Paul Young Chocolates- are they worth it?

[crochetmonkey74]

They've been on my wishlist for a while and have decided to bite the bullet and order online for Christmas as a treat- has anyone had them? would you say they were worth the money or are there better companies/ selections I could order online- I definitely want a box of mixed flavours not bars

Would also like to know this!

I got some as a gift a few years ago. They were just fine. I absolutely love filled chocolates but I have had better. Mainly, the mouthfeel of the chocolate itself was average and the fillings a bit bland. Sorry!

They were a bit of a letdown really, but then again I'm not sure what I was expecting. Something completely wondrous I guess some people raved about them on a chocolate thread here a whole ago.

The common people love them.

I love their brownies.

Many specialist chocolate makers have already shut their Christmas order book 😥
Found this out ( unfortunately the other day ) likewise our favourite cheesemonger.

I love them! Also recommend Lauden.

Just be careful every time you go away...

a mate got some for me
They were very nice, but not spectacular. maybe my palate is insufficiently refined .

I guess he needed to find a new career. Everything must change

I was one that raved about them on the previous thread. In fact any thread previously on here discussing chocolate that I've seen in the last 10 years I would have raved about them!

I used to work opposite their Royal Exchange shop and would go in there for the smell alone. So so good. I love their salted caramels. Delicious and fresh and feel like an absolute treat.

Not that I eat it often but I don't enjoy much other chocolate now, tastes waxy.

We've since moved from London but my DH treats me to a box for birthdays and special occasions and I look forward to them lots! It's my birthday in a few days so can't wait

Never eaten them but had a lovely friend who worked there and said they were absolutely vile to junior staff, so will never shop there.

Where ever he lays his chocolate, that’s his home..

Got some for my birthday. They were nice, but not sure worth the £££.

No. There are loads of better brands out there.

ooh really mixed- thanks everyone!

I really love chocolate- faves are tonys cholonely pretzel (and the Aldi version) - I am intruiged by Pump st chocolate too I like the older recipe of Lindt (that was always my fave)

for the PPs who said there are better companies- what are they? Am looking up Lauden now

Also- took me ages to connect the jokes to the other Paul Young! I'm an idiot
