The Arabica Food & Spice Company Turkish Delight – From £4.50Rose Turkish Delight

Turkish Delight is one of our favourites at Christmas time, especially different flavoured Turkish Delight. The Arabica Food & Spice Company kindly sent us a few of there flavours to try. Apple, Rose, Lemon and Double Pistachio were sent and we have to say we loved them all. Each of these are suitable for vegetarians and vegans and are so full of flavour that you’ll be ordering lots of these for Christmas.

They come in beautiful cellophane wrapping with a bow to tie it shut and inside is the Turkish delight. The apple and lemon were zesty and also had a sweet taste to them to counter balance any sourness, however our two favourites were the Rose which can be tricky to get right as to much rose flavour can really ruin a sweet, however this sweet had the perfect amount. The double pistachio was also one of our favourites as it was full of pistachios which gave it a very slight salty taste which balanced out perfectly with the sweetness of the Turkish delight.

Thorntons Milk, White And Dark Chocolate Star Collection – £7.00Thornton Star Collection

Thorntons Chocolate are always popular at Christmas so when Thorntons kindly sent us there new Star Collection we couldn’t wait to try them! In the box were 4 different flavours of chocolate, praline, honeycomb, fudge and truffles, each of these were in white, milk or dark chocolate. Trying each of these individually we could instantly taste the flavours in each of them and they all had a good covering of chocolate on them.

Our favourite was the honeycomb which had a really good crunch on it and tasted just like a crunchie bar and the truffles which were so soft and just melted in your mouth. Overall we thought this Star Collection from Thorntons was delicious and looked great so could easily be given as a gift!
