My name is Donna and I’m a chocoholic. Born in Birmingham, too close to Cadbury World, chocolate has always featured very heavily in my life. I enjoy at least one bar of chocolate a day and if not consumed, I’m a not a very happy lady. My husband, always looking for an easy life has now invested in a monthly taster box from the Hotel Chocolat Chocolate Tasting Club.

I have enjoyed all of box T16 and scored each of the 14 different types of chocolates giving four chocolates 10 out of 10. My favourites were the Tipsy orange truffle, Florentine Dream, Caramel Hush and Poire Belle William.

The Tipsy Orange Truffle – yum chocolate meets zesty orange – really have and always will love that combination. The Florentine Dream had a lovely sweet praline in caramel chocolate topped with Florentine biscuits – very sweet, and delicious. The Caramel Hush another lovely crunchy praline with a layer of soft caramel. Finally the Poire Belle William was a really interesting flavour, one that I have not enjoyed before, silky milk chocolate and cream ganache with a boozy pear surprise. Yum.

I always enjoy a lovely crunchy praline, or an orange chocolate flavoured number, but never before have I tried pear flavour with chocolate. This may be a new taste for the future for me to experiment with.

The Tasting box didn’t last long and now I just have to wait 3 weeks and 6 days until my next box to arrive.
