FANS of Quality Street will soon be able to buy a tin filled with only their favourite variety.
Shoppers can choose a “pick and don’t mix” option and go home with a tin crammed with one flavour.

It could mean selecting all hazelnut noisettes in a green triangle wrapper, for example, or chocolate toffee fingers in golden foil or orange cremes.
A new flavour will also be on offer to make 13 in all — a milk chocolate crispy truffle bite with a praline and cereal centre.
John Lewis is offering the pick and mix service. It launched last year but shoppers had to select at least three different sweets. Gift food buyer Rachel Costello said: “This year we’ve gone even bigger with an exclusive sweet.
“In addition, for the first time, customers can choose to ‘pick and don’t mix’ to ensure there are no chocolates left languishing at the bottom of a tin!”

Shoppers can personalise their tin by replacing the word “Quality” with a surname or real address such as Jones Street. The cost is £15.
Picking your favourites in a John Lewis tin is £12 and refilling a tin from last year with pick and mix is £10. A normal Quality Street tin with latest mixed sweets is £7.50
Seventeen stores offer the service including Bluewater in Kent, Cambridge, Cardiff, Milton Keynes, Liverpool, Newcastle, Nottingham, Oxford, London’s Oxford Street, Southampton and Manchester’s Trafford Centre.
