Ever wondered what goes into creating those delectable Hotel Chocolat treats? “Hotel Chocolat Unwrapped” takes a peek behind the curtain, from the cacao forests to the factory floor, and all the way to the shop shelves. This week’s episode is a whirlwind of activity, from store openings to ambitious chocolate creations.
In Thanet, manager Aaron and his team scramble to get the newest Hotel Chocolat store ready for its grand opening, facing the inevitable last-minute hiccups that come with any retail launch. Back at headquarters, chocolatier Rhona takes on a challenging chocolate sculpture, a delicate construction featuring butterflies that could break at any moment.
Meanwhile, newbie chocolatier Sammie is experimenting with new flavor combinations, specifically an alcoholic chocolate infused with champagne. But incorporating bubbly into the factory production line presents its own unique set of challenges. And finally, founder Angus takes a research trip to Chicago, aiming to crack the American market by uncovering the flavors that will tempt US consumers.
