Thorntons, the boxes of chocolates to give as gifts

A chocolate maker from Sheffield

Joseph William Thornton opened his first confectionery shop in Sheffield in 1911. Thorntons became the British people's go-to chocolatier for gift boxes of chocolates, and his toffees have remained famous.

The assortments

• The Classic Collection : an assortment of milk, dark and white chocolates, filled with caramel, praline, fudge or cream.
• The Classic Mint Collection : the same idea, centred around mint.
