15 December 2021 at 11:51PM in I won! I won! I won!

Thanks to @hertzyabazas for posting the competition! I've never won anything on an advent until now.

This came in the post today after I won on the Callebaut advent about a week ago - hadn't had any confirmation email etc in case anyone else is waiting too.

The blanket is a nice surprise as I was just expecting chocolate - it's very soft and fleece lined too, so this will be my new snuggly sofa binge-watch partner! There's also 4 bags of their chocolate (dark, milk, caramel white, and ruby) which I think is intended to be used in cooking but will probably not make it that far...
