Red bounty (Plain chocolate) was lovely. Shame they discontinued it.This is the correct answer. Quality Street can go in the bin tbh. Nothing quality about it. Our local Sainsbury's still had lots of tubs of that stuff left a day or two before Christmas last year, whereas most of the other stuff were sold out.
Also, I hated Bounty all my life until last Christmas for some reason when I just decided to grab one from the Celebrations tub we had. From that point, Bounty started to grow on me after not having one for years. Not a fan of coconut in general, so that might've been why I hated Bounty.
As for ratio of chocolates in Celebrations tubs, Roses, basically any of these chocolates, it's getting worse every year. And the total in the box
That's because they changed the chocolate recipe after the Americans took over and now it tastes like sugary dirt.

Roses are named after the Dorothy Cadburys favourite flowers apparently. I only know this as I went to the Cadbury factory tour thing a few weeks back.
Amen
Its no surprise when they all uses the legal minimum to still be called "chocolate". No point buying the big brands over home brands anymore.
This deserves a thread ban.

They only do the smaller tubs but work out at £4.5 per 500g or £9 a Kg instead of £11.64 per Kg for the big box on Amazon.

Where would you rank Guylian Seashells?
Somewhere between “kept in a cupboard for regifting next year” and “the aunt you don’t like very much is coming over, get those weird shell chocolates out”.

Totally different price point though, Quality Street are 81p per 100g, Roses 95p per 100g.

Its one of my number one hatreds and I think companies should be heavily fined for it. Overly large packaging and packaging that can't be recycled. Theres no excuse. They do it to give the impression of a large product. They could reduce the boxes by 2/3rds I reckon. They could use cardboard.
if you're going purely on price, then you can pick up a piece of dog **** off the pavement for free!
To be fair, the tubs are pretty handy for storing stuff in the shed!

I mean its personal choice and all but if you class that as edible, then crack on.
Everything serves a purpose at different price points, we usually have a Hotel Chocolat signature cabinet for christmas i wouldn't grab a handful of those during the day to snack on whilst doing some DIY etc, but i'd happily grab some Quality Street.
