delicious Magazine January 2010 - Best Chocolatiers

Hot Chocolates is a bespoke little concern run by Sharon Grimshaw. Buoyed by compliments from guests at her wedding in 2005, for which she made the favours, Sharon honeymooned in Spain, “a country in love with chocolate”, and the idea for a business began to form. Now, from her Edinburgh base, she creates milk chocolate buttons at one end of her range, and a hamper with ‘a little bit of everything’ at the other. Lauded by The Scotsman newspaper is El Gordo (‘the fat one’), a presentation box of 48 hand-made truffles. The website also has great chocolate recipes.

The List Magazine Review January 2008

As a change from boring old chocolates why not make your loved one a silky smooth hot chocolate in the Spanish style, mixing a little cornflour into hot milk and then dropping in a handful of these wonderfully rich, deep flavoured choc drops. No sugar, no powders.
