The traditional German Christmas cake is given a modern makeover with a chocolate twist as Montezuma’s Marzipan and Chocolate Christmas Stollen.

A wrapper Stollen is a Christmas cake that can be given as a Christmas gift in Germany, the moist bread-like fruitcake was originally meant to represent the baby Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Montezuma’s Christmas chocolate version or the Stollen is simply marzipan and chocolate. The very best almond marzipan is flattened out, covered in almond paste and rolled into a rather large marzipan log. This is then covered in smooth chocolate and drizzled with milk, white and dark chocolate for decoration.

Presented in a clear fronted box, in Montezuma’s Christmas 2009 colours, the Marzipan and Chocolate Christmas Stollen makes a wonderful gift, dinner party dessert or present for the marzipan connoisseur.

£15.95, 450g.

Labelled: Preservatives / Additive / Colouring Free and Vegetarian.

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.
