Thorntons or Hotel du Chocolat ?

[vernon]

Having sampled both varieties I can confidently state that Kennedy's Chocolates beat Thorntons' and Hotel du Chocolat's offerings by a considerable margin.

It's a shame that they stopped taking online orders and have disabled the ordering/selection pages for Christmas delivery this Wednesday.

You'll all have to make do with inferior chocolates.

I've just received confirmation from Kennedy's Chocolates that my wife's chocolates are on their way.

Swiss Army chocolate is the best (especially when you have 70 bars left)

You've got my address.

Just saying....

Aldi dark chocolate is lovely.

We keep buying their cocktail truffles for Christmas. I say keep buying because we also keep eating them. We are just off out to buy some more.

Neither for us, being as we live 15 mins down the road from Hotel Chocolat's base and factory shop, plus Thornton's has gone right down the toilet over the years (see also Green & Blacks).

The stuff from Bourneville is nice.

For special presents, I use our local chocolate maker, Saffire. They are definitely for grown-ups, not overly-sweet, and in her farmer's market days, used to grow many of the plants used in fillings.

Montezumas giant choc buttons would be my choice if I had a partner to buy chocolate for

The office is getting a tub of Celebrations from me on Monday, because the daily mountain of sweet stuff in the kitchen is obviously insufficient!

Thorntons is better than most chocolates IMO.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like more a charcuterie and patisserie sort of town.

You've been away a long time Keith.

Thorntons have been pushed down the rankings by several chocolates makers.

Cant buy her Thorntons she managed several of their shops over the years, I would get the box thrown at me.

I think there may be a bit of teasing going on here. 3BM was pulled up for that same spelling offence by User as recently as last Tuesday
