I'll start, I tried Audreys last year, made in the Hove and do or used to supply fortnum and mason.
I spent around 27 and chose my own. Extremely good and a real treat.

@Talipesmum
. Can I ask if you have ordered since brexit because I emailed them before you told me about that link and they got back saying they don't ship to us since brexit

I ordered from them in 2021 and it all looks perfectly straightforward on their website, they ship to UK and Channel Islands. I don’t know where you are though.

Yes they do. It’s fine. You can add your address and postcode to calculate delivery, to check.

Cadbury has palm oil now
Tastes foul

I'm after some nice chocolate too

Foul?! I know Wispa bars are not very nice but actual Dairy Milk is a different recipe, it's still beautiful

Was hoping for a violet and rose cream recommendation but sadly not. To Chernobyl with my credit card I go

Harry Spector's

Incredibly sad there will be no Paul.A. Young chocolates this year.

I went past a Leondis shop last month, I'm still sad I couldn't go in.

The best chocolate I have tasted lately is Gnaw. Made in Norwich, no palm oil, just gorgeous.

Another vote for Montezuma giant buttons!

Pr0fessionalLurker · 24/11/2023 20:15

Charbonnel et Walker contains palm oil. Pretty skanky given the price

RedCoatSearch · 24/11/2023 20:33

Have you tasted them yet OP? They definitely need a taste test, just to be sure!
