Spring happens to be one of my favourite seasons. I love all the beautiful colours of the new flowers that bloom and the blossom on the trees. I also love Easter because, well, CHOCOLATE!! Easter chocolate is the best chocolate, official!!
Easter Preparations
When I was approached by Pantry House to choose a few items to review it was a tougher decision than I imagined because they had so many mouthwatering products and gifts. In the end I decided I wanted to choose something that I could do with the children. I have baked with all of them since they were very small and it’s something they still get excited about today.
Katie Bakes – Gingerbread Man Easter Baking Kit
The Katie Bakes Gingerbread Man kit contains a foolproof baking mix, gingerbread man cutter, white writing icing, decorations and a wooden spoon.
All that we needed to add to the mix was melted butter and golden syrup.
The instructions say the kit will make 12 gingerbread men, but as you can see, we managed to make a few more (some were eaten before I had a chance to turn my camera on!).
Easter Chocolates
We always do an Easter Hunt on Easter Sunday morning, so I like to collect novelty chocolates for them to search for. I spotted the Spring Daffodil Belgian chocolates and thought they would be a pretty addition to the hunt. They also had Easter chicks and eggs. You would not believe how hard it has been to not dive right in and eat these but so far I have resisted! They smell so good.
I also selected the Infinity Brand Easter Egg Design Drawstring Bag of Milk Chocolate Eggs. These will be perfect for our Easter Egg hunt and should definitely keep them searching for a long time as it contains lots of lovely bright coloured foil-covered eggs.
Mrs Darlingtons Extra Jam Raspberry Jam
As an extra treat we received two jars of Mrs Darlingtons Extra Jam Raspberry Jam along with a recipe card for Raspberry slices. We chose to gift our jam to friends and they confirmed it was as delicious as it looked.
Pantry House has a large range of Fine Foods available to order online to top up your food cupboard with pulses, pasta and rice, jams and chutneys, cereals, cakes and biscuits, snacks and drinks, as well as special gift products. You will be completely spoilt for choice, but you’ll be so happy you found them.
I want those jams and cute gingerbread men ? The kit definitely has some nice goodies! Looks like Pantry House has a great collection, will have to check out their site??
Exactly, if you can’t have treats at Easter then when can you? x
Happy Easter in advance! Those gingerbread cookies look so adorable. They just add to the super-cute festive vibes.
Thank you, Happy Easter to you too. We love a Gingerbread Man!!
Each gift has its uniqueness. My favorite would be raspberry jam.
I love Raspberry jam on a big wedge of bread and butter, yummy!
Ginger cookies sound pretty good for Easter. Kids will love this.
Ginger cookies sound good any time of the year if you ask me 🙂
That is such a cute cookie-baking mix! And yes, life IS better with chocolate. Those little chocolate eggs wrapped in colorful foil make me homesick for Easter in Germany, where we would always have them when I was a kid.
Oh wow, my Aunt used to live in Germany and I always remember the Easter gifts she would send to us. I bet Easter in Germany is so pretty x
Those cookies really look good – hope you have a nice Easter Holiday 🙂
They were delicious, they didn’t last long that’s for sure. Thank you, Happy Easter to you too x
Oh, I love good jams! Those cookies look adorable too! what a fun easter box from Pantry House!
It was a lovely box of goodies, it has certainly made for lots of fun with the children x
These are great Easter goods. I haven’t really finished planning but we’re planning on baking some Easter bunny cookies. Love those Easter chocolates.
I think we are going to make more gingerbread but next time maybe Easter Eggs 🙂
