Hotel Chocolat The Everything Sleekster

Product Information

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. 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. The only thing that maybe, if you look really closely, you might notice is that a few of the chocolates in the largest "everything" box which had a best before of February was a slight white coat on it. Google tells me this is called a bloom, either of fat or sugar, but the good news? It's still totally safe to eat. A chocolatier's blog post told me it's caused by the reaction of the sugar in the chocolate with moisture and "despite the change in appearance, bloomed chocolate is still safe to eat, although the texture and taste may be slightly altered". When a full dessert is just too much, a bite-size chocolate rendition can be the perfect way to satisfy that sweet craving. This collection of 44 luxury chocolates embraces the aromas, flavours and textures of your favourite tarts, cakes and bakes — from maple-laced Pecan Pie to a creamy Raspberry Panna Cotta. Whatever dessert takes your fancy, there’s a Hotel Chocolat interpretation to suit. Discover the full range of patisserie options on the box’s sophisticated menu card — Fudge Sundaes, Chocolate Orange Pots, White Macarons, and more...
