THE Hot Chocolate Shop!

I used to live in Windsor, UK and just across the bridge from Eton is a little Cafe, the Chocolate Theatre Cafe and I love it!

Every week I used to visit. I have always wondered what Roy the owner thinks of me, because each week I would have a new friend, date, relative, work colleague with me, someone new to introduce to the Hot Chocolates and any excuse for me to indulge in another!

5 years on and when I am back in the UK I always go to visit.

You must try one of their extensive range of Hot Chocolates, accompanied by a breakfast, soup, platter or Sandwich, plus if you too have a ultra-sweet-tooth, then treat yourself to one of the incredible homemade cakes and pastries.

I found this little video on you tube...

Chocolat 'n' Spice

This tiny little bakery has a huge reputation.

All they do is Muffins, Cakes and Brownies and people go mad for them. I was warned I might have to queue for quite some time to sample these legendary little buns, so I pitched up at 8:15am and no one else was there, plus they were warm and fresh!

I bought a big batch, with a selection of their many flavours and treated the office to pre-Chinese New Year Friday morning Muffin.

Chocolate Research Company

Over 100 Chocolate Flavours under one roof! Amazing!

I purchased 1 Belgium block (as a control bar) plus Maple Syrup from their Autumn/Winter 2009 collection, Strawberry with dried strawberry from their Double fruit series and Lychee, from their fruit series.

I really like the design of their bar too, great brand. I now have loyalty card, 6 more bars to buy before I get a free one.
