Divinely Decadent Chocolate Hamper: a Review

Everyone loves a hamper, whether it be for Christmas, a birthday or any there special occasion. Here we have not one but four up for review, including one from Harrods and a Divinely Decadent Chocolate Hamper.

The British Hamper Company

Who can resist a well put together hamper? Not me, it seems. There’s something so luxurious about receiving a box or whicker basket packed full of goodies. The feel good factor it gives is hard to put a price on.

Divinely Decadent Chocolate Hamper

When the British Hamper Company got in touch with me and explained that they worked with small, artisan and independent food producers, my e-ears pricked up. It wasn’t too much longer before a Divinely Decadent Chocolate Hamper arrived at my door. Woohoo!

As the name suggests, The British Hamper Company is a family run firm that delivers luxury British food hampers both to the UK and around the world. As already mentioned, the products are all from independent producers, which gets it several brownie points from me. I’ve had a good look around the site and I haven’t spotted many hampers I would say no to.

The Divinely Decadent Chocolate Hamper Box

The Divinely Decadent Chocolate Hamper met with my approval as soon as I took the fabulous box out of its packaging. It was beautifully presented, with an accompanying gift card and ribbon tying it together. I spent quite some time admiring it before I could bring myself to open it. The box is sturdy with an attractive and clever design which needs a little studying to fully appreciate it.

Divinely Decadent Chocolate Hamper

The colours are reminiscent of the blue and red you’d expect from something loudly proclaiming its British credentials, but they are subtler, a reddish brown and a blueish grey. The pictures are of typical London icons, but with a wry touch of humour; the inclusion of a raincloud certainly made me smile.

The box makes a nice change from a wicker hamper and it’s a keeper. I’m now contemplating what I can store in it, once the chocolate contents have disappeared. This probably wont be very long.

So, you may well be asking, what was inside the the Divinely Decadent Chocolate Hamper? On opening the lid and hunting through the wood wool, I found seven well chosen items.

Not only were they all of good quality, but there was a nice mix of products, from truffles, to tiffin to drinking chocolate, from dark chocolate to milk – something for everyone. I was familiar with some of the brands, but not all of them. If this box of delights doesn’t grab your fancy, there are plenty of other chocolate hampers to choose from.

Milk of the Gods – Willie’s Cacao

As I have probably said more times than I care to think of on this blog, a really good quality high cocoa content milk chocolate is my absolute favourite. Willie’s Milk of the Gods ticks all the right boxes.

Willie Harcourt-Couze is a bean to bar chocolate manufacturer in Devon. He sources his chocolate ethically from single estates around the tropics. a propo of nothing in particular, here’s a link to my rendition of his cloud forest chocolate cake recipe.

Milk of the Gods

Originating from the Hacienda San Augustine estate in Venezuela, this bar is made from Trinitario cacao beans and has a cacao content of 44%.

The ingredients are simple: no lecithin, just cacao beans, raw cane sugar and milk. It tastes sublime, which strangely is what it says on the packet. It’s rich with a smooth texture and has the slight tang of buttermilk which I really like and immediately associate with good quality milk chocolate and its not too sweet either.

It comes in a single 50g block, so it’s obviously not made to be broken up into neat little pieces and shared. Or that’s how I read it.

Dark Chocolate Tiffin – More Food

Tiffin is always a hit in this house and the six pieces of belgian chocolate mixed with cherries, sultanas and crisp biscuit pieces didn’t last long at all. The dark chocolate made them rich and not too sweet, which is just how I like them.

More Food Tiffin

Choccy Scoffy – Monty Bojangles

My mother is a big fan of Monty Bojangles, so the 100g box of cocoa dusted truffles is destined for her. In fact Monty Bojangles’ truffles proved such a hit when I introduced them to her a couple of years ago, that they have become a firm favourite with various, aunts, uncles and cousins. I’ve not tried these particular ones before, but I’m sure they won’t disappoint.

Decadent Chocolate Hamper

Old Fashioned Fondant Creams – Mr Stanley’s

I have a real weakness for peppermint chocolate. I blame this on my first childhood sweet making activities when peppermint creams were about all I could cope with.

The fondant creams in this 90g box are covered with 55% dark chocolate. And I reckon that the sweetness of the filling needs that dark chocolate to offset it. I’d not heard of Mr Stanley before, but turns out he started up business in 1843 and the traditional confectionery made today is still produced in copper pots.

