packs for 50 quid. Unfortunately, I ate one pack during the day. And gave the other one away as a present . It was 30 quid for one (160g) pack, so I figured what the hell .
