Quick fire question: chocolate

[Poppyblush]

I need to buy some chocolates as a gift. Would you get:

1. a variety of nice stuff from supermarket like Lindt, Lily O Briens, Guylian


2. selection from Hotel Chocolate


3. selection from Thornton’s

I don’t eat chocolate hence asking. Spending about £25. Needs to be just chocolate.

Hotel chocolat

Waitrose sometimes have boxes of Butlers chocolates, which are much better than those options.

Hotel Chocolat is just Thornton’s with middle class marketing anyway.

It's not.

Hotel chocolat, 100%

Hotel Chocolat is just Thornton’s with middle class marketing anyway.

HC is always a bit disappointing, but it’s not THAT bad!

Out of those 3 I'd go for hotel Chocolat, but maybe try Chocococo if you fancy something really good.

Depends on your budget and the occasion, really 🤷🏻‍♀️

Of course it is! Cheap, horrible chocolate in well-designed packaging so they can jack the price up.

Hotel Chocolat. Some really lovely chocolates there. My mouth is watering as I type this 😂 They’ve got good selection boxes too - Summer desserts, alcoholic, pralines, dark.

Hotel chocolate is ok, Thorntons tastes of arse. I would choose Charbonnel et Walker. Mmmmmmm.

Butler's Chocolates are the best in my opinion.

Monty Bojangles from supermarkets

They are fabulous, by far the best option if you need to pick up a box at short notice from a supermarket - even better ordering directly with more choice, until bloody Brexit made the delivery charge ridiculous. 🤬

Weird that no one yet has gone for Lindt. That would definitely be my choice. A big box of their mixed truffle flavours. I am always massively unwhelmed by Hotel Chocolat and Thornton's aren't great either. Lindt chocolate tastes so good and the truffles melt in your mouth.

HC please.

As a gift I would buy hotel chocolate. If it was for myself I would choose the sea shells or loads of Lindt.

Thorntons. HC is over hyped and has done a good marketing job on people who think it's posh.

TBH I'd rather have a box of Milk Tray.

DS sent me a supply of Montezumas for Mothers Day - highly recommended.

To be fair, I would eat cardboard if it was coated in chocolate.......

I would probably choose BoojaBooja too unless I knew the recipient well enough to know there are no dietary restrictions. If possible I would get Charbonel&Walker champagne truffles which are totally lush but some people wouldn't be able to eat them so boojabooja safer.

Hotel Chocolat

It's not Thorntons though, like you said!

Thorntons is now dreadful. I’d buy Lindt

Green & Black selection box

Hotel Chocolate if I was organised. Nearest shop is 45 mins away or online

Other wise supermarket selection. Or nice chocolates from an independent place near by again

Anything but thorntons

I’d buy Hotel Chocolat as a gift, and appreciate receiving it, but secretly prefer Thorntons. Can’t stand Lindt or Ferrero Rocher.

I don’t like Hotel Chocolat, Thornton classic selection is ok as I like the classics like fudge, strawberry cream, caramel etc and know what I’m getting. Lindt truffles also good and clearly popular. How about M&S, they have a bit of a selection of chocs.
