Just wondering if anybody knows whether there are any boxes of chocolate still being made - apart from
Milk Tray
Thorntons
and things like celebrations, heroes etc
I remember there used to be loads including the strange Weekend box & Carousel .....

Are you asking about major brands that have survived for a long time (in which case Dairy Box and Black Magic are also obvious examples) or just any... there are new products launched regularly and must be hundreds available if you include lesser known and budget brands.

Both really
Say I wanted to buy somebody a box of chocolates
I seem to only have a very limited choice (even more so if they only like / dislike Dark chocolate
Most boxes I find seem to be a box of the same type eg truffles / ferrero rocher etc

There's probably a confectioners/chocolatier near you who will gladly put a box together.

Spoilt by the postie yesterday. We get a box from Hotel Chocolat every 2 months. Not cheap but you get what you pay for