Orange Peel Dipped in Dark Chocolate – Chocca Mocca

I’d never heard of Chocca Mocca before. Apparently they are a group of fine chocolate aficionados who cover sumptuous fruit and nuts in chocolate. The box is rather attractive and contains 100g of little sticks of crystallised orange peel covered in a 65% dark chocolate.

They were tasty and the orange came through loud and clear. As is often the case, however, both CT and I thought they would have benefited from being a little less sweet.

Chocca Mocca Orange Sticks

Drinking Chocolate – Chocca Mocca

I do like the, err, odd cup of hot chocolate. So the 150g tin of Belgian milk chocolate drops is very welcome. The tin is tall and elegant and I will retain it to fill with more drinking chocolate once this has run out. I haven’t wanted to break into it yet, but I’ve subsequently heard, that the tiny chocolate buttons are wonderful eaten just as they are. It will be interesting to try though, as I tend to use dark chocolate when making hot chocolate at home.

Chilli Chocolate – South Devon Chilli Farm

The South Devon Chilli Farm is another company that is local (ish) to me, so it would be a sad thing indeed if I hadn’t sampled their wares before. As it happened we visited this very establishment a couple of years ago when we went for a fabulous walk along the South Devon coast and ate nettle lemon and white chocolate cupcakes.

Divinely Decadent Chocolate Hamper

They grow all of the chillies contained in their chocolate. I’m a big fan of chilli chocolate and this 60% dark 100g chocolate bar is best nibbled at in small doses. It’s certainly a good way of firing up your body for an up-and-at-’em event.

Harrods Christmas Chocolate Hamper

Back in December 2013, I received a Harrods Christmas decadent chocolate hamper. I have to say, this divinely decadent chocolate hamper was much better. This is what I wrote at the time.

Harrods Hamper

It’s many years since I’ve set foot in Harrods, but the thrill of entering those hallowed halls still lives on. As an awestruck country girl, this acme of  department stores, situated in exclusive Knightsbridge, was an Aladdin’s cave of delights. The food halls in particular live on in my memory.

As a cash strapped student, I would enter and just breathe in the exotic air. It was always rich with spices and other fragrant compounds. I’d gaze at the sumptuous riches all around and at the luxurious chocolates in particular. Well if I can no longer get to Harrods, Harrods can come to me. Or at least it did recently in the form of this strikingly elegant hamper.

Deluxe Golden Tower Hamper

When it comes to colour, subtlety is not my thing. I love bright, bold and some may say garish colours. I especially love gold. So when Hamper Gifts asked if I’d like to review this gold hamper tower, I couldn’t resist it. Never mind the contents.

Golden tower of boxes tied up with a gold ribbon.

As it happened, the contents of this Deluxe Golden Tower Hamper were worth having too. Most of the contents are chocolate after all. The mix was eclectic with all sorts of unusual items packed in together, some of which we’ve already eaten. Some will be good for taking on walks and others I shall use for cake making and decorating purposes.

The boxes were literally crammed with goodies. These included: marzipan, chocolate pecans, sugared almonds, white chocolate pieces, honey roasted nuts, chocolate stones and a mini fruit cake. There was a good scattering of various truffles and individual chocolates throughout which cleverly filled in any any gaps. 

One of the boxes from the Golden Tower Hamper.

Whilst they may not be top flight artisan products, they are well worth having and I was like a kid in a sweet shop, not knowing where to make a start. Whilst I haven’t yet eaten the chocolate stones, I was particularly thrilled to see them as they’re a novelty I remember from childhood. Weirdly, I’ve never them since. Have you?

Golden Boxes

Everything arrived in good condition and most items were not over packaged. Only one item disappointed in this respect; the biscuits. They were more wrapping than edible substance. They came in quite a substantial hessian sack, but when I opened it up, they were small in number and size and the individual wrapping seemed quite unnecessary.

Golden boxes as part of a tower hamper of food.

There are eight very pretty golden oval boxes which all have a slightly different embossed pattern on them and stack neatly on top of each other. They’re tied together with a matching ribbon which fits snuggly around them. You can can easily remove and replace it again and again.

The boxes themselves are quite sturdy and you can use them for a myriad of purposes, including reuse as gift boxes. When we manage to get through the contents, I’m thinking they will become my new jewellery case(s) or then again they would be good for storing cake decorating materials. Decisions, decisions.

It would make an excellent present for anyone who likes their food and drink.

