Spring flavours at Hotel Chocolat

New spring collection is out at Hotel Chocolat and they've created some fruity chocolates to give your taste buds something new and exciting. Fruity flavours include:
blueberry & blackcurrant bombes, zingy ganaches with peach, raspberry, cognac & orange, cherry pannacotta, succulent mandarins and raspberries soaked in alcohol on a bed of soft vanilla ganache, strawberries & black pepper and more.

Changing the name of chocolate

Is it fair to change the name of chocolates and sweets?

You remember a marathon? It's not a snickers bar. Some of us still think of them as a marathon!

Starburst were opal fruits in the olden days! Opal fruits made to make your mouth water!

They changed the name of coco pops cereal too, but a wave of dissent made them change their mind!

Chocolate slabs

This has to be the best way of eating chocolate!
Chocolate slabs have been available at Hotel Chocolat for ages but I've just tried their Rocky Road slab and it's out of this world. Imagine smooth creamy chocolate in a slab with lovely chunks of chocolate set into it, and lovely chocolate chip cookie embedded in it too.

It's very delicious and can be eaten as a treat or a snack, or you could share it.
They do mini versions which are a good size if you're after a quick dessert or snack. The large chocolate slabs are ideal for post-dinner party nibbles, or even as a dessert to serve with coffee.

Just imagine how great they'd be for giving as gifts too! They're available in many different flavours too with mixes of flavoured chocolate, dark, milk or white chocolate. With multi-packs available giving you a mixture of types you'll find these make excellent gifts for anyone - including yourself!

Highly recommended and utterly delicious like all of the chocolate at hotel chocolat!

Easter is the best time for chocolate

Is Easter the best time of year for Chocolate? All those lovely easter eggs, cream eggs, and copious amounts of mini eggs?

Or are you bored with the standard easter eggs?

Do you want to have the ultimate easter egg? Hotel Chocolat, one of my favourite chocolate companies has the most amazing range of chocolate eggs in the world.

Most normal easter eggs have thin amounts of chocolate in the shell. Hotel Chocolat buck this trend and give you thick chunky shells which are made with the most delicious chocolate ever.
This quality of chocolate makes the eggs stand out almost as much as the thickness itself! They really are amazing.

They've also got a huge extra thick egg collection too. These are even bigger and have more treats in them too!

You can also win a a free delivery voucher when you take part in hotel Chocolat's easter egg hunt game!

Their easter range includes from
Caramel Milk Egg Sandwich™
You Crack Me Up™ Extra Thick Easter Egg
Serious Dark Fix Egg™ Extra Thick Easter Egg
Rocky Road to Caramellow™ Extra Thick Easter Egg
Your Eggsellency™ Extra Thick Easter Egg
Milk & Hazelnut Praline Egg Sandwich
The Eggsibitionist™ Extra Thick Easter Egg
40% Milk Chocolate Engraved Easter Egg
White Fusion Egg Sandwich
Milk Almond & Orange Egg Sandwich
Fruit & Nut Dark Egg Sandwich
Dark & Praline Fusion Egg Sandwich
Easter Lolly Selection x 4

Caramel Chocolate Engraved Easter Egg
Extra Large Rocky Road to Caramellow™ Egg
50% Milk Chocolate Engraved Easter Egg
Easter Hamper

Ideas for chocolate fountain party


Why not have a chocolate fountain party? If you've got some friends who love chocolate then why not arrange a party where the centre piece is the fountain.
You could ask friends to bring things to dip into the fountain - such as brownies, fruit, biscuits, marshmellows - whatever they like!

Why not use the image on the left for the invitation?
Write in the where and when and if you require them to bring anything
