Thorntons Classic Collection

~ THE CHOCOLATES ~ My boyfriend's auntie bought me and my boyfriend a large box of chocolates to share as an Easter gift. We were expecting a small egg, how-ever she spent a bit more and handed us a huge box from Thornton’s. The box is called the classic collection and has a total of 42 chocolates which contains classic favourites including Caramel, Fudge, Fruit & Nut centres covered in milk, dark and white chocolate. I can’t find these on the Thornton’s website so I’m not 100% how much they are, however I imagine they are around £9.99 or just under for the box of these. You can purchase ... more

It’s become something of a tradition hereabouts that towards the end of March my Mum goes into her yearly rant about the cost verses quantity of chocolate in Easter eggs as well as the amount of packaging. Strangely, she always seems more than happy when I buy her an egg; it just seems that when it comes to spending her money she refuses to be sucked into the Easterly marketing madness spewed forth by Cadbury, Mars et al. This belligerent anti Easter egg stance is not without its benefits though, as her loving children invariably receive chocolate of far superior quality and quantity to that ... more

In all honesty if someone asked me which chocolate came top of the tree for me I could not say that it was Thorntons.

I recently had a birthday and was lucky enough to receive not one, not two, but three boxes of Thorntons Classic Collection chocolates. My friends must know me very well and know that I love a box of chocolates so I was very happy with my presents and of course with the Thorntons box as in my opinion they make a really lovely box of chocolates. The beauty about this box of chocolates is that you have a little something of everything in it to suit everyone's taste although I don't share my chocolates!! The box comes with two identical layers of chocolates which is nice as if you have your ... more
