Hotel Chocolat Pecan Danish Selectors

The clocks have gone back, autumn is well and truly upon us and the new seasonal choccies are on the shelves. Today’s review is a truly autumnal comforting sweet treat with these Hotel Chocolat Pecan Danish Selectors. It can safely be said that Hotel Chocolat is firm fave on this blog.

These cup shaped selectors are my favourite style, they always seem to give a better ratio of filling. Each of these 6 cups is filled with maple,…

Hotel Chocolat Rhubarb and Custard Selectors

The Hotel Chocolat wall of Selectors is a joyful place to visit. Whether it’s truffles, alcohol, nutty, fruity, or seasonal, they have you covered.

There is no denying that this is jam packed inside, and you can certainly see the distinct layers. From the first…

Hotel Chocolat Cinnamon Buns Selector

It’s snowing Christmas in Hotel Chocolat. Amongst the chocolate boxes, hampers, jolly penguins and snowmen, there’s also the Hotel Chocolat Cinnamon Buns Selector. This isn’t actually a newbie, but is one that has been around before, and is back once more.  Last year I tried the Treacle Tart Selectors, which were nice but dubious you could actually tell what they were in a blind taste test. This year I am hoping the Cinnamon Bun can do a little better.  If you aren’t familiar the Selector’s come in at £3.95 a pop or 3 for £10. They are suitable for vegetarians…

There’s been the delicious Banana Bread and not to mention the Banoffee Pie (review here).

There is such a variety that the…
