I only get Thorntons at christmas. I havnt had them for maybe two years and they are soooo good.

But yea, I love thorntons, I had a few of the Winter selection ones and damn are they strong and filled with much alcohol but also really yummy.

I dont think you get chocolates like these in America.

My favorite one:

Mulled Wine - Dashes of red wine and orange juice, mixed with spicy nutmeg and sprinkled with demerara sugar. The perfect European winter warmer.

It was beyond om nom nom nommy!

The reason I got so many was because they were £50 reduced to £35 for the whole hamper for the last few days of the Xmas sale.

I should be recieving a package of Thornton's from a UK friend soon.
Will be doing as the picture above shows until they arrive.

The thing I like the best is that the ones in the red box are mini christmas puddings from around europe, particularly from France, Germany and Italy. They have lots of different flavors, theres gingerbread, nutmeg, orange, maple, mince, raisin, apricot, plus dashes of wine, brandy, rum and whatever else

.

I would have liked two red boxes instead of 2 normal continental ones, but I suppose that the strength of them is not to everyones taste. If your mouth winces at 80% cocoa, coffee, or lemon chocolates, you wouldnt be able to handle the red box, far too strong, spicy and alcohol filled they are, but they taste like santa, jingle bells, christmas trees, mistletoe and snowflakes are all having a party in my mouth.

Mmmmmmmm.

Red box FTW.

I hate Thornton's - don't ask me why. Posh chocs - ick.

Thornton's backwards is Snot n roht.

Will post a picture of my pressie in 4 weeks - we don't have enough money until then

bhavv · Dec 23, 2009, 12:35 PM // 12:35

Yea, but thorntons make real chocolates, not milk filled candy crap in usual supermarket brands =D.

To be honest, Cadburys Roses taste like Snot to me. The caramel in them is so bland, yucky, tasteless, and snot like.

Snot n roht is funny though.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Thorntons.

If you, like me, apreciate the REAL stuff, check out Hotel Chocolat. Pretty expensive (and dont even bother if you're living outside of the UK/US), but completely awesome. <3

Merry xmas to you, fellow choclate appreciator! ^^

All I ever get is after-eights... And usually I have to win a game of "Chase the Ace" to claim them!

People, please ignore the 'sexy stomach' ad next to my OP, and feel free to enjoy chocolate.
