Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re still stumped about what to gift your loved one, why not go for a classic box of chocolates for a sweet treat they’re sure to enjoy?
Ahead of the romantic day, Amazon has reduced this 455g box of Maltesers Milk Chocolate Truffles by 41%, from £13.75 down to just £8.05, for a limited time only.
The box should contain approximately 25 of the bite-sized treats, individually-wrapped and with the classic Maltesers creamy and crunchy filling – perfect for sharing with your nearest and dearest, or for hiding away in a cupboard and scoffing them all yourself.
The elegant red Maltesers Chocolate Truffles packaging makes a gorgeous chocolate gift box for any special occasion, and also fits easily into any wine gift bag if you want to make the presentation extra special.
The delicious chocolates are even suitable for vegetarians, making this the perfect gift for even the hardest person in your life to buy for.
The Maltesers Truffles box has been marked as Amazon’s Choice, denoting a highly-rated, well-priced product that is available to ship immediately – ensuring you receive it in time for February 14.
Indeed, it is hard to fault these “moreish” chocolates, with customers giving the box an overall rating of 4.6 stars out of five on Amazon, from more than 3,000 reviews.
One sweet-toothed fan raved: “When I say these are irresistible you should take that as “when I start eating them I don’t stop until they’re all gone”.
“If you or the one you’re buying for is a fan of Maltesers, they will fall in love with these from the first second they begin to chew. This is a large pack too, so that feeling will last them a while if they have the self-control that I clearly lack.”
Another added: “If you’ve never tried these you’re missing out. These are the best chocolates EVER! And that’s coming from a pastry chef. Box is really big and sturdy, it opens up like a drawer. Great gift to give, or to have to share with guests if they come over… or gobble down all by yourself.”
And a third commented: “These are absolutely delicious and I would recommend to anyone who likes truffles, chocolate or Maltesers! This pack is a great value for money as you get lots of truffles.”
Meanwhile, a fourth shopper simply wrote: “Brilliant size, absolutely huge, great gift for any Chocoholic!”
However, not everyone had a positive experience with this gift box, as one buyer commented: “I have ordered the 455g box multiple times now and in all but one of those occasions, the chocolate had bloomed and therefore didn’t taste quite as good, and had a weird texture to the outside. It is quite disappointing, really.”
And another added: “Although they are big boxes, they don’t fill them with sweets, therefore it’s not as good a deal as it appears to be. Sweets are tasty. No complaints with them, but I don’t believe I made a “huge” saving, as claimed in shopping page.”
You can also pick up a gift box of Malteser truffles at Sainsbury’s or at Tesco, however these will be less than half the size of the Amazon offering, at just 200g, and will also set you back almost twice the price per 100g.
The 200g gift box from these supermarkets cost £6.50 – or £4.50, if you have a Nectar card or Clubcard – which works out at either £3.25 or £2.25 per 100g, compared to just £1.77 per 100g in Amazon’s current deal.
Alternatively, if you’re prepared to splash out a bit more on a fancy box of chocolates for your beau this Valentine’s Day, you could opt for the Just Because Chocolate Gift Box from Hotel Chocolat, costing £19.95 and containing a selection of 16 mouth-watering truffles, pralines, and caramels.
