Hotel Chocolat

This is definitely not your usual chocolate. I first came across Hotel Chocolat on an impromptu visit to Milton Keynes and was instantly very angry with myself for not finding this wonderful company earlier.

It was the chocolate slabs that drew me in. These are not your usual bars of chocolate. They're not divided into squares like a standard bar, making you feel that to eat more than a row would be far too greedy. Oh no. These are huge, whole slabs of chocolate that you can gnaw on to your heart's content. Bliss.

Now I'm a total chocaholic and this is my idea of heaven. Rather romantic too - perfect to nibble together on a cosy night in. The slabs come in loads of mouthwatering flavours such as rocky road, cookies & caramel, strawberry meringue and chilli & orange.

If that's not enough for you, Hotel Chocolat have a huge range of other chocolate goodies to choose from, all made from exceptionally good cocoa and packaged beautifully. All their products make ideal gifts and are a lot more unusual than a standard box of chocolates.

My favourites include the dipping adventure for two - 2 tubs of chocolate, a variety of scrumptious dippers, bamboo dipping tongs and a survival guide to dipping - the perfect present for a chocaholic couple, and their liquid chocolate (for drinking) is to die for.
