Hotel Chocolat’s “chocolate bars” are a little bit special; the chocolate is shaped into a rather chic chocolate slab rather than bars. Organically shaped solid chocolate slabs, the luxury chocolate bar.

The chocolate slabs come on three main types; giant slabs, mini slabs and The Purist range, but all quality chocolate in differing sizes and flavours.

There are four mini chocolate slabs in the 2009 Christmas chocolate collection from Hotel Chocolat:

Cinnamon Crunch Mini Chocolate Slab

A very cute mini chocolate slab featuring the “Best Dressed” snowman.

Melt in the mouth 40% milk chocolate with cinnamon spiced crispies for a warming Christmassy flavour and crunch. Pressed into the milk chocolate base is the caramel flavoured chocolate snowman. And it’s even decorated to look like its snowing!

£3.95, 100g.

Labelled: Vegetarian and Alcohol Free.

Orange Nice Spice Mini Chocolate Slabs

Slabs of 70% cocoa dark chocolate with a dash of chilli to warm you up in the cold winter months and zesty Valencia orange to lift the notes of the smooth dark chocolate, a gorgeous spicy combination.

Finished with a dramatic splash of, naturally coloured, orange chocolate.

£3.95, 100g.

Labelled: Vegetarian and Alcohol Free.

Marzipan Ingot Boxed Mini Chocolate Slab

Chirstmas simply would not be complete without the gorgeously traditional pleasure – authentic marzipan, brimming with almonds, enrobed in 40% cocoa milk chocolate.

A must have for the marzipan chocolate connoisseur.

£3.95, 100g.

Labelled: Vegetarian.

Nutty Noel Boxed Mini Chocolate Slab

Milk chocolate slab with crunchy whole roasted almonds, hazelnuts and pecans giving the chocolate a rather fetching marbled effect.

The chocolate in the Nutty Noel chocolate slab is a slightly stronger, 50% cocoa milk chocolate blend, which balances perfectly with the nuts.

£3.95, 100g.

Labelled: Vegetarian and Alcohol Free.

Magic of Christmas in a giant chocolate selection box, well two giant chocolate selection boxes, packed full of all your favourite Cadbury chocolate bars and treats.

A selection box is a must have at Christmas, they make perfect gifts and you get a great selection of different chocolates. These selection boxes are a bit special, not only are they Cadbury but they are the largest selection boxes that Cadburys have made this year and they are exclusive to Cadbury Gifts Direct, so you can’t get them in shops or supermarkets.

Each Giant Cadbury chocolate selection box contains a selection of family favourites including:

Almost all of the Cadbury Dairy Milk varieties:
Dairy Milk Biscuit, Dairy Milk Mint, Dairy Milk Whole Nut, Cadbury Dairy Milk, Dairy Milk Turkish, Dairy Milk Bubbly, Dairy Milk Caramel and Dairy Milk Fruit & Nut.

And some new and classic chocolate bars:
Cadbury Crunchie, Cadbury Time Out, Cadbury Flake, Curly Wurly, Picnic, Cadbury Chocolate Buttons, Flake Praline, Fudge and Chomp.

Something for everyone.

£20.00 for the biggest Cadbury chocolate selection boxes you can buy.

If you are stuck for Christmas present ideas, you can’t go too wrong with a chocolate slab from Hotel Chocolat, a huge chocolate bar that always impresses and makes a spectacular chocolate gift for any chocolate lover!

Very cute and very Christmassy, the background of the giant slab is milk chocolate, the 40% cocoa Hotel Chocolat house blend, which makes a smooth milk chocolate with just the right amount of cocoa for the chocolate hit. The “Best Dressed” snowman, a very popular chocolate shape in the Hotel Chocolat Christmas range, is made of creamy white chocolate and his scarf is also white chocolate but flavoured with winter berry.

The Hotel Chocolat chocolate slabs come in elegant bags with handles, so I personally don’t think they need to be wrapped, making a perfect Hotel Chocolat Christmas gift.

£12.50, 500g. A huge half kilo of delicious chocolate.

Organic chocolate moulded into a Christmas tree shape, decorated by hand, wrapped up and finished off with a ribbon – a perfect Christmas chocolate gift!

These gorgeous little hollow chocolate Christmas trees stand about seven inches tall and are available as milk chocolate, white chocolate or dark chocolate. With the dark chocolate option suitable for vegans.

As on of Montezuma’s most popular Christmas products last year, these will sell out fast.

£7.95, 150g.

Labelled: GM Free, Preservatives / Additive / Colouring Free, Vegetarian, Organic and Gluten Free.
