Hotel Chocolat Review & Giveaway
( pronounced shok-o-LA)
The kids have been getting an advent calendar every year since they were young. Usually inexpensive but nonetheless a fun little gift to help count down the days until Christmas. This year, I received three items to sample from Hotel Chocolat.
First, the delicious dark chocolate advent calender (similar to the photo below). Besides the health benefits of dark chocolates, the quality and taste of the cocoa is superb.
Hotel Chocolat Advent Calendars
I really liked the way these were done. After you pop them out, you can read the greetings on the front. Very ornate and detailed pieces. Not to mention delicious! The box design was very elegant. With the one I received, I could picture gifting it to co-workers and friends. Not to mention, they have ones for the kids as well, see the link above. Get them in time for the 12/1 countdown!
Tiddly Reindeer Chocolates
Second were Santa’s helpers. These are adorable and delicious. Great stock stuffer. A dark chocolate a day keeps the doctor away! That is how that goes right?!!
Tiddly Santa Chocolates
Third on the list was these little guys. Caramel and chocolate jolly Santas, I have to say, these were delicious. Next time, I am coveting these little ones to myself.
