Halloween Chocolate Tasting Experience

Hotel Chocolat is bringing back its guided seasonal tastings on Saturday 24 October, and this time they've gone full Halloween. It's their first run of these sessions in a year, so if you've been waiting for them to return, this is the one. The tasting takes place at their shop at 8 Fargate in the city centre, and it's a standing session that lasts about half an hour.

The tasting itself works its way through a curated selection of classic and all-new autumn recipes, so you'll get a mix of the familiar and the new. Once you've worked through those, you get to pick your own treat from the store's Halloween boxed selections, which include things like Grim Treaters, Oozy Eyes and Ghastly Ghouls. Along the way, the team helps you figure out your 'Chocolate Love Match' from a few different characters, like Patisserie Dreamer and Serious Dark Fix.

There are a couple of practical things to keep in mind before you book. Because it's a standing tasting, it isn't suitable for anyone with a nut allergy, and it's not recommended for a vegan diet. That said, they can provide vegan chocolates for any friends you bring along if you get in touch with them beforehand. It's a short session, so it's easy to fit in around other plans on a Saturday afternoon.

Tickets are £12 per person, and you'll find them at the Hotel Chocolat on Fargate, 8 Fargate, Sheffield City Centre, S1 2HE, on Saturday 24 October.
