It is July and it is raining, marvellous isn’t it?! Typical British weather I suppose.

Nestle Rolo Mousse

I am pretty late to the chocolate mousse game but I suppose it is better late than never eh? I have a small obsession with Original Aero Mousse but decided to branch out and be a little adventurous on my recent shop, and buy the New Rolo Mousse. Why did I choose the Rolo? Well Rolo’s are pretty darn delightful mini chocolatey caramelly bites, and two it looked rather pretty.  The mousse was airy and light, just look at those airy bubbles!

Colin certainly takes me back to my childhood so naturally when…

Art Meets Chocolate – Salted Caramel

It is a fine line with salted caramel and one that not everyone can master. We have had some right doozies that have zero salt in or so much salt you could grit your pathways with, and others that have hit the nail right on the head and created something divine (here’s looking at you Superb Salted Peanut Caramel & Lindt Salted Caramel).  I previously reviewed the Art Meets Chocolate Gastown Bar which was the questionable peanut butter and bacon chocolate bar, however you will be pleased to know we are on more safer grounds with today’s review of salted…