The Chocoholic Hamper Supreme

Well I’m pleased to say that after a brief lull in chocolate consumption post Easter, my chocolate cravings have been indulged. KC Hampers came handsomely to my rescue with a beautiful wicker hamper packed full of chocolate delights.

The wicker hamper itself was quite large, about 18 x 12 x 8 inches in dimension with a wicker handle and leather straps; it would make an attractive storage container as well as a stylish picnic hamper. I am now dreaming of lazing by the side of a river with a delightful picnic spread before us on a balmy summer day. You never know, it might happen. 

The Chocoholics Hamper Supreme from KC Hampers

On opening the lid, I was rather excited to see The Chocoholic Hamper Supreme in all its glory. Several boxes of chocolate nestled in amongst the wood shavings and I reckoned I needed to open them. Here they are: Green and Black’s Tasting Collection (395g), Lindt Swiss Luxury Selection (145g), Thorntons Premium Collection (200g), Lindt Lindor Milk (200g), Lindt Lindor Assorted (200g) and a packet of Lindor milk chocolate eggs (100g).

KC Hampers offer a varied range of hamper gifts, from chocolate ones such as this, to pamper hampers, afternoon tea and hampers for the newborn. The Chocoholic Hamper Supreme is currently on sale for £54.90

Green and Black’s Miniature Bars

Some of you may have gathered by now that I’m rather a fan of Green and Black’s, so imagine my delight when I saw the Tasting Collection. Not only is Green and Black’s organic, but their chocolate is rather good too. The collection contained 24 miniature bars, two each of twelve different flavours. There was also a small bar of 70% dark chocolate, a few facts and figures and some tasting notes.

Miniature Green & Black's bars in a bowl.

With my Egyptian connections I was interested to read that almonds were found in Tutankhamun’s tomb, dating from about 1325 BC. Accompanying the tasting notes for each bar was a seductive looking recipe. I’ve bookmarked burnt toffee banana bread, along with pretty much all of the rest.

What I particularly like about the mini bars, is that you get to taste lots of different flavours without having to buy the full bars. This means, assuming you don’t know already, you can discover your favourites without having to munch your way disconsolately through a whole 100g. A bowl full of these cute bars also makes a colourful and tasty display to end a dinner party.

Lindt Selection Box

I have to admit, the Lindt selection box didn’t hang around for very long. I have a bit of a soft spot for Lindt. When I was an au pair in Switzerland, many years ago, it was the first luxury chocolate I ever tasted. It made quite an impression.

The box contained fourteen chocolates of varying types covered in milk, white or dark chocolate. They were all good with the Amande Croquante being my favourite. Poor CT didn’t get a look in. The “irresistible” Lindor, I have so far managed to resist as I like to keep these for sharing with friends and family, but I feel my resolve weakening with the passing days.

I generally find Thorntons chocolates to be a bit sweet for my taste these days, but I used to be a huge fan. CT might get lucky with this one.

  1. I love all kind of chocolates all the formats and tastes. But I recently became a big fan of maltesers. Though I love dark chocolates darker the better.mum yummy.

  2. I would love to see Divine Chocolate in the hamper. It is my favourite brand and is also Fairtrade, which makes it doubly nice.

  3. It would have to be something by Prestats of London. Absolutely stunning packaging and its the Queen’s big birthday so if its good enough for the queen…

    @balacath

  4. Lindt white chocolate, especially the balls are delicious. Melt in your mouth and I could just eat a dozen in one go and not feel yucky like usually from white chocolate!

  5. Ferrero rocher or Toblerone. Anything nutty as it feels a bit more nutritious. I eat a lot of chocolate so it needs to cover a number of food groups!

  6. Terry’s Chocolate Orange or Hotel Chocolat – both I am addicted to and are completely YUMMYTASTIC. Thanks xxx

  7. I love Hotel Chocolate items as there is such a wide variety and the chocolate quality is amazing – especially their dark chocolate

  8. Hotel Chocolat would probably be top of my list. I used to subscribe to their chocolate tasting club and some of their chocolates are amazing!!

  9. love to see more monty bojangles, they do such original flavours and would love more of their magic

  10. I would used to have said Cadbury but not since they have changed the recipe, so I say lets have some Galaxy in there

  11. Beech’s (Lancashire), so not local to me but their vegan dark chocolate lime and chilli thins are absolutely wonderful! Failing that, last Christmas a customer brought us in the most divine chocolates that were handmade somewhere in Devon but no idea where!

