Following the recent launch of the ALL-NEW Boxed Selections, Hotel Chocolat is bringing a summer flavour selection in the format of a 9 and 18-piece. This expansion comes as fresh research highlights consumers are calling for chocolate during the summer season – with 95% agreeing they are lovers of chocolate all-year round whatever the weather¹.
The Summer Desserts Boxed Selections are filled with patisserie-inspired selectors including Passionfruit Cheesecake, Lemon Meringue and Orange Cheesecake to bring summer to life through cacao.
Teresa Peck, Head of Global Category Strategy at Hotel Chocolat, said:“We’re celebrating chocolate being grown in a subtropical area through this seasonal range. As there’s often a feeling of chocolate and summer not going hand in hand, but I’d argue chocolate belongs in summer due to its origin. So, that’s why we’ve developed summer focused products to help consumers enjoy chocolate during the sunny season through what we’re defining as the ‘Festival of Cacao’.”
The Summer 2026 range also features Ice Cream Swirls and Cocktails to Chill that reimagine chocolate so it can be enjoyed as part of every summer moment from family garden get-togethers to picnics in the park.
Available online now, the Summer 2026 range will be available in all UK stores from Monday 18th May with prices starting at £2.95. Seasonal Sundaes and Ice Cream of the Gods – infused with cacao – are also available at the Velvetiser Cafes.
