Hotel Chocolat You Crack me up !

This is what they say on their web site Hotel Chocolat


"An irrepressibly upbeat egg cast in 40% milk chocolate and bursting with our cheeriest chocolates, from smiley face pralines and happy chicks to classic Easter bunnies - Includes 12 chocolate brownies, cookie pralines, chocolate fried eggs, solid chocolate bunnies and chicks cast in milk and caramel chocolate and more.

The story of our extra thick eggs – When we first started making eggs 12 years ago, we were advised by industry experts to use the least amount of chocolate by making them as thin as possible and to arrange the chocolates around the outside of the egg to make it look as big as possible. We did the opposite and made ridiculously thick shells with all of the chocolates hidden inside for extra Easter excitement."

Superior packaging makes for a delightful present.

And I am eyeing up the container to make use of that ...!


The Egg


Is a very thick 40% chocolate bundle of happiness.

You open it and and it just screams quality and Eat me too !

The menu invites you to a scrumptious selection of goodies

You are spoilt for choice with the menu.

What's inside the egg!


-  12 chocolate brownies, cookie pralines, chocolate fried eggs, solid chocolate bunnies and chicks cast in milk and caramel chocolate and more. 

They do make me smile....

They look so happy you don't want to eat them....

Then again perhaps you do !

The thickness of the chocolate is breathtaking.

The egg may well suit different tastes there is no need to make individual eggs for the family as they can all share this.  Now Josh liked everything whilst Mr T took some convincing of the use of sea salt within chocolate. We are educating prehistoric pallates and this egg was a brilliant starting point.

A fantastic egg, that is great value for money.

The full selection of scrumptious Easter goodies can be found Online, and the You Crack Me Up egg can be purchased online for £26, or of course you can visit one of the many shops .

(Disclosure I was sent the egg for review and my words and thoughts are entirely my own )

#Silent Sunday

We are going on a Bear Hunt

I love this book it is so magical so many can be bought to life with this book it is unbelievable. I use this with with  autistic , SEN sessions and it is brilliant.


The family  are going on a Bear Hunt full of bravado and over flowing with confidence!


"We are going on a Bear Hunt,
We're going to Catch a big one
What a Beautiful day !
We're not scared !"


 The repartition is wonderful repetition of the "We can't go over it. / We can't go under it. / Oh no! / We've got to go through it" kind, and frequent onomatopoeia ("Swishy Swashy … Splash Splosh … Hoooo Woooo") will maintain interest for even the youngest of listeners. And the poetic language en thralls even the youngest of readers its pure delight.

and also how it encourages the preposition of language ie "We can't go under it"


 The ability to be able adapt your surroundings this to this book are  only limited by your imaginations from having a bear cave play corner to going throw  some " Swish Swashy ' long grass.


To going outside when its wet and going through the mud " Suelch Squerch"




To even making  a Bear with two "googly eyes" and a "Wet shiny nose "


Your only limit is your imagination or your childs with is unlimited of course !
