Hotel Chocolat Dark Chocolate Collection Selector 65g
£4.95
£7.62 per 100gProduct information
Hotel Chocolat's dark chocolates start at 70% cocoa and go up in steps to 100%. Here, three of their finest high-cocoa recipes live for your attention: indulge in your darkest chocolate fantasies with the Dark Chocolate Truffles Selector.
Hotel Chocolat's Gianduja Bombes are filled with the silkiest, smoothest dark hazelnut praline, which melts in the mouth like butter. Not one to stick to the ordinary, the Gianduja Bombes are made with 58% hazelnut, even though the Gianduja guidelines state it should contain around 40%.
The Simple Dark Truffle fuses surprisingly mellow 85% dark chocolate with real whipped cream for an elegant dark ganache. Hotel Chocolat opted to use Ghanian cocoa beans - their naturally mellow flavour lets all the nuanced notes of the cocoa bean shine through.
Finally, for Hotel Chocolat's Dark Rum Truffles they used a generous glug of Saint Lucian golden rum, made up the road from the Rabot Estate cocoa plantation and boasting notes of raisins, tobacco and spice. An Academy of Chocolate award winner, this tipsy truffle is for adults-only, perfect for serving at the end of a dinner party alongside your favourite neat drink.
Devastatingly divine, the Dark Chocolate Truffles Selector can be mixed and matched with Hotel Chocolat's other selectors for a full-bodied chocolate tasting experience.

Sweet
Very sweet. That is all about it
shrinking chocolates
I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw this packet of chocolates. Admittedly I only buy them a couple of times a year as a treat, but they seemed very small. Extremely small. Maybe my memory was playing tricks? They were as delicious as always but I felt cheated somehow. We all know prices are skyrocketing and packet sizes are shrinking. Please let us buy the treats were used to: same size, albeit more expensive and maybe just once a year.
Perfect mouthful of indulgence.
A most satisfying chocolate each one was a delicious experience and so different. From the rich and creamy dark truffle to the rum truffle with an unexpected punch. Unlike most dark chocolate these do not have a bitter after taste.
Not for me
I'm not that keen on truffles but thought I would try these as on offer with another Hotel Chocolat item (the ginger and hazlenut squares, which I preferred as they are a more solid texture than truffles - and were delicious!) These tasted pretty similar though the rum was stronger. Not for me....
Lovely dark morsels!
Im a big fan of dark chocolate and also a big fan of Hotel Chocolat. These are just enough to be indulgent without having to rein in too much self control. Would be great to serve with coffee at a dinner party (remember those!?)
