Surprisingly, I've still got some plain chocolate Hobnobs left! As Jo Brand says, there are two kinds of people when it comes to biscuits: skinny people open the packet, get out a plate, put one biscuit on it, seal the packet and put it away till next month. The rest of us open the packet and scoff the lot
In the meantime, here is a link to some fabulous looking chocolate cake recipes provided by five top chefs in conjunction with Divine Fairtrade chocolate:
Check out this box of festive yet classy looking Christmas chocolates from Hotel Chocolat. Personally I think this is a decent enough box of chocolates to be a nice Christmas gift in its own right (unlike the free Thorntons box from a couple of years ago, which was nice but more of a stocking filler). It's even got penguins in it, look :)
So what's the catch? Well, you have to buy chocolate! But if this is for Christmas presents, it's along the lines of buying some nice chocolate Christmas gifts and getting an extra chocolate Christmas gift free - not bad at all. This is what Hotel Chocolat say about it:
Spend £50 or more with Hotel Chocolat before the end of November and you'll be sent a gorgeous 'Taste of Christmas' chocolate box FREE as a thank you.
Worth £12.50 this smart boxed collection contains solid chocolate penguins and baubles, gorgeous stars filled with nutty pralines and fruity centres, a milk chocolate vintage snowman tablet and caramel milk chocolate batons.
Your free chocolates will be delivered with your order or separately if you are sending a gift.
