The Advent Calendar Review

The Advent Calendars

Welcome back to my blog! I am excited to be reviewing advent calendars in this post. 

For this review I purchased the 5 flavours of Hotel Chocolat's standard advent calendar (£12.50 each). The flavours are white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate (vegan), caramel chocolate and nut milk (vegan). The calendars contain 24 solid chocolates in various Christmas shapes which are very detailed.

Hotel Chocolat also sell a range of other advent calendars such as their children's penguin advent calendar and the grand advent calendar which includes multiple chocolate and alcohol products. Nevertheless, I chose to review their standard advent calendar range. 

There are now two options for vegans (the nutmilk and the dark) so there is a calendar in this range for everyone.

Packaging Review...

I really love the packaging of these advent calendars it is very good quality, classy and festive. My favourite advent calendars in terms of packaging are the white chocolate and milk chocolate (also my favourite for flavour) as I think the white and red are the most festive colours that have been used.

Chocolates In Each Flavour

Chocolate Review...

White 

-  Creamy, not over sweet, rich white flavour

- Favourite

Milk 

- Classic milk chocolate strength, not too sweet, creamy/smooth

- Favourite

Dark (Vegan)

- Very rich, strong, quite bitter, good for a dark chocolate lover, is proper dark chocolate 

Nutmilk (Vegan)

- Darker flavour than the milk, rich but not too bitter, smooth tasting 

Caramel

- Tastes like caramel, quite sweet - as sweet as the white, nice to have a little bit so is good for an advent calendar, rich flavour

- Note that this is made from solid caramel chocolate and does not contain any soft caramel

Thank you for reading and comment what your favourite flavour would be!
