Five decadent Easter chocolate recipes

But that doesn’t mean us grown-ups shouldn’t treat ourselves to some delicious puddings and snacks using really decent chocolate.
The high-street hot chocolate shop Knoops has nailed the art of introducing both kids and adults to different strengths of cacao. My daughter is fast becoming quite the chocolate connoisseur, gradually working her way up their extensive menu. It’s safe to say she’s well on her way to aficionado status.
