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

Christmas dinner
Halal/Kosher Devil’s on horseback
Christmas is not complete without Devil’s on horseback on the big day, and I came up with the idea of wrapping a beef sausage with vegetarian bacon for a family occasion, the taste is better than the original pork sausage wrapped with bacon. This is a must-try.
Mince pies!

Cheesy footballs! We always had them as a Christmas treat when I was little, and somehow Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without them.

love xmas cake
mince pies
Love mince pies, in fact we have them all year round. What gets me is, you can buy Easter eggs just after Christmas, Halloween stuff in August, Christmas cards in September, BUT you can’t buy mince-meat (for mince pies) at any time of the year as it’s classed as seasonal. Am I the only one that eats mince pies all year round, lol?
