Hotel Chocolat Christmas Goody Bag

November 27, 2013 · by munchiesandmunchkins · Leave a Comment

Do you know when you taste something so good that you think all other similar items will be ruined for you? That was how I felt when I bit into a treacle tart from my Hotel Chocolate Christmas Goody bag…woweeeeee.

I’m quite fussy with Chocolates and often I prefer a good old double decker to any kind of posh choc but when I had an email from Hotel Chocolat last week the day after giving birth the offer of some lovely treats was too hard to resist and I’m so glad I said yes. I’ve never tried Hotel Chocolat products before but I think there is little question that I will again.

I was sent this:

A Christmas Goody Bag

It contains:

Chocolate goodies specially selected for Christmas – bagged and bowed and ready for you to unwrap, including a 50% Cookie & Caramel Wreath, 6 Christmas Mess Chocolates, 6 Treacle Tart Chocolates and a trio of milk chocolate Santas.

My favourite so far is the Treacle Tart..it was like biting into silky chocolate heaven. Everything else is pretty delicious too and this would be such a lovely gift for someone special or you know you could just order one for yourself 😉

I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing this chocolate.. My only problem now is how do I go back to the normal stuff?

Pure Christmas indulgence for the Foodie in your life…

November 2, 2013 · by munchiesandmunchkins · 1 Comment

Buying Christmas gifts is hard. Really hard. After all when you are buying for someone important in your life you don’t want to go completely down the novelty, funny gift route but you also know that just because someone likes to spend time in the kitchen they don’t necessarily want a new kettle as a Chrismas present. For me the perfect gift is something I can use (or eat) that is also a little frivolous. Chrismas is a fun time and the smile on someone’s face as they open your gift is where most of the pleasure comes from.. For me anyway.

Now you will know from reading some of my posts that I can be fairly thrifty and frugal but I also appreciate a little indulgence and you don’t get much more indulgent than a Harvey Nichols Christmas Hamper – labelled as the ultimate luxury gastronomic gift I think it would be hard to find anyone who wouldn’t be satisfied with at least one of the options.

I have my eye on this one:

At a rather eye watering £1000 I can’t imagine it will be under my tree Christmas morning but hey a foodie can dream. With so many tasty treats inside as well as champagnes, Port and even a 1.6kg candle ( I’m obsessed with candles don’t you know?) it would give days(weeks even) of pleasure.

They aren’t all so expensive, prices start at around £37 and there are options for the wine lovers and beauty kings or queens in your life too.

I’ve had lots of fun trawling through the different hampers and deciding which one is my fave.

Remember if you get a decent wicker basket with your hamper, it can be for life not just for Christmas 😉 I’m thinking picnics in the sun.
