For most girls its a good standby, let's face it, most of us indulge occasionally. But why should the girls have all the fun? Maybe we should treat the guys too? Just a thought.
So - on the subject of chocolate, where do you get some seriously good stuff? The supermarkets are offering increasingly good ranges, many of the Belgian chocolate assortments contain the same products as may be found in an independent chocolatier. I know - I used to be in the Belgian chocolate business myself. But, although the product may be good, is that where you really want to get your gifts from? And can we do better?
Thorntons remains very popular - but while there was a time when their shops were exciting and new, they have not really progressed. Enter Hotel Chocolat...
I first discovered Hotel Chocolat when shopping in Milton Keynes. I was first struck by how different they are. The feel of the shop, the presentation of the products was so new. A bit like when Starbucks burst into the coffee shop scene with their distinctive decor and squishy sofas. This was a whole new concept. Others have been quick to follow with the slabs of chocolate studded with berries, nuts or whatever - but Hotel Chocolat are cutting edge when it comes to chocolate.
But don't just take my word for it. Check out their site on the link below.
