My Chocolate Week Surprise

As part of Chocolate Week celebrations, which runs from 12th to the 18th October, Kellogg’s were kind enough to send me a little surprise after I responded to a thread on UK Food Bloggers Association. I know I’m probably crossing some moral threshold by giving them publicity but I like getting free yummy treats.

I thought I was just going to get a few packets of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies but I ended up getting a huge box of stuff. I got a chocolate candle, marshmallows, rice krispies and an edible letter, with my blog logo on it. As you can see, I tried the edible letter. It didn’t have much in the way of flavour.

The Gift BoxEdible Letter didn't have a flavour though :(

The chocolate candle was amazing, it actually looked and smelled just like chocolate. I was tempted to have a bite of that too but thought against it. I’ve never had proper rice krispies before and they were pretty nice, they even weren’t too bad in terms of calories. I took one each day for lunch and they went down well with my afternoon tea.

The best thing had to be the chocolate fountain. I debated whether it was an appropriate dinner party choice but when I asked friends about it, they came back with an overwhelming OMGWTFBBQ SERVE THE FOUNTAIN! So I did and it was good. I ended up with lots of extra chocolate as it takes like almost a kilo of the stuff to get it working but who cares when it’s so awesome?

After looking at those photos, I really want chocolate now…
