Hotel Chocolat 120h Conch Purist 65% Chocolate Bar

This bar, despite being from St Lucia as the other bar was, is completely different. From the first bite you can taste that this is a smoother chocolate that almost tastes more like milk chocolate. The graininess of ...

I bought this chocolate bar some time ago and finally got around to trying it out. The flavour is delicate and pleasant and not at all too earthy or leathery.  It was slightly flat in my mouth but it was still ...

Artisan du Chocolat Tasting box

I got these lovely chocolates because it gave me a little bit of everything to try.  The box contained several chocolates all of very different flavours and they seemed almost perfectly chosen for me.  The box was delightful wrapped in ...

Rococo Rose Chocolate Bar

A dark chocolate bee bar that has a Turkish Delight flavour of rose.  It makes it not too floral and quite pleasant.  It’s like Turkish Delight without the chewy gooey bits. The dark chocolate doesn’t stand out on its own and ...
