Roots & Wings orange autumn leaves
£5.69, 120g
These thin milk chocolate shapes are elegant and tasty, not too sweet, not overpoweringly citrussy and very smooth with bit of posh Caramac about them.
Davenports orangettes from Love your Larder
£4.95, 100g
Yes, that happy orange and chocolate combo is out in force for Christmas. These had an unexpected squidgy orange segment centre and a pleasant texture with nice chewy orange peel.
Betty's milk chocolate penguins
£5.25, 90g
Cute shapes, nice chocolates (if perhaps on the large side) which will appeal to adults and children alike. Even the white chocolate penguin bellies don't taste too sweet.
Praline & salted caramel frogs by Artisan du Chocolat
£10 for a box of five
What's not to love about a beautiful chocolate frog? Delicious chocolate and the caramel has that slightly burnt sugar, hand-made taste, which really sets them apart. Novelty chocs for adults.
Fortnum & Mason milk chocolate cinder toffee
£8.50, 250g
A posh crunchie with lovely thick chocolate and very crunchy honeycomb ending with a bit of a chew. Pleasingly large, unevenly shaped chunks. Good mix of fun and posh.
Montezuma's Chilli and Lime chocolate snowballs
£4.99, 150g
Shockingly enjoyable for white chocolate - a lovely balance of flavours, just enough heat from the chilli combines beautifully with soothing lime and creamy chocolate.
Chococo's Chocolate Crackle Tree
£10.50, 100g
Nicely presented in a colourful box, these cones come in dark and milk chocolate are studded with home-made Smarties and popping candy. A good fun, if oddly shaped, chocolate gift.
