Product Information

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!

Hotel Chocolat is always a brand that is popular at this time of year, because who doesn't love chocolate?! It's a gift that everyone loves and a brand you can always rely on the put a smile on just about anybody's face. Sometimes, we all fancy a sweet treat to round off a meal but just can’t squeeze in a full pudding. Fortunately, we’ve come up with 27 decadent dessert-inspired chocolate recipes so you can sample all of your favourite puds in bite-size form. From maple-laced Pecan Pie to a fruity Orange Chocolate Pot , there’s a flavour combination to delight all. 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. 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. 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.With these whopping Hotel Chocolat discounts, there's only one catch: the chocolate is at, near or past its best before date. Now a best before date isn't the same as a use-by date. Food past its use-by date shouldn't be consumed as it could be unsafe. Best before is an indicator of when food might start to change but isn't to do with safety. Some people will already be spitting out their biscuit thinking "what are you doing to yourself?" but for me, it comes down to common sense. 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.

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.They may be petite, but each decadent bite brings all the flavour, vibrancy and satisfaction you’d get with a full-sized dessert. And, of course, we never stray too far from cacao, the true star behind every creation. Every patisserie morsel contains super-smooth milk, dark or white chocolate for a truly indulgent tasting experience. 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. But it can often come with a hefty price tag and with the cost of living crisis continuing to affect households across the nation, many of us are looking for ways to keep prices down this year, Wales Online reports.
