Tony's Chocolonely has recently toured the UK and has just launched its first advent calendar. It reminded me that I had bought a bar earlier in the year and squirrelled it away to review at a later date. That time...
Nothing beats the excitement of a random knock at the door, and a mystery box sat on the doorstep. It feels a bit like Christmas. Now, imagine this but safe in the knowledge that the box is filled with a...

In 1919, he opened Betty's Tea Room in the Yorkshire town which has since become an institution. The company still makes and sells a wide range of chocolates using the finest Swiss Grand Cru.
