I think chocolate is my favourite thing, but GOOD chocolate is even better, so I was delighted to recently receive a gorgeous package of loveliness to try from Hotel Chocolat. I am a big fan of Hotel Chocolat and remember years ago being given a large chocolate slab covered in coffee beans which was just amazing and all of their chocolates make a fantastic gift (hint hint if my family and friends are reading this…)
The selection we tried was the Christmas Chocolate Goody Bag, containing six Billionaire’s Shortbread chocolates, a milk/white chocolate slab, a milk/dark Christmas wreath and a milk chocolate reindeer. It didn’t last long.
The bag itself is beautifully presented, but the contents were a real treat. From the velvety smooth praline in the Billionaire’s Shortbread, to the Christmas wreath which was packed with fruit, biscuit and nuts every item was as delicious as the last. It’s well worth the £17 price tag and, as I said, they didn’t last long at all :0/
This gift bag is part of Hotel Chocolat’s range of Christmas gifts and there is plenty there for all tastes and budgets. If you’re looking for some stocking fillers for the children, then these are catered for as well, and if you do happen to buy online from Hotel Chocolat there are some free gift options if you spend over £60.
To find out more about Hotel Chocolat and their delicious range of lovelies, take a look at their website, their Facebook page or their Twitter page.
BUT! The lovely people at Hotel Chocolat are giving YOU the opportunity to win the Christmas Chocolate Goody Bag in my giveaway. Yay!
This competition has now closed and the winner, chosen through Random.org, was Louise. I’ve contacted her to arrange delivery of her prize. Well Done Louise!
So, to enter the competition please do the following:
I’ve entered to win a Hotel Chocolat Christmas Chocolate Goody Bag with @svmitche http://bit.ly/soyAX8
Important Notes:
The competition will end at 10pm on Monday 21st November and a winner will be selected at random and notified the next day. If I have not heard from the winner by Saturday 26th November, then I will select another. UK entrants only please. Good luck!
The Christmas Chocolate Goody Bag for myself and the winner have been supplied by Hotel Chocolat, but all opinions on the product are entirely my own.
Oh. My. God. I *WANT* this!!!! How could you possibly expect me to choose just *one* thing from the selection?! Having experienced the deep bliss that is Hotel Chocolat in the past I can only say I am insanely jealous of your Goody Bag. If I had to choose, I would probably go for the box of chilli penguins. Mainly because neither my husband or son would want to try them (mine, all miiiiine).
I will be tweeting too. Repeatedly, if it gets me extra entries 😉
Mmm, chilli and chocolate – I never thought it would work but weirdlyit does eh!?
I’d love to try The Christmas Cuisine Gift Basket, it’s really intriguing me.
Ooh yeah, it looks really interesting – I’d love to try the cocoa pasta.
I could be greedy and say the £100 hamper with added alcohol ;0) but quite like the look of the Goody Bag you had.
I’ve had Some of their yummines in the past too. Hmmm. Fond memories.
Tweeting too.
Ha, yeah – loadsamoney! Also, the prize is the goody bag, not what you pick from the site. Did I not make that clear? *madly edits post*
oh yummers alternative mince pies :))))
Oh wow wow wow, they all look so delicious. If I could pick anything from the Christmas range it would be the Luxury Truffles to Share Christmas Advent Calendar. I would love opening this each day with a nice cup of tea and my hubby. I would just have to make sure he didn’t eat them both.
I know the perfect person to give this to as a Christmas present. ME.
I love the chocolate chilli pengiuns & this is my favourite brand of chocolate

The Classic Christmas Basket looks fab, it’s the only way there would be enough to share in my house!!
Oh my, Christmas could get messy this year! I’ve just ordered the Chocolate Christmas crackers for my Christmas table and the Chocolate Nutty Yule Log. Thinking of the Yule log (did I say thinking…meant drooling) you need to tell your contacts at Hotel Chocolat that there is an error in the description of the product. They have used the word “share”. I’m sorry but that word and the Nutty Yule Log should NOT be in the same sentence. I know Christmas is all about giving & not receiving and sharing, but I am NOT going to share that bad boy with anyone!! It looks delicious. A fantastic alternative for those of us who hate Christmas cake (no choc), Cbristmas puds (no choc) & mince pies (again no choc).
I love the look of the christmas wreath! Yummy and festive 🙂
I’m not a big fan of mince pies, but the alternative mince pies look so yummy!

I like the tree decorations, but they wouldn’t last for long!
@RAJmse
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Yes Please! I’d love this!! Thanks for a great comp x
I would like to try it all!!
Wow! Who doesn’t love chocolate! I would have to choose the Captivating Advent Calendar – one yummy Hotel Chocolat chocolate a day for 25 days! Yummy!
Sorry forgot to say have tweeted too @figgygee
I would love Father Christmas to swing by on his sleigh and leave me a few boxes of Tiddly Reindeer milk chocolates and Rudolph dark chocolates.
Wow, I’d love to try some of these – wonderful for Christmas! Just off to tweet x
Whoops, forgot to say, I’d love to try the cocoa pasta!
i refuse to answer , there are so many yummy things i can’t decide on just one
Ultimate Christmas Hamper looks aaaaaaamazing!!!!
I love CHOCOLATE! It would be the best Christmas present for me!
I’d love to win this as I’m a chocaholic!!
How can i resist chocolate…the second love of my life, well the husbands the first of course ;)…lol
I love the Christmas Goody bag – so compact and festive!
Have tweeted @scrumpy11
Would love the Truffles to Share Advent Calendar, such a good idea, not sure I would share though, would probably have to eat both chocolates myself !!

