After "gently" nudging my family not to give me chocolate for my birthday, I was really happy and surprised to receive three bars of Hotel Chocolat's 100% Dark Dominican Republic.

Now, I'm good at Lindt's 95%, but I'm really struggling to get on with the 100%. Do any of you have any tips to eating it? I've tried putting a teeny tiny bit on my tongue and letting it melt, but it's still so strong!

I don't want to let it beat me because I'm too old not to be a grown-up, so I'm begging you for help! :p

Mmmm, good ideas! I haven't attempted either yet as low carb versions. Might have to rope in the frozen avocados for a mousse...

Man, I want it NOW! (See, no hope - I'll never grow up!)

Thanks again.

Or melt little bit and add some cream to make chocolate sauce..drizzled on greek yogurt or whipped cream for pud.

@Pink_Minx I found the 100% a bit rich too :***:

I suggest you put this experience behind you and start dropping Easter hints for Hotel Chocolat ginger puddles as they are amazing!

:D Looking at the replies you've had....it is case of 'just ask and devil is more than happy to help'...if I were to ask; " I've got cupboard full of wheat flower...can't much carbs, what shall I do with them?" It would be either no reply or 'bin them'..I wonder why...:rolleyes:
Oooooh...chocolate cake.....(I don't usually have sweet tooth!).....I could just have a 'boat load' of that with cup of tea..MMMMM..:angelic:

OK, back and done!

@RobPL - I was tempted by your cake, but don't think I could stand having a whole cake in the flat without scoffing the lot! @Enclave - your freezy coco-choc-almond yumminess is in the freezer as we speak and I'm counting the minutes until I can get at it!

@Finsky - yep, the Devil has been dancing in my kitchen today!

How much longer do I have to wait..? :wacky:

I've still got two bars left, so I'll def be visiting the other suggestions!

@RobPL - how did the choc mint cake turn out?
