I presume that you uttered a few profanities at the ever decreasing size of the box. Still, it'll be a lot quicker to count than if you'd done it 10 years ago...

Here's me guess

Milk Choc Block ... 6
Fudge ... 6
Caramel Swirl ... 5
The Purple One ... 4
Toffee Finger ... 6
Toffee Penny ... 4
Orange Chocolate Crunch ...5
Strawberry Delight ... 5
Orange Creme ...5
Green Triangle ... 4
Coconut Eclair ...5

Total number of sweets ...55

Should you be unable to resist the temptation of testing the quality of your one of your Quality Street favourites before Boxing Day, simply eat one and return the empty wrapper to the tub as evidence to be counted later.

Who knows with a little bit of Christmas Magic the RECYCLABLE PAPER may recycle back into a complete choccy.
