I don't see what the fuss is about. The piece I had today did not taste nice. It tasted powdery.

Agree, when up in South Canterbury recently tried one in a coffee shop and thought the custard had an unusual taste. Found better elsewhere - and cheaper!

I don't like the Denheath either. Give me an old fashioned Custard Square with the firm custard in the centre not that light fluffy tasteless stuff.

At last, I thought I was the only one who hated Denheath's Custard Squares. And I love a good custard square (just like the ones from the bakery in Green Bay.yumm). I've searched for a good recipe but can't find one.

Someone on here once said the Denheathones had cream cheese in the recipe, not sure if true, but for the price they charge I thought they would be superb. Local bakery does a good CS.

The hate coriander club has its own Facebook page ;)

I have to agree too i was so excited to try one and what a dissapointment the texture was terrible and the taste was awful.The recipe that someone placed on the recipe thread made with cream cheese is just beautiful!

Tried my first one last week and I also was disappointed, in some ways I was pleased as I will not be tempted again. Nothing like a good old custard square!

I love them.they need to be fresh though and at room temp. to get the full flavour.Maybe they have changed the recipe since I last ate one!The ones from New World are quite good.

I love them. I also love roasted Almonds but loathe Almond Essense in baking - tastes nothing like Almonds.

I love almonds too but hate almond essence. Almond icing is the worst - yuk!

I do not like instant coffee. I think they are yuk. I do like the real stuff though but don't have it too often.

I had heard so much about it but live in auz so had to wait till I was home to try it. Did all the research to see where I would find it and then made special time to go down to the cafe and try it. I was so disappointed. I would rather have the good old fashioned ones or even the ones made with instant pudding and cream. That is nice also. Glad I am not the only one. The custard was not very sweet and it had this powdery taste to it. The icing was alright.
