Now this is the important information we need!

The tale of the tape:

  • Quality Street - 600g, 66 chocs, +2
  • Celebrations - 550g, 60 chocs, -5
  • Roses - 550g, 51 chocs, -3
  • Heroes - 550g, 59 chocs, +3

All retail at £6.

However, with Heroes there is a caveat:

With a total of 59 chocolates, this year’s tin marked a return to form with the mini versions of Twirl returning once again. For the last two years, the miniature chocolates were replaced altogether with two full-sized Twirl fingers due to disruption in its supply chain.

Last year’s Heroes tin contained 56 chocolates - meaning it’s the only one of the four to have upped its number this year, but, really, that is due to the fact that we had two full-size Twirl fingers last year instead.

So they replaced 2 full-size Twirls with 5 mini ones.

The conclusion:

If we’re going purely on tin size and the amount of chocolates inside, the clear winner in terms of value-for-money here has to be Quality Street as it has the most choice, the most contents and the biggest tin.

On the opposite side of the scale, Roses had the lowest amount of chocolates inside at 51 - but it didn’t have the least choice of flavours. Celebrations had the least choice with just eight different chocolates inside - but, in a redeeming factor, it did also have the second most chocolates inside (60).

However, you are probably going to go with the one that contains your favourite chocolates. Even if it’s a present for someone else.

    The main tub this year weighs 600kg and features 11 different flavours - retailing at around £6

    Pretty good value for over half a tonne of chocky
