I also wish that sometimes it would be possible to buy a box full of just one favourite flavour. I can do this at Haighs or Swiss Glory, but a box of Cadbury Roses, for instance, has to be taken as is. There’s no chance of getting a box of the strawberry creams, or the lovely new flavour in the mix, lemon cheesecake.

Christine they’re not at the counter with the gorgeous home made truffles (they’ll be another review – or seven – entirely) but with the other boxes of chocolates, including other brands.

The shop assistant who sold them to me said that a lot of people buy the boxed version because it looks nicer than having a few dented truffles rolling around in a paper bag and they are easier to give as gifts. I agree with both of those statements and think the plain gold box is rather elegant. Now if I can just convince them to fill it with the strawberry centres…..

I haunt my local DJ’s chocolate section quite a bit but have never seen these? Are they actually at the counter with all of the handmade ones and not on the shelves?

Maggie, just hint very loudly that some DJs chocolates would be nice – especially when they come over to visit. Of course, that’ll mean that you’ll have to repay the favour with Hotel Chocolat treats for them, but then if you’re family, hopefully there’ll be sharing….

OMG, they look so gorgeous! Wish I could get those in the UK. Oh well, I’ll need to stick to my Hotel Chocolat stuff for now (which is not bad at all). And maybe one day, when I’m in Australia…
(BTW, it’s just turned out I have some family there, so you never know ;))
