Hotel Chocolat - Tipsy Truffles Sleekster White, 295g

Product Information

Those who enjoy a blend of chocolate grades will appreciate our Mississippi Mud Pie Selector – a swirling slab of creamy white and melt-in-the-mouth milk chocolate. A sprinkling of cacao biscuit brings a welcome element of crunch while a drizzle of dark chocolate adds the final flourish.

Liquor Collection No. 1: A trio of tipples in one Selector: real Mercier Champagne with strawberry; a lively, floral London gin and Saint Lucian Rum with a twist of lime.

The sugar crust is able to capture the nuances and distinct flavours of the liqueur, drawing it out better to create that perfect, decadent bite. The exact answer is unknown. But what we do know is that Hugo Asbach is rumoured to have created liqueur-filled chocolates in Germany in the 1920s. His creative invention came in response to women being discouraged from drinking alcohol in public as it was considered ‘unladylike’. Next is our silky-smooth 40% Milk Batons. Each solid piece has been carefully designed to showcase the mellow yet cacao-rich notes of our signature 40% milk chocolate. With their elegant size and perfect snap, they’re ideal for nibbling, savouring and sharing. For an evening by the beach, try our Passion Fruit Chocolate Margarita Selector. Or mix it up with our Praline Soother. It features delicate notes of coconut cream, hazelnut liqueur and vodka. Whatever tipple you like to pair with your chocolate, we’ve got you covered! Browse our online alcohol chocolate selection to find the perfect one for your palate. Or choose a tipsy collection as a gift — you’re sure to bring a smile to their face!

Whether it’s a romantic gift or a dinner party treat, alcoholic chocolates are a winning combination. They give you all the nuanced flavour of your favourite drink, without having to worry about not being able to drive home! Our favourite alcohol chocolates But to no one’s surprise, some people have tried. One such attempt led to a dedicated test subject consuming 20 truffles which were around 5% alcohol in volume. At the end of the test, the blood alcohol reading on the breathalyser was a resounding 0.00. It’s highly likely your stomach would give out long before you got to any substantial levels of inebriation.

What are the Four Types of Wine

We know that alcohol and chocolate make a great pairing, which is why we’ve spent years experimenting with alcohol chocolate recipes. We wanted to move away from the old-school chocolate liqueur bottle-shaped shells filled with sweet, syrupy versions of your favourite drink. To fill this gap in the market, Asbach created delicious liquor-filled chocolates made with brandy. And the trend soon spread throughout Europe. Dark chocolate contains minimum 70% cocoa solids. Milk chocolate contains minimum 40% cocoa solids, minimum 14% milk solids. White chocolate contains minimum 36% cocoa butter, minimum 27% milk solids. Caramel milk chocolate contains minimum 36% cocoa solids, minimum 26% milk solids. Whisky: A shot of 12-year-old Speyside single malt — notes of apple blossom, pear and heather; smoky finish – all mellowed in a soft truffle. Whisky and chocolate. Sublime. As with all our truffles, we use high cacao chocolate to provide an irresistibly smooth shell to encase each of our tipsy treats. From the delicate sweetness of white chocolate to the rich complexity of 50% milk chocolate, each bite has been carefully selected to balance the punchy spirit within.

Celebrate a special occasion with Pink Champagne Truffles, presented in a gorgeous reusable tin. Transport yourself to a tropical paradise with each mouthful of our Chocolate Coconut Truffles. Or indulge in the elegant simplicity of our Mousse au Chocolat. Fans of milk, dark, and white chocolate will all find their perfect match here. For a beer pairing, opt for a refreshing pale ale to balance out the richness of the chocolate. We can’t help but recommend our very own cacao shell-infused beers. Our Cocoa Beer is just the drink to complement a good milk chocolate. Our smooth, not-too-sweet porter’s robust flavour is a great choice to complement our 50% milk. Both the drink and the chocolate have found the perfect balance between sweetness and depth of flavour. Dark chocolate When it comes to filling these tipsy treats, just about anything will work – except for bubbles. So put your prosecco, champagne and beer aside.Or perhaps cognac is your snifter of choice. Our 40% milk chocolate adds a smooth finish to the bold, spicy spirit in our Cognac Truffle — the perfect grown-up treat. Why not impress your dinner guests and round off a sophisticated meal with one of these? The adventure starts with our Everything H-Box – a varied selection of our most iconic chocolates. From patisserie-inspired Carrot Cake and Eton Mess to our bestselling tipsy truffles brimming with premium alcohol, there’s something to suit every mood. Just as certain cheeses pair well with certain wines, there are some types of alcohol that we think really set off the rich flavours of our chocolate. From creamy white chocolate to the most intense dark, here’s what we recommend to complement your chocolate. White chocolate Pair milk chocolate with a light white wine like a Pinot Grigio to really bring out the smooth, creaminess of the milk chocolate. The refreshing, crisp notes of the wine will cleanse your palate for the mellow cocoa notes running through our 40% Milk. A timeless treat with an ambiguous beginning. However chocolate liqueurs came about, they are a classic tidbit we adore at times of celebration. How do chocolatiers fill chocolates with alcohol?
