Yes I know, to even mention Christmas may seem as if we have gone absolutely bonkers \u2013 we haven\u2019t even broken up for the summer holidays yet! But this, I promise you, is worth mentioning Christmas for.<\/p>\n

After a morning spent with our friends at Waitrose<\/a> Christmas event tasting an array of festive goodies (lucky me!) \u2013 I left with one thing on my mind; I know where I can get one, I just don\u2019t know when\u2026.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you remember the Viennetta adverts<\/a>? The restless hands of the dinner party guests around the table, the anticipation of who will get the extra last slice, the plates all being raised in a hope that they were the lucky one \u2013 remember?<\/p>\n

Well this pud \u2013 quite frankly \u2013 will be lucky if it makes it out of the kitchen and onto the dinner table! What is it? It\u2019s Heston from Waitrose Ultimate Chocolate Bar Dessert.<\/p>\n

I am not even a pudding person (give me a pack of Monster Munch any day!) but even this got me googling when I can actually get my hands on this Chocolate Bar \u00a0\u2013 forget Christmas, I want one now!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Made out of Heston\u2019s favorite childhood chocolate bars (Kit Kat, Mars Bars, Milky Way) this multi tiered creation features layers of chocolate caramel mousse, crunchy chocolate biscuit, gooey salted caramel and nougat mousse, all transformed into, quite simply, heaven! And the Willie Wonka-esque packaging gives it that Veruca \u2018\u201dI want it now!\u201d Salt appeal.<\/p>\n

The other reason I am soooooo excited and effervescing about this festive pud is the price \u2013 \u00a39.99. For a treat to share with family and friends over Christmas and the New Year (you might want to buy at least two) \u2013 I think it is great value! Scoffing it in the kitchen on your own might make it a pricey indulgence\u00a0 – but I\u2019ll try and be good!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes, Heston seems to have done it again this year but there are other puddings that must be mentioned as great family sharing desserts, easy on the pocket, and that the kids can get involved with.<\/p>\n

Waitrose Chocolate and Chestnut Eton Mess (\u00a35.99) with the top layer of meringue whole and separate – ready to be smashed and mashed by little (or big!) hands as well as the Waitrose Snowman Cheesecake (\u00a34.99) \u2013 complete with a sachet of coloured chocolate beans the kids can either use to decorate and give the snowman a personality, scoff before you\u2019ve even got the cheesecake out or use as bartering for that last slice of Ultimate Chocolate Bar Dessert\u2026.<\/p>\n

Although we have to wait until the 12th<\/sup> December for The Snowman Cheesecake and Eton Mess to be available to buy – the star of the show is thankfully available 20th<\/sup> October \u2013 I feel a Veruca Salt moment coming on\u2026..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
