Welcome to #Choctoberfest 2019

Hi guys! So I am taking part in #choctoberfest again this year 🙂 You can find all the information that you need to know about #Choctoberfest and details of the giveaway below. You can also find the list of recipes that have been shared by some of the bloggers taking part today. I can’t wait to have a look through them all, chocolate heaven!

I’m so pleased to be taking part again this year as it has given me the kick up the bum I needed to get some fresh recipes on the blog. I’ve had so many orders for the cake making side of my business lately (you can see some of my recent cake orders here) that I’ve not really been doing any baking or cooking for pleasure. Over the weekend though I made three delicious chocolate treats for you all. You will have to wait until tomorrow for my first recipe but I thought I would share a little sneak peek of what’s to come!

#Choctoberfest is an annual recipe-sharing event. I’m joining other food bloggers from around the world to create delicious chocolate recipes. This year, over 70 bloggers are joining together for a week full of chocolate cakes, pies, cookies, puddings, tarts, candies, and more. You can follow along by searching for the hashtag #Choctoberfest on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter. Or, simply follow any of the participating bloggers listed below. We also have some awesome sponsors, who make #Choctoberfest possible every year. Our sponsors have banded together to put together a delicious prize pack worth over $400! Here’s what you get if you win! (Scroll down to enter.)
