My top wannabe career (after lead rock guitarist!) has for a long time been "Master Chocolatier". This choice was inspired by the Lindt chocolate advert. I love Lindt chocolate and have long desired to be the fat man with the white hat who scoops up melted chocolate on the end of a giant whisk!
This led Clare to an inspired choice for my Christmas present. A 6 month subscription to the Hotel Chocolat tasting club!! The proof of the pudding is shown below!
Every month I get delivered a box of 36 chocolates that have been hand-made and selected for people in this exclusive club. The box comes complete with its own menu, so you know exactly what each chocolate is and... this is the best bit... you rate each of the chocolates out of 10 and send your answers back. The first step to developing a chocolate palette and becoming a master chocolatier!
A few select people make suggestions for new chocolates that the tasting club could produce and, if these are good enough, they not only make them but also put your name next to the master chocolatier in the chocolate menu.
So this is my next aim...to come up with a chocolate good enough to get selected and produced. Recent examples include Whisky and Sour Cherry and Eton Mess so my choice will have to be pretty special. At the minute, I'm thinking something involving peanuts!
So if you have any inspired thoughts, let me know and I will suggest them too! (Taking all the credit naturally!)

Oh good grief! It's the perfect gift! Chocolate is a little slice of heaven! Too bad I'm not closer so I could share:)
That's another thing I have to add to this list of the ever so late Christmas gift! I will send it out, but it keeps growing. It's probably going to cost $80.00 to send out if I don't do it soon, but I keep finding ultra cool things and I just had the most amazing chocolate the other day. So, Know I know your weakness...snicker, snicker...
Yep, I'm in the choc tasting club too (for 5 years so far)....good isn't it?!

Amaretti truffle! That would be my fave. Like DrPepper in a chocolate! Jo x
