‘I counted every choc in Heroes, Roses, Quality Street and Celebrations to determine which to purchase’
Ever wondered which of Britain’s chocolate boxes had the most pieces? You’re in luck! I’ve counted each tub to find out which is really worth your cash…
A half-empty box of chocolates on the coffee table is as much a part of Christmas as the tree or the presents – and the festive season isn’t complete without the complaints.
People take to social media every year to complain that their favourite box holds fewer chocolates thanks to shrinkflation.
So, as nobody wants to shell out loads on a big tub only to find it filled with Bounties, I’ve counted each chocolate from Britain’s most beloved brands. I went to my local Tesco to buy Celebrations, Quality Street, Heroes, and Roses to discover which one is really worth your cash this holiday season.
Celebrations
Celebrations are a personal favourite of mine and it was interesting to discover why Milky Ways are always the last ones left – there were more of them than any other type in the box, reported the Express.

Bounty – 8
Milky Way – 9
Galaxy Caramel – 5
Galaxy Plain – 5
Maltesers – 5
Snickers – 7
Mars – 8

Heroes
Heroes was very equal in its portions as Double Deckers, Crème Egg Twisted, Crunchies, Dairy Milks and Wispas all had the same amount with seven pieces.

If you are looking for the best value box then you may want to buy Quality Street this Christmas as it had the most chocolate with 61 pieces.
It only had four Green Triangles and Milk Chocolate Blocks but if you’re a caramel fan, then this is the box for you – with a whopping nine Caramel Swirls.
