Chocolate heaven ... what would yours be? Trying to choose one high quality box for Christmas....

[loveyouradvice]

Just that really... I would like to buy one really good box of chocolates to share with my husband and daughter (and the occasional honoured guest) over Christmas... pralines are our favourites, so probably just those.

Chocolates for relishing, for truly appreciating each one... I currently have my eye on Neuhaus "Les Trésors de Neuhaus" Pralines - 30 Pieces £45.00

But havent had Neuhaus before - are they really good??

And there will be other chocolates around for just sharing with the crowds - the usual Lindt, Hotel Chocolat, After 8s, Toblerone and anything else nostalgic.

What is your chocolate heaven? What are you going to indulge in?? Which are your favourite pralines?

My absolute favourite come from ArtChocolat. It’s £39.99 for 24 pieces and you can either have their selection or create your own. Loads of different flavours and they’re really pretty and colourful.

Leonidas were my biggest chocolate splurge

I really need some nice chocolate now all I have in the house is a quality street advent calendar 😢

I don’t know to insert links but there is a shop in Malton making handmade chocolates and macarons all delicious especially the macarons it’s florianpoirot.com

I love these. I haven't been able to get hold of them for a while though. Where do you get them from?

Kennedy's chocolates near Tebay, sell online too! Not as expensive as some but the range is excellent

I alternate between John Lewis, Selfridges and Fenwicks depending on which is cheapest.

Yes, these are my choice.

Ian Burnett Chocolates are amazing
Also the chocolate society - everything I've tried from ther ehas been delicious

Pierre Marcolini
Mary’s
Neuhaus or Daskalides.

It would be Neuhaus for me. Currently enjoying a box called Les Tresors de Neuhaus. https://www.neuhauschocolates.com/en_GB/shop/les-tresors-de-neuhaus/5024338.html

DH always brings me a box by way of thanks for doing parenting double duty when he’s spent the week having a high old time working in Paris/Brussels.

I love venchi chocolates (got advent calender chocolates from there)

haven’t tried Neuhaus but will give it a go as love praline based chocolates - looks like it’s free delivery over £50.

leonidas on my list to try also

Do you know we had Alain Ducasse easter eggs lovingly bought for me by my bro and they were hugely disappointing... quite put me off

Artisan du Chocolat have graced many of our `Christmases - agree!!

Paatchi without a doubt

I came on here to say Leonidas too!

Yummmm love them , they are heavenly!

Mmmmm ... chocolates are beginning to pile up... Neuhaus ready to be opened next week... hotel chocolat expresso martini truffles accidentally opened on Sunday (darn good they were)... stuffed prunes... and some tantalising hazlenut/chestnut ones that Annalisa Barbiera recommended...a couple of toblerone... mini lindor and teddies for the tree... lindt reindeer in the hall window...

Yum!!!

How is your chocolate stash looking? xx

Ian Burnett. Buy the tasting experience, set an evening aside and enjoy it to the full. Delicious.

Läderach are great.

Another flag-waver for Iain Burnett. I send a box to family in the UK every year (I’m in Europe so it saves any customs hassle). One year I had a brain fart and managed to put my address on the order form instead of the family member’s. Once I’d stopped banging my head against the wall and my DH had stopped royally taking the piss, we fell to and my god, they were bloody gorgeous, never tasted the like before or since. (I had wondered why the postage was so expensive 😆…)

Pierre Marcolini, delicious.

Imo See's Candies are The Best and nothing compares.

Compared to you Mums netters I'm easily pleased with M&S Collection Sparkling Caramels. 3 different caramel centres - soft. And they look gorgeous. And....at only £7 per box maybe, just maybe one of my kids will get me a box......but.... I don't share.

Totally biased but I think we have some really good chocolate in Ireland, most of which can be got in England too.
