I opened the Quality Street, Heroes, Celebrations & Roses to see what’s in each one - and there were a few surprises

With 11 days to go until Christmas, now seems as good of a time as any to FINALLY open up those Christmas chocolate tins and scoff all the best ones. We do usually wait until after my birthday on December 22 to open them - but I took one for the team in the name of research, this year.

Whether you’re a Quality Street house or a Roses home, we’ve all got a favourite inside each of the festive treat boxes. For me, Heroes Fudge are always the first to go, and I’m partial to a Quality Street toffee penny, but you can keep your Celebrations Bounties and Roses Hazel Whirls.

Over the past few years, shoppers have noticed a marked difference in the quantity of each of the chocolates, with their being fewer of some and more of others. Of course, it would be a huge shame to be a fan of the Green Triangle only to find just four of them in a tub.
