Best Ever Boxed Chocolates?

28 replies

1WildTeaParty · 04/12/2020 01:26

I'd like to buy a special box of chocolates -as part of a present.

Which would be the best 'make' to buy? I've stayed away from sweet things myself in recent years, and now feel a bit lost in making a good choice.

Hotel Chocolate used to be good and seems to be everywhere. Chococo has been well-liked in the past. Do you have a special favourite?

I like Paul A. Young, Charbonnel & Walker, Monty Bojangles and Rococco

billybagpuss · 04/12/2020 03:54

Charbonel and Walker every time

billybagpuss · 04/12/2020 03:54

Charbonel also do a gorgeous hot chocolate

Fortnum and Mason's are expensive but worth it.

katy1213 · 04/12/2020 04:24

Paul A Young and Charbonnel et Walker.
Hotel Chocolat is hugely over-rated and sickly sweet.

PirateCatQueen · 04/12/2020 04:28

I hate the word sickly.

Salted Caramel Truffles from Fortnum & Mason. I don't even like caramel that much but wow!

I rate Chocolate Society, Lauden and a lovely little patisserie, Robineau

With the Robineau link, there is a category selector tab at the top of the page.

I really rate Kennedys chocolates

Ferrylass · 04/12/2020 05:47

Google yumbles, I've bought my husband chocolates from there quite a few times and they're always amazing!!

ImAncient · 04/12/2020 05:55

La Maison du Chocolat. Used to be able to get them in Selfridges. Think you can get online & probably Harrods. Fortnums also very good.

RubaiyatOfAnyone · 04/12/2020 05:59

Kennedys - what chocolates should be

julietmanchester · 05/12/2020 02:15

For vegan chocolates Booja Booja are gorgeous. Otherwise my favourites are Leonidas, Rococo or Venchi have lovely packaging or any box of good quality gianduja or gianduiotto would win the day for me, absolute heaven and often gluten free if anyone is shopping for a coeliac sufferer and looking for something indulgent.

Or try to a chocolatier locally, you’d be surprised by how common they are - so much nicer than the big chocolate houses.
