End of Season Selection from Hotel Chocolat

Suzie — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 18:24:22 +0000

It may come as no surprise that I love chocolate, but even I can’t eat or sample everything from every shop! This is why the End of Season Chocolate Selection from Hotel Chocolat is such a fantastic idea, a selection of the gorgeous chocolate recipes that are close to the sell by dates.

You get a balanced selection of chocolates from the range, you don’t get to choose it’s a lucky dip – with everybody being lucky.

I love the End of Season box because you get to try new chocolates that you might not normally choose and I have found some new favourites just from this “sample selection”, and the price is amazing for the amount of chocolate you get. Not to mention the fact that it’s rather fun not knowing what will arrive!

You can buy the Hotel Chocolat End of Season Selection here, but hurry they always sell out quick.

£8.50 for at least 400g of luxury chocolate.

Hotel Chocolat’s Easter Egg Sandwiches, four cute decorated chocolate Easter eggs in four different flavours.

These are not your normal Easter eggs but two slices of flavoured chocolate with chocolate egg shell halves squished into them, and placed back to back to create an Easter Egg Sandwich.

Four distinct flavour combinations make up the Easter Egg Sandwich range, each with a quirky sandwich name. The packaging is fun too, designed to look like sandwich boxes with a little window to show the chocolate sandwich inside.

The flavour choices:

Creamed Caramel Club Egg Sandwich – Slices of milk chocolate fused with white chocolate and studded with caramel drops are sandwiched between two caramel milk chocolate shells.
Seriously Dark Wrap Egg Sandwich – 70% cocoa dark chocolate shells decorated with stripes of piped chocolate and embedded in dark chocolate slabs blended with cocoa nibs, for extra texture, crunch and flavour. The dairy free and vegan option.

Smooth Praline Toasty Egg Sandwich – 40% cocoa milk chocolate shells, pressed into slices of praline-marbled milk chocolate.

Each dinky egg weighs 100g and is 10cm high and just under 7.5cm at its widest point.

The eggs decorated with bright colours use white chocolate and white chocolate coloured with natural colourings.

Fun Easter Eggs with one for everybody, packed with flavour and beautifully decorated.

£8.00 per Easter Egg Sandwich or three for £21.00.

Suzie — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 18:31:38 +0000

The Eggsibitionist extra thick Easter Egg from Hotel Chocolat, two chunky milk chocolate half shells filled with a selection of filled mini egg chocolates.

Made from Hotel Chocolat’s special, 40% cocoa house blend, milk chocolate the extra thick shells are up to three times thicker than normal Easter eggs, each half is wrapped in foil to keep them fresh.

Hiding inside the egg halves is a selection of twelve filled mini eggs, the same gorgeous little eggs as in the Easter H-Box, Seekster Easter Egg Box Selection and Chocolate Quail Eggs box, but without the alcohol. So if you missed out on those you can try them in this egg.

The egg is approximately 147mm high and weighs a hefty 400g, presented in a designer box the Hotel Chocolat’s Extra Thick Easter Eggs are at the luxury end of the Easter eggs available this year and make very impressive gifts.

Dairy Free Dark Chocolate Half Easter Egg

Suzie — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 18:12:07 +0000

Hotel Chocolat’s Dark Chocolate Eggsposé egg, half an Extra Thick Easter egg with eight gianduja mini eggs inside.

This is the dairy free Easter egg from the Eggsposé range, one of five half eggs new for 2011.

Eggsposé a play on the word exposé, meaning to reveal or uncover, and they do live up to their name – the stylish box the eggs are presented in have windows on the front so you can see the mini eggs or chocolates inside, tempting you to try them.

The Extra Thick shell is made from Hotel Chocolat’s award winning house, 70% cocoa, dark chocolate and stands 157mm tall and is about 4mm thick, which doesn’t should very thick but is actually two or three times thicker than other eggs.

