WE all love a sweet treat now and again, especially if it comes with a discount.
Rather than spending a small fortune though, Hotel Chocolat fans have discovered away to get the luxury chocs for a fraction of the cost.
The luxury chocolatier has become a staple of the British high street since 2004, when it opened it’s first ‘boutique’ in North London.
Whilst foodies are obsessed with the mouth-watering treats, these chocolates come with an equally eye watering price tag.
For instance, a pack of six praline chocolates will set you back nearly a fiver (£4.95) - which is a price that many chocoholics are willing to pay.

If you are looking to get a sweet treat without the hefty price tag though, you are in luck though.
A US woman has found a secret Hotel Chocolat shop, with some classic choc reduced to better than half price in store.
Whilst it sounds too good to be true, content creator Iniki gave fans a tour of the Huntington factory shop on Tiktok and even revealed what was on offer.
Ironically, she admitted that she didn’t crave chocolate until being introduced to the UK brand by her other half.
“I used to never like chocolate and I guess that’s because I’d only been eating American chocolate my entire life. I always just assumed I didn’t like chocolate,” she admitted.
She added: “When I moved to the UK and Sam showed me Hotel Chcoolat, I was like ‘what have I been missing my entire life?’”
Having missed out on a lifetime’s supply of chocolate, she made up for it by exploring the outlet store.
Like a literal kid in a sweet shop, the first thing that caught her eye were an adorable posse of penguins – which hit shelves in the run up to Christmas.
The advent calendars drew her attention, with the an assortment of dark, caramel and milk chocolate versions all on offer.
If that weren’t tempting enough, the store was selling two for £20 - despite them usually costing £27.50 each!

The Christmas theme continued, with three crackers for £12 instead of £5 per decoration.
Even cream liqueurs were reduced, as a 500ml bottle of Salted Caramel Chocolate Cream sold for £18 rather than £23.
Of course, Iniki had to stock up on the sweet treats with the US woman even buying extra items to ship home to her loved ones.
As her video came to an end, she revealed that she’d spent £81 in the outlet store with five boxes of hot chocolate, two advent calendars and even gift set coming home with her.
“This is such an upgrade from Hershey’s,” she gushed, adding “I don’t even know how people eat that anymore.”
Whilst you might not be able to make the trip to Huntington as the content creator did, Hotel Chocolat do have other outlets across the country.
This include another factory shop in St Neots and an outlet at the 02 Arena where you can pick up similarly sweet deals.
