Oh Christmas! Yes, it’s all about mince pies and stollen but really chocolate is where it’s at.<\/p>\n

Every year we destroy a mountain of Ferrero Rocher. It never happens at any other time of year. Other once a year treats include After Eights which only leads to the traditional “which monster leaves the sleeves in the box” argument. Classic.<\/p>\n

All stockings need a Terry’s Chocolate Orange.\u00a0 If you haven’t damaged a coffee table whacking one open you haven’t lived. A box or two of Matchsticks (mint only) during a Christmas film is a requirement.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There should also be an injury while someone attempts to gnaw a chunk of Toblerone off the bar. A lost filling due to overenthusiastic Toffifee chewing is also standard.<\/p>\n

We can have the Roses v Quality Street debate but Celebrations have crushed the competition now so it’s done.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

Finally, my favourite once of year chocolate is the one and only Elizabeth Shaw’s mints. Gold foil, bumpy service, crunchy minty bits. A bit posh. Heaven.<\/p>\n