For me the real stars of the show are the gianduja mini eggs, gianduja is dark chocolate blended with finely ground hazelnuts and sugar to create a smooth paste, the eight mini eggs are in cast from same dark chocolate as the egg shell and then encrusted with sugar crystals. As you bite into the eggs the sugar adds a crunchy texture followed by the snap of the dark chocolate shell, then comes the beautiful gianduja filling, with the consistency of a very dense mousse – which is so smooth and creamy I had to check this really was a vegan egg! Absolutely beautiful.

Fine chocolate shaped into a chic egg shell and eight mini eggs, worth the price just for the gianduja mini eggs.

£14.00, 225g.

Labelled: Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Alcohol Free, Vegan and Dairy Free.

Giant Easter Egg The MILK Ostrich Egg

Suzie — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 18:55:12 +0000

Previously known as the The Rocky Road to Caramellow Ostrich Egg, the giant MILK Ostrich egg is back and just as tempting!

An extra large Easter egg with a selection of twenty two chocolates, this egg is just one of the two biggest eggs from the Hotel Chocolat Easter range.

The immense Easter egg, measures 285mm tall (that’s just under eleven inches, in old money) and are called Ostrich Easters eggs because they are about the size and weight of real Ostrich eggs!

The two chunky chocolate shells are made from 40% cocoa milk chocolate, the egg is then covered with more chocolate chunks, crispies and cookie pieces and the covered in more chocolate and decorated. This big Easter egg also comes with a selection of chocolates inside the egg box, including two mini chocolate slabs, an Easter bunny lolly and a collection of mellow chocolates in sixteen different flavours.

I am a big fan of Hotel Chocolat’s milk chocolate, really smooth and mellow with a good cocoa flavour. I have not tasted all of the other flavour combinations, but this collection would be the perfect way to sample them.

Stylishly presented “nesting” in a box of soft paper twirls, above a drawer containing the Easter chocolate selection – this really is a chocolate Easter egg to impress.

£65.00, approximately 1400g of luxury chocolates.

Labelled: Vegetarian and Alcohol Free.

Easter Egg Hunt Eggs

Suzie — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 17:40:04 +0000

Easter egg hunts are just lots of fun, I love them and they are a great activity to keep both the kids and adults entertained over the Easter weekend.

There are a few different ways to run your own Easter egg hunts, depending on the age of the children (or adults), the amount of children and how many eggs you want to buy or you can just pop along to an organised egg hunt in your area.

One of the most important elements to your own Easter egg hunt, apart from enjoying yourself of course, are the eggs.

Hollow Easter Egg Hunt Eggs

Foil wrapped hollow chocolate eggs are good for a Easter egg hunts for a few reasons; if you are having a hunt outdoors the eggs are protected from the elements, there isn’t too much chocolate in them so kids can have more than one and they are less messy if the crack or get squished.

If you are after lots of small(ish) eggs, Hotel Chocolat has two boxes of eggs perfect for Easter eggs hunts; the Oodles of Eggs box contains 50 foil wrapped eggs and the Eggstravaganza Crate, 17 eggs and a large extra thick Easter egg. All the small eggs are 40% milk chocolate and are great bulk buy options.

Montezuma’s also have a box of foil wrapped eggs, The Big Egg Hunt box contains 20 eggs in a mixture milk and white chocolate, all the chocolate is organic.

All of these eggs are about the same size as a standard hens eggs, just the right size for little hands.

Cadburys have two types of hollow eggs ideal for hiding about the house or garden, the Cadbury Eggheads, these are brightly coloured with cheeky faces on the foil and come in an assortment of six designs.

The other eggs are the Cadbury Treasure Eggs, these come in three different flavours – although hollow they do have two mini eggs inside.

Both types of eggs are much larger that the Hotel Chocolat and Montezuma’s eggs, the Eggheads are 105mm tall and the Treasure Eggs are 135mm tall – much easier to find in the undergrowth and because they are sold as single eggs you can get the specific amount you need.

Filled Easter Egg Hunt Eggs

Foil wrapped filled mini eggs are also great for egg hunts, these normally come in two sizes the classic Cadbury Crème egg, smaller than a hen’s egg and the small mini eggs, these are normally smaller versions of the mini eggs and are half as small again.

