Good Afternoon!
I know it's a good couple of weeks since Valentine's Day and I did have my Valentine's gift of Colin the Caterpillar. I wanted to share with you how tasty this loved up caterpillar was 🐛 💕 🍫.

I do love a Colin the Caterpillar and I was hoping for the mini Colin's rather than a giant one. I know from experience how large and filling they can be. Yes, I know these are for sharing and not for one person to eat to themselves in one sitting, but I am such a chocoholic and I know I could take the majority of this down (which I did)! I did give my husband Colin's bottom and a couple of feet. The face and the feet are solid white chocolate and that in itself fills a hole. However, the chocolate roll and chocolate coating os so tasty. Really has a nice rich chocolatey flavour. The sponge is light and the chocolate buttercream is rich in chocolatey goodness and it goes really well with the sponge.
Needless to say, I did devour what what left after I gave my husband his slice. I'm glad I didn't have a Valentine's Connie the Caterpillar too because I know I would have eaten her up as well. Well let's face it, I would have had to have give Colin his sweetheart to join him!