  12. Divine – they are ethically sourced and organic and tasty, everything that makes good chocolate!

  13. I would love to see Galaxy because it’s my favourite types especially galaxy caramel ☘❤️♥️

  14. Kinder because they are absolutely delicious and I love giving my children the surprise from the kinder eggs.

  15. I love Lindt milk chocolate bars – I always treat myself when we go on holiday to France. It is so smooth and creamy (making my mouth water now!)

  16. Ferrero Rocher, literally can’t get enough of them, would eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner! 🙂

  17. I would like to see Lindt. It is one of my favourites. This looks amazing though. I love chocolate.

  18. I would like to see Lindt chocolate. They have such a good range with some unique flavours. Especially the addition of sea salt and Wasabi.

  19. i would love to see some Lindt chocolate in it especially their praline chocolates because they are the best ever

  20. Kernow Chocolate from St Eval in Cornwall, hand made chocolate bars in delectable, imaginative, flavours – they’re fab! My favourite is Lemon Meringue but they make all sorts of bars in white, milk and plain. They’re perfect for British Hamper Co as they’re an independent company and very high quality. Oh, and DELICIOUS!

  21. is it wrong to say Cadbury’s? The hampers look great – and i’m sure Sarah and I could work our way through it easily. The kids don’t want too fancy chocolate – and my brother is very fussy (cheap and cheerful for him) so a few lighter bars would help appeal to everyone.

  22. I would love to see Terry’s Chocolate Orange in there because it’s not Terry’s, it’s mine! I can’t get enough of it! Love the taste of orange milk chocolate!

  23. I would love to see some little handmade chocolates or truffles from a local independant chocolatiers, something we have never tried before

  24. I would like to see Galaxy chocolate, as I know how good it tastes and it would make my mouth water to see it in the hamper!

  25. Some truffle or any chocolates to be fair from the independent chocolatier Chouchoute (in Birmingham) well worth the cost

  26. I would say Galaxy chocolate as it is my favourite,it is so creamy and luxurious which is perfect for a chocolate hamper!

  27. Green & Blacks – they have such a great range of different flavours. Mini ones are good because you can have a real variety without spending a fortune. Love trying new brands though,,,,so any artisan brand would be good, too.

  28. Selfridges have a range of chocolates which you buy individually and put in various sized boxes. I have not, to date, found one I dislike.

  29. Green and Blacks as it is mine and my family’s favourite chocolate. Making me hungry for some chocolate already!

  30. Prestat as I was lucky enough to try their assorted box earlier this year and they had some amazing fillings.

  31. I would love to see some Duffy’s Camino Verde 72% as I adore the taste and it’s great for baking with if you fan cy an indulgent treat 🙂

  32. This sounds like the most amazing selection of products, loved reading your post 🙂

    I think I’d most like to see Montezuma’s in there because they are a small, family owned, British company who produce a lovely range (and I would love to try their Absolute Black 100% Cocoa Bar!)

    1. Thanks Victoria. I didn’t know Montezuma’s did a 100% bar – fabulous. I haven’t had any of their chocolate for years, I really should try it again.

  33. Galaxy because it has always been my favourite brand of chocolate. Just really creamy and tasty.

  34. I’m not a chocolate snob, just eat what tastes nice, which to me is definitely not dark chocolate! It is too bitter for me. I bought some chocolate from Gnaw as they had flavours that appealed to me, nice and creamy, quite childlike Willy Wonka type flavours! I love nuts in chocolate too. My husband eats any chocolate. So he has all the dark choc and fruity ones (not keen on that either!)

  35. Going along with the idea of having products from small independent companies (which I think is amazing!) i would like to see some Ooh! Chocolata in the hamper

  36. I love most chocolate, my all time fave has to be orange chocolate anything this flavor goes down a treat!

  37. I had some artisan chocolates gifted to me once that were like beautiful little paintings and really exotic flavour combinations. I think boxes like this should always have something that takes you out of your comfort zone and makes you try something new

  38. I have recently discovered Rococo, they make the most delicious bars and boxes of chocolates. Would be a great edition to the hamper.

