With the festive season just around the corner, consumers are starting to tick items off their Christmas shopping lists - and there's always space for more chocolate. Amazon customers can snap up this 2kg box of Quality Street in a massive festive Black Friday deal.
The Quality Street Assorted Chocolates Bulk Sharing Pack is now up for grabs on Amazon for £20.45, reduced from £27.29, offering shoppers approximately 25% off. It's an ideal gift or sharing item, featuring a selection of the most popular chocolates that have been loved for years, divided into three separate plastic bags with roughly 667g of chocolates in each.
The online description reads: "Quality Street chocolates are the most welcome face at any celebration and are sure to brighten up every occasion with their vibrant multi-coloured wrappers and variety of flavours including The Purple One and Green Triangle."
For those wanting to avoid the frantic supermarket rush for sweet goodies, there are other bulk options available. Cadbury offers a 700g box of Heroes for £14 or a 1kg Lindt Lindor Assorted Chocolate Truffles bag for £21.50 (prices accurate at the time of writing).
However, Amazon's Quality Street offer has received high praise from customers. One shopper commented: "A good amount of chocolate for a family to share."
Another said: "This is one of the best bulk boxes one can have. They come well-packed with very little wastage of packing material. This sharing pack is very good for parties."
One satisfied customer remarked: "There's something for everyone. It's the perfect treat for the holiday season, as long as I can resist sneaking a few before then!" Another chimed in: "Absolutely thrilled with the choices and variety in here - was slightly worried it would consist of mainly one or two flavours but there was an even mix of them."
However, not all feedback was positive, with one disgruntled shopper stating: "Not best pleased! I bought them ready for Christmas and opened them last night, and they were tangy. Chocolate was bloomed."
Blooming occurs when a white, powdery layer forms on the surface of chocolate due to fat or sugar crystal separation. While it doesn't make the chocolate unsafe to eat, it does affect its appearance and could make it less suitable as a gift without some explanation.
Another disappointed buyer noted: "The chocolates are misshapen factory rejects. and smaller in size than usual. They are of poor quality, all soft centres and badly wrapped."
