Christmas Joy

I buy my daughter a Luxury Advent box of chocolates from Harry Specters every year. She is in England, I am in Australia. I know she always enjoys her daily treat. Ordering is easy, and the parcel is safely delivered in a timely fashion.

Wonderful Advent Calendar

I found Harry Specters when looking for 3 advent calendars with some good chocolates. When I read the story of the company and the help to autistic people it was and easy choice to make. Since the start of December the recipients of the Advent Calendars have been informing me daily of the super quality and lovely flavourings of the chocolates. So, a big thank you to the Harry Specters team. And because of the overwhelming positive comments from my family I have just taken delivery of the Signature Collection Box of Chocolates so I can try some for myself - although i think there will be lots of willing takers in the house!
Thanks again.

Fabulous every day

Last year I didn't order one of these in time so this year I made sure I did! It's a fabulous looking box, really sumptuous and I love that each door details what the chocolate is, that's a lovely touch. Of course the chocolates are up to the same usual standard (yes, only three days in but I just know they're all going to be gorgeous), with delicate flavours and stunning designs. The chocolates are superb, the cause is great and it's a lovely daily treat to look forward to!

Incredible Chocolates For a Phenomenal Cause

I was recommended Harry Specters by a friend and I am so glad for it! This is a beautiful advent calendar, and the care and skill with which it is made is evident in every aspect of the product. The calendar itself arrived in a very timely manner and in excellent condition! Included with my order was a whole bunch of information about the wonderful work that Harry Specters has done to provide support and opportunities for people with ASD.

Two days into the calendar and these are the best chocolates I have ever had! They are absolutely delicious, but also incredibly beautiful in their designs.

Astonishingly good chocolates that are made with quality, ethically sourced ingredients and that go towards providing for a great cause and a wonderful community. Definitely going to have a happy Holiday season with this advent calendar.
