Quality Street launches giant 2kg tin for Christmas and this is what's inside

Nothing says December quite like a big tin of Quality Street, so shoppers will be pleased to hear the seasonal 2kg tub is back.

Nestle has relaunched the mega tin just in time for Christmas and it weighs a massive 2kg, meaning it is more than three times what you get in their standard 650g plastic tub.

In previous years tins of Quality Street have caused upset after shrinking in size from 1,200g to 720g, and again to 650g in 2019.

And despite its significant decrease in size which is a regular conversation topic amongst families during the festive period, the price often stays the same.

This year the 2kg tin - an actual tin - can be purchased from B&M for £15, and slightly more on Amazon.

A reporter from Manchester Evening News wanted to see exactly what customers who splash out on the limited edition tin would get inside.

Counting out the tin, they found there were 203 chocolates all together, including all the favourites we all know and love.

But depending on which ones you like the most will probably dictate how happy you are with the contents, as the number of each chocolate varies dramatically.

Perhaps controversially there were more Coconut Eclairs than anything else - 25 of them in fact, followed by the Orange Creme, of which we found 24.

There were 23 each of the Strawberry Delight, Toffee Penny and Toffee Finger, followed by 22 of the Fudge.

Fans of the green Milk Choc Block might be disappointed to hear there were just 10 of those, with 11 each of the Orange Chocolate Crunch and The Green Triangle, 12 of the popular The Purple Ones and 19 Caramel Swirls.

Here's the list in order

  • Coconut Eclair 25

  • Orange Creme 24

  • Strawberry Delight 23

  • Toffee Penny 23

  • Toffee Finger 23

  • Fudge 22

  • Caramel Swirl 19

  • The Purple One 12

  • The Green Triangle 11

  • Orange Chocolate Crunch 11

  • Milk Choc Block 10
