Chocolates during this time of year.

I've found myself craving chocs during this festive season. It's a time for indulgence. This started when I was home alone while my DH was away. It was just me, chocs and the TV, which became my companion. My close friends and family live overseas, and others are scattered across the UK.

He is home today, but he prefers to do his things.

I'm eating Dairy Milk while watching 'The Nutcracker'. Later, I'll have Ferrero Rocher and 'White Christmas'.

Thanks for reading. Merry Christmas to you all and have an enjoyable time.

Enjoy :) I just had some chocolate icecream.

No, I rarely ever eat chocolate. I used to like it, but not so much now.

You do however have to hide crisps from me!

I've been given some Lily O'Brien's chocolates ~ I think they're a dessert selection. Never had these before so looking forward to opening them later on

There's nothing like a good film and a new box of choccies!

I made a special trip up town (London) yesterday to buy the best chocolates in the Uk at Adam Hamilton. A big box of 24 chocolates, all different flavours. Yesterday we had two, the hazelnut (unbelievable!) and the Mango (mouth watering).

@Bayleaf30 I love chocolate ice cream too, but prefer it in the summer.

@CaptainBluebell I love crisps, especially Pringles. Only on treat days.

@HoorayHattie I wonder if Lily O'Brien's and Hotel Chocolat share similarities in quality and unique flavours. I saw some in Waitrose.

@LaurieFairyCake I love nuts in chocolate; it's a great combination. I must check it out later.

Thanks.

@LaurieFairyCake you had only two? I didn't know that was possible?
Is there a spell you could share ?

@Toeatornottoeat1 My mother loves Lily O’briens, I bought her some for her birthday a couple of days ago. I’d recommend based on her opinion, lol

@LaurieFairyCake Hi. I can't find Adam Hamilton.
I want to know if it's Hamilton Chocolates or Adam Handling Chocolate Shop?
Thanks.

Thank you @CaptainBluebell
I will try them. Spoil myself with chocs on New Year's Eve.
