Happy Mothers Day
- "A Mother is like a flower On a sunny summer day.
- You'd pick her in a minute
- If you could have your way.
- A Mother is like the sunshine;
- She warms your heart each day
- And makes you feel like smiling.
- It's just her special way."

If you are still clinging on to your New Years Resoultions and are still trying to eat healthily and do not want to resort to lots of low fat salad greens and dry crackers eating healthily does not mean that we all have to eat boring foods because that is no longer the case.
We have introduced a new section that is full of low-fat recipes without sacrificing the great chocolate taste.
If you are looking to have a yummy naughty feeling dessert which is low in cholesterol which you can munch away with a clear conscience try this Chocolate and Banana Gratin.
I am sure you have all been affected by this really cold weather and we are no exception here, the snow although really pretty to look at does make driving and getting about pretty treacherous and I have just the thing to cheer any weary traveller up...... a cup of Orange Hot Chocolate with Mallow Wand.
To wash down all that lovely Chocolate food what would be better that a few cocktails. Sorry under 18’s this section is not for you as all the Cocktails contain alcohol but there is a selection for you in our Chocolate Drinks section. ‘Choctails’ are just the thing to get your party going and don’t worry they all contain Chocolate! So dive in and enjoy this new section and don’t forget the painkillers.
And I'm sure you all have a birthday or anniversary of some kind coming up so why not plan ahead and have a look at our selection of cakes for that Special Occasion or if it is a kids party that you are planning why not try some of our Chocolate Kids Games or better still get your child to help with the cooking with our easy to follow Kids Chocolate Recipes.
