Best quality boxed chocolates to bring from the UK for Christmas

I live abroad and usually shell out for a tin of Roses , Quality Street or Heros for Christmas, but they haven't actually tasted good in a while !
Any recommendations for good quality chocolate tins? My DSis is visiting next week and offered to bring some food items over. TIA

The only one or two I’ll be buying this year is the Big mix from M & S, much better than the others

Lindt Lindor truffles come in a tin, my Christmas treat now after being a staunch QS fan all my life, I still buy them because somehow Christmas wouldn't be right without them, but they're a poor imitation of the ones that came in sparkly packages.

Isn’t it such a shame that Quality Street & Roses no longer taste the same? I feel they’re staples of a British Christmas!

Mondelez and Nestle have a lot to answer for. None of the good old chocolate tastes the same as they use palm oil these days.

I think M&S isn't too bad. You don't get the nasty after taste.

Thanks, I'll give them a try. I forgot to add in my post that the ones I recommended are about three times the price of QS.

I like leonidas.. can often buy at discount from chocolate express or leonidas direct... expensive but worth it

Booja booja are delicious, British, but pricey
