Discussions of the royal family’s preferred desserts come as people ready themselves to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee this summer, marking another decade of the queen’s reign. Former royal chef Darren McGrady appeared on ITV to discuss Queen Elizabeth’s snacking habits, per the Daily Mail, so that anyone could emulate the royal lifestyle at home. If you’re looking to pay homage to the queen herself, you might want to try a box of dark chocolates — which McGrady says are hidden in the royal’s bedroom in case of a late-night craving (via the Daily Mail).
“The Queen loves chocolate. Anything dark chocolate — the darker the better, so she has little snacks and little boxes of chocolates in her room,” Darren said.
If you want to get a little more specific, try thinking floral. Chocolatier Adam Lee, who works at the London-based Charbonnel et Walker, said the queen’s favorite chocolates lean more toward flavored cremes like violet and rose (via The Independent).
