Cinnamon Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I have just been into Reading ,& a Hotel Chocolat has opened in The Oracle. http://www.hotelchocolat.co.uk/cx1/ I am not a great chocolate fan,but let me tell you,this place is fab The shop is very,very cool & modern, with the most gorgeous chocs you will ever come across. I had a sample of a prune,soaked in Armanac,robed in dark chocolate,& it was heaven. They do real chocolate all flaked up to make hot chocolate too It was all probably a bit wasted on me,not being much of a choccy lover, but I did buy a few bits & pieces,including strawberry & black pepper chocs, miniature rum truffles & balls of cinnamon chocolate to chuck into hot drinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Mmmmm sounds heavenly!! I adore chocolate so I'd run round the shop filling bag after bag . The only thing I love more than chocolate are roasted red peppers ! I could eat them till they came out of my ears! The cinnamon ball things sound wonderful. Drooling like Shona!

Cinnamon Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 I have just had a look at the site,& its much more expensive than the shop. Well, the shop has smaller things.....you know what I mean By the way, the strawberry & black pepper choccies are wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Sounds like an interesting shop. Fortunately Reading is too far for me to travel for chocolate Otherwise goodness knows what damage I'd do to the credit card.... and my back as I attempted to carry out several bags full .
