Seed and Bean Cornish Cream Caramel Milk Chocolate Bar Review

Ah Cornwall and Cornish cream – or more specifically – Cornish clotted cream.  I cannot count the number of times clotted cream from Cornwall has been a proud incredient in fudge or chocolate or toffee or whatever.  It seems those ...

Seed and Bean Rich Milk Chocolate Bar Review

I am a milk chocolate fan.  I love the really high quality milk chocolate.  In fact, Hotel Chocolat has a delightful slightly darker milk chocolate.  Cocoa solids (37% here) don’t determine a good dark or milk chocolate but it is ...

Rococo Caramelised Almonds in Dark Chocolate Bar Review

There is something special for me about a bar of chocolate with almonds. There is something lovely in the melting chocolate and crunchy nut that just speaks to something deep within me – something visceral. Maybe when I was particularly ...

Rococo Earl Grey Tea Dark Chocolate Bar Review

Earl Grey Tea is one of those iconic British things. While just black tea with bergamot really, it still evokes images of tea cups with saucers, afternoon tea and ever so posh behaviour. Earl Grey is one of ...
