Chocolate

[Kutter]

i wonder how good the quality some of the chocolate that these posh places are selling really is? I can't eat Hershey or the cadbury's over here now because it tastes too gritty and chalky.

 

[mp3duck]

Is it good?

Of course. Would not have posted a link if it wasn't

I've got lots of things from them, and they are always very good!

While we're on the subject, anyone know where/if it's possible to get some chocolate for somebody whos lactose intolerant?

Take a look at http://www.montezumas.co.uk/

I'm not overly keen on Montezumas. I pass one most days and tbh I prefer HotelChocolat.

Yes on the subject, I wonder why nutella doesnt make an easter egg? Just a big chocolate egg with a jar of nutella inside. I'd buy it.

Thanks fellas, I do share the opinion that Thorntons are poo though.

We've been munching through a box of them tonight and they are ok but nothing special.

These are amazing but stupidly expensive.

Green & Blacks

This or Lindt.

Anything else will be full of cheap ingredients and greasy as hell. Quality > quantity.

Hotel Chocolate for "posh" chocolates, Lindt and Green & Black for normal, good quality chocolate.

I'd tend to go with Hotel Chocolate, or fresh chocolates from a local sweet shop though, much nicer and you get to pick what you want!

Oh god yeah, worse than Kinnertons and that stuff is rank.

thorntons chocolate a lot of people like round here

Thorntons is cheap and tacky, not to mention horrible

Get her a basket of Twirls. Throw them on her. Twirls > all other chocolate. I guarantee you'll be walking with a limp the next day.

 

[bitslice]

Nah, stick with Hotel Chocolate. Everyone likes it, decent chocolate, looks smart. Sorted!

Except their actual Christmas selection is yuck, everything else they do is great.

 

[D.P.]

You really have to buy from a small independent chocolatier.

Living iN Switzerland this was quite easy, however I was pleasantly surprised having moved to the US that there are several really good local chocolatiers.

Montezumas is a but different. I actually really like their chocolate, but hotel chocolat do some more interesting products. Godiva is the only way to go if you want posh!

The problem with both Hotel and Godiva is they are very high street. That means you pay a lot for the name and the marketing. Check out some more independent offerings.
