Xmas chocolates

Can anyone recommend some really nice but not too expensive chocolates for me from dh for Xmas?
I like fruit & coffee creams but good ones, I used to love the lemon barrel in all gold, but chocs nowadays are all truffles 🤢
I like hotel chocolate but can't find any that really appeal, I like chocolates for chocoholics but their delivery charge is crazy (& again they're mainly truffles).
Help!

Have you tried these for fruit/ coffee creams? They are made in uk, no palm oil, and cheap

Interested in this thread?

If they're from your DH shouldn't he be choosing them?

Buy yourself some nice chocolates if you want some, but don't offload your DHs mental load onto Mumsnet. If he's not doing any thinking or choosing, they're not a present from him are they?

Not meaning to be snarky, but it just seems that a lot of people have forgotten what gift buying actually is.

Friars chocolates are lovely and you can get tasting packs or large boxes, choc is much nicer than HC too.

I agree he should choose I was just looking for new options I'd never heard of. I've told him some sites to look at and he knows what I like but sometimes I think you've to really point out what you want to get what you really want! Thanks all I will look at the suggestions. Appreciate the help Thanks

I agree Whittaker's coffee creams are gorgeous! Haven't spotted them this year yet though Sad

Audreys chocolates. A lovely lady on here pointed me in their direction as they supply fortnum and mason with their chocolates. Pricey but absolutely out of this world, especially the coffee creams!

Last year I won some chocolates from the shop below and they were delicious so I've ordered a bigger box for this Christmas. You can have one of their selections or choose your own. Obviously they're more expensive than mass produced but well worth it.
