Twenty four Hotel Chocolat chocolate recipes especially selected for the Signature Collection, a gorgeous chocolate box for Christmas.

Luxury hand finished Hotel Chocolat chocolates, presented in a chic deep red embossed box. Inside the chocolate box the chocolates are lined up by shape, tempting you to savour the experience.

A sample selection of the gorgeous truffles, mouth watering caramels and fabulous flavours within the Signature Collection:

• Mocharetto Star: A dreamy, super soft ganache made with Columbian coffee, a dash or two of smooth cream liqueur and a little almond oil to give it an Italian feel with amaretto-style almond flavour notes.
• Banana Split: A gorgeous combination that plays on the winning blend of banana and caramel flavours – with the fruity flavours of red banana balanced by the rounded sweetness of caramel.
• Vanilla Butterscotch: The first thing you will notice about this chocolate is the gorgeous light whipped buttercream peppered with tiny vanilla seeds, encased in a mellow chocolate shell.
• Almond and Raspberry: A brand new take on the concept of fruit and nut with two layers just waiting to melt away. The first is a velvety smooth praline made with finely ground almonds and the second is a silky soft mousse with the zippy
  flavours of all natural raspberry.
• Striking Strawberry: Inside this creamy white chocolate shell you’ll discover there’s a striking fruity experience waiting for you – it’s bursting with the fresh flavours of natural strawberry blended into a white chocolate mousse.
• Orange Marmalade Praline: This milk chocolate praline has been blended with essential oil of bigarade orange, prized for its full flavour, which delivers more edgy citrus flavours than those of sweeter oranges.

Hotel Chocolat’s interpretation of the traditional Christmas log, smooth dark chocolate mixed with Piedmont praline and nuts to lift the chocolate flavour and add texture.

Christmas logs, or Yule logs, represent the last log to be brought in to be burnt on the fire, big enough to see the family through the winter months.

Traditionally the Yule Log cake is made from rolled sponge, like a Swiss roll, and then cover in chocolate icing.

The chocolate log from Hotel Chocolat is the grown up version, of the classic chocolate cake, dark chocolate blended with praline, Piedmont hazelnuts which milled to produce a velvety smooth praline, studded with pistachios and more hazelnuts and shaped into a Christmas log.

Part of the Sweet Obsessions range from Hotel Chocolat, classic British chocolates and sweets.
