Butlers Chocolates, Better than Thornton's?

Butlers Chocolates is a company specializing in luxury chocolate gifts made from high quality ingredients. Their products have also won awards in international dessert competitions, and they are described as Irish luxury chocolates. The company has been in business since 1932 and has an established tradition of hand-crafting fine chocolates. Their chocolate gift boxes are also noted for their attractive presentation and high-end materials. Buyers also have the options of selecting from different gift box sizes and colors. Many people who try Butlers chocolate for the first time soon count it among their favorite brands for fine quality chocolate gifts.

This chocolate manufacturer focuses on boutique style gifts that are found in higher-end specialty stores rather than the local discount mart. Many of these luxury chocolates also come with higher price tags, so most shoppers consider them a treat to be purchased only a couple of times per year. Butlers is an exception in this area because many of their products are mid-priced. Many of their products start at around the $15 to $30 range and go up from there. Butlers' line of solid chocolate bars come with specialty filling flavors such as whiskey truffle, orange almond, and Irish creme truffle. Some of their chocolate pieces do not have the precise detailing and perfect molding as other brands, but the taste makes up for any of these very small manufacturing defects.

Just as with other comparable brands of gift box chocolates, Butlers offers a variety of candies in one box meant for sharing with other people. Many people select these kinds of chocolate gift boxes for passing around at parties and other gatherings. Favorite chocolate flavors in these assortments include white butter praline, hazelnut log, and walnut ganache. They are especially popular gifts for holidays such as Christmas and St. Valentines Day.

For buyers who have trouble locating Butlers Chocolates in traditional brick and mortar stores, the company also has a secure online store for quick and convenient ordering at home. Orders of chocolate gift boxes usually ship in a short time frame, though many buyers find it a good idea to place orders early during the busiest times of the year such as Christmas. In addition to chocolate boxes, Butlers also has a good selection of fudge, toffee, hot chocolate mixes, and truffle cubes. Special orders for weddings and corporate events are additional package options. The company has special discounts for larger bulk orders of these products. Just as with the rest of Butlers Chocolates' products, each chocolate is hand-crafted according to the Butler tradition.
