1) To be precise: folded up carefully, left lying around and then put in the bin. People who put the wrappers back are scum, and people who do that and trick you into thinking that there is a Malteser left are the lowest form of scum and deserve to have chocolates bought for them by my mother-in-law for the rest of their life (see 3 and 4 below).

2) To be even more precise: The thin glaze with the thinnest possible shards of sugar on a ring doughnut that I used to get from Knowles Bakery in my hometown, a bakery that no longer exists, so I will never eat a doughnut as good as that ever again and that is why modern life is rubbish.

3 and 4) My mother-in-law will probably buy me a box of chocolates for Christmas, and I should be grateful for it, but they are always shit chocolates that I don't like, including so many fucking chocolates with so many fucking nuts in.

Your answer to 4 is a very good plan. I had some quality toffee and sea salt milk chocolate in Iceland.

I have become less horrified by nuts in chocoalte, specifically hazelnuts, but I still find them fundamentally unwelcome.

I am very sorry that your doughnut source has closed. Modern life is indeed rubbish.

Folowing a childhood practice, I smooth the wrapper out as much as possible before folding it up really small. Then bin. Little things ...

Festive treats: I truly prefer savoury ones like CHEESE FOOTBALLS.

My mum makes really really good cheese puffs that I am very excited about, particularly topping them with some smokd salmon.

I don't like doughnuts. PLEASE DON'T SHUN ME!

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

SHUNNED!

Sometimes at work people bring around boxes of doughnuts that are the Kripy Kreme style ones with a light glaze, which I wouldn't choose for myself but do very much appreciate.

I generally pocket the chocolate wrappers. I like all styles of doughnuts but the best ones I ever had were from a street stall in London in the early 90s and were piping hot and dusted with granulated sugar and cinnamon.

I am often without pockets these days. Roll on a return to daily jeans-waering.

MMMMM they sound delcious.

I feel the need to point out that, while I love doughnuts with thin glaze, the best kind are the ones with piped in fillings (jam, chocolate whip, etc.) and glaze. Am counting down the days until I can have a maple glazed doughnut. Or nine.

Also, I will think of you when I am stuffing my face full of sopapillas this Christmas.

Dougnut fillings is a whole different topic! Raspberry jam being the best, of course.

I think of you every time I have Mexican food and they're not on the menu!

When I was at boarding school, my winter Saturday afternoon treat was to stop at the doughnut-shaped doughnut stand and buy one hot fresh ring doughnut, rolled in granulated sugar. It came in a white paper bag which the doughnut-seller would flip over to twist the top, and cost me 20p. No doughnut has ever matched up to those.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

Oh, that would be a treat worth looking forward to!

TwistedDoodles has the best reason why you shouldn't put the wrappers back in the box.

Argh, that is scary to think of!

I am late to this but feel the need to say that I take the sweet wrapper and fold it in half lengthwise and then in half lengthwise again and then I roll it up from the bottom edge into a spiral and then I unroll it and roll it up again and then there are small curly bits of wrapper all around my house. See also post-it notes and receipts.

I am looking forward to the bit where no-one eats much of the Christmas pudding so I take it home and eat it for breakfast every morning for a week. With brandy butter on natch because it would be wrong to waste that as well.

[slemslempike.livejournal.com]

Oh, I do the spiral thing too, sometimes! But these wrappers aren't foil/paper, just light plastic, so difficult to do anything with. We had a Tunnock's foil origami competition earlier this year in the office. I still feel my elephant was robbed.
