Halloween Product Review

 For this post I decided to review Hotel Chocolat's Halloween products. I tried the Halloween Bites H-box (£13.50) and the Yumpkin (£6) with my family.

Halloween H-box

The Halloween Bites H-box contains 14 chocolates (all alcohol free) and unlike most other H-boxes, there are two of most of the chocolates in the box. Two of the chocolates are sold separately all year (mentioned in the reviews).

The box has very nice, bright packaging which is good quality. You can also get a free Halloween box sleeve that can be put on any of the chocolate boxes for Halloween. 

Overall, there was a very good selection of milk, dark, white, caramel and praline chocolates in this box. I would recommend the H-box over the Yumpkin.

H-box Review...

Oozy Eyes - White

-       Very soft centre, thick outer layer, runny caramel, sweet 

Spooky Spider

-       Rich, not that peanutty more salty, subtle, nice, quite a firm praline

Mousse au Chocolat

-       Quite rich but not too strong, dark, hard outer shell, nice texture, bitterness from the coco dusting

-       Is sold all year separately 

Dizzy Praline 

-       Very strong hazelnut, not over sweet, very chocolatey, balanced

-       Is sold all year separately 

Ghastly Ghoul

-       Creamy centre, tastes more of milk chocolate than white, not that sweet

Boo!

-       Not as sweet as I thought, not a very strong flavour, just tastes like chocolate

Petrifying Pumpkin

-       Good balance of salt, very smooth, very creamy, Favourite!

The Grim Treater

-       Very detailed design, solid chocolate, milk chocolate but looks dark, smooth 

Ozzy Eyes - Milk

-       Sweet, smooth, hard shell, very soft centre, very similar taste to white eyes

Yumpkin

Yumpkin Review...
