I discovered them back when I did Veganuary, when suddenly, simply because I couldn’t have just anything I gave myself crazy cravings for everything I *knew* was vegan – Oreos, original Pringles, Party Rings etc. Behind each door is a chocolate square in one of four flavours: salted caramel, sea salt dark chocolate, Colombian milk or dark gingerbread chocolate. What an odd experience, perfectly drinkable but with an undertone of something milky that I wouldn't expect to enjoy but I think I do? There are certainly some stand-outs amongst the crowd, with my personal favourites going to Hoppy Xmas, Jagged Edge and OG Hazy but I think everything in this box is well worth a shot - I didn't expect to hate any and BrewDog delivered.The technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network.

To me, it had a bit of a bread flavour with a citric aftertaste, which is not a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination but the taste just isn't one for me. With 24 surprises to discover, our sweets and treats advent calendar is filled with everything from chewy gummy candies and tangy sour sweets to delicious fruit jellies and fruity candy drops. The affectionately named ‘Jam Bus’ has a fun design and contains eight different classic jams (including two marmalades).Our highlights were the novelty flavours that Boutique-y Gin Company is known for, with 13 new recipes this year including blood orange, bakewell tart and Christmas pudding gin. Open a creamy square of white chocolate each day and make a Santa decoration using the cut-out on the back. What stood out to us was the generous size of the contents within each of the 25 drawers (no miniatures here), plus the variety – from jam and chutney to tea, coffee, chocolates and even homewares with a candle and Christmas decorations. I might be able to justify one or two of these while not exceeding my daily calories, and that is a winner in my books.

There are a mixture of individually wrapped peanut butter and almond cups behind each door, all coated in dark chocolate and all impressively large – no tiny doors here. Inside you'll find a selection of chutneys, jams, biscuits, teas and more – including several doors hiding miniature alcohol, from English cassis to Christmas gin, and an extra-special treat for Christmas Eve. beers are perhaps acquired tastes or have really prominent flavours that may not agree with everyone. Most chocolate Advent calendars reveal the same behind every door, but this Hershey's calendar has three different styles of cookies 'n' creme chocolate to open, including a mini bar for Christmas Eve. From American classics to European delights, each day will be a culinary journey of sweet surprises!A baked alternative to a classic Advent calendar, this jar is filled with buttery biscuits that are each intricately iced and numbered in festive designs, including penguins and baubles. This kind of texture and a proper good sour zing is something that’s hard to find in a vegetarian sweet let alone a vegan and gluten free option! I said before I loved OG Hazy, so its no surprise I love this too - not sure how well I would fare trying to drink this all night on an evening out, but I'd happily give it a go!

If you want to support an independent business this Christmas, we love this adorable chocolate caramel calendar from Salcombe Dairy.Some of the potential surprises include delicious vegan marshmallows, fruity candy drops, chewy gummy candies, tangy sour sweets, and more! If you're dreaming of summer evenings in the park sipping a canned cocktail, this is the calendar for you.
