Attributes - I need to be able to select the same attribute more than once.

Hello,
I'm very new to this - and extremely out-of-date and rusty (a lot has changed since I used to use HTML for individual pages!).:ohmy:
I have had a sharp learning curve setting up a shop for my wife - and today I've realised setting attributes are just what I need - well almost.
The problem product is a box of chocolates.
I have set up "boxes" as a category from which one can select various styles of box with sizes for 6, 12, 24 chocolates.
I have now set up attributes to allow the purchaser to chose which chocolates they want in their box.
The problem I now have is: what if someone wants two (or a whole box of) champagne and strawberry truffles - as each attribute appears once with a checkbox.
I would like customers to be able to select multiples of the same attribute.
I will then need to check the total they select matches the size of box - 6, 12, 24.
Does anyone know if there are add-ons that could do this?

Latest version ZenCart downloaded from host site last week - one click (what a mistake, took ages to sort out whereabouts in the installation it had left me).
I have added Barebones template.

Thanks for reading
And THANKS for ZenCart!:smile:

THere's this, which seems to add quantity boxes to attributes: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=618

I haven't used it, and don't know if it works with Zencart version 1.5.0.
