Chocolate at it's best!

Thorntons are an established choclatiers who I think are based in Belper Derbyshire.They have lots of shops in Sheffield and they sell specialist chocolates which are very rich in flavour. You can buy gift boxes (or have them wrapped for a fee) or buy some chocolates by weight. 'Continentals' are one of their famous brands.They are usually very busy at Christmas, Valentines, and especially Easter. At Easter you can have the name of your recipient iced onto the egg, or these days you can have a chocolate plaque iced too.They now sell their own brand of ice cream with fingers of fudge, this is really good quality ice cream with loads of flavours to choose from, my favourite is rum n raisin.The shops are always well laid out but prepare to queue at busy times.The chocolate fountain is a new idea where you can buy a 'shot' of chocolate for £1.50, Yum!Thorntons are also available through some supermarkets, ie. Tescos.
