Exact number and flavour of chocolates in Quality Street, Roses, Heroes & Celebrations unveiled

Everyone has a favorite Christmas chocolate, whether it’s Quality Street, Cadbury’s Roses, Cadbury’s Heroes, or Celebrations. For many, having that classic box of chocolates is a tradition that’s essential throughout the festive season.

Whether you prefer a satisfying crunch in your chocolate, the rich indulgence of smooth toffee, or even the tropical twist of coconut, a box of chocolates offers something for everyone.

But It can be frustrating when you purchase a box only to discover that your favourite chocolate is in short supply, while there are plenty of the ones that nobody enjoys.

A few years ago, a Nestlé spokesperson explained that the Quality Street assortment consists of three main categories of sweets: fruit cremes, chocolates, and toffees and fudge. Each tub is generally divided into these three sections, which is why some people may receive more Strawberry Delights and fewer Green Triangles.

A Cadbury spokesperson explained that slight variations in the mix can occur due to manufacturing processes, and the most important factor is listening to customers.
