With a rich, milk chocolate shell and luxuriously luscious double cream centre that's blended with organic butter laced with British Burnt Faith Brandy and a hint of winter spices, Russell & Atwell's new Christmas Cream chocolates are the ultimate treat this festive season.

Made from 100% real ingredients, and never with palm oil, these hand-finished fresh chocolates are created with Fino de Aroma Colombian cocoa and have Russell & Atwell's famous 'double crack' bite sensation.  Each chocolate has a thin outer chocolate shell that once cracked open, leads to its smooth, scrumptious and creamy centre packed with festive flavours, finishing with a deeply indulgent bottom layer of chocolate.

The chocolates are a collaboration with Burnt Faith, the recently launched first dedicated British Brandy House, and continues Russell & Atwell's commitment to working with British food and drink producers.

Simon Wright, founder of Burnt Faith, said: “We're a brandy company, so chocolate is a whole new world for us, but when Russell & Atwell approached us, we were excited to explore the idea and having tasted chocolates with our brandy in, well they're something else!”

Steve Russell, co-founder of Russell & Atwell added, “We've combined two classic festive flavours - brandy butter and winter spices - into a moreish, creamy centre. It's Christmas in a chocolate!”

Russell & Atwell Christmas Cream chocolates will be available from 1st November at russellandatwell.com.

Russell & Atwell use the highest quality sustainable ingredients from small ethical, predominantly British producers. Their chocolates are made from responsibly sourced cocoa, fresh organic British cream and butter, Essex Borage and Salisbury Plain wildflower honey and just a pinch of Dorset Sea Salt. This award-winning combination creates a moreish blend of taste and texture, making every bite a truly indulgent experience.

With British honey a key ingredient in their chocolate, Russell & Atwell also supports the Buglife charity which plants vital wildflower B-Lines for bees and other pollinators with every pouch sold.

Founded by former Cadbury and Godiva employees Giles Atwell and Steve Russell who have a combined 35 years experience of working on world famous chocolate brands and 103 years heritage in the industry, Russell & Atwell became a runaway success on BBC1's Dragon Den, securing investment from entrepreneurs Steven Bartlett and Peter Jones.
