Whittaker's is releasing a limited-edition Gingerbread block so the Xmas countdown is now on

Does this mean the festive season has begun?!

Whittaker's Chocolate has officially kicked off the holiday season by adding a new limited edition Gingerbread block to their range, and I can't wait to demolish it in one sitting!

Gingerbread blocks will be available in blocks and made from Whittaker's classic cocoa Creamy Milk chocolate and a mix of spiced gingerbread pieces mixed throughout. To add a little extra festive flavour to the blocks crystallised ginger and golden syrup have been added to sweeten up even the grumpiest grinches this holiday season.

Whittaker's have been super busy lately after the release of their latest Hazella release, but that hasn't stopped them from getting into the holiday spirit, and now they have announced this new glorious creation.

Tamra Lindsay, Whittaker's Brand Manager, says the chocolatiers are pleased to offer a new way for Chocolate Lovers to celebrate the festive season.

"Gingerbread Block is the tastiest way to spread some cheer this Christmas. Use it as an end-of-year thank you, stocking stuffer or even a Halloween treat – it really lends itself to any occasion," she said.

Tamra added: "It makes for a quick and easy option if you want to give someone a gift, and whether it's being shared with a loved one or is just something from you to you, the Limited Edition Gingerbread Block is too special not to share!"

The chocolate company say that the Gingerbread block is going to be a "limited edition" to their range of chocolate so it won't be around for long. I'll be stocking up for some extra last-minute gifting ideas. I know I'll be stocking up with how forgetful I can be!

Gingerbread blocks will be available in stores up and down the country from Monday, the 31 of October.
