Golden Fords Candles of Guildford – Tealight Taster Pack

Love a candle? Me too! The trouble with buying candles online without prior knowledge of them is that you haven’t the foggiest what the fragrances actually smell like. You don’t want to spend on something that you think you’d like and when it rocks up it smells horrendous. So after a following on Insta I was intrigued by Golden Fords Candles and low and behold they sell a Taster Pack which showcases their Flagship collection. Genius! Golden Fords Candles are based on a little farm on the doorstep of Chantry Woods. Here each candle they make is 100% natural using ethically sourced…

Beaulieu Pistachio Chocolate

Pistachio is my all time favourite nut. Salt it, roast it, plain out the shell, if there are pistachios about I am going to eat them. So when I visited Beaulieu Chocolate Studio and spied their Beaulieu Pistachio Chocolate bar it was certain that this was coming home with me.  Nestled in the New Forest they create contemporary and local speciality chocolates which are all hand-made using fresh and where possible local ingredients.

Mighty Fine Peanut Butter Honeycomb

Did we all have a fabulous 4 day Easter weekend? The Easter Bunny not only delivered an abundance of chocolate eggs and bunnies, thanks to Kevvie I also got something to satisfy the peanut butter lover in me – Mighty Fine Peanut Butter Honeycomb. I heart honeycomb and I heart peanut butter and the thought of combining one another has never crossed my mind. Why? I have no idea.  With each batch handcrafted they also claim to be Mighty Fine by name and mighty fine by nature. This little company is barely 3 years old and is already selling their…

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…
