Hotel Chocolat Tasting Club Offer

Snickers is the best selling chocolate bar of all time with annual sales around the world of £1 billion …that’s a lot of chocolate and peanuts!

Apparently the marathon name has been re-registered as a UK trademark and the company is to use the original name for a three month trial. I never did care much for the snickers name but how about you, what do you prefer?

Move Over Snickers - Marathon Is Back

Well, in a latest twist in the tail The Telegraph reports that Willies success has attracted the attention of Hugo Chavez - President of Venezuela. Chavez has reportedly demanded an investigation into the activities of our Willie. There are accusations that he is not paying the appropriate prices for his cacao. And as nationalisations have become common-place under the ruling Chavez, Willies activities are now under the microscope.

I wonder what will happen? What are your thoughts?

In the UK you can buy the product at Whole Foods Market - looks like an American company to me.

Oorain Chocolate Sweetened With Maple Sugar

Well, if you do love anyone enough to give them your last Rolo then you might be generous enough to treat them to a Rolo that is made of gold rather than chocolate.

This exquisite Last Rolo range is manufactured under licence by C.W.Sellors Ltd. and anyone of these precious Rolos would make a perfect gift and keepsake.

ROLO is a trade mark of Société des Produits Nestlé S.A.

My Last Rolo

This listed, 19th century Italianate villa now hosts chocolate making weekends and cookery schools. On the last weekend of each month you could learn how to cook with chocolate with chocolatier Allan Collier, formerly patisserie chef at The Ritz.

Allan was pictured in a Telegraph article about the hotel and the chocolate wearing a Nisbets tunic - a retailer we partner with over on our chef uniforms site. Mr Collier (or one of his trainees) will show how to make a ganache (creame poured over chopped, dark chocolate) and how to make fillings for moulded chocolates.

Has anybody been or booked to go ?

Green and Blacks Recall

I enjoy these better than a standard size Creme Egg - must have something to do with the fact that you can eat a few of the mini ones but I’d never dream of eating more than one normal size one in one go! Think you get about 7 in a packet. Inside they’re the same as Daddy Creme Egg:

Sorry about the focus being out on that photo - must have overdone it on the chocolate!

How about you. Standard or mini egg?

Cadbury Creme Eggs - Mini

As the shells were nice and thick these chocolates had quite a chunky feel to them. Although they were organic I wouldn’t say that I could tell at all. Would certainly try again!

Anyone else tried them - what did you think?
