I go for Milk 50% and I could opt for a range of choice like dark 70% or mint or chilli and so on. The chocolate whip atop presents a challenge as one must get to the table before the weight of the whip pressing down on the liquid Chocolat forces the chocolate to spill over out of the cup. So much for surface tension versus gravity at .7 and all the other laws of physics at play here it's still after all a cup of hot chocolate albeit a very tasty cup of hot chocolate. The staff no doubt too low paid are a cheerful crew sadly in a country deliberately made miserable by tories who seem to relish in making people earn their poverty while finding even more money to pay themselves. An MP can now count on an annual salary with expenses circa £200k. The hot chocolate isn't the only mug I'm looking at.

It tasted great, was very chocolatey, and wasnt too sweet. I also bought a bunch of their chocolates which were very cute and from what I have tasted so far are amazing. This place is definitely on my list of places to revisit.

I was walking around Belfast City Centre and stumbled upon this gem of a shop! I grabbed a hot…read morechocolate to-go so I could sip on it and have a photo shoot with it around the city. The staff is friendly and the environment is very clean and inviting. The place was packed guessing by its popularity in the area. There are many tables to sit at and also a gift shop sort of section where you can buy chocolate boxes. The hot chocolate drink was VERY rich as expected and satisfied my cocoa craving.

As soon as I see the word Chocolat (or any other spelling) I have to stop. We had stopped at the…read moreHotel Chocolat in Guernsey and loved the selection but this place showed chocolate drinks. We ordered a drinking Hot Chocolate and picked up a couple more chocolates. This place was larger and there were many tables to sit and relax with your chocolates. The first taste of the hot Chocolate was pure heaven! Rich and hot but not too sweet. I could drink this all day. A very nice layout for the shop and staff were friendly.

I have always been a huge fan of Birthdays as it has easily got me out of some serious awkward…read moremoments over the years. It's great to run into either for a quick purchase or a longer ponder over which card best suits the occasion and person. Their range of cards move from basic birthdays to graduations, christenings, sympathy and leaving cards, meaning there's a card for practically every occasion. Another reason I like Birthdays is due to their small trinkets and collections spread across the store. They are great to add with a present for that little extra thought or effort. The 'me to you' bear collection is always popular with ladies of all ages as they are deemed cute and collectable. This Birthdays outlet in the Boucher Road Retail Park also offers the extra bonus of a Thornton's Chocolate stand in store. A perfect idea for a last minute present which still shows class and is deemed a somewhat expensive treat. Lovely-just wish someone would pop in here for me!

The man who was taking the workshop-one of Aunt Sandra's nephews, calling himself Willy Wonka's cousin, was hilarious! The workshop was bunged but he took the time to speak to every group individually and made everyone feel involved. I'd highly recommend this to anybody who like sweets, history and a good laugh. It's suitable for all ages and interests. Along with us were family groups, older couples and a hen party (which I thought was fab!) So sad to hear Aunt Sandra has passed away.

And something I never knew, until…read moreI received one, is that they will inscribe names or messages onto things made out of chocolate, to give them that personal touch! I received a chocolate campaign bottle with 'Happy Birthday Magz!' written on it-so thoughtful! They do chocolate bunnies and Easter eggs too during that time of year! The newest thing which makes Thorntons even more amazing is their chocolate fountain! Oh Yes! You can have it poured over strawberries and ice cream or have marshmallows dipped into it! It is too good!

It's a deceptively big shop, as it stretches far back into the walls of the shopping complex. The best thing about this store is its chocolate fountain. For a small amount of your hard earned cashed you can get a box of choc covered strawberries which are always welcome in the part of the world known as my belly. The prepacked selections are a perfect gift if your in a rush.

It's like some kind of…read moremagnetic force which leaves me completely helpless and powerless, removing all inhibitions and barriers which prevent me from purchasing extreme numbers of goods from this fave store of mine. Or maybe that's just me shopping normally... Anyhow, Stewart Miller is a bargainous store which is primarily a newsagent and confectioners, but is also a bookshop, cardshop and toyshop. I've found books for peanuts, excellent sweetie deals, and, when I was younger, it was my first stop for TY Beanie Babies (remember those?! I still have an absolute ton of them stashed away in my wardrobe...couldn't bear [excuse the pun] to part with them quite yet). The Holywood store is undoubtedly my favourite. The toy section is huge, and they are genuinely well-priced (not always super cheap), top-quality playthings. The card section is extremely well-stocked, with a huge variety to choose from, and at reasonable prices. The book section is my favourite - I've gotten presents for my mum and dad for next to nothing, and even picked up a football book for £1.99 from £12.99 today, and I've found travel books for a fiver. Oooh, its a good 'un.

I'm lovin it. This gem on the Holywood main street has some of my favourite everyday treats -…read moreglossy mags, cold drinks and chick lit style books at very good prices. It also keeps the kids very happy as it has the best selection of football trading cards I've ever come across. My favourite thing about Stewart Millar is the magazine and comic selection. One whole wall of the front section is given over to mags and comics which means that I can happily browse Marie Claire and 25 Beautiful Homes and the kids can look at the Beano (yes it still exists) and Shoot! before making our choices. And there are none of those shouty 'This is not a library' signs either. At the back of the shop are the toys - good selection of lego- and books. The books are worth a particular mention as the prices are great. Some of the not quite latest releases can be snaffled at Tesco-esque prices which certainly floats my boat. There's a good selection of kids books too, especially quite unusual activity and pop up books which are always good for Christmas presents. All I need to do now is stop accidentally calling it Stuart Little which makes the kids fall about laughing every time as Stuart Little is of course a talking mouse. It's happened, I've become an Embarrassing Mum.
