The best chocolate in London

[spacedonkey]

is to be found at Melt a new shop on Ledbury Road.

There was an article about it in the observer food magazine - we went there today and omg it was full of customers in throes of orgasm

The guy who runs the shop and makes the choc works at the back of the shop and he's really friendly (and so sweet - he had chocolate all around his chops!). He gave us a few free tastings - the choc made with fresh mint is amazing.

Also he does thick, rich, not-too-sweet hot chocolate. Heaven.

GO THERE!

oops - sorry!

Yes it is HoxtonChick! I just hate scented cordials, elderflower anything etc, so didn't like the look of this. The other bar is organic smooth milk choc - that's more like it!

Anyone had the Green and Blacks dark chocolate with dried cherries in it? Very nice. Rather like Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia but not so sweet.

I think the truck is new. It's one of those ice cream trucks.

I haven't tried the Marcolini. Anyway, it's dark, and since having DS1, I don't like dark chocolate any more. Which I know makes me a philistine.

There's a Marcolini shop on Lancer Square, just of Kensington Church Street too. Heaven. The chocolate coated fruits (peach especially) are to die for. Much better than Montezuma IMO. Will check out Ledbury Road though...
