Easter Gift Bag by Robins and Sons of Wales Highly Recommended by Whom You Know! Easter Bunny, We're Talking to You!

Easter Bunny, we know not every child in the world goes to visit you at the mall like Santa Claus to tell you what their little heart desires, so we looked all over the world to find the finest chocolate, and you should know about this fantastically delicious and gorgeous Easter Gift Bag by Andrea Robins and her family.  We highly recommend this gift bag highlighted by their bestselling, delicious and decadent Belgian 70% dark chocolate treats, which are, in three words: to-die-for. In addition to the goodies inside, the gift bag has a ‘sunshine’ yellow tissue inlay and is finished with a pretty 'flower' pattern yellow ribbon, and enchanting charm. 


Treat your loved one to a mixture of tastes and textures, including: 1 x Very Berry Easter Egg Bar - topped with sweet strawberries, tart raspberries and crunchy meringue, which is Peachy's absolute top pick not only in this entire Easter Gift Bag but also across the entire brand.   If you own a restaurant, you should seriously consider adding this to your dessert arsenal.  That might make us want to review you!

1 x Orange Chocolate Crackle heart - infused with natural Valencian orange oil extract and topped with finely crushed fruit candy cane (unique and moreish, and definitely one of our bestsellers). 1 x Nut Clusters - whole and chopped, caramelised hazelnuts enrobed in rich 70% dark chocolate. 1 x Salted Caramel Nibble Slim - encrusted with crunchy salted caramel nibs and Mediterranean sea salt, the perfect combination of salty and sweet in every bite! 1 x Heart shaped slate coaster.  

And maybe, Easter Bunny, if you are a very good customer this year, just maybe Andrea will make bunny rabbits out of chocolate next year!






Robins and Sons are a small, family run UK business, specialising (you know over there they use s instead of z often and we'll humor them, but not humour them with their spelling!) in luxury handmade chocolate gifts and treats. Inspired by a trip to New York, the source of so much that is great in the world, during which Andrea Robins (founder), sampled a seasonal delicacy called ‘Peppermint Bark’, the journey from government employee to self-employed chocolatier began. 

Holding firm to the belief that the secret behind delicious, high quality products, is delicious, high quality ingredients, every component of their 25+ products have been meticulously sourced from around the globe for superiority in taste, texture and appearance. The company also insist upon natural colours and flavours throughout, using only natural peppermint and Valencian orange oil extracts in their Robins and Sons Signature ‘Chocolate Crackle TM’, and fragrant Sicilian lemon oil in their Sicilian Lemon Crunch.


Products are primarily Belgian chocolate (with the exception of a single estate, Ugandan ‘Purist’ 80% Dark chocolate range), and although their sliced oranges may be imported from Rioja region in Spain and certain toppings from France, all items are lovingly mixed, dipped, topped, decorated and packed by ‘Robins and Sons’, at their family home in Wales.

Primarily an online retail business selling through their own website www.RobinsandSons.com (offering worldwide delivery), and other major online selling platforms, they also have a growing ‘Corporate’ division, where most recently, their Hot Chocolate Gift Boxes were chosen by the Acura Automobile Division of Honda Motors America, to help promote a corporate event.

Dipped Oranges by Robins and Sons Highly Recommended by Whom You Know! Dark Chocolate and Citrus Combined Spell Success on Your Palate!



If you thought spring was here, you're wrong because we just checked and it's 36F out with a windchill that makes it 23F: perfect time to stay in and indulge in citrus delights to build your immune system and keep you healthy!  Recently, Peachy Deegan was dreaming up new ways to enjoy her citrus-enhanced Lemon Olive Oil by Olio Verde, and she had it angelically on some sauteed spinach, which was wonderful (and the angel of nutrition that sits on Peachy's shoulder invisibly from the Bloomberg administration named after Georgina's dad applauded.  How lucky New York was to have Mayor Bloomberg for 12 years.)  Then as a follow up for dessert we had this incredible concoction and we must say dark chocolate of this quality by Robins and Sons of the UK does enhance life a lot, including these oranges!  
Prepared in the Rioja region of Spain, the sweetest, ripest oranges are picked, sliced and gently poached in sugar syrup, to remove any bitterness and toughness from the rind making them the most extraordinary embellished oranges you've ever had.  Then, back at 'Robins and Sons' headquarters, each is hand-dipped in rich Belgian 70% dark chocolate which is 100% delicious according to Peachy Deegan.  
The result is a mixture of tastes and textures, the crack of the thin, crisp, chocolate shell, followed by the delicious flavour burst of sweet, juicy oranges. 


Attractively presented in a transparent circular box, and finished with gift ribbon, these candied orange discs make a beautiful and impressive gift or treat.  What an impressive idea by Andrea Robins, executed so well!

KEEPING WALES ON TOP: WHOM YOU KNOW CELEBRATES WELSH STYLE INTELLIGENCE and EXCELLENCE with The Hot Chocolate Gift Bag by Robins and Sons, Highly Recommended by Whom You Know and Perfect For Our Next Blizzard!

Did you have the best time ever during the blizzard in the Northeast of America last week?
Your answer is obviously not if you don't know Andrea Robins and her Hot Chocolate from Wales. 
We're predisposed to like anything that has to do with whales or Wales because of our genetic motivation for it and the Whalers, sadly now extinct but certainly the original inspiration for NHL Peachy.  Before the games, Peachy Deegan always went to Munson's chocolates in the Hartford Civic Center, and if you don't think chocolate is one of the major food groups, we feel sorry for you.  Andrea has great ways to eat chocolate, but during this cold weather we suggest drinking it as well.  She doesn't simply do a single product: she goes the entire way and does a Hot Chocolate Gift Bag (by the way you can give one to yourself).  
It includes 2 solid Belgian Hot Chocolate stirrers (two milk and two white chocolate) that turn into indulgent luxurious beverages that can be served with or without the Belgian chocolate chips and mini pink and white marshmallows, which are also included. 
Boiling water and pouring the hot water from your copper kettle (ours) into the glass mugs included and then swirling around the chocolate on a stick is one of life's pleasures that is missing from your life if you haven't done it.  This is true, authentic hot chocolate that you make yourself in front of your own eyes in a moment.  Peachy's magically disappeared quicker than the Lotus we just featured.  W
hen the delectable edible treats are gone, you're still left with a sturdy and attractive jute bag (ideal small size carry bag or fashionable alternative to a lunch box), a stylish barista style glass and handy spice jar, both of which can be used time and time again.  We experimented and flavored the white chocolate with coffee and whiskey-not included but also smashing enhancements.
Includes: 1 x Hot Chocolate Glass Mug. 1 x Hot Chocolate Stirrer (Milk chocolate). 1 x Hot Chocolate Stirrer (White chocolate).1 x Jar of mini marshmallows (10g) . 1 x Treat size bag of Belgian milk chocolate chips (35g). 
Blizzards are exactly what you want Mover and Shaker Lonnie Quinn to forecast when you've the right hot chocolate, with all the bells and whistles.
A wonderful way to warm up with luxury, premium chocolate that you can drink, from Wales!

New Column: KEEPING WALES ON TOP: WHOM YOU KNOW CELEBRATES WELSH STYLE INTELLIGENCE and EXCELLENCE

We told you in this post with The Irish Handmade Glass Company that we would feature other countries if we see enough brands in that country manufactured and designed with the most competitive quality...we are definitely of Irish and English descent (we checked with ancestry.com and 23andme.com ) and are two-thirds Celtic/Northwestern European (but only 2% French, so draw your own conclusions!) so maybe we are also Scottish and Welsh. Someone from Wales recently impressed us with their phenomenal product line!
