Hotel Chocolat: Dipping Adventure, United Kingdom (19 Jan 2010)

http://www.hotelchocolat.co.uk


For the love of chocolate

This generous Christmas gift for Chef Loz made it all the way over from the UK to Sydney. The four pots of chocolate are heated up in a microwave before dipping your preferred sweet delights. The pots included white, caramel milk, 40% milk and my preferred 74% dark chocolate. The fudge was my favourite for dipping along with your classic marshmallow. Other dippers included were florentines, brazil nuts, breadsticks, gianduja cubes and sesame & sea salt paper waffles. Part of the challenge of dipping was trying to get your dipped item back to your plate without making a mess. The table ended up looking a bit like a chinese yum cha with spillage everywhere due to malfunctioning wooden chopsticks — that's our excuse anyway.

There was enough for five people to share with left over chocolate to make a morning hot chocolate out of. I'll definitely have to look out for the stores over in the UK when visiting next time.

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: It's chocolate!
CONS: Can be messy and increase your waistline
MUST TRY: 74% Dark Chocolate with Caramel Fudge