  39. I would love to see Hotel Chocolat as their chocolate is so yummy and they do some that are vegan friendly too

  40. I would like to see some very dark 80% solids chocolate which is wonderful for cooking and also good to eat!

  41. Niedereggar chocolate..I can’t resist anything with marzipan in it and they have some amazing flavours

  42. Not really a brand in mind, but would love white chocolate with nuts…Love both of them, so thought it was a good idea to combine them lol x

  43. Any nice and good quality brand. Preferably some nice dark chocolates. I’m quite picky as I come from Belgium … that’s why this hamper looks appealing :p

  44. Iain Burnett…Highland Chocolatier
    given the truffles as a gift from a friend and they are amazing..really special chocs!

  45. Guylian Praline chocolates – they’re so delicious & moreish and I could eat them all day!

  46. Not fussed by the brand, but I would love some white chocolate – Love the creamy taste.

  47. Wow any chocolate would be nice as I like it all , especially Hotel Chocolat so luxurious , amazing prize my mouth is watering 🙂

  48. Booja Booja chocolate truffles – not because they are dairy free (I’m veggie not vegan) but because they taste heavenly. I was given a free sample and you really wouldn’t believe they are dairy free.

  49. i love all choc especially dark choc as the kids dont like that haha the green n blacks ones mmmm

  50. There is a lovely chocolate stall on Greenwich Market (can’t think of their name, total brain fuzz). Their chocolates are beautiful.

  51. I love all chocolate!!! Lindt and Green & Blacks are delicious but I’ve yet to find a chocolate I dont like, please let me win this!!

  52. I’d love to see Kacao from Richmond featured – small batch producer and they work with my favourite tea company, Birdhouse, to produce tea-infused chocolate!

    1. Sounds delicious Laura. I’ve not heard of either Kacao or Birdhouse, but then I haven’t visited Richmond in more years than I care to remember.

  53. Maybe this doesn’t even qualify but we are a family obsessed with toffefee! Also I love Lindt creation pistachio!

  54. I would chose a milk chocolate box like Lindt Lindor as they could be shared with the teenagers in the house and leave the chocolates in this hamper all for me.

  55. I’d like to see Elizabeth Shaw’s chocolates range in the hamper because she caters for every occasion and uses a variety of chocolate to accomplish this.

  56. I would like to see Divine chocolate in this hamper because it really IS Divine, and ever so yummy!

  57. Paul A. Young (their caramelised milk chocolate is unbelievable, but last time I looked, their site didn’t have an online shop), Dark Sugars (very moreish truffles) or Café-Tasse or Élisabeth (these last two are Belgian chocolatiers I miss from when I lived in Brussels).

  58. I love all kinds of chocolate but I’ve never had Hotel Chocolat so that would be quite nice to try in the hamper

  59. Booja Booja dairy and gluten free chocolate – or Green and Black’s 85% Dark Chocolate because the antioxidants are actually good us!

  60. How lush is this prize. I’d have a girly night in with my daughter and see how much we could munch through!

    @balacath

  61. I would love to see Deliciously Honest handmade raw chocolates. Their chocolate is gluten free, dairy free and made without processed sugar. It tastes fabulous . I really like their raw lavender chocolate and also raw rose chocolate. They are based in Hampshire.

  62. Rococo is lovely, and I also love Godiva, Beechs, Choconchoc, The Raw Chocolate Co, Prestat, Pump Street Chocolate, Amelia Rope

  63. I would love to see Seed and Bean as they are handmade in England (and I like to champion British products). It is also an ethical Fairtrade and artisan brand of chocolate. Last but not least they taste fantastic and come in so many gorgeous flavours. My favourites being; lemon and poppy seeds, raspberry and vanilla, Cornish sea salt, hazelnut and almond…..plus lots of others!

  64. what a lovely looking hamper, beautifully displayed too!
    would love to see more galaxy – love the smooth rich, melt-in-the-mouth taste

  65. I love Hotel Chocolat, especially their fruit cremes and local Cornish brands are always welcome

  66. I absolutely adore Frys turkish delight so would love these to be in the hamper, i freeze them and they taste even better x

  67. I would suggest Green and Blacks as they do an array of flavours which all are as flavoursome as the last. Their mini collection would go beautifully in any hamper

  68. I am a big fan of Montezuma’s chocolate, such great tasting products, they are innovative and also make it all themselves!

