Hotel Chocolat has expanded its drinking chocolate range with two limited-edition seasonal flavours, introducing Lebkuchen and bringing back its Peppermint White variant.
The Lebkuchen hot chocolate takes inspiration from the traditional German Christmas market bake, combining warming cinnamon and ginger notes with the brand’s caramel-milk chocolate.
Joining the range is the returning Peppermint White, which offers a twist on the classic candy cane flavour. The drink combines Tasmanian peppermint with 36% white chocolate.
Both products have been developed by Hotel Chocolat’s in-house chocolatiers and will be available across the brand’s at home drinking chocolate range and in its cafes.
The launches add to the retailer’s seasonal offering, tapping into demand for festive flavours and indulgent hot drinks during the winter period.
