I convert everyone to my love affair with Rococo chocolates, giving them as gifts. I was so pleased when a new boutique opened near to me that stocks them as I can much easier get my supply of Champagne truffles and assortments… oh and the Jello love babes beat the cheaper well known brand by far.
When in London though, a visit to Rococo is a must, the place looks and smells like heaven. Their nougat lovely and fresh and the decorated chocolate animals make beautiful gifts.

If you are into your chocolate then Roccoco chocolates on King’s road will be right up your street. They sell their chocolates in all of the top shops like liberty and Selfridges. Their own shop is actually really tiny and old fashioned and has so many different chocolates to choose from. They are not cheap but you can buy as many or as few as you wish as they sell them loose at the counter. Their dark chocolate is really the best if you are into that sort of thing. Although I did buy a bar once that was 99% cocoa and that was like eating chocolate mixed with chalk, I guess it’s an acquired taste. But their scorched almonds are great as are their unusually flavoured artisan bars – geranium and orange flavour, chilli flavour – they make great little presents.
