Hotel Chocolat - Chocolate Tasting Club Offer

purplebutterfly

Put it this way: my hubby and I can quite easily eat a huge bar of Dairy Milk between us in about 4 minutes - and still have room for any more choccy in the vicinity.

When we got the Hotel Chocolat stuff (I got the box with the solid slabs in because there is more chocolate in that one, by weight ) we managed a tiny mouthful of the slab each and couldn't face any more!!

WE were shocked to be honest. It's so full of real chocolate that it is somehow "heavier" than normal stuff. I would love to be able to afford it regularly and trust me - I was the most sceptical person out there, being quite fond of Tesco value bars :rotfl:

i know this is not discussion time but has anyone else tried the marmite batons in this months tasting box?,up until last month walkers chilli and chocolate crisps were the most disgusting thing i had ever tasted but this has now been surpassed by marmite flavoured chocolate:eek:

Are they in the solid selection or in the classic box?

Just to clarify, Cadburys isn't technically chocolate. It doesn't contain enough cocoa solids to be called chocolate. It's made of cocoa butter, sugar and other fats, and bears little resemblance to natural cacao.

Dark chocolate (not just from hotel chocolat) contains more cacao and a lot less sugar and added fats. Because it is so much more chocolatey, less dark chocolate should satisfy even the sweetest tooth.

MY problem with selection boxes, whoever makes them, is there's always something horrible in it. In the Classic Selection box the problem was with the Coconut Cube. Something very wrong with it. But having one dud is acceptable I suppose.

On a totally different note I took a bite out of a Peanut Kitkat by mistake the other day (my cheap chocolate likes include giant kitkats.) Now that WAS disgusting. I don't know how that came into existence.

Oooh, peanut kitkats are delicious! I can't stand peanut butter normally - but in a kitkat it is fantastic! *drools*

I think you need to go straight to Tasting Club (via Quidco) rather than going first to Hotel Chocolat and then into Tasting Club ifyswim. I couldn't locate the £4 cashback offer until I did that . Its worked now and has tracked.

Bought mine on 14/02, still not received it. Not impressed, although I do love Hotel Chocolat and have never had any problems in their shops.

Mine arrived this morning, ordered on the 17th.

Haven't taken the cellophane off .... yet!
