Thorntons

The chocolate fountain at this Princes Street store is highly tempting and I went in the first time I walked past!
They do all sorts of combinations and whilst the marshmallow kebab dipped in melted chocolate is a favourite of many, that’s a little bit of a sugar overload in my opinion. I opted for a strawberry kebab instead, which was heavenly but I have two reservations; I feel like I could have recreated it at home with a bar of good quality chocolate and some strawberries from Tescos. Whatsmore, it was quite messy to eat.
It’s not that pricey, and worth a try. Just be armed with a lotttt of tissue paper!

I’ve been round most of the city centre looking for places that sell chocolates for gifts and after spending hours searching for places that might be suitable I realised that the most obvious choice, Thorntons, is also one of the very best.
It is hard to beat the products from here. Everything you buy not only looks fantastic and feels like a luxurious and generous gift, but are also full of a selection of tasty chocolates. One tip I would suggest, however, is that if you want it gift wrapped don’t pay the asking price as I’ve been offered for it to be done for 25% of the listed price for this service.
You can go elsewhere to try to find somewhere that can match Thorntons for both the quality and price of their goods, but I do think that like me you’ll find out that you’ve wasted your time and that you should have just come here.
