These days advent calendars have lots of different goodies hiding behind the windows, including beauty products, alcohol and toys, but I much prefer the ones that contain chocolate – after all what other time of the year can you get away with chocolate for breakfast!!
For more than 200 years, Cadbury have been at the heart of British chocolate making, famous for its distinctive smooth, creamy taste and of course those instantly recognisable purple wrappers. This year they have teamed up with the popular biscuit brand Lotus, who make Biscoff, the delicious crunchy caramel biscuits, and have created the ultimate Christmas countdown. Having tasted one of the new Biscoff chocolate chunks I must admit, I was a little disappointed to discover there’s only 12 of these in the calendar – the remaining 12 days contain a classic Dairy Milk chunk. However, it does add a lovely element of surprise – you never quite know which one you’ll discover each morning!
The packaging is simple but elegant with a striking red and purple design mirroring the two well-known brand colours. Each window holds an individually wrapped chocolate and while I can never resist eating mine straight away, the wrapping does mean you can save it for later – that’s if you have better willpower than me!!
Whether you’re buying for a loved one or simply treating yourself, this advent calendar is a must-have for any chocolate lover this year.