Thornton’s have three different flavoured Treat Eggs, Marc de Champagne, Melts Praline and Melts Caramel – each egg is sold separately and they also have a Easter Egg Hunt Basket filled with a selection of the Treat Eggs, eighteen eggs in total.

I really like this basket; it has a very traditional look about it and would make a great Easter display filled with Easter eggs and can be used year after year.

Probably the best known mini eggs are from Cadburys, available in most shops, newsagents and supermarket around Easter. But if you want to buy in bulk the best place to get them is online, both Cadbury Creme Eggs and Cadbury Caramel Mini Eggs can be bought in boxes of 48 from Cadbury Gifts Direct.

Also from Cadbury are the Easter Egg Trail Packs which contains eighteen (small) mini eggs and the Easter Egg Trail Kit a hamper of chocolate with a selection of different sized hollow and filled eggs, both contain everything you need for your own big or small event.

chocolatebuttons also have bulk buy options for Mars, Galaxy and Lindt filled eggs in their filled Easter eggs section.

Lots and Lots of Mini Mini Eggs

Every now and then you just need a kilo or two if mini eggs and luckily you can buy them, both chocolatebuttons and The Chocolate Trading Company have foiled mini eggs by the bucketload, well in bags and drums.

The Lindt mini eggs are the smallest; each egg is about 25mm tall, solid milk chocolate and are in an assortment of different coloured foil wrappers. The eggs are available in three different pack sizes, a 200g bag, a 1kg bag or a massive 2kg drum.

The Chocolate Trading Company’s own brand eggs are larger; each egg is 40mm, filled milk, white and dark chocolate and are also in an assortment of different coloured foil wrappers. These are only available in a 1kg bag.

You can of course have any combination of eggs for your Easter egg hunt; whenever I have one I normally have one large Easter egg per child/person, which has their name and they have to find, so everyone gets at least one larger egg and lots of little eggs hollow and filled for everyone to find as they look for their larger eggs. Just have fun with it.

Hotel Chocolat Easter Eggs 2011

Suzie — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 17:57:59 +0000

The 2011 chocolate Easter egg collection, from cocoa grower and chocolatier Hotel Chocolat with some chocolate favourites from previous years and some new designs and styles for this year, Hotel Chocolat, in my opinion, offers the largest and best choice of Easter eggs.

The luxury Easter eggs come in four different sizes, the small Happy eggs, the medium sized Egg Sandwiches, the large Extra Thick eggs and the massive Ostrich eggs. Each size has a selection of different flavours and types of chocolate; this is what gives the collection such variety allowing Hotel Chocolat to produce fun eggs for kids and boozy eggs for adults, vegan and dairy free Easter eggs alongside gluten free and nut free eggs, all from the same range and giving your more choice.

Eggspose

New this year are the Eggsposé eggs, or half Easter eggs, one half of an extra thick Easter egg with a selection of chocolates inside exposed for all to see.

The eggs come in three types of chocolate, 40% milk chocolate with praline mini eggs, white chocolate with little strawberry eggs and the vegan/dairy free 70% dark chocolate with gianduja mini eggs.

Easter Eggs for Kids

Inspired by Hotel Chocolat’s children’s chocolate range are two more chunky half shell eggs, these are the same half Easter eggs as the Eggsposé but featuring Twinkle Toes the ballerina and Nibblatron the chocolate robot, all the chocolate in both eggs is 40% milk chocolate.

Also for children are the three little Happy eggs, they all come with a tub of chocolate shapes and a happy face painted on them – perfect for smiley faces this Easter.

Giant Easter Eggs

The two largest Easter eggs are the gigantic Ostrich eggs, thick chocolate shells with a two layer selection box of Hotel Chocolat chocolates.

They are £65.00 each, both well over one kilo in weight and are very very impressive, they make great gifts for a couple or family as they are so large.

Extra Thick Easter Eggs

The packaging for the extra thick Easter eggs has been redesigned for 2011, gone are the bright and boldly coloured outer sleeves, replaced by more subtle shades to match the chocolate inside and elegantly tied with ribbons round the boxes.

These, very popular, large Easter eggs are two chunky shell halves filled with an assortment of Easter chocolates inside, in a selection milk chocolate and dark chocolate.

