Galaxy Milk Chocolate Christmas Collection Box, 244g

Product Information

Liz O'Hanlon runs a plastic-free refilling centre, she believes that although some companies are trying to make the move away from plastic, it could just be a way of tapping into another market to make profit. The KitKat for example comes in paper and foil, so why aren't all the other chocolate bars going in paper and foil like they used to be? There were two varieties of this box at Wilko but I opted for the classic all milk chocolate box – both look the same in terms of the cardboard exterior. New for 2022 are M&M’s Santas, which are playful hollow chocolates filled with mini- M&M’s and wrapped in colourful foil; Maltesers Mint Reindeers, which come in both 29g self-eat bars and 59g sharing bags; and Galaxy Truffles Assortment as well as Maltesers Assorted Truffles.

There were two varieties of this box at Wilko but I opted for the classic all milk chocolate box - both look the same in terms of the cardboard exterior. The exterior box is cardboard but what makes this stand out is the removal of the inside tray entirely - it simply has a perforated edge to open the box. This box is definitely worth the money in terms of product, with two big bars of Lindt chocolate, two truffle bars and a big selection of the original luxury chocolate truffles.Mars Wrigley’s gifting portfolio includes consumer favourite brands in a range of formats, with the boxed range offering a simple gifting solution to all shoppers.

Maltesers selection box, 73g The tray inside is cardboard and many of the wrappings are paper or foil. However, the two truffle bars and spherical truffles are individually wrapped in plastic which perhaps could've been changed or reduced to make this box a winner.

So for example, if some of the large organisations started offering refills, which I think would be brilliant - is it genuinely possible for them to be able to do that with a supply chain which is ethical and genuine?
