Askinosie Peppermint Bark

I can’t find much information about peppermint bark.  As a Canadian, we don’t have as much of a history of peppermint bark as it seems Americans seem to have.  I don’t remember having it around much growing up but I ...

Hotel Chocolat Mince Pies

I’m not really the world’s biggest mince pie fan. Firstly, only Aldi’s mince pies are any good when looking at store bought (and I’m not along in thinking so – check Which’s top pics). So store bought are mostly out.  ...

Hotel Chocolat Dark Chocolate Advent Calendar

I’ve finally figured this all out.  I’ve wondered for awhile at the insanity of the whole 24 thing with these advent things and I’ve finally sussed it I figure – this is not a one chocolate a day thing – ...

Demarquette Festive Chocolate Collection

Hope & Greenwood Festive Christmas Truffles

Oh I say chaps! These choccies from those right proper ol’ boys and girls at that Hope & Greenwood place are spiffing! I’m in love with the overall branding of Hope & Greenwood. I love the retro feel of the branding, ...

Hope & Greenwood Fireside Truffle Selection

I think that this box may suffer slightly from being invisible.  What I mean is that you cannot see the lovely inside of the box.  The beautiful truffles are illustrated on the back but unlike other boxes of chocolates that ...

Carluccio’s Chocolate Coated Bread Sticks Review

Now, when I went to Carluccio’s to buy some goodies for Christmas I decided to try some new things and one of the new chocolate things was the chocolate coated breadsticks I found. These chocolate covered breadsticks were a bit pricy ...
