Beat the January Blues with Healthy Chocolate

Beware! The mid-winter blues can strike any of us at this time of year but there is a cure – wholesome, healthy chocolate! Eating good chocolate high in cocoa solids can help boost your mood thanks to blues-busting naturally uplifting compounds: Trytophan, Theobromine, Anandamine and Phenylethylamine.

Good quality chocolate with a high cocoa content contains the most of these beneficial compounds. But that doesn’t just mean dark chocolate at Hotel Chocolat – our policy of more cocoa and less sugar means that our milk chocolate contains a whopping 40% cocoa solids.

Spice up your taste buds!

And why not add even more uplifting spice to the chilly mid-winter with one of our favourite combinations – chilli & orange. Smooth chocolate with the perky tanginess of natural orange and the tantalising warmth of chilli. After all, chilli and chocolate is where it all began with the ancient Mayans 1500 years ago!
