DS2 has put "chocolate" on his Christmas list. How big are the big slabs of mixed milk/white chocolate? Waaaaaay to big for a 5 year old? He would not be eating it all at once!!

we have a hotel chocolat shop - you can go in and browse (and smell) the goodies

Oh they're a fine size, he can have a few bites then send the rest to me, I can ease his burden and it is in the spirit of Christmas after all.

I could go to the shop but I'm not sure I could be trusted Already my virtual basket has sprouted a Rocky Road slab that I don't need...

I went for a job interview once in the chocolate department of a food research lab. I couldn't concentrate during the interview because of the smell...

I got a discount code through UK frenzy. 10% off. If you google HC discount it should come up

Never had the slabs though!

MrsMillsletoe, if you can prise the bar out of his chubby little hands on Christmas day, you can have it

I'm working my way through the box that I got for my birthday on monday - should be empty and ready for replenishment by Xmas day ( here's hoping)

You could get him a pack of mini slabs - might be easier to ration out.

I considered the mini slabs but thought the large one had a bigger impact in the eyes of a 5 year old.

Ta for the voucher!

Now, what else should I add...

For you or him? If for him, have you seen the chocolate tasting game thing? Haven't seen it in rl, but looks fun.

Hotel chocolat do a nice animal pack of chocs for kids.

And the dippy sets are lovely too if you dont mind supervising him.

I spent a fortune in there last weekend......
