Divine Chocolate Dark 70 Percent Chocolate Advent Calendar, 85 g

Product Information

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.

Chocolate fans will find brightly-wrapped mini squares of H!P’s oat milk chocolate, in classic, salted caramel, gingerbread, and festive orange flavours. The products themselves are simply a dream. Each one is beautifully scented with essential oils to calm your mind and body, making your whole bathroom smell like a luxury spa. There are even a few little surprises like crystals designed to promote good energy and enhance the benefits of the products.Along with HAPPi’s plain milk chocolate squares, you also get salted caramel, which has a slightly sweeter edge than the plain, balanced with a smidge of salt.

Plus, I love that not only do you get to enjoy a piece of delicious chocolate each day, but each window gives you an interesting fact or a suggestion on how to enjoy a more eco-friendly Christmas. Gluten-free: Yes but the chocolate is made on equipment which processes milk, soy, gluten, peanuts and other nuts. Who says advent calendars have to be filled with chocolates? If you’re looking for something different to the usual chocolate calendars then vegan sweet makers Candy Kittens have just the calendar for you! And it’s no wonder because PLAYin CHOC’s chocolate is incredibly creamy and sweet, and probably one of the most ‘authentic’ vegan milk chocolates I’ve tasted. They’re sure to please even the fussiest little ex-dairy eaters!Finally, no one should have to miss out at Christmas. So we’ve always given extra points to vegan advent calendars that accommodate dietary allergies.

I found some of the characters a little fiddly to build, and thought one or two could do with instructions for the less mechanically-minded builders! (No? Just me?) But overall, I found each window filled with a lot of fun and whimsy. So, to find out which vegan advent calendars are worth the money, we tested the contents to see whether they were delicious as this is the most important factor. Behind each door is a decadently dark and sumptuously silky 70% dark chocolate heart that is rich enough to satisfy your chocolate cravings. Plus, it’s a great ethical choice to as Divine’s chocolate is Fairtrade and palm-oil free so it’s kinder to the environment and those who grow it too. I loved that you lift each box out and simply pull the products out, rather than having to fiddle around unwrapping small cardboard boxes each day. It’s this attention to detail that shows Gaia has really considered the overall experience of the calendar, making it as stress-free experience from start to finish. The cover also gives HAPPi plenty of space to shout about their Kids for Nature project, along with other ethical accolades like being palm oil-free, slave-free, and using no single-use plastics.For that reason, we’ve rounded up the best chocolate advent calendars for 2023, to help make your decision on which one to get that much easier.

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