Chocolate Lovers listen up… there’s a new chocolate in town (the Welsh town of Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire) where the team at Wickedly Welsh have created a fabulous chocolate hamper for Father’s Day, which you wont’ be able to resist!

You can be the biggest chocolate lover in the world and still find some joy in this hamper.  The starring role goes to the varied chocolate flavours which is what Wickedly Welsh are famous for.  Boasting three large slabs of chocolate, two whisky bite sized chocolates and two love spoons, there’s plenty here to keep Dad happy, and saves you putting together a gift hamper of your own!

Starting with the chocolate slabs, the three flavours are Moreish Milk Chocolate, Coffee & Biscuit and Welsh Sea Salt & Caramel, each of about 90grams in weight.  If your Dad is Welsh, then he’ll love the Milk Chocolate slab with the Welsh Dragon design, but all of the slabs are one piece, not squares. We suspect this is so that Dad doesn’t have to share them with anyone else!  We loved all flavours, but the Sea Salt & Caramel was a particular favourite. The sea salt is actually Halen Mon Sea Salt, a locally sourced ingredient to make it a Welsh taste sensation.

Also in the hamper are two Milk & Dark Love Spoons.  Welsh Love Spoons are a symbol of love, and these 40 gram bars are no exception. If you don’t want to tuck into a large slab of chocolate, or want to take a snack with you, these Love Spoons are a brilliant choice.

Lastly, the pack also contains two of Wickedly Welsh’s most popular individual chocolates in a cute presentation box.  If you’re new to Welsh chocolate or the way Wickedly Welsh present their wares, you’ll do worse than try these first.  They’re stunning, and so moreish I bet you, or Dad, won’t be able to stop at just these two.  They’re great tasters for the rest of the range that’s available online, and not just on Father’s Day. 

The quality of the chocolate is superb with the ingredients sourced locally and all are 100% natural. Whether or yourself or as a gift for someone else, Wickedly Welsh chocolate is an excellent gift choice.

This products includes alcohol and is not suitable for children.

Father’s Day is notoriously difficult to find presents for, whether it be for Dad, Grandad or Step Dad. Wickedly Welsh, the home-grown chocolate company, have sent us a Father’s Day Chocolate Deal with fits the bill perfectly, no matter which member of the family you’re looking for gifts for.

In the Penderyn Welsh Whisky Chocolate & Puddle deal, Wickedly Welsh have teamed up two different types of chocolate products, both with whisky flavouring.  A new product to their existing range of chocolate treats, this dark chocolate is their usual high quality and made of 100% natural ingredients, but is infused with Penderyn Whisky. Distilled near the Wickedly Welsh Chocolate factory in the Rhondda Valley, the whisky adds a slight taste to the dark chocolate, but is not the overpowering liquor taste we were all familiar with growing up at Christmas! Instead, it’s a subtle taste which you can detect but isn’t overpowering. It means you don’t have to be a whisky lover to enjoy them, but any chocolate lover will relish in a slightly different flavouring but with the high quality dark chocolate to savour.

It’s the same 62% Ghanaian cocoa in each of the products, but presented differently. The Rich Dark Chocolate Bar, at a minimum weigh of 90grams is divided into squares which you can share, or not share! This would be great to be melted into a hot chocolate. The Penderyn Whisky Dark Chocolate Puddles, which have the same slight taste of whisky as the bar, are like giant chocolate buttons, with a light dusting of gold. Easily picked up and eaten, they are sooooo more-ish that I couldn’t put them down! With both of the different chocolates, you can taste the finesse of the ingredients and really enjoy the taste.

These are definitely chocolates for grown-ups and not just because of the added whisky but the dark chocolate appeals more to adults. They are wonderfully indulgent though and make great gifts for Dad, Grandad or uncle… their size also makes them brilliant to pop in the post!
