I am a big chocolate fan, that’s no secret. Every year I stare at the kids with barely disguised jealousy as they open their chocolate advent calendars every December morning, while I have to make to with a cup of tea and leftover toast crusts. Well not this year! This year the lovely people at Hotel Chocolat have heard of the plight of the busy mum, and have sent me one of their dark chocolate advent calendars to try out.
Now, it’s not Christmas quite yet and I don’t want to spoil the surprise, so I won’t tell you too much about it – but in essence you get 24 fabulous dark chocolate sculptures (you can choose a milk or white chocolate version if you prefer) including snowmen, penguins, reindeer and Christmas trees. The chocolate itself is smooth and creamy, and the pieces are just the right size for a sweet treat.
Hotel Chocolat have a great Christmas range which work well as gifts too – who wouldn’t want a chocolate treat under the tree? I have teamed up with them to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a Christmas goody bag containing:
Cookie Wreath studded with Florentines and biscuits; Coconut Snowballs; Billionaire’s Shortbread; Comet Does Caramel slab and a Christmas Duo of Nutmeg Praline and Christmas Mess. Worth £18, this would be an ideal present for someone special – or you could just wrap it up for yourself….. the choice is yours!
Terms and conditions. Giveaway is open to UK residents and closes on 26/11/15. Winner will be randomly selected from all correctly completed entries and contacted by email. Winner should claim their prize within 10 days or it will be redrawn to allow for Christmas delivery. Competitions at ThePrizeFinder

My favourite foodie treat at Christmas is a tie between homemade mince pies with thick fresh cream preferably laced with baileys or cold cuts. I love the cold turkey and hams on Boxing Day.