A sixth egg has been added for Easter 2011, The Purist Extra Thick Easter Egg.

Easter Egg Sandwiches™

Two Easter egg halves have been squished into two slabs of chocolate and sandwiched back together to create the colourful, fun and tasty Easter Eggs Sandwiches.

These have also had a bit of a makeover this year with new packing and quirky new names, but with the same delicious flavours as before; milk chocolate praline, strawberry white chocolate, dark chocolate (dairy free) and milk chocolate caramel.

These are just the Easter eggs from the Hotel Chocolat Easter range, there are also mini eggs, Easter egg hunt eggs and some wonderful Easter hampers for 2011.

Caramel Scrambled Egg & Salted Caramels

Suzie — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 22:24:32 +0000

A milk caramel chocolate “Scrambled Egg” with six salted caramels from Hotel Chocolat.

Made from caramel flavoured milk chocolate, the egg is decorated with hand piped dark chocolate and naturally coloured white chocolates, giving the “scrambled” look and making each one unique.

The egg has beautiful sweet caramel aroma which escapes when you open the box, the milk chocolate is smooth and creamy with a mellow caramel flavour subtlety changes with each mouthful depending on the amount of white or dark chocolate, so the chocolate is different with each bite.

As if the striking egg wasn’t enough by itself, it also comes with a box of six salted caramel chocolates, each chunky chocolate is square with the a square Union Jack design and finished with the Hotel Chocolat “wax seal” in the same colour as the white chocolate on the egg.

This is my favourite egg so far this year, a good balance of caramel to chocolate, wow factor and wonderful flavour nuances. The Caramel Easter Egg is one of five luxury Scrambled Eggs from Hotel Chocolat. I just wish I could have them all.

£15.00, 220g.

Dairy Free Easter Egg Sandwich

Suzie — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 19:25:19 +0000

Something a little bit different and a bit quirky an Easter Egg sandwich from Hotel Chocolat.

Two, quite thick slabs of 70% cocoa dark chocolate studded with cocoa nibs for crunch and texture, are sandwiched between two elegantly decorated Easter Egg shell halves which are also dark chocolate.

The two halves are then placed back to back in a rather ingenious box that folds out from a triangle to flat, leaving the little sandwich egg standing proudly in the middle.

The chocolate is smooth with a good rich flavour, but is not too strong or over the top, the cocoa nibs give a good soft crunch to the chocolate really add to the dark chocolate flavour.

All of Hotel Chocolat’s Sandwich Eggs are packed with flavour, are beautifully designed and have a fun element to them. The Dairy Free Easter Egg Sandwich would make a great chocolate gift for adults and children – even with the cocoa nibs.

Easter Mini Eggs Chocolate Box

Suzie — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:42:50 +0000

Fifteen, Hotel Chocolat, filled chocolate mini eggs presented as a selection box, a great alternative to an Easter egg or as a gift to share.

The luxury mini eggs have crisp outer shells made of dark, white and milk chocolate, and are filled with a gorgeous selection of smooth centres, just like egg-shaped chocolate truffles.

On the ends of the eggs are bright dots of colour, chocolate coloured with natural colouring, which correspond to the menu card tucked into the back of the box.

The Easter H-box has fifteen of the cute little eggs, in seven different flavours:

Dark Praline: A dark chocolate shell, that has a very satisfying snap when you bite into it, filled with a well-flavoured hazelnut praline enhanced by the 70% cocoa chocolate.
Advocaat Truffle: Milk chocolate ganache with a splash of Advocaat liqueur, which keep the smooth centre relaxed and adds a subtle “egg custard” flavour.
Amaretto Truffle: An elegant milk chocolate and cream ganache with a good dash of Amaretto, encased in a mellow milk shell.
Caramel Egg: Soft, mellow and extremely comforting runny caramel encased in a creamy milk chocolate shell and finished with an all-natural yellow dot.
Berry Mousse: A white chocolate whipped mousse, in a white chocolate shell, with raspberries and strawberries, which gives the mousse a fresh flavour and a wonderful texture.
Banana Split: A rich and sticky banana butter caramel, which tastes just like real caramelised bananas, in a 40% cocoa milk chocolate shell.
Milk Praline: A crisp milk chocolate egg shell with an incredibly smooth milk chocolate and hazelnut praline, simple but delicious.

