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?

I blundered around Harrods Chocolate Hall on Saturday and bought nothing. I just couldn't decide. The choice was overwhelming. It is so easy to get chocolate wrong. YANBU.

The Pecan and molasses is my very fave, divine!

Bettys Langues De Chat - delicious!

OMG - just seen these and going to order some macarons. Thanks!

Malton is a great food place to visit - I recall a fabulous ice cream parlour next to the macaron
shop (which I second!)

Sounds amazing!

The original Bendicts bittermints Very dark chocolate with a peppermint fondant filling.

I'm glad you said that as I've bought my chocolate loving SIL a box for Christmas. I'm a chocolate heathen and prefer a quality street😂

Leonidas. They are mine, and now my daughters special Christmas treat.

I adore Leonidas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Probably the one I give to people more than any other ....

So funny - I'm American and my family have just offered to send me a box but I told them not to bother due to the fees!

To die for though. Esp the California Brittle

Try the Cocoa Boutique. All handmade by a lovely lady. And lovely chocolate.

Cocoa Black in Peebles are delicious.

The Malton macaron man also has a stall
in the york Xmas market

Further to my earlier post, I umm "quality tested " a variety of pralines from Thr chocolate bar this weekend - all utterly delicious

Iain Burnett the Highland chocolatier. He's won loads of awards and recently one of his truffles was judged best in the world at the international chocolate awards. They look really nice in the box too - highly recommended

Are Hotel Chocolat not high end? They're nearly a pound a chocolate! I had them for the first time recently, and loved them, and I'm really not a big chocolate eater.

I think hotel chocolate aren’t as nice these days had some salted caramel ones that were unpleasant , another Scottish one Chocolates of Glenshiel

Iain Burnett sounds amazing. But I think Neuhaus will fit your particular requirements, OP.

DH was given some of these ‘Couture’ chocolates from Artisan du chocolat last Christmas, which were bloody gorgeous. We are too skint to buy such things at the moment so I’m hoping he gets given them again 🤞😆

What is your evidence for that?
I have checked the ingredients for Audreys dark violet creams and no palm oil- and they use the same dark chocolate for all of the others?

@ThirtyThrillionThreeTrees have you tried Butlers green tea, salted almond crocant, pink himalayan salted caramel and raspberry pannacotta? The latte, almond cafe and cafe mocha are also delicious. Forgot to say Dunnes have some special offers on them too😁.

I’m not usually a fan of liquorice but oh my goodness the salted caramel ones are probably the nicest chocolates I’ve ever had.
