This Christmas choose chocolates with class

Children love huge boxes of Christmas chocolate from the supermarket. Every year, they rip the wrapping paper from the package of candy and are absolutely thrilled. That’s because kids have simple tastes. Candy is always good, and popular brands of chocolate are the tastiest and most exciting treat they can imagine.

Chocolate gifts can be well appreciated by adults, too. However, it takes something with a little more class to impress a mature and sophisticated man or woman. Primary colours, cartoon Santas, and bland chocolate are not going to cut it.

When choosing chocolate gifts for your loved ones this year, think about what will really delight them. Adults want quality, not quantity. They appreciate humour and whimsy. They delight in intense and unusual flavours. They want hand crafted, beautifully packaged chocolates that look good and taste wonderful. They prefer flavours that are thrilling and luxurious, so that they can savour one piece at a time.

You can see and taste the quality of a truly high class chocolate. However, the very best chocolate can be difficult to find. It is hand made, and it’s often tucked away in small shops, off the beaten path.

Fortunately, it’s also possible to buy boutique chocolate online.

Hotel Chocolat is a perfect example. Their chocolate gifts are beautiful and imaginative. The design of the packaging and the chocolates themselves is artful enough to fit the most fashionable homes. However, the chocolates are so delicious that the lovely display they make is doomed to be short lived.

Founded by Angus Thirlwell and Peter Harris two decades ago, Hotel Chocolat makes chocolates with a high concentration of top quality cocoa. Their level of sweetness is designed to appeal to an adult palate.

Hotel Chocolat has a stunning array of Christmas gifts, almost a hundred in all. They range from small, fun and unique gifts like Chilli Penguins [1] to the most elegant and lux collection of chocolate: the utterly gorgeous, 125 piece Chocolatier's Table [2].

Imagine a chocolate loving couple’s joy at receiving a Truffles for Two Advent Calendar [3]. From Tipsy Christmas Puddings [4] to Alternative Chocolate Mince Pies [5], Hotel Chocolat is improving upon the Christmas classics. For the fruit loving hedonist, there are chocolate covered, brandy soaked slices of apple [6].

Hotel Chocolat has charming tins of chocolate, baskets of chocolate, chocolate lollies and chocolate art tiles. They sell chocolate covered fruit, chocolate covered nuts, and drinking chocolate. Of course, they have both dark and milk chocolate. There is something for every taste, and there’s always something new to try.

However, Hotel Chocolat isn’t only focused on the final product. They care about what goes into their chocolates, too. They work with cocoa farmers in Ghana to help improve their lives and their communities, while producing the highest quality raw ingredients possible. By concentrating on both the excellence of the cocoa and the art of chocolate making, they are able to produce a product of absolutely stunning quality.

This Christmas, show some class. Save the supermarket chocolates for the children. Instead, buy your friends and loved ones something really special from Hotel Chocolat.
