THERE is nothing quite like digging into a delicious box of chocolates around the festive season.
This is the time when you can enjoy indulgent chocolates guilt-free but it’s also the best time for nabbing chocolate bargains.

If your family are Cabdury fans then take note, the chocolatiers have released a medium Christmas selection box this year which features 145g of Cadbury classics like Cadbury Crunchie, Cadbury fudge and shareable Dairy Milk buttons.
We’ve scoured the shelves for the best price for the Cadbury Christmas selection box this week and you might be surprised which store came out on top.
The cheapest place to bag these chocolates isn’t even a supermarket, the selection box has been spotted on shelves in B&M for just £1.20.
The bargain was shared in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook.

A sign was spotted in B&M which said the price had been reduced from £1.89 to just £1.20.
The budget store also said it would be restricting the product to 10 per customer.
Morrison’s follow swiftly behind in second place with a £1.35 deal on the selection box.
This deal was originally supposed to end last week on November 19 but has now been extended so shoppers will need to nab the selection box before December 3.

Surprisingly Aldi ranks third on the list with the same selection box priced at £1.49, 29p more than the deal in B&M.
Tesco has the next best deal with the selection box priced at £1.50 but only if you have a Clubcard.
Without a Clubcard, you will need to pay 50p more for the chocolates. You’ll have to be quick if you want this deal as well because it expires just before Christmas on December 23.
If you are looking to get the Tesco deal online you will need to order the selection box before Boxing Day, December 28.
Bear in mind you may need to pay for delivery as well depending on the size of your order. It may be cheaper to throw this deal in with your weekly shop.
Asda is next with the cheapest deal, also losing to Aldi by just 1p. It’s got the selection box for £1.50 instead of its retail price of £1.75.
Sainsbury’s has slotted itself into sixth place with the next-best deal. The supermarket is selling the selection box for £1.75 but only if you have a Nectar card.
Without a Nectar card, you will need to pay a whopping £2.50 for the chocolates.
Iceland is next up with the Cadbury selection box priced at £2.
Ocado has the selection box for a whopping £2.50 so that is the last place you should head to if you want to save money.
However, the price is expected to go up to a staggering £3 by 28 November, more than double the B&M price.
In total, the selection box carries a Cadbury Fudge, a Cadbury Crunchie, a Cadbury Wispa, a Cadbury Double Decker, a Cadbury Dairy Milk Little Bar and Cadbury Dairy Milk Treatsize Buttons.
Bear in mind prices can vary from one day to the next and items can go on a deal at any point, especially during the festive season.
Note that some supermarkets charge extra for delivery, it may be cheaper to include the selection box in your weekly shop or to pick them up in-store.
