Chocolate, Chocolate, Chocolate


I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about Hotel Chocolat so when they recently opened a branch near me I just had to try their chocolate. Now this was all in the name of research, you understand, and to do a review just for you dear reader. Aren’t I good to you? Well um...ok, so anyway, moving on…

Hotel Chocolat have a fantastic selection of every type of chocolate you could want. Bars and bars of chocolate with different flavours and percentage of cocoa, boxes of beautifully hand finished selections, fruit-filled chocolates that burst in your mouth, pralines, unique slabs of fused chocolate, drinking chocolate, chocolate, chocolate everywhere. A feast for the eyes and for the mouth. The chocolate is smooth, it’s rich, it’s creamy and quite honestly it’s delicious. Perhaps the perfect foodie gift this Christmas?

Oh Dear. I really shouldn't have read that post until after I got home. I'll just pray the Kensington branch has shut early tonight or I won't be able to stop myself going in!

Hee hee, Sorry Ros, I've tempted you again!

I was so disappointed by hotel chocolat - there is a huge choice but I didn't think it was the holy grail of chocolate people had built it up to be!

Still, it's cheaper than thorntons and the peach and raspberry cremes were delish! I had that raspberry creme mini slab though and I have to say freeze dried berries are WRONGness on a bun!
