Hotel Chocolat ‘you crack me up’ extra thick egg and chocolates
I recently reviewed a chocolate wreath by Hotel Chocolat and was blown away by the quality and detail of it.
I was very pleased to be asked to review another of their fine items in the Easter range.
Once again the presentation of their product makes you feel so special! This is no supermarket Easter egg and it can be used to make the adult enjoy Easter just as much as the children.
This Easter egg would impress Royalty!
When delivered (which I have to add was super fast) it came carefully packaged in a protective box and arrived in perfect condition. On opening the box there was a very posh gift bag with the Hotel Chocolat logo on, tied with ribbon and a named gift card attached.
Inside the bag was an arch shaped box that is a very tasteful design and a simple but exciting description of its contents.
‘You Crack Me Up - extra thick egg – An irrepressibly upbeat egg bursting with smiley face pralines and happy chicks.’
On opening the box there is the story of Hotel Chocolat’s extra thick eggs explaining they designed their eggs 13 years ago and were advised by experts to make the egg as thin as possible and put the chocolates on the outside, but they did the opposite making it as thick as possible and hid their cute little chocolates inside the egg.
There is also all the ingredients and legalities on the bottom of this insert.
The egg is wrapped in two separate halves in golden foil and the chocolates are wrapped in paper in the middle of the two halves. There is another description paper explaining the types of chocolate.
There is a chocolate brownie smiley face, (crispy chocolate butter cream encased in milk chocolate)
Milk praline fried egg (a milk chocolate, hazelnut praline-filled half shell, topped with a white chocolate fried egg)
Crunchy praline (crunchy biscuit pieces and praline encased in mocha chocolate)
Milk chocolate chick (cast in mellow and creamy 40% milk chocolate)
White soldiers (creamy white chocolate soldier pre-dipped with a dollop of creamy chocolate yolk)
Smooth caramel bow tie bunny (a dapper Easter bunny cast in smooth and sensual caramel milk chocolate)
All of these chocolate were absolutely divine and would send any chocolate lover to chocolate heaven!
The egg itself had a two tone marble effect of milk and white chocolate and had the Hotel Chocolat logo on it, it was by far the most inviting Easter egg I have ever seen, I have yet to see another one as thick as this one. (It definitely isn’t one for sharing with the other half!!)
As with the other product I reviewed in December, the attention to detail and the feel of quality and pride put into the products really make the recipient feel special.
There are a lot of companies that used to be regarded as quality chocolatiers but in my honest opinion Hotel chocolat make these companies look very mainstream. This is extremely posh, fabulous quality chocolate which every chocolate lover must try!
The ‘You Crack Me Up’ extra thick Easter egg can be purchased for £28.00 at hotelchocolat.com and is worth every single penny.
