It’s Chocolate Week in the UK and what a chocolatey week it has been. I have been using every excuse to eat as much chocolate as possible. And why not?! It contains endorphins – those lovely little feel good hormones and I need a few thousand of those at the moment with all the cold weather setting in.
Today is also the start of The Chocolate Show in London. I had a lovely preview last night. Here are a few chocolatey treats that caught my eye.
Rose Turkish Delight Brownies by Bad Brownie
Sugarless chocolates by Venchi
New milk chocolate collection from Marou
Beautifully branded chocolate from Tobago. The company do local food tours too
White Chocolate Liqueur from Eberle in Germany. Wonderful. Like Baileys but better
The show started today and closes on Sunday.
Something chocolatey then?
So if those pics now have you hankering for something chocolatey try these super easy madeleines. Chocolate not actually required as this recipe uses store cupboard cocoa powder (just in case like me you do not have chocolate in the house when you neeeed chocolate in the house!)
Chocolate Madeleines Salted Caramel Dipping SauceChocolate Madeleines
Notes
To make them
Serve dusted with icing sugar and edible glitter or better still some salted caramel dipping sauce. It is Friday after all.
Do you have any chocolatey favourites? What do you dip your madeleines into?

Lucky you! Those products look so nice. I am a sucker for nice packaging, so despite not being the biggest chocoholic ever I would have been whapping out the plastic to get all of those! I Do like cocoa though and what a nice recipe for it. Bookmarking, pinning etc! I even have a dusty old madeleine tin I could use. . 🙂
