Thorntons Continental Christmas Chocolate Box, 24 Chocolates, 264g​

Good quality product

Taste great and good value at time of purchase which moves around a lot.

Quality product that was delivered with care. Thank you.

Continentals were always our favourite chocolates years ago but these new selections are no where near as nice as I remembered.

I brought these has a present for my grandma and she loved them and said they were delicious.

A really good item. Very good value, was perfect.

Grab a seat and a cuppa, this is a long story... This was a very rare treat for us and we were looking forward to getting them for months, since my birthday last year. Thornton's Continentals were a traditional family love token for both of our families, we all knew our own and each other's favourites, Dad knew which one's were made with fresh cream, I knew which ones had the thickest chocolate and we all fought over Diplomat. (Dad always won) My beloved and I have terminal conditions, we allowed ourselves dairy and sugar as this Christmas and last Christmas were spent entirely fighting for his life. This was- according to Senior Consultants- our final Christmas together. Someone had generously said they had ordered hampers of our specialist diet foods, so not to fret about stocking up. Late in the evening on the 23rd, too late to get an order in, she called us to say it was cancelled. This person left him devastated, his condition deteriorated, the floor disappeared from underneath him, he had trusted her, believing his cancer had finally moved her heart towards him and left us with no food at all, gravely threatening my condition, he was devastated, especially because it was his Mum who did it. So we caved and bought our mutual favourites as a very rare treat on the scarce finances we have. Maybe because of all this we had a deeper disappointment, I think it is only fair to give the background. So the 'Knights in Shining Foil Armoir' arrived and we were thrilled, excited as two year olds, Xmas had finally come. Then... The first shock was how much more they cost, for so much less, now. Then the synchronised heart and jaw drop upon opening the box to see more plastic than chocolates. And only one recognisable, the Lemon, no longer Sicillian, his Nonna was from Sicily, looked familiar, but my favourites, Viennese Truffle, The Diplomat, Mandarin Crisp in it's beautiful foil wrap, Marc de Champagne, Vanilla Truffle, Rum Truffle, Alpini, were no longer there. There was a log like one with the same name, but the deep crisp ripples, with 'ET' icing sugar chopped nuts and a lot of the original's size had gone. The taste was sugar, with the odd breakthrough of flavour, we had to stop. Amazon staff were wonderful, thank you Diony, we were able to order a 'cheapo' Happy Belly Box of their own continental chocolates. My goodness, they are gorgeous, they are far superior, absolutely delicious much less expensive and have taken the Crown of our new Treats.👑 It's a good reason to do our best to stick around for next Christmas, our rollover New Year's resolution from last year, which we did! 😉

Good quality

The best chocolates from my home town. I do wish I could still buy pound bags of misshapes from the factory store.

Absolutely amazingly delicious. Every single one is wonderful.

Took awhile to get here but it was worth it for such amazing chocolate!

good

Box arrived in perfect condition. Chocolates were spoiled and melted together. This was very surprising as the weather has been very cold. Extremely disappointing
