I need a REALLY FANCY box of chocolates - suggestions?

[BoobsOnTheMoon]

I would usually go to Mirrie Dancers but they're closed atm.

So after recommendations for a really exciting fancy box of chocolates (not bloody Belgian gianduja pralines, something really gorgeous and different) as a thank you for someone who has gone over and above for me recently...

Thank you

OMG I went to put a child to bed, fell asleep and came back to all these! Amazing thanks everyone, will read and salivate now 😋😋

If you want to send cake, Hettie's Kitchen brownies are the best!

Absolutely stunning chocolates

I used Chococo last year and they were fabulous! - look really snazzy and you get some really fab flavours.

Coco Chocolat

Another Paul A Young vote here. I used to work opposite one of his shops. I cannot tell you how amazing it smelt!

These 2 are really good Cocoa Black and Oban Chocolates

I love Leonidas. DH ‘s best friend and wife give me a box for Christmas every year...I only realised last year that they’re over €50!!

Another vote for Paul Young.

However, I'd say go off piste and send macarons instead, looks much more 'thought' than a box of chocs. Laduree are the obvious choice but a friend of a friend runs Mademoiselle Macaron and they do amazing macaron gift boxes by post.

Place marking, have got to check these out!

I've also saved this thread to see what other posh chocs I need to buy.

The only one I can't see that's not been mentioned that I like the look of is Melchior.

Nice to see a few mentions for Lauden. I keep meaning to get some of those - as well as interesting flavours, they have a really distinctive 'look'.

Choctails

Chococo is amazing. Really interesting flavours and all locally sourced in the Dorset area.

@BoobsOnTheMoon I'm just coming back here to say if you do go with Paul A Young, then maybe throw in a couple of his brownie bites because they are orgasmic!
I work near the Soho shop and I pick a few up every now and then for little gifts, or to take if we're going to stay with people. They are small but so rich and delicious.

I'm now online in the shop thinking of ordering something as a treat for me DH.

I had a Paul A Young port and stilton truffle five Christmasses ago that I still think about at least once a week, it was that good.

Pierre Marcolini. Chocolate Society. zChocolat

68 posts and not one mention of Pierre Marcolini?! Guys, you have some chocolate to eat. The malline decouverte is the thing.
Rococo also do very beautiful things but not nec the finest chocolate

Hahaha except of course the well timed jinx immediately above!

Aneesh Popat- the Water Ganache Truffles are lovely.

I had Pierre Marcolini for Christmas... and they really weren't all that. There are still some left in the box in the cupboard!

Urban cacao Amsterdam, actually took myself to Amsterdam for the weekend just to get these chocolates!

I like Amelia chocolate www.ameliechocolat.co.uk
