  • Wrapping them in cellophane would not stop me if I fancied some chocolate !!!! I hate dark chocolate though.....maybe I should try and buy dark chocolate wrapped in gold !

    Could we all make a list of what sweets/chocolate we are putting in and where did we get it from?

    Just sort of to help eachother.

    We had a couple of tins of assorted chocolate, so i've stole all the gold wrapped ones (think quality street, roses, hero's etc)

    also i've got:
    Cadbury Wishes
    Asda Chocolate E'clares
    Chocolate Coins

    I think thats it atm

    If I remember correctly the Werthers Chocolates and Baileys Chocolate sweets come in gold wrappers. My mother loves Baileys so probably put a few of them in.
  • ive put in some chocolate coins, a cadburys wishes, some werthers and a couple of Ferrero Rocher on top and a scratch card, then will wrap in cello with some gold ribbon and a bow and tag, these are from the kids to their grandparents

    I have still to make mine up, but the things i have bought are: werthers - toffee and fudge, gold biscuits, gold baubles, gold balloons, gold coins and some gold toffees from the pound shop! i will be wrapping them in sello of some description! is £2 ok to charge for this? i really don't know if they will sell, it seems quite random to me, but heres hoping!!

    I will be putting scratch cards in the ones for family, but I won't be including them in the ones for sale!

    What are you looking for??? Most of us have put whats listed above, like ferrero roche, gold coins, Elizabeth Shaw, etc........other than that there are not a lot of gold covered chocs. You could buy truffles, wrap in Cello and put in your gold pot?
