Hotel Chocolate buys cosmetic firm Rabot 1745

For £4 but of course it isn’t quite as cheap as the headlines portray! Will the new brand come to Q and you will get 2 for the price of one!

They already owned part of the company

Not the sort of bed mates one would put together.
Like having a piece of cheese with a lump of coal.

I have some body scrub from the Hotel Chocolat website.
just checked the packaging and that has Rabot 1745 on it.
One way of using up the cocoa shells I suppose.
It’s actually in a cup with with lid that can be used for takeaway drinks when finished.

In their own shops, Hotel Chocolat sold body products, if I remember they even had a perfume?

Hope it doesn't smell of chocolate. That's a bit like having digestive biscuit or peanut breath (ugh!)

The Rabot 1745 range has been in Hotel Chocolate for some time, and is very good. The lip scrubs are amazing, especially the Avocado and Lime!

I thought they were part of the same company. Isn't Rabot the name of the plantation where their cacao is grown?

I was bought loads of Hotel Chocolate for Christmas as everyone knows how much I love this range. I had to eat it all: it would be rude and wasteful not to. However I can't stand it now. Which is a good thing for my not so slim figure

I cannot eat dark chocolate, I had bleeding ulcers and dark chocolate gives me extreme acid reflux. I have been known to now and then(once a year perhaps), buy the violet creams 6 in a packet. I nibble at them.

What, I did do was just after Easter buy their Easter Eggs white chocolate down from £30+ around £15.

I will say the quality compared to Thornton's was massive, I find their chocolates very sickly. One or two and that was it, a friend used to get a large box at Xmas then try to force-feed me them to get rid of them. "Go on have another one." No.

I was sent some Hotel Chocolat to try. I got it as a reward from British Gas. I didn’t rate it at all so have never bought any of their chocolate.

We have two shops in Belfast City Centre, one has a coffee shop, and they did last year coffee for £1 even the Latte etc. They advertise their ice cream as the ice cream of the gods. No idea? Never tried it.
