Interesting and not far away Charlotte Brunswick Chocolates | A perfect gift from Bath

My parents love these. You get little bars of different flavours. Usually retails about £12.00 but often on offer at less

 

[Boudicca]

Maybe you should buy the Aldi chocolate and then make your own truffles? It's very easy, chocolate, butter and some cocoa powder.

Then you get extra brownie points because they are homemade.

Otherwise I'd probably go for M&S Belgian.

That sounds like quite the splendid idea Boudicca my darling and I may do a trial run, for quality control and Science

Can't go wrong with a commedy Toblerone the size of a medium sized dog.

Otherwise a selection of chocs from Leonidas. If you can't get to a shop they do bespoke boxes. Hotel chocolate for middle class gifts and bars - the John Lewis of chocolate. Although I am partial to Lindt...

This place is an Achilles heal to me as they sell chocolate loose, its bloody lovely and very expensive. It is at Oxford Circus Läderach | Artisanal Swiss chocolate | chocolatier suisse

Not quite so bad, but still very expensive ( at Waterloo Station in the "sidings" ) is this place Neuhaus Chocolates | Inventor of the original Belgian praline
Spent £50 or ££60 in here last night, purely for personal use.

CFY. Well, you're bound to have something chocolate can help with

Lovely, but it's all individual chocolates, no bars and I really like a bar.

I bet Johan would make you a bar if you asked him

I'm quite partial to Tony's Chocolonely, my local asda stocks it and its not cheap but I managed to get a few bars from ebay, to give as gifts.

I only really know their milk chocolate (in the red wrapper), but it's really quite good stuff.

I've got a bar of their pecan caramel milk chocolate stashed away in a cupboard for Xmas, my mum bought it for me. Prices on it vary wildly, from £2.50 to £3.99 a bar depending upon where you shop.
It is fucking lush, I've had the hazelnut one previously because hazelnut chocolate is my favourite. OH likes the sea salted almond dark chocolate bar.
Too expensive to be a regular thing, but a very nice treat.

Artisan du Chocolat's couture collection are my go-to posh chocolates (the rest of their range is variable in quality, but the couture range is top notch.

We had a box from Fifth Dimension last year which were really impressive - I think it was the Journey Box from here: Luxury Fine Chocolate Boxes - Buy Online | Fifth Dimension Chocolates

Thanks for this tip KB. I used them for my sister's present this year and they responded well when I fucked up the delivery address. They do gift wrap too.

Which did you go for? I have ordered Fifth Dimension again, the things they do with caramel are incredible...

Went for these:

Great Expectations Couture Ecrin 12 | Artisan du Chocolat

Did you know that this range holds some of the very first chocolates we created and presented to Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal for their 3 Michelin starred restaurants down the road from our Chelsea boutique and chocolates . From crunchy praline to tangy layered exotic fruit jelly, chewy...

I think your sister will be very happy. You should order some for yourself too though, they are too good to be wasted on other people really

Could be 100% if you buy it.

Because Green and Blacks was taken over by Cadbury. The cadbury workers got thrown out on their ear, no consultation when they got taken over by a shit american company.
Sorry, but thats what happened.

I know and I'm sorry to piss on people's fire but the takeover of Cadbury was appalling.

Anyone tried Tony's? Always seems pricey when I've seen it in the shops. Curious as to whether it's worth it or not.
