Good job Cadbury!

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday all have quite similar routines...drop the boys at school, go to work #1, eat lunch en route to work #2, collect boys, go home. Late afternoons and evenings are busy with homework, music practice and lessons, housework, family time, baking, cooking, washing and so forth. Full on but good. So, without anything specific to say, I shall tell you about the weather which was excellent on Monday and Tuesday following Sunday's magnificent sunshine. On Wednesday afternoon a southerly blew in with its rain and grey, which hung around the whole of today bringing the temperature down from a high of 20.1 on Wednesday to 9.5 today. Interestingly though with the cloud cover the lows don't reach very low, so our minimum today was 8.1 following 1s and 2s throughout the week. But Cadbury's has the solution: their new Mousse slab range. Oh oh oh...I think they release them especially for winter as a comfort food, and this year they have revised the entire look, inside and out. First, who could resist the elegant packaging with gold-foil lettering and embossed chocolate? The slab itself is delightfully surprising with extra-large pieces housing the creamy mousse inner. For nibblers like me, the chocolate covering pulls away from the mousse with ease, increasing the eating pleasure and length of time it takes to get through a piece. For dippers like Nick, hot coffee melts the outer, exposing the filling. Oh wow. They have hazelnut, caramel and chocolate flavours; thus far we have only sampled caramel which is indescribably delicious. I rank this chocolate a sturdy 9/10. A dark chocolate and orange combination would certainly achieve full marks!

Sounds soooo yummy, will have to must try list.
I like the dark chocolate idea, but not with orange for me.
