As the temperature drops and the days get shorter, so do our brains turn to the biggest event of the year cresting on the horizon: Christmas. But luckily Amazon has cut the price of some chocolate gifts from both Ferrero and Cadbury to make prep easier.
Firstly, their Ferrero Rocher 42-piece box has been slashed from £18.31, down to just £12.50 on Amazon. This beats both Tesco (£16.50) and matches ASDA (£12.50) – though with Amazon, you can get it delivered to your house.
Cadbury has also launched the Cadbury Dairy Milk Delux Chocolate Hamper, coming with 10 full-size chocolates. It includes Cadbury Dairy Milk, Caramel, Fruit & Nut, Marvellous Creations, Oreo, Wholenut, Orange Giant Buttons, Buttons and Caramel Nibbles, making 1.04kg worth of chocolate for £16.39.

Ferrero Rochers are made of crunchy hazelnut in the centre, with a creamy hazelnut filling and then a wafer shell covered in chocolate. The box of goodies has gone down a treat with shoppers, garnering an impressive average rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 42,118 reviews on Amazon.
One person said: “Bought for my mum’s birthday and she loves them. They are perfect for a gift and the size is brilliant for the price. Will buy again.” Another said: “Lovely presentation and ideal as a Christmas present.”
A third remarked: “Bought for my parents for Christmas and they were gone by the end of the day. Safe to say they enjoyed them and they’d want more in the future. Worth buying.” Of the negative reviews, one person said: “The price was good for Ferrero Rocher but the box was cracked and damaged which is not good when I got it as a gift for someone, unfortunately, I don’t have time to return and replace.”
Another said: “All good but unfortunately short best before date of just 2 months which not great as Xmas present.”
You can pick up the Ferrero Rocher Pralines box from Amazon for £12.50. Meanwhile, the Cadbury Dairy Milk Deluxe Chocolate Hamper has an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 1,486 reviews.
One person said: “Brilliant value for money when you compare how much this would cost if bought individually from a shop. Cannot complain about the taste of Cadbury’s chocolate, absolutely lush!! Brilliant selection of choices in a variety of sizes.” However, a less thrilled shopper wrote: “Got 2 of these on offer and they are good but we’re planned as birthday gifts but have a short shelf life, would’ve been good to know that (I did check before purchase, nothing noted)!”
You can pick up the Cadbury Dairy Milk Deluxe Chocolate Hamper for £16.39 from Amazon. Elsewhere, Thorntons are selling their Classic Collection for £12.75.
