Whether he adores a classic milk chocolate or something slightly more adventurous, we’ve included a wide range of our most popular recipes. From pralines and patisserie-inspired nibbles to fruity favourites and nutty creations, he’ll have a chocolate for every mood and craving.
From our light and airy Mousse au Chocolat to our wonderfully boozy Champagne Truffle, he’ll be delighted to find two of nearly every chocolate. Good things really do come in pairs!
If he enjoys nuttier flavours, he’ll adore the likes of our Dizzy Praline — a super-smooth melt of roasted hazelnuts and 70% dark chocolate, or our Florentine Isabelle — made with caramel, honey, hazelnut praline, and roasted almond. He’ll also find a selection of patisserie-inspired treats such as our Billionaire’s Shortbread — one of our earliest recipes made with hazelnut praline, white-caramel chocolate, toffee, shortbread biscuits, and 40% milk chocolate. Sounds marvellous, doesn’t it?
We've also included a few of our superstar experimental creations like the Neapolitan Macaron — an elegant sandwich of mellow chocolate discs and natural strawberry whip. We’ll leave the rest of the selection as a surprise for dad…

Boxed Chocolate Gifts
A collection of Hotel Chocolat’s most-loved recipes, in white, milk, and dark. Let them dive into 14 different recipes all dressed up for the main event, from a boozy Champagne truffle to a decadent Mousse au Chocolat. Something for everyone (or just for him).
Whoever means ‘father’ to you, show them your appreciation this Father’s Day with our ever-so-indulgent Father’s Day H-Box. Featuring a hand-picked selection of 14 of our boldest, most iconic chocolate recipes, we’ve diligently curated our H-Box to pamper Dad in the chocolatiest way possible.
What’s inside? A fabulous array of insatiable textures, rich chocolate grades, and exciting flavours.
If he has a penchant for the traditional, he’ll adore our Mousse au Chocolat and Dizzy Praline 70%. While our Mousse au Chocolat is a light and airy balance of cocoa and cream, our Dizzy Praline is a super-smooth melt of roasted hazelnuts and 70% dark chocolate.
If he never says no to a beautifully made dessert, he’ll certainly appreciate our patisserie-inspired Caramel Cheesecake, Fudge Sundae, and Eton Mess. Thick caramel, creamy white chocolate, yoghurt, mascarpone, and cocoa biscuits work together in harmony to form our Caramel Cheesecake, while gooey caramel is joined by smooth hazelnut and mellow milk chocolate in our Fudge Sundae. And our Eton Mess? He can expect the works — strawberry mousse, crisp meringue, and high-cacao white chocolate all take centre stage.
It doesn't even end there…
We’ve also added our fabulously fruity Raspberry Smoothie, wonderfully elegant Neapolitan Macaron, and perfectly boozy Champagne Truffle. There are a few more chocolates hiding in this never-ending H-Box — but we’ll leave those for Dad to discover!
Our Father’s Day H-Box is perfectly packaged for giving — surprise him in the most scrumptious way this June 18th.
The Classic Cabinet - £65.00
Boxed Chocolate Gifts
A two-tier showcase of Hotel Chocolat’s most celebrated recipes containing 61 iconic filled and solid milk, dark and white chocolates. From pralines and caramels to fruit truffles and tipples, this showstopper has it all.
Modelled after the legendary dark wooden cabinet in our Inventing Room, this collection features some of our most iconic creations. With milk, white, and dark recipes in every genre — from pralines and caramels to fruit truffles and tipples — the 61-piece Classic Cabinet is a true showstopper. Housed in an elegant box with two tiers, it’s guaranteed to impress guests and giftees.
Dessert devotees will adore our chocolatier’s take on favourite cakes, bakes, and puddings. Our Eton Mess uses tangy strawberry pieces in the mousse to capture that authentic fragrant berry flavour, while Caramel Cheesecake combines crunch and tang with soft French butter caramel on white chocolate cheesecake. Meanwhile, our Carrot Cake is delicately spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg and topped with real carrot. Who can say no to this quintessentially British treat?
