It's…read moredefinitely one for a treat, or for a special gift for someone, but if you do decide to buy something I think it's worth the money. As a big chocolate fan I have sampled many of their choccy delights, and you really can taste the quality. The shop stocks quite a few varieties of chocolates there are huge boxes of chocolates with different centres, and little bags of smaller chocolate treats. They do an amazing proper drinking chocolate, and a wide array of chocolate covered fruits. And have you ever seen their enormous chocolate slabs? It's worth popping into the shop just to see those they are gorgeous, massive slabs of chocolate with different flavours and toppings, and the size of them has to be seen to be believed! Unfortunately the large price tag rules them out for every day eating (wouldn't that be nice!!) but thankfully there are also miniature versions of some of the slabs that aren't quite such a stretch on the budget!

I guess we have all seen chocolate stores but this place is definitely towards the top end of them…read more If Thorntons is your reliable Ford Mondeo then this place is a little more edgy and racy like a Audi R8. The types of chocolate available are enough to make anyones mouth water as you take a walk around and count the 1000's of calories that you could easily devour in just five minutes alone in there! My favourite has to be these large 'slabs' of chocolate that they have on sale. Flavours of them vary, but there is a great one that is crammed with fruits and has whole berrys sat on top of the delicious thick chocolate. The place is a nice visit and the staff are good. Once you have decided on what to give into then it is well packaged and comes in a nice bag and so makes a great gift.

Cadbury Chocolate Crème Egg: Ubiquitous with the Easter season, the Cadbury Crème egg is the king…read moreof the Easter crème eggs. If sweet crème filled chocolate isn't your thing (I would question your tastes), then Cadbury also offers caramel and chocolate versions. The chocolate version is similar to the traditional egg in that they share the same shape, milk chocolate shell flavor, and the proportion of chocolate to filling. Obviously the first difference is the wrapping on this egg is a dazzling silver and purple color. This is a big upgrade over the more lackluster brown packaging in the past. Secondly, is the crème filling being a thick, sweet, and delicious chocolate. The egg is a little messy, but the thickness of the chocolate crème prevents it from oozing too much while eating it. It's almost like a frosting it's so thick! As I munched on this egg the crème filling's flavor reminded me of Hershey syrup. I still prefer the classic version, but the chocolate egg is a worthy sidekick and is Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews My Cadbury Egg Rankings: 1.Crème Egg 2.Chocolate Crème Egg 3.Caramel Egg

This time, with minus temperatures outside and snow up to our armpits (almost), it was a necessity to stop and sit somewhere with a hot drink and something indulgent and I'm so pleased we did. It's only a tiny little shop with four or so tables squished in the middle but it was the perfect place for a pit stop and the homemade hot chocolate, made with real chocolate and topped with marshmallows and chocolate flakes was hot, thick, rich and delicious- you even got a little chocolate served on the plate if your blood sugar levels hadn't already rocketed. All the chocolate is made onsite and they have an amazing selection, just a pity I was feeling chocolate-d out when we left to pay - next time I'll buy my choccies to take home beforehand!
