I’ve got my big Toblerone for Christmas. Before anyone asks, no it’s not the 4.5kilo one🤣. I might treat myself to a pack of Lindt Truffles with my Tesco Points.
Don’t remind me - I just LOVE Lindt Lindor. Last year, I bought one of the big plastic balls wrapped like a truffle and full of the actual things. Bought as a present but I couldn’t wrap it so I got them something else and ate the chocs myself.

Andi, Tesco have them, loads of choice. On offer £4.50 for 200g. Bigger sizes on offer too. Every time I go to Tesco I buy a box, for presents you understand! (Latest addition is Blood Orange)

Thanks. I think I got the ball and a giant bag in Tesco last year, come to think of it. I don’t remember letting anyone even get a sniff of a single one! I’ve not been to Tesco for ages but I’ll be going again soon now. How can you buy a box so regularly and keep them as gifts? You must have great willpower.

Haha! Not really, I hide them away in my upstairs present drawer and try to forget about them, hopefully. Am trying not to scoff chocs before December!! Yes, pop to Tesco, good prices on the chocs

Any chance of you buying Cadbury's? There really isn't any chocolate that I don't like. Just hearing the word Lindt starts my craving. It's sophisticated, but I still like common old Mars bars, Bounty and Milky Way. The list can go on and on.
 
This chocolate range is very very overated imo. My local Dobbies were selling this last year and the year before they stopped around six months ago, low and behold they're stocking it last week in the lead up to Christmas . I personally know no one who wants to pay their prices, top of the list is me.

Always used to buy Cadburys but since they changed the formula it now upsets my stomach.
 
Thorntons or Black Magic for me every time. Sadly Thorntons closed their cafes where you used to get a gorgeous, delicious chocolate with your coffee but you can still buy their chocolates in shops and on amazon. Link

I bet the boxes are opened one or 2 taken out of each box and resealed 😂
 
Hi Mollie, just to let you know that I had e-mailed QVC about this as I think that customers should be notified when a parcel has been despatched.

I hope your parcel arrives soon. 🤞
Thanks Noni - it really is a shambles isn't it 😟. I did telephone customer services on Friday- they told me they hadn't had any issues with the supplier and I needed to wait ten working days (so almost 3 weeks if you disregard the two weekends either side). My order is still 'in progress' - I really hope it is 😲 thanks for your info, gives me a glimmer of hope 😄

Hotel Chocolat was bought out by Mars
Early this year dispute them saying that they will still make the chocolates from the same recipe at the hotel Chocolat factory and keep the name it does not seem half as nice
I am sure with the money the directors got from the take over they are not bothered if Mars use cheaper ingredients
After all they will still make money from their shares in the company
Maybe I am being cynical 😏

Interesting Little Jan as although I knew they had been bought I was aware of their statements about retaining the same standards etc but your post made me think, didnt they used to have a woman in the demos on behalf of HC who showed how the recipes were created 🤔 if so I haven't seen that for ages....so I dont think you are cynical but maybe highlighting another company once bought using cheaper ingredients and devaluing the brand .... 🙁 that said I'm still a fan of the HC white mojito packs that you can get from Ocado 🙂
