Chocolate tree decs

Has anyone found some good chocolate tree decs anywhere?

I’m still in mourning for the old Cadbury square ones and caramel bells. They only seem to be selling those rubbish hollow balls again this year.

Is anywhere doing decent ones this year? It’s not a Christmas tree without the chocolate baubles!

I NEED these in my life.

Mainly because I can then sneakily eat and refill them again and again, without disturbing the actual tree decorations in situ, and it's obviously really essential to buy multiple colours/flavours of Lindor!

But i also bought lindt teddies - they look cute.

TBH, I may just hook up some Ferrero Rocher. The gold always looks festive, and the filling means they're less likely to melt.

Last year I bought a box of Freddo or Freddo caramel chocolates and some gold ribbon and just cellotaped the ribbon onto the chocolates and hung them on the tree.
It's a tad expensive at £15 for a box of 60 though ! 😁

This is such a good idea!

Ooh! They’d look amazing.

We get good quality chocolate coins, usually marks and spencer. Cut pieces of cotton thread to around 20cm and sellotape an end to each side of the coin. They don't cost much and I think they look good on the tree

Tradition since I was a kid has always been to hang a bag of coins for each person somewhere on the tree to be fished out on Christmas Day - your idea would work as a nice twist on that for me.
