Choose the Classic Tasting Box for chocolate, nuts, coffee, caramel and citrus. Choose the Patisserie Tasting Box for dessert-inspired flavours such as Black Forest, Kunafa and Lemon Tart. Each contains 16 pieces, with selected flavours repeated. The House Tasting brings both boxes together: 32 pieces in two boxes.
The distinction is about what you enjoy eating, not whether one box is a more serious gift. Here is how to choose without guessing from the packaging.
The Classic Tasting Box: eleven ways into chocolate
The Classic Tasting Box includes Signature, Almond, Pistachio, Hazelnut, Sea Salt, Caramel, Marble, Biscoff, Orange Zest, Coffee and Cashew.
Signature is the direct, chocolate-led starting point. The nut flavours introduce roasted character and texture. Coffee takes the selection in a deeper direction; Orange Zest brings citrus; Caramel and Biscoff offer sweeter, familiar flavour associations. Sea Salt supplies a contrasting finish.
This is our suggestion for someone whose favourite dessert is usually chocolate itself. It also makes sense for a shared box: there is room for the person who reaches for nuts, the coffee drinker and the one who always chooses caramel.
Eleven flavours does not mean eleven pieces. The box contains 16 pieces, so some flavours repeat. It is an assortment, rather than an equal number of every flavour.
The Patisserie Tasting Box: choose by your favourite dessert
The Patisserie Tasting Box contains six flavours across 16 pieces:
- Black Forest: cherry-led chocolate, with sour cherry preserve and white chocolate.
- Kunafa: pistachio cream, crisp kunafa and roasted pistachios.
- Velvet Rose: a floral direction with rose petal preserve.
- Nutella: a familiar hazelnut-chocolate filling.
- Salted Peanut Butter: roasted peanut butter with sea salt.
- Lemon Tart: lemon curd and buttery biscuit crumble against chocolate.
Choose this box for someone who studies the dessert menu before ordering dinner. It is particularly useful when you know their favourite flavour combination but want to give it in a different form: cherry and chocolate, lemon and biscuit, or pistachio and something crisp.
These are patisserie-inspired fudge flavours, not miniature versions of the original cakes or tarts. Selected flavours repeat within the box.
The House Tasting: when the choice is genuinely difficult
The House Tasting pairs one Classic Tasting Box with one Patisserie Tasting Box. You receive 32 pieces in two boxes, covering both flavour selections.
It is worth considering for a shared dessert table or a household whose preferences divide neatly between familiar chocolate flavours and more layered combinations. If you are buying for one person with a clear favourite, more variety is not automatically the better choice.
Already know what they love? Build a box instead
A tasting box is for discovery. A build-your-own box is for someone who would happily choose the same two flavours again.
The Build Your Own Classic Fudge Box lets you select two classic flavours, divided equally. The Build Your Own Patisserie Fudge Box follows the same two-flavour approach within that range. Check the selected weight and piece count on the product page before adding it to your basket.
A few details to check before gifting
Ask about ingredient restrictions before choosing the assortment, especially when nuts or biscuit-based flavours are involved. A vegetarian selection is not the same as a vegan selection. The Sugar-Free Vegan range is separate; do not assume it is included in either tasting box.
Consider when the recipient can receive and refrigerate the fudge, too. A thoughtful flavour choice matters more when the box is looked after properly after arrival. Read the current delivery details on the product page before choosing a date-sensitive gift.
The shortest route to a decision
For familiar chocolate-led flavours, choose Classic. For dessert-inspired combinations, choose Patisserie. To explore both, choose House Tasting. And if you already know the answer to “which flavour?”, build around it.
