That old romantic in me tells me that to miss Valentines Day after almost 35 years of marriage would be a mistake! That sets the tone for the rest of the year. A bit like missing your wedding anniversary… not something you really want to do.. it will become the one thing the love of your life will remember!<\/p>\n

The woman in my life enjoys those romantic gestures, thoughtful gifts and although diet conscious loves chocolate and a cheeky tipple.<\/p>\n

So in my quest to find a gift to show how much I love my wife I came across Hotel Chocolat and the perfect gift for Valentines Day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Love Potions contains 16 individual chocolates that I can imagine sharing with my wife and best friend over a romantic evening.<\/p>\n

Each chocolate with that cheeky tipple I mentioned earlier contains either rum, gin or vodka-based cocktail.<\/p>\n

There are four flavours to choose from.<\/p>\n

There are four Raspberry Daiquiri chocolates containing pressed raspberries, zesty Mexican lime and a glug of Saint Lucian rum.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then there are four Fine and Dandy chocolates made with lively gin, triple sec lemon and Valencia orange entombed in 40% milk.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They also include four Shaken Black Cherry chocolates which contain black cherry, Saint Lucia rum and hazelnut liqueur sealed in 40% milk.
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and finally, four Passion Fruit Martinis with a burst of passion fruit, a dash of vodka, a splash of Prosecco all served up in 70% dark chocolate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

OMG, these chocolates are really good! One bite is enough to keep you going for ages. Definitely not the type you binge on.<\/p>\n

And the centres are soft but hit the spot the moment you bite into them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So if love is in the air and you want to make an impression .. you\u2019ll certainly do that with \u2018Love Potions\u2019.
\n<\/a>
\n<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hotel Chocolat has a huge range to choose from and being a chocoholic I look forward to reviewing the rest of their range soon!<\/p>\n
