~ 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 these chocolates in a smaller sized box for around £6.50 and also a larger ...  Read the complete review

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 often visit the Thorntons café at a nearby designer outlet and enjoy the experience but after coffee I call in at a Cadbury chocolate shop to stock up on my favourite chocolate. But a box of Thorntons luxury chocolates were given to me and it would have been so rude not to have eaten them! Thornton's are highly regarded as manufacturers of gourmet chocolates and their presentation boxes always look amazing. For starters the 330g box of assorted classic milk chocolates were well presented in a dark blue and gold box. For some the packaging ...  Read the complete review

As the chances of Mr Right rocking up in time for this year's Valentine's Day grew increasingly slim, I was feeling rather sorry for myself, so sought consolation in a huge box of these from Tesco. The one good thing about being single on Valentine's Day is that you feel justified in buying a load of cut price chocolates and pigging them all yourself, which is exactly what I did. The fact that this 621g box, big enough to fill a whole basket, was half price at just £6 went a long way towards lifting my spirits! These chocolates are available in several different sized packages- a 106g bag, and a 350 or 700g box. The 621g box that I bought seems to have been a ...  Read the complete review

After reading these other review on this product, I would just like to chip in my slightly contrasting opinion. This is my opinion on the Thornton's Classics Milk, Dark and White Chocolate, 335g. Thornton's chocolates are generally fantastic, really rich and creamy and made with the finest ingredients. However, when a family member received these as a gift, we were all left a bit disappointed. ~~~~~~~~~ The Packaging ~~~~~~~~~ Housed in a cream and bronze box, these 'Classics' look just that. There is a real air of expense and quality to this box, the colours working together well. The box is a stout cuboid (a wide, square face that is ...  Read the complete review

Since I became a member of Dooyoo it has not only been an extremely enjoyable experience writing my reviews. In addition it has highlighted to me just how much chocolate I actually consume. I was looking at my previous reviews and I have written several on the scrummy subject of chocolate. I have to say in my defence however that I do get given a lot of the chocolate stuff from patients. I tend to collect the packaging however and store it at home until I decide to write a review on the items in question. So just to continue with my trend heres another one. The product this time is Thorntons Classics Chocolates. These chocolates come wonderfully packaged in a ...  Read the complete review
