Hotel chocolat

(Darn should have read the OP properly)
Thorntons isn't that good IMO.

Insufficient quantity.
It's only ever just enough to give your kids a treat...

Choc Affair is good : https://choc-affair.com/product-category/handmade-chocolate-bars/

If you like a bit of spice, then South Devon Chilli Farm is nice as well : https://www.southdevonchillifarm.co.uk/online-shop/chilli-chocolate/honeycomb-chilli-chocolate/

http://montybojangles.com/product/flutter-scotch/ are really nice as well - easy to find in Waitrose and possibly other supermarkets

Speaking of fudge, I saw some that looked nice on ebay. Handmade fudge with turkish delight, covered in chocolate. Its a shame the delivery is so expensive for sweets and chocolate, but if you order a lot it doesnt work out too bad.

If you're in London around December time, Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park (free admission) normally has stalls that have TONS of excellent fudge for sale. This year I'm buying ALL of it!

Lauden chocolate.

The fillings are top notch!

Sainsbury's stock a few of their bars currently. Usually find them at Airports or further East.

Leonidas at <£40 / kg are excellent for the money, you have to spend considerably more to find better.

I don't find Godiva that good really.

I’ve always been underwhelmed by Hotel Chocolate, I find their chocolate very bland every time I’ve tried it. Are they actually any good?
