Collection: Quality Street

Quality Street – A Tin Full of British Nostalgia

Quality Street is more than just a collection of individually wrapped sweets — it’s a British institution. First launched in 1936 by Mackintosh’s of Halifax, this iconic chocolate assortment was created to bring the joy of variety to the masses during a time when luxury confectionery was largely out of reach. Fast-forward nearly a century, and Quality Street remains a festive staple and a beloved classic in households across the UK.

The Full Line-Up: Every Sweet Has a Story

Each sweet in the Quality Street tin has its own fiercely loyal fanbase — some fight over the Green Triangle, while others hoard the Toffee Fingers like buried treasure. Here’s a reminder of the whole glorious gang:

• The Purple One – Milk chocolate with a runny caramel and hazelnut centre
• Green Triangle – A thick triangle of creamy hazelnut praline
• Strawberry Delight – A soft, fruity centre in smooth milk chocolate
• Orange Creme – A zingy orange fondant inside rich milk chocolate
• Fudge – Traditional creamy fudge wrapped in milk chocolate
• Toffee Finger – A chewy baton of toffee dipped in chocolate
• Toffee Penny – The toughest (and most nostalgic) of the lot – pure chewy toffee
• Coconut Eclair – A coconut fondant centre encased in milk chocolate
• Milk Choc Block – Simple, solid milk chocolate for the purists
• Caramel Swirl – A smooth caramel centre in a gold-wrapped chocolate whirl
• Orange Crunch – Chocolate and orange with a satisfying crunch
• Chocolate Caramel Brownie – The latest addition, blending caramel flavour and brownie-style chocolate filling

Why Quality Street Still Matters

Whether it’s Christmas Eve, a family gathering, or just an impromptu Tuesday night treat, it’s a ritual rooted in memory. The brightly coloured wrappers, the drama of choosing the “best one”, the silent judgement if you take two — this is confectionery theatre at its finest.
