If you’re looking for an advent calendar that combines both chocolate and a sense of social awareness, then the Milk Chocolate Advent Calendar from Divine Chocolate is both those things. It’s suitable for children too, but you’ll find that it’s also got a sense of grown-up about about it, so it’s great for adults too, especially parents who still buy advent calendars for their adult children! Divine Chocolate also have a dark chocolate version, but we received this one to try and in the name of a honest reviews – we opened it immediately! Not something you can do when you’re a child but to be honest, it’s one of only a few things you can get away with as an adult and not feel guilty. I digress…
Behind each of the 24 windows there is a gorgeous little chocolate in the shape of a heart. Foil wrapped, they’re all the same throughout the calendar, with a simple sentence behind each window explaining the nativity as each day goes by. The front of the calendar exclaims that it’s “Seriously Smooth” chocolate, which it is due to the high cocoa content in Divine Chocolate. It doesn’t contain soy or palm oil either, not least because it’s better for the environment and the community who grow the cocoa and associated ingredients.
I love that this is only £7.50 as well, much cheaper than other brands, yet like the other Divine Chocolate products, the proceeds go to helping native communities where the chocolate is sourced from. It’s a win/win and a true Christmas spirit!
