Miss Hope's Chocolate Box

A mouthwatering collection of 50 chocolate recipes, from the wonderfully original and quirky confectioners, Hope and Greenwood

We experimented with every recipe in confectioner Hope and Greenwood's last book Life is Sweet... so we're doubly excited about their brand new read

Hello Chums, 
 
Welcome to Miss Hope's Chocolate Box. I have been in the Sugar HQ kitchen writing down all my favourite chocolate treasures so that I can share them with you. Here you will find fabulous recipes for Pear and Chestnut Truffles, Strawberry and Cream Lollies, Black Forest Fudge and My Mum's Fairy Princess Cakes all laced with the finest chocolate. 
 
I am naturally intrigued by gossip and trivia and you will discover my irreverent chatter interspersed among the recipes. Who would have thought that Romanian for 'Snap! Crackle! Pop!' is 'Clampanitul! Auzi! Pop!'? Would you have guessed that the chap in the kilt on a Camp Essence Coffee bottle is called Major General Sir Hector Macdonald? No, you see, I am here to enrich and enlighten you with a smorgasbord of life-changing facts. 
 
Please also give a warm welcome to my more eccentric recipe contributors, Hans Rollo the Human Slinky, Betty Bright, Squirrel Greenwood, Fearless Freddie the famous entrepreneurial monkey and Cap'n Broderick Leadfoot, the cross-dressing pirate, without whom I am nothing. 
 
So, let's begin.