You get two of each flavour and three of one, because of the odd number in the box. I had three of the Milk Praline eggs, which I was very happy about as they are one of my favourites, along with the Banana Split, Dark Praline and Berry Mousse.

All of the eggs are very moreish, but you can get refills! Each of the flavours are available in 100g pots – but only from the shops, you can find your nearest Hotel Chocolat shop on their website – www.hotelchocolat.co.uk/stores.

Ideal for Easter – or a treat!

£11.00, 185g.

“Pure White” Hotel Chocolat white chocolate, engraved cocoa pod Easter egg, simple heavenly. This is the luxury white chocolate Easter egg option for the white chocolate lover.

Creamy chocolate egg with a selection of the most delightful praline and butter creams recipes, including my favourite combination of lemon and white chocolate, in separate box.

This elegant white Easter egg is one of five from the Engraved Cocoa Pod Easter Eggs by Hotel Chocolat.

Of the rather limited amount of white chocolate Easter eggs, this would be my “top pick” not only because it is a Hotel Chocolat egg, but also the way its looks and the way it is presented.

225g of white chocolate Easter egg and milk and white chocolate chocolates for £12.00.

Hotel Chocolat – Your Eggsellency – Extra Thick Easter Eggs

Suzie — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 20:08:38 +0000

I love milk chocolate and dark chocolate, not just one or the other and so do a lot of people. You can always get a milk chocolate Easter egg or a dark chocolate Easter egg – its not that often that you can treat yourself, oops I mean buy someone else, a half dark and half milk chocolate Easter egg. So I was delighted to find one!

This delicious looking egg “Your Eggsellency” is by Hotel Chocolat and is part of this year’s Extra Thick Easter Eggs collection. The contrast in colour between the milk and dark chocolate shells is rather beautiful and really sets of the mini eggs, which I haven’t even mentioned yet, inside.

The milk chocolate half is 40% cocoa solids and the dark chocolate is a wonderfully rich 74%, inside the extra thick shell are ten mini truffle eggs hand finished in bright colours and individually flavoured.

I am planning on getting this egg for two of my freinds that are a couple, it’s perfect for sharing.

£20.00 for 380g of distinguished chocolate.

I have converted the Hotel Chocolat Blueberry Easter Egg Sandwich since it was first released, it looks exquisite – I’m just too scared to buy one in case I never eat at and just stare at it, and that would just be a total waste of chocolate!

A heavenly fusion of dark chocolate and blueberry flavoured white chocolate, sandwiched between two halves of a hollow dark chocolate Easter egg, with a purple dot on it.

The Blueberry Easter egg is one of five Hotel Chocolat Easter Egg Sandwiches, each a different flavour. And Hotel Chocolat have a multi-buy offer for them – £20 for any combination of 4 Egg Sandwiches.

£6.00 for 100g of edible art with a blueberry flavour.

Labelled: Vegetarian, Alcohol Free and Gluten Free.

Hotel Chocolat – The Eggsibitionist – Extra Thick Easter Eggs

Suzie — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 15:10:26 +0000

This is one of my favourite Easter eggs from last year; the REALLY thick chocolate shell is split in two sections and wrapped as individual pieces then inside are little bags with the 12 flavoured mini eggs.

The The Eggsibitionist™ Extra Thick Easter Egg is a true delight from start to finish, it comes in a very chic black embossed box with a bright pink band around it. As you take off the band and open the box you are greeted with a keyhole cut out where you can just glimpse the egg inside. The stylish box, synonymous with Hotel Chocolat, makes this an ideal present.

A 147mm high 40% milk chocolate Easter egg and filled with twelve hand decorated mini eggs filled, delicious flavours including vanilla, orange, hazelnut, chocolate brownie and strawberry, approximately 380g of milk chocolate Easter egg and filled mini eggs for £20.00.

Labelled: Vegetarian and Alcohol Free.
