WIN a Luxury Hotel Chocolat 'Truffles To Share' Advent Calendar
Last week I was sent this A-mazing Hotel Chocolat Truffles to Share Advent Calendar to review. I know - I have the worst job don't I?! Obviously the arrival of said advent calendar left me in a bit of a quandary, you see I've always been told from a very early age that you must NEVER open door number '1' until the 1st December. But this is a review - what's a girl to do? Obviously I waited patiently for a good few hours but December never came. This meant that I had to crack the calendar open 2 weeks early - poor me : (
With two luscious truffles behind each window, there’ll be no bickering, just harmonious sharing and a blissful run up to Christmas.
Hmmmm... a blissful run up to Christmas? I'm not quite sure we'll manage that even with this lovely calendar! Anyway, so as they said, each calendar door has 2 truffles behind it. This is perfect for our house as Chris and I always 'share' an advent calendar and he usually gets slightly peeved when I eat 99% of the chocolates. Truffles to Share means that we both get a truffle each this Christmas... ok well it doesn't because I have ate 'my' truffle from the first 6 windows - just to taste all the different flavours!
The 6 flavours are:
Gingerbread Truffle - yum!
Salted Soft Caramel - my favourite of them all!
Mulled Wine - *hic*
Cinnamon Praline - not to my taste *runs off to swap all the cinnamon ones with Chris delicious caramel ones*
Milk Praline - delicious!
Simple Dark Truffle - scrumptious!
It really is THE greatest advent calendar I have ever had the pleasure to gorge on *wipes chocolate from mouth* and guess what - now it's time for you to get your hands on one too!
*WIN*
All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is tell me what you do when you get to door 24, Yes, I want to know how you spend your Christmas Eve - just because I'm nosey like that!

Review: Hotel Chocolat Easter Eggs
So Easter is almost upon us again - there'll be eggs all over the house, kids running riot on a sugar rush. Last year it took us months to get through the chocolate backlog of eggs that Mister A acquired! Don't get me wrong, I do love a good Easter egg but they're for the kids really - I shouldn't indulge but I do. I always feel guilty for eating stealing an egg from Mister A but no one ever treats me to an egg anymore... until now.
Last week I was sent THE most AMAZING 'grown up' Easter Egg I have ever seen - the Rocky Road Caramel Egg from Hotel Chocolat.
About the Rocky Road Caramel Egg
The egg comes in a luxurious box with a ribbon around the outside. I carefully slid the egg out of the box to reveal 2 individually wrapped halves. Each half was filled with a yummy variety of individual chocolates (10 in total) that come with their own menu. One half has a thick cookie-textured milk shell and the other is layered in smooth caramel chocolate.
What's the verdict?
What's the verdict?
I can not even begin to describe the deliciousness of this egg - I tried to just eat little bits at a time 'cause chocolates good in moderation - right? Wrong - chocolate is even better when you eat it all in one go NOM NOM NOM.
My favorite was the cookie side of the shell, I loved the crumbly cookie bits encased in the thick milk chocolate. Chocolate Heaven.
I did share a little bit with Chris, but he enjoyed it far too much for me to leave it unattended so I hid the egg and ate the rest of it myself!
So there you have it, it's amazing, I devoured it in a day. If you've got someone special in your life and you want them to be massively in love with you over the Easter period then look no further than the Hotel Chocolat Easter Gifts page. You'll be in the good books 'til Christmas - I guarantee it!
