What brightly wrapped foil chocolates is everyone buying to replace Quality St?

[QuimReaper]

I've been buying a single batch of QS per year since time immemorial, and to be brutally honest, I'm only in it for the aesthetics in a big sweet jar (that houses various pasta shapes the rest of the year)

What's the best replacement these days? I have high hopes for M&S 'Big Mix' but am wondering if any of our European friends have any compelling offerings...

I stopped buying Rose's, quality street and the heroes and celebrations tubs years back and stick with the m and s chocolate box. Its not for the aesthetics as they dont last long enough for that 😂

I stopped buying them when I realised I only liked certain flavours so now buy 2 or 3 bags of things I like and put them in any old plastic tub.

If I wanted to create a 'Christmas sweet selection aesthetic' I could use a nice bowl or jar and reuse year on year which has the advantage of no slightly useless plastic tub that you feel obliged to do something with.

I buy Lindt balls. Green, red and gold.

I'm buying foil wrapped chocolate balls from Lidl. They seem to understand the twinkly jewel aesthetic I am here for. Combining the coins and the little foil wrapped balls of chocolate is a good shout.

I was in a Lindt outlet shop on Monday and they had at least 10 different bright colours of Lindor which would look pretty. They had more flavours there than they even have on their website, but you can also get some of them in supermarkets. However, if you can get to a Lindt shop the pistachio Lindor are a really gorgeous chartreuse green which would look great with the orange Lindor.

Yessss!!! Love these

Adding coins in genius. Thank you!

This is what OP is asking though - she has a nice jar and what's to know what sweets look good

Green triangles remain in shiny foil.

I refilled my tin at JL so I don't care about the look. But I do have a kilo of M&Ms to go in a glass jar. Should I curate the colours?

I can recommend Marks' Big Mix (£6). We have 3 boxes decanted in to an old QS tin with some Lindt balls thrown in for good measure.

Last year we had one box M&S big mix, one box M&S version of Lindor truffles (pale blue, red, and gold wrappers) and one box of Whitakers fruit creams all jumbled together in a big glass bowl.
It looked beautiful, if I do say so myself, but tasted even better.
