Choose a dedicated white-chocolate truffle box when the gift is specifically for someone who wants white chocolate; Waitrose describes the 200 g Lindt LINDOR box as containing approximately 16 truffles. A mixed box makes more sense when guests want milk, dark and white chocolates, while a blonde chocolate box is a different choice built around caramelised white chocolate and added flavours. Check the current pack’s ingredients and allergen statements before serving.
If the recipient wants white chocolate throughout the box, look for a dedicated selection rather than an assortment. The Lindt LINDOR white-truffle box is 200 g; Waitrose describes it as containing approximately 16 truffles.
A milk, dark and white selection gives guests a choice of chocolate types. The M&S selections are mixed boxes, not white-chocolate-only gifts.
Compare the current label with each guest’s requirements. The Lindt white-truffle box lists milk, lactose and soya and carries a may-contain warning for hazelnuts and other nuts; allergen information differs between boxes.
Decide whether the box should contain only white chocolate, then check its ingredients and the amount you intend to serve.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Chocolate type | Check whether every piece is white chocolate, whether white pieces sit alongside milk and dark ones, or whether the box uses caramelised white chocolate with other flavours. | I’m giving this to someone who specifically likes white chocolate, so a mixed box would not make the same gift. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the exact pack’s ingredient list and precautionary statements. Lindt lists milk, lactose and soya in its white truffles and warns that they may contain hazelnuts and other nuts; an M&S mixed-box listing states that its selection is unsuitable for people with coeliac disease and specified allergies. | If a guest has an allergy or other ingredient restriction, I need to check the current box before putting it on the breakfast table. |
| Amount to serve | Compare the box weight and any stated piece count with the number of guests. Waitrose describes the 200 g Lindt white-truffle box as containing approximately 16 pieces. | For a small sweet course after breakfast, I’d rather plan from a stated piece count than assume every box contains the same amount. |
M&S mixed selections also contain milk and dark chocolates, while the Waitrose No.1 blonde box combines caramelised white chocolate with other flavours. Neither is the same choice as a dedicated white-truffle box.
Read the assortment description to see whether white chocolate is the whole box, one type among several, or part of a flavoured recipe.
The Lindt white-truffle box carries a may-contain warning for hazelnuts and other nuts. Lindt also says that none of its products is guaranteed nut-allergen-safe.
For a guest with a relevant allergy, check both the ingredients and precautionary statement on the current pack rather than relying on the box’s flavour name.

Do not assume they are suitable. Lindt lists milk and lactose in the white-truffle box, alongside soya, and warns that it may contain hazelnuts and other nuts. Lindt also says none of its products is guaranteed nut-allergen-safe; check the current pack against the guest’s requirements.
