Every Quality Street chocolate, ranked: which is your favourite?

Time to argue about which is the best Quality Street sweet!

Every Quality Street chocolate, ranked: which is your favourite?
16 February 2023

It's come around again: the most wonderful time of the year... to argue with your family over who gets what chocolate from the Quality Street box.

It's an argument that's been around since 1936, when the first Quality Street box was launched. A box that was named after a play by JM Barrie, the author of Peter Pan.

UPDATE: Christmas may be over for another year but that doesn't mean the world doesn't have thoughts about which is their best Quality Street.

Back then they were made by Mackintosh (which became Rowntree Mackintosh) but that company was snaffled by Nestle in 1988.

Oh, and the reason the sweets have that twisty wrapping is because they invented the machine that twists the wrapper. You learn something new everyday...

So, whether you're a Celebrations, Miniature Heroes, Roses or Quality Street fan, you're sure to get into a few tiffs this Christmas over your favourite sweet.

And that's where we come in: we're letting you have your say on what the absolute, definitive, 100% best Quality Street sweet is.

Here's our list of every choc in the box – and its up to you which one gets that coveted hotspot. Get voting.

3. Caramel Swirl

£10.49
Buy now from Amazon

Like a giant Rolo, there's not much wrong with the Caramel Swirl – and it's probably the nicest looking choc of the lot.

4. Fudge

£10.49
Buy now from Amazon

Another dependable classic, the Fudge is exactly that – a big chunk of fudge. Not very exciting, but it does the job.

5. Chocolate Toffee Finger

£10.49
Buy now from Amazon

Better known for its incongruous shape than it is its flavour, the toffee finger normally lurks at the midpoint in most Quality Street rankings.

6. Milk Choc Block

£10.49
Buy now from Amazon

Can't really go wrong with this one. As the name suggests, it's just a block of milk chocolate. A delicious stalwart – but not that exciting.

7. Orange Chocolate Crunch

£10.49
Buy now from Amazon

Another chocolate/orange combo, this one has a much better reputation than the Orange Creme – probably because of its delicious extra crunch, which has an almost honeycomb texture.

8. Strawberry Delight

£10.49
Buy now from Amazon

Another controversial pick, the Strawberry Delight, alongside its coconut and orange comrades, is a matter of severely mixed opinion. Just means all the more for you though, right?

9. Toffee Penny

£10.49
Buy now from Amazon

Creamy and chewy, these retro sweets stick to the roof of your mouth and stay there all afternoon. If that sounds appealing, they're the ones for you. If not – avoid.

10. Orange Creme

£10.49

The most maligned chocolate of them all, the Orange Creme might be an acquired taste – but those who love it REALLY love it.

11. Chocolate Caramel Brownie

£10.49
Buy now from Amazon

The newest addition to the Quality Street family, the Chocolate Caramel Brownie was introduced in 2019, replacing the Toffee Deluxe. It does what it says on the tin – gooey brownie deliciousness – though it doesn't have the cult status of other picks from the box, so potentially less likely to be fought over.
