For many, the festive chocolate selection once meant a simple choice between Roses and Quality Street. Today, however, shoppers are spoilt for choice with an array of family-sized tubs and bulk boxes. The real bargains, it seems, are now found online, with a colossal 2kg Cadbury Heroes Chocolate Bulk Share Box leading the charge for value this Christmas.
Online Chocolate Bargains Beat Supermarket Prices
As part of Amazon's ongoing Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotions, the giant Heroes box is currently discounted by 27% to just £20.34. This works out at a cost of £1.02 per 100g, which undercuts the price of the standard 600g tubs sold on the retailer's own website, priced at £1.67 per 100g. The deal presents a significant saving for families planning their festive gatherings.
The box itself is packed with an assortment of miniature versions of popular Cadbury bars, including Dairy Milk, Crunchie, and Twirl. On Amazon's website, the product has earned an impressive 4.7 out of 5 star rating from reviewers. One customer shared that the bulk box has become a cherished family tradition, ideal for sharing over several days when hosting large groups.
More Festive Confectionery Favourites on Offer
For those seeking variety beyond the Heroes selection, other substantial online deals are available. A permanent favourite is Nestlé's The Big Chocolate Box, which contains 1.3kg of full-sized chocolate bars. This assortment features iconic snacks like KitKat, KitKat Chunky, Yorkie, and Aero, making it a versatile gift option.
Meanwhile, for a more festive-shaped treat, the Maltesers Reindeer bulk pack offers 32 reindeer-shaped chocolates for £18.99. Other retailers are also joining the festive promotion fray. Thorntons, for example, is offering 10% off its seasonal boxes, including a Continental Seasonal Assortment priced at £16, as part of its Cyber Monday sales.
Considerations for Shoppers
While the value and quality of the chocolate in the Cadbury Heroes box are widely praised, some Amazon reviewers have noted a potential issue for those intending to give it as a present. Several comments mentioned that the outer packaging can sometimes arrive damaged, which may affect its suitability as a wrapped gift. Shoppers are therefore advised to consider this if purchasing specifically for gifting purposes.
Beyond mass-market confectionery, premium options are also available for those looking to indulge. Hotel Chocolat has introduced an all-new pewter model of its Velvitiser machine, which uses real chocolate nibs to create luxurious hot drinks, offering a decadent alternative for the festive season.
