Well it’s not really a big secret, but we were asked to review chocolate, I know, I know the sacrifices I make for my job as a blogger. Well it turns out the chocolate wasn’t for me, or the children, but for my Dad, and my hubby, who’s known as Tall Dad on the blog. It came in the form of two fabulous gift hampers for them for Fathers Day. So as I can’t actually test the chocolate (that really wouldn’t be fair, would it?) I am just going to give you a flavour of what in the hampers, and my thoughts on them.
Now I am originally from Derbyshire, and very near to where they make Thorntons, so have a fondness for the brand. I have tested Thorntons chocolate vigorously over the years {Ahem, all in the name of being a local chocoholic you understand…} Well as I say I am a real lover of chocolate, and Thorntons is definitely one of the brands that I love.
Here are the two hampers that we have been sent, first up, my Dad.
The No Added Sugar Gift Bag Selection (£24.99)
My Dad is a diabetic, and has recently been on a health kick that has seem him not only lose weight, but helped him with certain aspects of his health. Now I know that this hamper will be a terrific treat for him, and one that he will love. He certainly deserves it! It comes with a great selection all enclosed within a reusable cloth bag. I’m sure it will last him a long time too!
Contains:
• No Added Sugar Assortment (415g)
• No Added Sugar Caramel and Fudge Box (165g)
• No Added Sugar Vanilla Toffee Bag (100g)
• No Added Sugar Mint Truffle Bag (115g)
• No Added Sugar Turkish Delight Bar
• No Added Sugar Vanilla Fudge Bar
• No Added Sugar Dark Chocolate Bar (75g)
• No Added Sugar Assortment Bag (115g)
• No Added Sugar Brazil Nut Toffee Bag (100g)
• No Added Sugar Milk Chocolate Bar (75g)
Perfect, I think the girls can’t wait to give it to him.
Onto Tall Dad, he has been sent : The Best Dad Collection (£29.99)
I so hope he’s going to share some of these, as there is a great selection of goodies. It’s all tied up, in a organza wrap so looks a great gift, even with a chocolate gift tag that can be personalised for free.

Pre-iced ‘Worlds Best Dad!’ Alphabet Truffles

So you are in on our Fathers day secret treats for the two important men in my life, they really do deserve it! Don’t say a word 😉

I wont tell a soul. Great gifts. My father in law is also diabetic too. I have my husband’s birthday, our wedding anniversary and father’s day just days apart so always grateful for ideas like these.

Hehe, they look like great Father’s Day treats. I’m tempted, it’s always so hard to buy for them!
