The advertised selection weren’t in the tin.
The good points : they are obviously an upmarket choice of chocolates and they taste fabulous. These are the kind of chocolates where you could happily indulge in a couple and feel satisfied. The chocolate is creamy yet not too rich, and the flavours are exquisitely mixed to prove delightful in each little morsel. The tin itself is lovely (albeit a bit small) and the kind of tin you would happily make use of once the chocolates are all devoured!The bad points : the Decadent Spiced tin should have had 6 different flavours. Out of 6, we had a majority of 3 and a small number of one other. I didn’t even get 2 of them. For £12 and the rather small size of the tin, I consider this particularly disappointing. I suppose I would expect to at least sample all the flavours indicated as a minimum.In summary, a lovely delicious gift but with a few issues with regards to an adequate assortment in each tin.

Washed out and small
Firstly I expected a bigger tin - it is the size of my hand. I had bought these thinking I could share them out by making little packets. I didn't look at the grams carefully/only the picture. The sweets are not the colour that appeared in the picture. The Colours are almost white- washed out pastels. I did check the date and it ends in march 2020. It is now June 2019. have many more tiny pieces than big ones I feel. The parchment paper inside was teared as if someone wanted to take out a piece to check the taste before closing the tin. (Unsealed tin) I did want to try these and all happy I got to try them. I will share them out to guests. A generous 4 but won't purchase again.

lovely tin
Very disappointing. lovely tin. the bottom of tin was smeary with greasey marks. BUT so many tiny sweets the size of a pea. would have been better with less quantity and larger sweets. The little envelope was a nice . The item was far too expensive for its contents. Sweet coating detracted from the flavour of the individual sweet. I shall not be buying any more. I had hoped to buy more for Christmas gifts

Mmmm
These are the finest tasting items in the known universe. So far had the spicy and the fruity. It's difficult not to grab a fistful and stuff it in your gob all at once, somewhat at odds with the refined nature of the product.

Something different !
Bought these on a whim, and SO glad I did. If you're in the UK, you're probably already suffering the effects of pre-Xmas tubs of... let's see... rhymes with Pollity Feet, or... Badberry's Neroes, or... starting your Xmas celebrations early with tubs full of miniature Phwix, Silky Spray, Old Geezers, and Picnickers (previously known as NannyThongs), BarsBars, Whallacksie, Whallacksie caramel, and Mountie.Same old SAME OLD !These are delightful. Superbly made and presented, and fantastic, DIFFERENT flavours and textures. I've now ordered two lots of each type on offer as Christmas presents, but they'll probably get consumed as soon as they arrive!

Disappointing
For me the best thing about this product is the tin. I was so looking forward to sampling these treats but the reality was so disappointing. I had expected the candied fruits to be crystallised pieces and not covered in something which resembled yoghurt or white chocolate and inside in a sweet shell resembling sugared almonds. The same for the nuts. There was one which had a chemical taste when bitten through the shell. These were not a cheap purchase, and for me, not worth the price.

Don’t add it to your basket! Scroll far away!
Honestly I can’t stress enough the level of disappointment felt upon opening! Judging off the size of the packaging I was expecting it to be filled with sweets as described... however, upon opening the only thing taking up the space was the unnecessary interior packaging! Unlike the images displayed the majority of the sweets were tiny with only a handful of larger ones - not good!! especially considering the price paid from this. It still blows my mind!! The taste is definitely...questionable, I personally enjoy New/peculiar tastes ....however this was TOO much even for me. Unfortunately I would highly advise against this as a gift or a treat purely due to lack of quantity coupled with an seriously over inflated price. Don’t waste your money folks!

Indulgent treat with exotic flavours
I knew that the tin wouldn't be huge but I was tempted by what looked to be a unique combination of flavours. The violet and rose jellies are lovely, if a little strong. The little yellow sweets give a lovely hit of lemon, and the ginger chocolates are perfectly balanced in sweetness. The stars for me, though, are definitely the almond chocolates, which are divine, and a good number of them in the tin definitely justifies the price. I'm glad I bought these, and I'm trying my best not to eat them all at once! (ps since these arrived a few days ago, we've bought two more tins for friends for Christmas)
