Poor Quality And Difficult To Tell Difference Between Chocol
Nutty caramel, no nuts! Orange blush, and so it should, according to description contains tangy orange pieces but not in evidence! Really poor flavours and wild descriptions - are Thorntons now being run by accountants.
Very disappointing

Not What I Remember
Wow, I saw a box of continental in Sainsbury and thought I would treat myself as I used to love these. They are now bland, oily, cheap nasty rubbish. So sad.

They've Changed
In the past decade since so many Thorntons shops closed down, the chocolates still available in Hallmark/gift shops have completely changed from creamy and decadent, to waxy and tasteless (Viennese truffles in particular, which have always been a favourite).
They now resemble nasty American chocolate. Won't be spending £4+ on a single packet again.
Couldn't agree more! So disappointed with the boxes of Continental I bought for Xmas presents. Thank goodness I tried one first.
Used to be my favourite chocolates so when I discovered they made a box of dark ones I couldn't resist buying one for myself. Ugh! Horrible cocoa taste & nothing like the original. Fillings totally different too. How can they be allowed to use the same name for them?

Not What They Used To Be
Just had a box of continental chocks for Christmas whata let down compared to how good they used to be .I think there’s a good chance this company will go bust if they don’t pull there socks up . A salute Rubbish .
I totally agree with you after having bought Thorntons for the last 40 years! This year's box was so disappointing and I kept saying to my husband 'They are not the same." They seemed like 'bog standard' ones from the supermarket. Then I started remembering the ones which were missing and from the original 'Continental Selection' and then it dawned on me something was not right and my suspicions were confirmed when I read this review! I definitely won't be buying them again and would rather pay more, eat less and get better quality. It's such a pity they are no long on the High Street.

Not The Thornton’s Continental Selection I Know And Love
For the last 30yrs my son has bought me the continental selection,beautiful chocolates,since stores closed they have “gone back” tremendously, none of the infamous diplomat,vanilla truffle or Viennese truffle only original chocolate in box was the Alpini, we won’t be buying again all taste the same no different flavours waste of money may as well have bought milk tray or dairy box at least you can taste what they are !!! Very dissatisfied customer
Terrible Chocolates
Thornton’s used to be the best quality chocolates available but now they are on a par with all the other tasteless and cheap chocolates on the market, totally disgusted and disappointed, they went in the bin, I really hope that rather than continue to ruin the reputation Thorntons had, the new owners give it up and stop trading. Giving one star is a joke and only given as I couldn’t give zero.

Broken Bottle
Recently ordered Xmas Gifts on line around six items. One was broken in the box. Phoned Thornton's and I received a replacement the very next day at 9am. Excellent customer service and I already know the chocolate is brilliant much better than the most popular brands already on the market. The only way I think you could get better is by going to Belgium and buying Belgium chocolates. WELL DONE THORNTONS

How Boring Are Continental Chocolates?
Thorntons continental chocolates are all very well, nice chocolate and all, but don't they all taste pretty much the same? I took 3 from a box. 1 in a yellow wrapper had maybe the tiniest hint of orange. 1 in an orange wrapper had a crystalline texture but no real flavour jumping out at me. 1 in a purple wrapper had a slightly liquid centre and I got a very very vague idea that it might be caramel.
What is the point of chocolates or "truffles" that all pretty much taste thr same? Why don't any of the premium chocolate makers forget their truffles and make a decent box of traditional British chocolates with decent chocolate?
PLEASE! Give most of the the "creams" a miss, though. One apalling strawberry/orange cream per layer is more than enough and the recipient can always find an idiot to remove it from the tray!
Mmmm, Black Magic in real chocolate..... nice! Bring back "Good News" chocolates in good chocolate - even better!
I don't like boxes of continental truffles that all taste pretty much the same, but having gotten used to Lindt and Greens & Black chocolate, I cannot eat ANY British cheap chocolate again.
PLEASE, someone, make a decent British chocolate selection in quality chocolate.
