Product Information

Interestingly, despite there being ten flavours, there’s only 54 in the box - and no excuses of supply issues to account for less. If you’re considering things in terms of value for money, then it should be noted that Roses has the least amount of chocolates of the selection tins and boxes we compared. It’s a tale as old as time. As the end of the year inches closer, families, friends, partners and colleagues all over the country will battle it out amongst each other to ensure they don’t end up with the last Bounty or the Toffee Penny in the festive chocolate tin. But, as varied as it is, there are actually only eight flavours in a Celebrations tin - the smallest variety out of the four. That being said, there are a whopping 65 chocolates in total, which is the highest number out of the lot.

In this tub, there were seven Toffee Fingers and five Toffee Pennies - accounting for around 18% of the chocolates. These are perhaps the two most controversial flavours found in a tin of Quality Street because, let’s be honest, they’re usually the ones left 'til the end. They may even make it to New Year depending on how favoured they are. But compared with all of the other boxes, Roses offered the most equal ratios in terms of flavours. Tangy Orange Creme - Square-shaped milk chocolate with orange moulded on top, filled with orange-flavoured creme fondant (orange wrapper).

Hazel Whirl - Dome-shaped milk chocolate, patterned with spiral twirl, with hazelnut in centre (purple wrapper with orange edges).

A spokesperson for Nestle said: "We balance our Quality Street selection by grouping the sweets into three categories that we know our consumers love: Fruits; Toffees and Fudge; and Nuts, Chocolates and Caramels, with each making up roughly one third of the total. The chunk itself and the Strawberry Dream take the prize for the most popular, with seven of each in our box. On the other side of the equation, it’s the Signature Truffle and the Caramel that make themselves lesser known here with five each.
