boxed confectionery
I think it is called boxed confectionery
Boxed chocolates are the most common, but there are other kinds, e.g. toffee based.
They are arranged on a tray in the box.
There used to be posh jelly sweets with liquid centres when I was a child, with a delicious sugary crunch, but rather sickly flavours as I remember. (Don't google them: I just got a virus alarm when I did!)

This link also mentions "twist wrap assortments" - which also come in boxes, but are simply loose in the box.

Just a guess, but this is what we called a box with a range of different sweets, chocolates etc. in it when I was a child..
