Tina C Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 No! But am going to a book launch next month - The Chocolate Lovers' Club by Carole Matthews - looking forward to the chocolate! http://www.thechocolateloversclub.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 No, but they opened a shop in Reading a few months ago. I have to DRAG the girls past it whenever we go shopping I don't really like chocolate that much,but their really black stuff is very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Yes - I used to be a member & loved the sample boxes I got every month or so. I think they were £7.99, but they were pure indulgence! There is one of those shops at Telford shopping centre I think, it's expensive, but ooo those slabs of chocolate look gorgeous! I love pralines, truffles etc. Shame I can't have eh? Perhaps I'll have a little treat from there when I've lost all my weight!

helenp Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hi, My hubby is a member of the club, it is £14.99 per month & you get a 10% discount card for the stores. The Christmas box is made up of the best ones of the 12 months!!! You can have a milk chocolate, dark or a mixed box, he has the mixed box. They do marzipan fruits, truffes, my favourite are the slabs of chocolate, pure sinful pleasure on a winters afternoon with the fire on & a classic movie!! I would say to anyone JOIN NOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaR Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I've been a member for about 3 years now. Would recommend them to anyone. Fab service and the best choc's ever! I turn my nose up at Thornton's now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Thorntons are just mush & too many the same as each other! Hotel chocolate used to do chocolate rum raisins, they were lethal. I also liked the orange pieces / batons in dark chocolate. Anyway, did you know that Thorntons is the same chocolate(s) as Marks & Spencers? They manufacture for them! Hotel Chocolate - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I'd like to stay in a hotel made of chocolate, but my waistline wouldn't!!! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladylucan Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Its great, you get sent a sample box every month, and you ahve to give your marks out of 10 on the whole box, expensive, but really worth the indulgance...... web address is http://www.hotelchocolat.co.uk/ Happy Eating xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milly Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'm a member and every month I think "I really should give it up, it's a bit expensive" and then the next box comes and I can't wait to open it ot see what the new selection is. I would like to say it's the only chocolate I eat, but that might not be strictly true Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Thorntons are just mush & too many the same as each other! I've been brought up practically from birth on Thornton's. I like them. Anyway, I now have a 30 chocolate box of Hotel Chocolat, (white and light) so I've started tasting them. All in the interests of research you understand..

Milly Did you know that you don't have to have a box every month? You can request they send one every two or three months instead. I went from monthly to quarterly when we were trying to tighten our belts a bit. I spend 11 weeks and 6 days yearning for the next one.

Milly Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I think if I was trying to tighten my belt something else would have to go, I really look forward to the chocolates Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basset Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Wow, that's bizarre that Thornton's and M&S are the same chocolates, because I like Thonton's but really dislike M&S chocs!! I like the sound of Hotel Chocolate, must think about signing up!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 we visited the shop in Nottingham and got a couple of small slabs each, they werte absolutely gorgeous. I have to say, i'm not really one for chocolate though, sweets are my downfall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