Of course, no chocolate box is complete without a praline or two. Our 80% Praline is delightfully intense. A high cacao content showcasing hazelnuts in two ways: smooth praline and nibbed pieces for a ridiculously moreish crunch. If you like your chocolate to have a refreshing fruity twist, try our smooth and creamy Banana Smoothie or tangy Sour Cherry truffle.
Fancy a tipple? Have a cocktail on us, with our Mojito truffle — the warmth of the rum is lifted by crushed mint and lime. Alternatively, try a lively and floral Gin truffle or a silky Whisky variety with a oaky finish.
With lots more treats to try (and at least two of every recipe), there’s plenty to keep all your loved ones happy in the Classic Cabinet. Why not serve as a stunning, yet stress-free, centrepiece after dinner or treat that special person to an elegant, generous gift?
Velvetised Cream Espresso Martini, 500ml- £23.00
Tipples Gifting
A delicious mix of vodka, espresso, white chocolate and cream that’s Velvetised to create a smooth and elegant drink that’s best enjoyed over ice or stirred into a hot drink. Perfect for the father-figure that enjoys something a little stronger.
Also available in Chocolate, Salted Caramel, Salted Caramel & Clementine, and Mint.
Smooth, sinful, elegant: our Espresso Martini Velvetised Cream bottles the most decadent flavours, ready for you to enjoy cold or stirred into a hot drink. Vodka, espresso, white chocolate and cream, velvetised together for that undeniably silky-smooth texture. This tipple is dangerously easy to sip on! We’re partial to a shot (or more) all year round!
Chocolate and booze is a flavour combination which just works, and we like to think we know a thing or two about finding the right balance between alcohol and cocoa. We’re the only chocolatier to run two bars: one on our Saint Lucian cocoa farm and the other at our restaurant in London’s Borough Market, giving us a keen appreciation of which spirits work well with chocolate.
We wanted our own revolutionary espresso martini, strong in those punchy coffee notes, yet mellowed slightly with the creaminess of chocolate. The result? We settled on white chocolate for this alcoholic treat. Satisfyingly smooth and with a fragrant, subtly sweet finish, our white chocolate holds its own against aromatic coffee notes and warming boozy undertones.
We think this cream tastes best shaken and poured over ice. Just make sure you keep it chilled in the fridge beforehand. However, if you’re after a warming evening drink, our Espresso Martini Velvetised Cream also pairs beautifully with a milky coffee or rich hot chocolate.

Our irresistible Chocolate Velvetised™ Cream and a selection of elegant Chocolate Macarons make the perfect pairing for a moment of indulgence. Presented in a beautiful gift box, they’re ready to present to a loved one.
This sophisticated tipple-and-chocolate collection features a 200ml bottle of our Velvetised™ Cream. A delight for the senses, it melds cream and real chocolate, made with ethical cacao. A dash of vodka provides a warming twist.
Whether you savour each sip over ice, stir into your favourite cocktail or add a generous measure into a comforting cup of drinking chocolate, our Chocolate Velvetised™ Cream has a smooth texture like no other.
And if they want to really elevate the experience, they should try a taste of one of our Chocolate Macarons alongside it. Every bite will complement the deep cacao notes within the Velvetised Cream. Inspired by French patisserie, our chocolatiers have taken the essence of the classic confection and given it an innovative chocolate makeover. Light-as-air hazelnut whip is delicately sandwiched between two solid milk chocolate discs. The result? A heavenly blend of textures and melt-in-the-mouth satisfaction.
Whether you’re looking for a luxury chocolate gift or a little something for yourself, the Chocolate Velvetised™ Cream & Macarons Collection is an ideal special treat. Sending to a friend? You can even add a personalised message — take a look at our gifting options at the checkout.
Salted Caramel Cacao Vodka Liqueur- £26.00
Tipples Gifting
Sumptuously smooth salted caramel, melted into cacao vodka is the perfect serving over lots of ice.
First we infuse our vodka with a malty, toasted edge of cacao, then melt in salted caramel. Our expertise? We’re the only chocolatier to run two bars; one on our Saint Lucian cacao farm and the other at our restaurant in London’s Borough Market. Not only is this a lot of fun, it also means we’ve learnt a thing or two about what cocoa shells add to vodka infusions mixed with sea salted caramel best loved in our chocolate. Result? Perfection, bottled. Serve over lots of ice.
