April Chocolate Competition With Hotel Chocolat Ends 08/05

So it will be Easter soon. Spring is a great time of year usually, but with world events, everything is quite depressing at the moment.  I don't know about you but I think we could all do with some cheering up and some nice weather. The world is such a sad place at the moment. So carrying on from the success of my recent competitions I am giving away another scrumptious box of chocolates this month.





For April I am giving away a box of Hotel Chocolat chocolates. It will be one of the Everything H boxes, which they produce at least 6 versions of.

Hotel Chocolat is a luxury ethical chocolate brand that I have been a fan of for a while now. They are especially fantastic as they help support cocoa farmers and their communities in Saint Lucia and Ghana.

Hotel Chocolat base the brand on three main ingredients, Innovation, Authenticity and Ethics. Their chocolate has an authentic taste of "less sugar more cocoa". It's great that they also base their business on a strong ethical stance and over the last 8 years have invested in the cocoa communities in Saint Lucia and Ghana. They are a rare breed - a chocolatier that actually grows their own cocoa beans and looks after their suppliers.

Virginia Hayward 'Love Chocolate' Hamper Review and Giveaway Ends 30/09

We all love a hamper, don't we? The mix of tasty goodies is always a treat and makes a great gift, so when Virginia Hayward, the hamper company invited me to try one of their hampers, I could hardly say no.

The Love Chocolate box retails at £19.99 and contains a tempting selection of chocolate goodies.




Presented in a useful wicker basket the small but perfectly formed selection includes:-

A bag of Radfords chocolate & caramel fudge, 
Vital soft chocolate nougat, 
Atkins and Potts decadent milk chocolate dipper pot, 
Reids crunchy chocolate chunky shortbread,
A yummy looking mini chocolate cake by the Original Cake Company hand-topped with chocolate buttons and chocolate pieces,
A delectable hot drinking chocolate spoon with pieces of mini marshmallows.

My son Jake and I tried the products. I hadn't heard of these brands before so I wasn't sure what to expect but I felt they were good quality and really tasty. 

The chocolate nougat was similar to fudge. It had a really good chocolate flavour and was studded with almonds which added some nice crunch. 




My favourite was the shortbread, it was buttery and rich and the inclusion of chocolate chips was a nice touch, although there could have been more of them.



They were also great dunked in tea!



Yum!



My son was eyeing up the Belgian chocolate sauce from the company Scarlett and Mustard and was quite happy eating it out of the jar. I think it would be great warm with ice cream personally, but I didn't get a look in here to try it as he polished it off.

Again I didn't get a look in with the chocolate and caramel fudge. Jake really enjoyed it, and the piece of fudge I managed to steal from him was excellent. The caramel fudge had a good sweet caramel flavour and the chocolate fudge was decadent and rich.

Next item to try was the mini chocolate cake. What we all liked about the cake was the chocolate chips and chocolate pieces on top, a mix of white and milk chocolate, that had some crunchy pieces as well as smooth. The cake was light as well.




The last item in the Love Chocolate hamper from Virginia Hayward was the hot chocolate spoon with marshmallows. Although we haven't tried it yet, it looks like a lovely treat. You stir it into hot milk and watch as the chocolate melts and makes a hot chocolate drink.

All of these items were presented in a wicker basket which I thought was a nice touch, and perfect as a gift for a loved one. The hamper was also packed in environmental packaging, the basket was made of willow, the paper is recycled, the outer box recycled too and the loose fill is 100% biodegradable. Well done, this is so important in this day and age. 

For £19.99 I think this is a welcome gift that doesn't break the bank and most chocolate lovers will really enjoy tucking in to this hamper too. Check out the other chocolate hampers available from Virginia Hayward too. 

Today on my blog I am giving my lovely readers the chance to win a scrummy 'Love Chocolate' hamper. Entry is easy via the Gleam app below. Why don't you bookmark the page and come back for a daily entry? Whilst you are here check out my other competitions too. Good luck!

Hotel Chocolat Tasting Box Competition Ends 12/11

Hotel Chocolat, the luxury chocolate company makes the perfect chocolates which make excellent gifts but did you know that they also have a tasting club? No? Well, let me tell you all about it here.

The chocolate subscription club is a service that means once a month you get a special edition box of delicious chocolates delivered to your door. What's especially cool is that you are given a chance to rate the chocolates and influence future selections through your scores as well as getting the chance to taste experimental chocolates before they hit the shelves.

So I was given a box to try. The chocolates were delicious as always. I have to admit I am a big fan of this chocolate brand so it's hard to be objective! My favourites were the raspberry pannacotta, with lush fresh raspberry flavours, and the peach and jasmine, a sweet delightful and fruity centre enrobed in white chocolate.



In fact, all the chocolates were delightful and really high quality, you could tell by the taste. That's because they use best cocoa powder in the chocolates, cocoa powder from cocoa farmers they support in St Lucia.



I also like the mix of white, milk and dark chocolates in the box, a little something for everyone really. Every month, the box is unique and especially chosen by their in-house chocolatiers, and every month they create new and delectable chocolates for their customers to try.


If you sign up, your first box will be delivered to your door within 5 days and at the moment your first box is only £9.99 with a bag of free chocolate 'gemstones' too. A great deal I think you will admit.

