What: Tony’s Chocolonely’s not only tastes great, but the business is also trying to make the world a better place.

The chocolate is chunky and addictive, and this countdown calendar offers ten different flavours of chocolate so you can sample all that they offer before settling on your favourites to buy in bulk throughout the year. Favourites of ours include the dark milk chocolate with pretzel and toffee pieces as well as the salted caramel.Cocoa butter is the naturally occurring fat found in cacao beans, and we press it out of the bean to use in our chocolate making. It gives our white chocolate its distinctive creamy colour, a delicate cacao flavour and an astonishing melt. Never too sweet, we’ve managed to make our white chocolate as much a homage to the cacao bean as any of our other chocolates. At their inception, Advent calendars were used to count down the four-week period preceding Christmas. Though they began as a religious tradition, today they are used to also celebrate the anticipation and joy of the holiday season with a surprise behind each door or window of the calendar. Now we know deep down that chocolate shouldn’t really be part of your breakfast, but that adds to the indulgence of it all, and arguably the small bite-sized squares you get in an advent calendar taste even better than a full-sized bar as a result. The issue comes when making the decision as to which one, or in our case how many, you’re going to commit to buying this year, with so many different options on offer. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.