I would love the ultimate advent calendar, have tweeted, thanks for the competition as well
Absolutely LOVE the look of all the Enrobed Fruits…but especially the succulent ginger and the cherries! Yes, please!!!
Yes YES yes please … thank you & goodluck to all 😀
I love the Happy Family Christmas Hamper!
I love all chocolate!! totally addicted to it all.
If I had to pick one it would be the Classic Christmas Basket, which I would snuffle up immediately!
I’m the biggest chocoholic in UK!!
^^forgot to say in my excitement, that I following you on Facebook under name of anthony harrington x
Last year we tried the classic Christmas selection, and have to say they were absolutely delicious and would recommend them, to everyone.
chocolate is good but luxury chocolate is even BETTER. xx 🙂
If I’m honest, I’d probably go for the one you had – I love their seasonal goody bags with lots of new things to try. Think my favourite ever was a summer one which contained – among lots of other things – some rhubarb flavoured white chocolate. Very yummy!!
@cheekychicken24 on Twitter – have tweeted too!
I like the tiddly penguins and reindeer. I love novelty Christmas chocolates!!
I’ve tweeted as @comps53.
Also my favourite would be the The Happy Family Christmas Hamper – as to receive it would make this family very happy indeed! All that choice – the tiddly reindeer, the yule log, the alternative mince pies, etc., etc. Where would you begin… and could you get your favourite before someone else snatches it? You’d have a similar problem with your prize – which to have first? Decisions, decisions!
looks like the diet will be starting later next year

fab pretty chocolate slab easy on the eye and the tastebuds! nice to look at but i bet its better to eat!!!!
The Goody Bag looks amazing, but I would have to choose the Christmas Family Hamper….. It’s a hard choice to narrow down, so I’ve chosen based on the word Family- I’m expecting our first child at Christmas, and the Family Hamper would be a lovely celebration!
Wow, so many scrummy things to choose from.I would go for the Goody bag of the season.

Alternative mince pies, perfect for me as I cant stand mince pies!!
How yummy !! I love the look of the Rather Large Christmas cracker , fantastic for sharing with family and friends over christmas.

I love them all but particularly the christmas mini crackers
Crumbs! The alternative mince pies have got my mouth watering.
Definitely the orange tangs! Chocolate + orange = my idea of heaven 😀
Mmm my mouth was watering just browsing their site!
I looked at the Hotel Chocolat range, I think some of the seasonal products like the caramel chocolate penguins are such a cute idea for a stocking-filler! But one of my personal favourites that I can’t get enough of are the truffles selection! Nom nom. So indulgent! <3
i like the idea of the christmas goody bag, looks delectable 🙂 and the chocolate is fab in there!
I love the look of Dasher the Reindeer and also the Winter Desserts
Tweeted @sram3280
The classic christmas collection would be perfect, but the more chocolate the merrier – nom nom nom!
The ‘Tiddly Milk Reindeer’ and the ‘Tiddly Caramel Penguins’ look like great stocking fillers for the grandkids…..oh! and don’t tell anyone, but maybe a ‘White Chocolate Frosty The Snowman’ for myself.
This would be my dream!!! If only I was rich!!! http://www.hotelchocolat.co.uk/luxury-chocolate-gift-P260528/ xoxo
Have tweeted too @tinkertink2010 xoxo
Oh my – it all looks so yummy ! For me it would have to be the little caramel angels. What more could you want! ( Nibbly Noel gives me horrific images of Noel Edmond, hee hee !! )
i love the alternative mince pies!

The Christmas Advent Calendars for mum (sorry meant kids) 🙂
Would love to win this my favourite product is
Triple Chocolate Wham Bam
Thanks for the great review and giveaway!
I love the Christmas Table Crackers – I would buy one for each family member to put on the Christmas table for when we have our Turkey Dinner. We always start our dinner off with a pull of a cracker each so we can wear the hat! Then we raise our glasses, have a toast, then pull some party poppers!!!! It is tradition for our family!
These crackers would be a real treat as they contain gorgeous Christmas shaped chocolates!!!
I have tweeted! @tracyknixon
The Alternative mince pies look great.
I would have to go for Mulled Wine Cherries because they sound both Christmassy and delicious.

Have tweeted @lovetocomp
For me it would have to be the Alternative Mince Pies – they look and sound amazing!
I would pick the Family christmas hamper because there is something to keep everyone happy.
The Mulled wine Cherries sound delicious. I have seen the wreath and it looks gorgeous
Tweeting @cistolic
I think it would have to be the winter desserts for me.
I will tweet too.
I love the look of the alternative mince pies too, although I suspect that they wouldn’t last long!!!

Have tweeted @LouiseRWs
thanks
OMG, how could I pick just one?! I have a sneaking fondness for hollow chocolate figures, so I love the look of Dasher the Reindeer, but I’d love any of the mixed goodies that let you try several things in one. Yumorrific!
They all look too good to resist 🙁 Gonna have to go with the Classic Christmas Double Layer Selection 🙂 great competition thanks x
Oh I like the sound of the chocolate dipping adventure, would have to be the large one though
Chocolate love chocolate and you get away with eating as much as you can at this time of the year
