We've launched our latest collection of chocolate truffles featuring some delicious new flavours, inspired by local flavours including a fruity, floral Cherry & Hibiscus, zesty Lemon Verbena & Honey, and a bitter sweet Chocolate Orange Marmalade Caramel.

Sharing a fondue together is a classic activity on Valentine's Day. Classic choices to dip include brownies, cookies, pretzels, fresh fruit and marshmallows.

To make your own rich dark chocolate dipping sauce all you need is:

Simply heat up 70ml double cream or dairy alternative and stir through the chocolate flakes. That's it!

£6.50 for 150g (this will leave you some left over for a luxury hot chocolate!)
