We have just been past Venchi on a bus, in Piccadilly. Never even knew they had shops here Italian Desserts Chocolate Collection - Venchi

a complex mass of conflicting ideas
I have bought a bar of this today but I haven't tried it yet because I also bought Pip & Nut dark chocolate peanut minis, they are imo lush! And due to trying to not eat too much dark chocolate/sugar in teh evenings I'm leaving the Hu bar til tomorrow. I bought the Cashew butter one
H&B also have raspberry & liquorice popcorn, which got munched quite quickly!

A quick plug for Josh. I scored a packet of his chocolate buttons at the weekend. Delicious, great flavour, good size and decent snap to them

I daresay there are people who say hotel chocolat weren't posh because they were only semi eyewateringly expensive and there are posher hand-woven artisan chocolates that you can mortgage your house to buy, but they were posh to me.Don't think I ever tried hotel Chocolat.

M&S Liqueurs are great. So far nobody has done it better generally than Linder.
Lily O’Briens are not great for me. I would rather save the money and get a Terrys Orange.
Hotel Chocolate are way overpriced but used to be good for free samples.
I am confident in saying you can’t get any decent chocolate in America,

I love milk chocolate with whole nuts but rather than have it in a bar, what about nice little squares. The milk chocolate is quite soft and not at all bitter. Not the poshest of the posh. I've just eaten a box full

I’m assuming you meant to put a photo of Pembleton off off Homicide (hat tip to the recently departed Andre Braugher) in the best fictional detective thread, instead of the Best Posh Chocolate thread? Otherwise, we may have a problem….

For me, the ethics and origin of the chocolate as well as quality and taste. Saw this earlier and had to try it
The Birth of UP-UP
We want to change the entire chocolate industry for the better, by prioritizing a human first chocolate industry. Human first means putting people before profit. It means opportunity before exploitation and it means putting the welfare of humans above the metrics of corporations.

Ooh I've just snagged some of those on Too Good To Go, not tried them yet. Läderach were amazing.
I wouldn't be buying any of these ridiculously expensive chocolates at full price or even half price and the ethics are not good but I happily pay 1/3 of retail to eat fancy Advent calendars in gloomy February, Valentine's chocs in March and Easter Eggs in July.

The only chocs worth buying are for yourself and not others.
with Venchi, the ethics seem OK.

I was given a posh box of Lindt chocolates by a neighbour at Xmas and they were awful. Bland nonsense - a real curate’s egg despite the adverts with the Toque wearing “Chocolatiers” There’s much better high cocoa chocolate to be had at Aldi and Lidl IMHO.

They've doubled in price
One of my guests always brought Hotel du Chocolate presents when he visited and I thought they were no big deal, no better than Thorntons just a new look and shops at railway stations.
I used to like Neuhaus which were a price and a half from Selfridges. Now I'm going to try Venchi bars, extra dark cremino, and orange filled, and Bacio di Dama from here, so thanks for the tip, hash tag

At £7.50 for 100g, some of the most expensive chocolate out there. If you want 2, they are cheapest at Waitrose.

I bought some brigadeiro this morning. They are not the texture of truffles, they are softer, like a smooth paste almost, full of flavour. .
