Where do you source your chocolates??

We like to stock a small selection of boxes of chocolates - nothing too big, but reasonable quality - and are having problems sourcing new supplies.

To start off with we were buying from Costco and Makro, but recently the choices there have been very poor (not to mention the out of date Lindt ones Makro were trying to sell )

So, if you sell chocs, where do you get them?

I vaguely recall someone on here saying they were a combined florist/confectioners - fancy supplying your wares to us other non-chocolate making florists?

Thanks
