Back in November, I stumbled across a packet of McVitie’s Gingerbread Milk Chocolate Digestive Biscuits. These were launched by McVitie's alongside a Christmas Pudding variation, but my local Coop didn't stock the latter product line. Fast forward a month and...
The ongoing pandemic means I still haven't stepped foot inside Lindt's Kilchberg-based Home of Chocolate tourist attraction yet. So, if I can't get to Switzerland then I'll have to find a way to get Switzerland to come to me. Enter...

Last year, I was very impressed with the Neuhaus 3D advent calendar. This cheerfully large box contained a 25 day challenge. As I lifted open each door, it addsedto a three-dimensional Christmas diorama. Chocolate and art all packaged in one...
