It's Christmas so it's chocs away

It’s mandatory to gorge on chocolate at Christmas. Fact. Here are some of Velvet’s go-to chocs for all the family.

Enjoy! Drinking Chocolate, from £5.95, joyofenjoy.com/store

Not only does this hot chocolate taste glorious - rich, smooth, seriously chocolatey - like all Enjoy! products, it’s raw, organic, vegan and free from dairy, gluten, soya, nuts and refined sugars. Brilliant.

Thorntons Cheeky Reindeer and Snowy Bear, £5.38, thorntons.co.uk

These cute character chocolates, made from hollow milk and white chocolate respectively, are perfect for popping in the top of a stocking. Their smiley faces are a joy and, the chocolate sweet without being too sickly, you’ll get away with a pre-breakfast nibble.

Guylian Belgian Deluxe Assortment, £10, all major supermarkets and guylian.com

Cor. While this whopping box of Guylian classics is plenty big enough to share, the dream would be to scoff the lot alone. Ideally while lying in bed and watching The Holiday. (No? Just us?) Though they’re all delicious, the seahorses in crunchy biscuit, caramel and coffee are standouts.
