Hotel Chocolat - Everything Sleekster, 355g

Product Information

We also know that sometimes simplicity is best. Our Milk and White Chocolate Batons are testament to this. Understated yet satisfying, our batons are bite-size pieces of solid chocolate heaven. For me, I see these as a haul of treats I wouldn't able to justify otherwise, at the prices of "normal" chocolate. It will also invariably last a lot longer because, as they're both fancy and relatively rich, we eat less.

If you’re looking for a little bit of everything, this sleekster is just crying out to claim a place in your heart. We’ve curated 27 icons of the Hotel Chocolat world — all chosen by you. With a variety of white, milk, and dark chocolate to suit every mood, this star-studded selection contains every taste and texture your taste buds might be craving. For Christmas and Easter every year we end up being bought masses of chocolate that takes months to get through, so I felt fairly confident in knowing chocolate wasn't going to be dangerous. There is probably chocolate in my treat tin now that's gone beyond its best before date, so what's the difference. I might be getting older, or I might be living beyond my means, but I'm at the point now where if I'm going to have chocolate I want it to be nice. If I'm going to wolf down the calories, I want to know the running I will then have to do to justify that was worth it. Whether you’re in the mood for something indulgent yet traditional, like our insatiably smooth Mousse au Chocolat or fancy something a little bit different, the Everything Luxe has you covered.

What to put in homemade gift hampers?

Thankfully, Wales Online editor Ruth Mosalski has found a way to still get your hands on the best Hotel Chocolat gifts for your loved ones this year without having to remortgage to do so! When a full dessert is just too much, a bite-size chocolate rendition can be the perfect way to satisfy that sweet craving. This collection of 44 luxury chocolates embraces the aromas, flavours and textures of your favourite tarts, cakes and bakes — from maple-laced Pecan Pie to a creamy Raspberry Panna Cotta. Whatever dessert takes your fancy, there’s a Hotel Chocolat interpretation to suit. They may be petite, but these luxurious little pieces of heaven yield big flavours and textures that are oh-so-satisfying. And, never compromising on the cocoa, each morsel contains super-smooth milk, dark or white chocolate for a truly indulgent tasting experience. The only thing that maybe, if you look really closely, you might notice is that a few of the chocolates in the largest "everything" box which had a best before of February was a slight white coat on it. Google tells me this is called a bloom, either of fat or sugar, but the good news? It's still totally safe to eat. A chocolatier's blog post told me it's caused by the reaction of the sugar in the chocolate with moisture and "despite the change in appearance, bloomed chocolate is still safe to eat, although the texture and taste may be slightly altered".
