The Advent Calendar Review

Image
The Advent  Calendars Welcome back to my blog!  I am excited to be reviewing advent calendars in this post.  For this review I purchased the 5 flavours of Hotel Chocolat's standard advent calendar (£12.50 each). The flavours are white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate (vegan), caramel chocolate and nut milk (vegan). The calendars contain 24 solid chocolates in various Christmas shapes which are very detailed. Hotel Chocolat also sell a range of other advent calendars such as their children's penguin advent calendar and the grand advent calendar which includes multiple chocolate and alcohol products. Nevertheless, I chose to review their standard advent calendar range.  There are now two options for vegans (the nutmilk and the dark) so there is a calendar in this range for everyone. Advent Calendars Packaging Review... I really love the packaging of these advent calendars it is very good quality, classy and festive. My favourite advent calendars in terms ...

Favourite Selectors

Selectors

 


One of Hotel Chocolat's most popular products are their selectors. There is a   wide selection of fancy chocolate options (containing 6) and bars to choose from. You can purchase 3 of the selector products for £12 or they are £4.50.


In this post I will be talking about my top 3 favourite selector products: the Raspberry Pannacotta chocolates, the White Collection chocolates and the Cookies & Milk bar.

Reviews...

Raspberry Pannacotta


Firstly, my favourite - the Raspberry Pannacotta.



Raspberry Pannacotta

- Layers on inside 

- Hard outer shell

- Soft, creamy centre

- Mix of raspberry and white chocolate

- Not too sweet – tang of raspberry 

- Vanilla 

- Good aftertaste

- One chocolate feels like a lot 

            - Is quite a big chocolate

White collection


I also chose the White Collection which contains 3 different chocolates: the Blondie, Strawberry Cheesecake and Walnut Praline. The collection selectors are a good choice if you can't decide what you would like because they have 3 different options in them.
White Collection


- Strawberry Cheesecake

- Quite soft – softer than raspberry pannacotta

- Tastes strongly like strawberries

- Not too sweet 

-  The Blondie

- Has got a crunch to it 

- Does not taste that much of white chocolate 

- Tastes like chocolate cake mix/cake batter

-  Walnut Praline

- Faint nutty flavour

- Strong white chocolate 

- Creamy 

- Sweet – the sweetest of all 


Milk & Cookies


My final choice was the Milk & Cookies bar. The bars are a good choice because you get a lot more chocolate than in the packets of chocolate.

Milk & Cookies

-  Bit of crunch 

-  Good strength of chocolate not too dark and not too sweet

-  Creamy

-  You get a lot of chocolate in a bar

-  Thick chocolate bar

-  Bits of cookie on top