  69. I’m not sure to be honest as I think the high street brands are not what I consider luxury. Perhaps some lesser known brands

  70. Have a split chocolate personality, love a luxurious creamy white chocolate but cannot beat a rich dark chocolate especially with raspberries, entirely depends on my mood. But always in mood for chocolate

  71. I’d love you to include chocolate made by the “Seasalt” Cornwall company as it is made locally in Cornwall, is delicious and a perfect fit for the “British” Hamper Company brand

  72. I’d love to see some Divine chocolate because it tastes great and is Fair Trade so win win for me

  73. I love all chocolate!! Lindt balls are delicious they would compliment your hamper also I love the Marzipan and dark chocolate bars too. I can’t remember the make, begins with N! xx

  74. Lindt as I’ve recently discovered them when I was given a box as a thank you. Cadbury’s used to be my favourite but they’ve not tasted the same for a while.

  75. Very lovely prize, and as usual, my mind goes blank at this sort of question. I do like the Booja Booja suggestion, then there would be something for my vegan daughter.

  76. I would love a milk or dark chocolate with an orange or raspberry crème in the middle! That would be lovely! I love a fruity cream in the middle of chocolate, yummy combination.

  77. id love there to be some gnaw chocolate bars included they do such a good variety and they are so yummy

  78. as long as they are truffles, I`d like some that come from a variety of small independent confectioners

  79. Love to try chocolate which isn’t the big brands as the chocolate is much more nicer so would be great to try some different smaller suppliers which are hand made

  80. That’s really hard to say, but I think any organic and all natural brand would be lovely to see more of. We eat a very clean diet in our home and it’s important to us to have more options. Lovely to see when new natural brands pop up, as the demand for healthy food grows 🙂

  81. Pemberton’s Chocolate Farm in Carmarthenshire produce some lovely chocolate. Would be great to have some from the Principality.

  82. My favourite is Lind chocolate! But highly recommend trying some polish milk chocolate GOPLANA!

  83. Green and Blacks white chocolate, something from the raw chocolate pie company or… (Dare I say it…?) a Wispa. What a philistine I am.

  84. Anything from Purbeck chocolate (Chococo) as they are independant and use local ingredients. Tastes better than cadbury/mars any day

  85. I would love to see Thorntons, as it is so yummy and my favourite chocolate. Thanks for the yummy giveaway.

  86. Trenance Chocolate as it’s a very yummy chocolate and it is made locally (I live in Cornwall) xx

  87. I have a thing for chocolate with salt in it… and even more so if it’s got caramel and salt in it. And the best I have ever had is from “Paul A Young” find chocolates – it’s amazing.

  88. I would love to see Green and Blacks chocolate because it is so tasty and comes in an amazing variety of flavours.

  89. Cocoa Mountain. They are based in the far north of Scotland. The landscape is stark, the wind usually howling and there’s nothing for miles around. In the middle of it all is a chocolatiers and they are so good at it with amazing, inventive flavours and lovely presentation.

  90. I’d like to see Gnaw chocolate. It’s a local (Norfolk) brand that looks amazing, but is just a little bit too expensive for me to treat myself.

  91. I’m a bit boring because my favourite all time chocolate is Dairy Milk. Would love to see some bars of that included. Maybe a few Fererro Rocher too.

  92. I love Montezumas, it’s tasty. Locally I have also bought Seven Hills chocolate, they have some lovely flavours.

  93. Monty Bojangles! Had an Easter egg of their, rich chocolate and scrummy truffles, give them a try as you won’t be disappointed

  94. I’m really torn with this question. I’m tempted to say “Guylian Seashells”. They’re so sublime and tempting – perfect for hamper treat. And yet, my fave add on in a hamper would be something special that I’ve never tried before 🙂

  95. I love Cadbury Chocolate. But I also love going to a local chocolatier and trying his handmade delights

  96. Booja Booja are my mum’s favourites at the moment as they are delicious and vegan too <3 I would go for lindor hands down, it's so smooth and melty…..and mmmmmmmmmmm…..

  97. My favourite chocolate of all time is Cadburys. You can’t beat a bar of good old Cadburys Dairy Milk.

  98. love green and blacks- particularly the butterscotch- delicious! thank you for the great prize!

  99. Rococo – bought my step-dad a lovely easter egg from them this year and I was very impressed with the detailing and taste!

  100. Plamil is simply the best chocolate around, for me! It’s dairy and gluten free, and they even have ‘no sugar added’ chocolate (and it’s super-yummy!)

