http://www.homebargains.co.uk/products/5691-cadbury-milk-tray-case-of-6-x-400g-boxes.aspx
£3.75 instore at tesco.
So 3 boxes for a tenner sounds good :)

EDIT: out of interest
cheapest : Milk Tray chocs £1.75/100g (or £0.83/100g if you buy 3 boxes for £10)
mid-price : Thorntons £3.27/100g (or £1.56/100g if you buy 3 boxes for £10)
top price : Hotel Chocolat (typical) £5.79/100g
If I knew anything about retail I'd start a chocolate chain up charging about £4/100g. Anybody know how much decent Belgian chocs are wholesale?
Answering my own question I see this lot http://www.wholesalechocolates.co.uk/ sell chocolates for about £1.18/100g (assuming I buy 20kilos!). That seems quite cheap. If I sold these as posh chocs at £4/100g would the difference of £2.82/100g pay my overheads and make any profit!?

Probably not much profit. Your variable costs are already 25% of the sale price, before you add the cost of design, packaging, related staff costs, potential wastage, advertising etc etc. Unless you're the size of cadbury, It is a flawed plan. Selling them as artisan chocolates from a quaint little high street shop might work!
