One shopper was so excited they couldn't even hold off until advent, and ate all the choccies before December.
They wrote: "Well this didn't last to Christmas.
"What a good buy, the chocolate is first-class smooth and rich and full of flavour - which ever alcohol is infused I will definitely recommend and I'll be getting another one before they sell out."
Another shopper added: "Sleek design good price, nice adult gift."

A great way to save money this Christmas is by checking out these saver sights - as will cross checking supermarket prices before you buy.
Make sure to have your ID ready when purchasing these adult treats, as boozy chocolates are strictly for over 18-year-olds.
There also may be a delivery fee to keep an eye on when you shop online once you bag your bargain.
After advent season begins, supermarkets will be keen to sell off the remaining stock.
Often retailers will slash prices to tempt shoppers to grab these seasonal items, as they become a lot less popular after December.
For example, if you're looking for a great deal on a costume, waiting until just after Halloween is always a good bet.
Holding on until the festive period is over is always a great way to bag a bargain if you want to save your money for presents.

How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
