Individually wrapped chocolates

I need 10 individually wrapped chocolates for crackers that I'm making. Does anyone have a good recommendation for where I can buy these? I need to cater for age 5 up to 70. We don't have a Thorntons near us but I remember when I was a kid you could buy little chocolates shaped like a robin sitting on a log and I had that in mind but not sure if such a thing even exists anymore.

The mini Lindt bears/bunnies? www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/294093427

Yes, that's exactly what I'm putting in my fill your own crackers, you can get mini snowmen too. I was also thinking of adding a scratch card (we are all over 18!) but I wonder if that would be tacky by Mumsnet standards ? Grin.

Or Lindt truffles?

I used to buy the Thornton’s ones, they did the robins you mentioned and Christmas pudding chocolates too, haven’t seen them
for years unfortunately.
Have a look at foil wrapped ones that are used for tree decorations or as mentioned above, Lindt do Santa and reindeer chocolate

I didn't think of the Lindt minis - perfect thank you!

I'm also doing scratch cards for the adults, with jumping bean toys for the kids as an alternate. I thought scratch cards were a good idea as they're easy and if someone does win even better.

A tip for scratch cards - buy early as the Xmas themed ones do sell out sometimes.

Liqueur chocs are fun for the adults, and Lindt for the kids.

Thanks for the tip Shauna.

If anyone is looking for fill your own crackers I got some at Dunelm - attractive red and green 'Woodland' design and £4 for 6 which I though was very reasonable.

Thanks for the tip re the scratch cards @ShaunaTheSheep. I'll get those this week to make sure I have them.
