I don’t care if the lady loves milk tray, she’s not getting a box of chocks from me. Not with that plastic wrapping, plastic cover sheet and plastic sweet tray. Before you call me hard hearted there is a plastic free alternative.

Chocolates

There are shops out there selling British and Belgium chocolates loose.  You can buy a separate, cardboard box to put them in or you could make your own packaging.

Chocolate Bars

And there is always chocolate wrapped in foil and cardboard. Tescos do some wrapped in cardboard and foil. Original Beans who sell  their chocolate in certified compostable packaging. Expensive but plasticfree and delivered to your door

More

Homemade If handing some one a big slab of chocolate seems a bit blunt, you could tart it up by turning it into something else. Check out the marbled minty things made by Jen. Or these wonderful truffles.  Find them here. They also make a great Mother’s Day gift.

Sweets

If the loose chocolates are too expensive you can buy other kinds of sweets from jars – for mothers day my  mum got two ounces of liquorice torpedo’s in a paper bag from Queensgate Market. Huddersfield.
Tescos and Ikea have a pick and mix stand where you can get chocolate beans ( smarties), and other sweets unwrapped and loose.
Every time I have been to any of the above, they have had paper bags but you may want to take your own plastic-free bag to be sure. Crisps Its now possible to buy crisps in home compostable packaging! Find them here! Other Snacks And fruit jerky also in home compostable packaging.

N.B.
