They have different kinds of hot chocolate to choose from, which is great, but the best part is you can add chocolate whipped cream on top. 3. This hot chocolate is the best hot chocolate I've tasted. It was so rich and smooth, and the whipped cream was so perfectly light and chocolatey. 4. As for the store, they have so many different chocolate products, like they have a shelf of all of their bon bons. I left with a bag of different bite-sized chocolates to have a little tasting at home. My favorite is the raspberry panna cotta. 5. This spot is perfect for a hot chocolate break and for souvenirs.

A little less than six pounds I was expecting a more premium and refined taste. Nope. Unlike the other chocolatier joint I visited that offered hand-crafted hot coco, this one was straight up from a machine. Tasted like liquid coco powder heated up, key word being 'heated.' And just because it was heated doesn't mean it was hot per se. The beverage was offered nothing more than lukewarm at best . They didn't even fill it up to the brim. It was filled about 80 % .

I once read that the highest quality chocolate satisfies after one piece, and with Hotel Chocolat I…read morediscovered this is true. It is not cheap, but the six chocolates in a packet are rich, flavoursome and mouthwateringly superb. The entrance is dominated by tempting (but highly priced) giant slabs of chocolate in a wide range of flavours. Beautiful in appearence, they make excellent gifts for the person who has everything (except enough chocolate, there is never enough chocolate). At the rear of the shop the selections of small packets of six chocolates are helpfully arranged by chocolate colour, fruit and nut selections. The varieties change regularly, which keeps you coming back for more I would not recommend this chocolate for children; too expensive. Buy them a bar of the ordinary stuff, and save this initiation for when they are old enough to appreciate it!

Here's how you do Valentine's Day in Norwich:…read more 1. Stop outside of Chapelfield mall for carnations, 75p each for 6 ("Cost more 'cause of the holiday, sorrey," the vendor said, as if 4.50 GBP was going to break my soul). 2. Go to Hotel Chocolat for AMAZING chocolate. 3. Head to your local wine vendor, for a bottle of cheap but pleasant shiraz to go with said chocolate. 4. Distribute the carnations and chocolate to your girls, watching their faces light up because they also do not have men. 5. Go back to your room and watch "Hitch," while eating the remaining chocolates and drinking that whole bottle of shiraz... alone. (Queue sad Charlie Brown music...) Point is, Hotel Chocolat has a fantastic array of chocolates, from my favourite espresso-flavored, to decadent truffles. The gift boxes are also amazing, and can be ordered for various occasions (though I must say that I ADORE that they made "self-indulgence" an occasion). The best bit about Hotel Chocolat is that it's not a cutesy candy store; it's a chic, sexy, modern chocolate shop. NBs, the sales people were not always so knowledgeable about chocolate itself (which I thought would have been an asset), and they insisted that they didn't take Scottish currency... in case I had any, I guess. (p.s. I'm pleased to report that Hotel Chocolat is now available in the States! Yayyy!)

Kept in pristine condition the store is stacked high of chocolates, sweets, cakes and more you feel like you are part of history. The staff are very friendly and although the prices are slightly above average, they are worth every penny. Upstairs is a restaurant and so you are able to get chocolate up till 11pm at night sometimes providing you are eating in the restaurant.

No, I haven't ever seen another one other than this one in Colchester. And, really, Colchester is the perfect place for a 'Ye Olde' candy shop, so I'm going to pretend that it's the one-and-only. Situated on a very quaint and medieval-looking lane, Mr Simms jumps out at kids and adults alike, with its dark brown wooden façade and recreated 'olde worlde' windows that allow passers-by to peer in and gawk at the floor-to-ceiling rows upon rows of delicious, sugary delights, with classic and newfangled sweets equally represented. Whether you pick out individually packaged fudge from the self-service shelves or ask for a staff member to measure you out half a kilo of gummy bears and three snakes from the candy hoard behind the counter, you'll leave this place with enough child-like, sugar-induced euphoria to get you through to next week. Or, at least through to the end of your sugar rush.
