So for a recent trip back to the States, I had to make a stop at Thornton's to pick up a box or two.

They had a few samples out for the customers to try. A worker immediately greeted me when I walked in and she gave me an overview of the store and answered my questions. There were so many choices, that I became a bit overwhelmed, but I was able to finally make a decision. The prices were reasonable for the quality of chocolate that they sell. This is a great place to pick up a sweet treat for yourself or a nice gift of chocolate for someone else.

When I walk in I have to resist the urge to start chewing at the walls just to see whether this shop is actually made of chocolate. So, it is a relatively small premise, but simply filled to the brim. Mainly this shop sells individual chocolates; cream filled, praline, nougat, dusted, dark and many more. They also sell a section of Thortons chocolates as well. Because I came in near Christmas there was plenty of Christmas gifts, such as chocolate Santa's and snowmen. I'm sure Easter is just as well represented. This is also a prefect place to pick up gifts. There are walls of chocolate gift boxes, ranging in size from a few chocs to around a hundred. Anyone want to buy me a present from here?

It all ended up in the bin! Total waste! I emailed for a refund and I can't see that happening. Bad customer service and bad quality overpriced chocolates.

I would say buy Cadburys much cheaper and without the disappointment!

They are superb! They do an interesting range which includes strawberry & black pepper (my favourite) and caramel & sea salt (my other favourite). They only sell what they made that day, so it's best in there kind of mid-morning. It's not cheap mind, but you are buying quality.