  101. Far too many lovely chooclate brands to choose from! My chocolate of fancy at the moment though is Galaxy

  102. Hotel Chocolat, it’s such a luxury for me having chocolates from there! They are always so yummy as well 🙂

  103. It would be easier to tell you the chocolate the chocolate I don’t like rather than the brands I do. Don’t like Nestle, Thorntons or 85 % Dsark chocolate – everything else is good

  104. I love Elizabeth shaw mints because i love dark chocolate and mint with chocolate 🙂 Always been my fave

  105. I love most chocolate but it would be lovely to maybe include some chocolate from some smaller producers which might make some surprise flavours/combinations.

  106. Seed and Bean. Because it’s Organic, fairtrade and ethical, definitely feel less guilty eating a whole bar for this reason!

  107. I love Lindt chocolate, but I also love trying anything new and different. I especially love dark chocolate.

  108. No specific brand, but I’d like to see chocolate from small batch handmade sellers. They usually have some really interesting things

  109. I adore White Maltesers but they seem to have disappeared so would be very happy if I saw those in the hamper

  110. A good dairy free / lactose free chocolate bar or chocolates would be great. Like my daughter not everyone can enjoy the real thing

  111. Hotel chocolat as they are my absolute favourite, and I find that they actually last for ages because they are so rich, I only need one at a time!

  112. Hotel Chocolat is my favourite . As a company they care about sustainability and climate change, and their Rocky Road Slabs are to die for!

  113. Probably hotel chocolat, but I do love kinder chocolate but not sure it would fit in with this hamper, either would be fine by me!

  114. I would like to see Hotel Chocolat, as I love their chocolate slabs and always plump for the Rocky road one, with the combination of different pieces to bite into, it’s really nice.

  115. Dairy Milk as Delicious. Also Divine, as Divine. Also Lindor as Tasty. I do so like chocolate. Belgian chocolate/s Wonderful.

  116. i don’t mind as long as its tasty, not cheap and nasty tasting, something like Hotel Chocolat

  117. This is a comment not an ‘entry’! I’m posting on Charlotte Flowers Chocolates because I have honestly never tasted anything that blew my palette (and my mind) like these chocs do. I love her mint chocolate which tastes just like freshly picked mint – and I don’t even like mint chocolate! Artisnal, sustainable cocoa, locally sourced flavours from the Scottish hills and…well, try them! I am not connected to the business btw, i just loved them.

  118. My mother and nannies favourite topic of conversation is how downhill Cadbury has gone! Hotel chocolat is a real treat. And I like galaxy too. This hamper looks amazing! Fingers crossed.

  119. I know it’s in the picture but I’d love to try Monty Bojangles just because I’ve never tried them and they look great.

  120. Cadburys as I’m a huge fan. They have such a great variety, but i am more than happy with Dairy Milk.

  121. I would love to see chocolate from the raw chocolate company – their products are delcious and healthy

  122. My favourite chocolate brand is Booja Booja because their truffles are divine and they are dairy free.

  123. Caramac, there just isn’t enough caramac products to choose from! It’s my favourite treat

  124. Lindor balls the original are my favourites, best straight out of the fridge. I am Swiss and think we make the best chocolate 😉

  125. I’d like to try one of the Lakrids combinations of chocolate and liquorice, such as the Raspberry Chocolate Coated Chilli Liquorice.

  126. any chocolate in any brand is ok in my book! I have never had Hotel Chocolat so that would be nice to try.

  127. I’d love to see Ghirardelli chocolate from San Francisco! It’s so smooth and creamy, and VERY moor-ish!

  128. To be honest the chocolate I’ve mainly eaten has been produced by the big names, so I can’t really say which brand would be good in the hamper other than saying a range of chocolate from small artisan producers as it would seem more luxurious and special.

  129. I’d love to see Ferrero Rocher in there as they are delicious, there are lots of variety in the range and they have that little touch of luxury!

  130. I would like to see Booja-Booja Rum Sozzled Sultana Chocolate Truffles; choc and alcohol is a fab combo.

  131. On a recent trip to the Cotswolds I bought some chocolate from The Cotswold Chocolate company, it was absolutely delicious – so creamy! That would go down a treat 🙂

  132. No specific brand, but I’d like to see chocolate from small batch handmade sellers. They usually have some really interesting things

  133. Martin’s Chocolatier Raspberry, Marc de Champagne, White Chocolate truffles because they taste absolutely wonderful.

  134. Lindor or Galaxy as they are both my favourite brands – their chocolate seems to melt in my mouth! Delicious!
