hotel chocolate cookie caramel festive wreath – giveaway

16 November 2015 by Dominic Franks

… the thing is, this Christmas lark is coming at you whether you like it or not. They say that it comes earlier every year and I do have to admit that this year, it seems to have swung around again very fast but quite frankly I love it. Despite this unseasonably warm weather we’re having I already have that tingly feeling in my bones about locking down for Christmas.  Last year we left these shores for sunnier climes and whilst both The Viking and I had a hugely enjoyable time we both had to admit to ourselves is that we really missed Christmas.  As you can imagine the cottage is festooned with decorations – all supremely tasteful of course – and the food and wine don’t really stop flowing… well it’s mainly cheese but you get the idea.  With the year we’ve had I am looking forward to settling down in front of the fire and not moving for three weeks…

the hotel chocolate cookie caramel festive wreath is one massive chunk of chocolate… when I first opened the package when it had arrived through the post I was a little disappointed at how small it seemed.  I think I have chocolate dysmorphia though because this is a weighty piece of divine deliciousness.  It’s so thick you actually have to put a considerable amount of effort into cutting it up and I truly believe that if you have to strain to cut a chunk of chocolate then you know you’re getting your moneys worth! It’s actually 450g of gorgeousness. Inspired by a festive christmas wreath and crafted from delicious 50% milk chocolate. The wreath is generously studded with nibbly cocoa biscuits, shortbread biscuits and crisp caramelised Florentine squares… even The Viking who’s not usually a chocolate fan was pretty much smitten with this beauty.  It’s perfect for Christmas, great for sharing or gifting or just keeping for yourself and eating secretly every time you go upstairs…

the good people at hotel chocolate have very kindly given me a wreath to giveaway to one lucky Belleau Kitchen reader, all you have to do to enter is fill in the clever little raflecopter gadget thing below and then sit back and wait for Christmas…

    My favourite thing about Christmas lunch is that we get to have lots of party food (we have a buffet/picky bits lunch and dinner at dinner time). Oh and the glass of prosecco 😉

    For me, it has to be the main event (is our case, Goose!) I love the process of cooking and watching the meal transform into a golden feast!

    Ooh I love Christmas my birthday is in December and I'd happily give it up every year for another Christmas! I love seeing how people decorate their houses and starting traditions with our family. We bake mince pies and then go all round our neighbours houses, Carol singing and giving out hot mince pies. I just love the extra kindness and warmth people have at Christmas time. I hope you have a very lovely Christmas. Sammie.

    I love the stuffing best! Particularly if it's cooked in the meat's juices and goes gooey and caramelised – I describe it as 'gunky'

    Love how you end this post by mentioning secret chocolate eaters! That's me!! I have been know to help my children look for their chocolate which I ate the previous evening #badmummy My fave part of the Christmas meal is the bird. Two years ago we ditched the turkey and ordered a capon from our butcher, it was so much better than any turkey I've tried and we have our third annual capon on order again. Love supporting our local butcher as well..

    While actually eating the meal it's the roast parsnips but secretly I'm waiting for later when I can have cold turkey and cranberry sandwiches as the turkey tastes even better cold.

  64. Cheryl Pasquier says

  112. Kat Kingsbury says

    19 November 2015 at 10:15 am

    Pigs in blankets, parsnips and the stuffing. I could happily forego the rest of it and just eat a massive pile of those, with a bit of gravy, of course – I am Northern, after all 😉 .

    I love all of it – particularly the turkey, roast potatoes, braised red cabbage, roast parsnips, stuffing, and pigs-in-blankets, I even like the sprouts… but my favourite part is collapsing on the settee afterwards with a cup of tea thinking “my work here is done!”.

  183. Karen Hughes says

    20 November 2015 at 1:34 pm

    Its so hard to pick out one favourite, I love Christmas! But I'm going to have to say my favourite is the pigs in blankets, we only make them twice a year at most, once as a trial run and then on Christmas day, so they're a lovely treat!

    I'm a vegetarian, so my favourites are roast potatoes and parsnips. I also really like brussel sprouts and can't understand why they are so maligned!