Today on my blog I am giving you a chance to win a one-month tasting box of from Hotel Chocolat worth £22.99.  Entry is easy via the Gleam app below. While you are here don't forget to check out the other competitions I have running too. Good luck!

Chocolate Hamper Review And Gift Bag Giveaway With Montezuma Ends 15/10

There is something about chocolate, the look of it, the smell of it, the taste of it, and Montezuma makes some of the best chocolate around. This innovative British brand was started in 2000 by Helen and Simon Pattinson after a trip to South America where they were sold on the idea of starting a chocolate company. Being lawyers it was a steep learning curve but they had a real passion for creating amazing flavours and thus Montezuma was born.


Fast forward to 2017 and Montezuma's is a hugely successful chocolate business firmly rooted in ethics. Fair trade chocolate is at its heart and ethical sustainable business growth.

The chocolates are all made with love. The Great British Pudding Union hamper is presented in a box all in recyclable material and topped with a bow. 



Inside is a plethora of scrumptious chocolate all based on puddings like apple crumble, treacle tart, spotted dick, Eton mess and black forest gateaux. Now for someone like me who loves desserts you can't really get a more fantastic hamper.

One of the highlights for me was the Great British Puddings truffles. Containing Apple Crumble truffles, Eton Mess, Black Forest and Lemon Meringue. Now these may seem like strong flavours to have in truffles but they have a more delicate flavour than I was expecting and I thought they complimented a cup of coffee perfectly. 



The bars of chocolate were wrapped well in foil wrapping to keep the freshness and flavour.



I loved the M monogram, the mark of the Montezuma chocolate bar, and before too long I was tucking into the apple crumble bar.

I really enjoyed this bar, it tasted subtly of apple and had a slight crunch having biscuit pieces woven into the chocolate. Next, I tried the treacle tart which was sweet, smooth and rich. By this time I was all chocolated out but I am looking forward to sharing the Eton Mess bar with my son, as it sounds exactly the type of chocolate he would like with strawberry and crunchy meringue, a sweet tooth's delight.

If you like luxury chocolate you will definitely like Montezuma's chocolates. With items priced from £2, the chocolate compares favourably with other luxury chocolate brands and the hampers make a great birthday or Christmas present.

Today on my blog I am giving away a Half Pint Milk Chocolate gift bag to one of my lucky readers. The Half Pint gift bag contains a selection of mouth-watering chocolates including giant chocolate buttons and bars of mint and orange chocolate as well as scrumptious truffles.

All you have to do is enter the competition below. The competition is open to those from the UK who are 18 or older. 

While you are here don't forget to check out the other competitions I have running too, to win £100 in cash, a Von Shef food processor and a jewellery voucher from Gemondo. Good luck!

Win Hotel Chocolat Mother Day Sleekster Ends 16/03

This luxury chocolate company produce some of the best chocolate out there, the flavours are inspired and they also help support cocoa growing communities in St Lucia and Ghana. 

Receiving a box of chocolates from Hotel Chocolat is always a treat, the packaging is always beautiful, the tissue paper and bags are gorgeous and when ordering online you even get a little gift card. It's these small touches that really make a present. 

When choosing chocolates in my local shop in Cardiff, I find it so hard to decide. Do I buy one of the thick delicious slabs, encrusted with cookies, shortcake or brownies or do I go for a selection of little dessert chocolates known as the Patisserie chocolates? Decisions decisions!

Now for Mother's Day, the selection this year is immense. Some of my favourites are below.
The Mother's Day Sleekster £22.50


The Mother's Day H Box £12.50
The Mother's Day pocket selection £8

Today I am teaming up with Hotel Chocolat to give away a Mother's Day Sleekster worth £22.50. To enter I want to know your favourite mum moment. It can be a funny moment, it can be a sentimental moment, it can be a touching moment, it can be an embarrassing moment, it can be something that sums up your mum and all she does for you.  One of those moments where you go, 'That's my mum!'. It can be a moment that you have had being a mum.

My proudest moment as a mum was when my son Jake was 16 and he was awarded a trophy in school for the highest score at art at GCSE. My mum moment was the moment that tears started streaming down my face when he went up on stage to collect his award. I was so so proud.



Me and Jake my darling boy

I was even prouder because when he was a little boy I was told by the teacher in nursery teacher that he would never attend mainstream education. The reason? He was very active, didn't talk a lot, and had some speech difficulties, he would shout out on the carpet and not put his hand up. He would get frustrated easily as he couldn't verbalise his thoughts. I immediately thought that was ridiculous! I knew he was a bright boy, after all, he could do a puzzle in no time, his art was amazing, he was showing his intelligence in so many other ways.

So I took him out of the nursery and put him in a playgroup that was much less structured. There he thrived and over time his speech and behaviour improved. 

He went to a normal primary school and at 16 received 9 GCSES and IT qualifications and at 18 we were all over the moon when he was awarded 3 A levels with an A grade in art. He is now studying visual effects at university and wants to work on big Hollywood films. He makes me so proud, I'm actually welling up here!

Anyway, to enter this competition tell me your mum moment, as I said it can be funny, sentimental or anything in between, and remember go with your mum instincts, your child can do so much more than sometimes people give them credit for. Good luck!
