Butlers
Lily O'Briens
And Thorntons

They are not that great imo :mad: Particularly Lily O'brien's...bleugh

Now Leonidas!

I think all three of those are generally manky. Can't stand Lily O Briens!

Yup, waxy and horrible. Some of the thorntons are alright, the sicilian lemon one in thorntons continental are nice. The rest are mank.

So many 'hand made' chocolates are waxy, which you wouldn't expect. And way overpriced.

Cannot agree more.

Yea I really don't like lily o'briens either? They taste cheap or something.
Must be why they're not expensive.

Yep out of the above 3, Butlers might be just edible

Slunk · 29-12-2013 12:32PM

Thornthons are absolutely dire. The other two are ok but not worth the price.

emeraldstar · 29-12-2013 02:21PM

I quite like Butler's; the other two are sh!te.

road_high · 29-12-2013 05:40PM

The taste doesn't live up to the branding unfortunately.

For me:
Thornton's = bad
Butler's = badder
Lily O'Briens = baddest

I agree ..l love Leonidas but was once in the company of a Belgian lady who told me that they consider Leonidas to be a cheap inferior chocolate

Thorntons have been selling the huge boxes in Tesco for €6.99. Something had to give and that thing was quality judging by the box I have.

I like Butler's for the most part but Thorntons are absolutely vile. Received a box for Christmas and threw most of the box out. That NEVER happens here!

Those Lily O'Brien dessert sweets are disgusting.

Thornton's = not mad on
Butler's = love but very rich
Lily O'Briens = like[/QUOTE]
Lindor is nice

Belgian chocolate is nice but depends there are brands of chocolate that aren't great in the hand made chocolates can't think of what they are now.

Agree, lindor or lindt whichever are really nice. Not keen on the other 3 at all.
