While on holiday in Whitby I wanted to pick up some spooky snacks for review - but the majority were just things I'd seen before.
It was a lovely blue-sky day so there were no Dracula's to be seen (and we left before sun-down because we are smart)
On the walk up to the wonderful ruined abbey I spotted this little sign for an ornate looking chocolate shop
And while it's more fudge & toffee specialists - they do sell some tourist bait for me! The website seems to be down now - but they have a phone number and Facebook if you wanted to see more
What's in that window display?
Coffins! I bumped my head on the way in so all conversations automatically became a bit awkward so instead of finding out if I'd like a coffin I decided just to go for one of the themed bars - as I could tell that they'd be luxury chocolate even if the flavours probably were quite familiar.
We waited until we were back home so the cats got a look-in too.
And the little sugar ghosts and pumpkins were a nice touch too!
The bar is a really creamy white chocolate (similar to the classic Thornton's style - but thicker) and the pumpkin was a sparkle covered milk chocolate - very light and friendly and went well with the white. While these are clearly designed to be easily transported gifts it was a nice luxurious treat - and not too spooky.
Unlike the wall of masks in the shop a few doors down!
Whitby really is gearing up for the spooky season, but I'll stick to the snacks thanks!
