When we arrived home from Scarborough last week, we had a fabulous box of chocolates waiting for us, courtesy of Hotel Chocolat.

We’d been asked to choose something from their Chocolate Christmas Gifts range and do a little review, and we’ve had a wonderful time doing just that.

This box is the Sleekster Christmas Selection, a lovely range of Christmas flavours; fruits and spices and lots of different chocolate.

Mike went straight for the ginger cheesecake. He’s a real ginger fanatic, and this was the first one out of the box – and he loved it! Apparently one of the best ginger chocs he’s ever had.

My favourite was the Christmas mess. Gorgeous white chocolate with an almost sherbetty fruit middle and tiny meringue bits on top (that’s the one pictured here).

This was the first time either of us had tried anything from Hotel Chocolat. We’ve had to keep them out of the way so that we could just have a couple each every day. They certainly deserve better than being scoffed at one sitting.

We’ve loved every single one, and I definitely think we’ll be back for more at Christmas time.

The Hotel Chocolat website has a lovely range to suit all tastes and ages, and there must be a gift there to suit just about everyone – from stocking fillers and quirky little things for children right through to really huge luxury gifts for someone very special (hint there for Mike!).

Everything’s available for home delivery – and I think it’s worth mentioning that the Sleekster box was packaged perfectly to fit through our front door so we didn’t even need to wait in for delivery.
