What has Hotel Chocolat told us?

After we saw the advert below in a recent Hotel Chocolat catalogue, we asked for more information.

Hotel Chocolat catalogue

Hotel Chocolat was reticent to give us details, but according to the Hotel Chocolat website, Beau Bunny will be handing out 80,000 salted caramel egglets.

It did tell us “The free egglets form part of the Beau Bunny tour and are distributed by the bunny character in store as part of the promotional activity tour. They are a bespoke product created for the campaign, therefore you can’t buy them in store.”

Search its site for caramel egglets, though, and it shows a 65g bag of six Pecan Egglets in caramel normally costs £3.75. Based on this we’d say the bespoke ones being handed out in stores are worth roughly 63p each.

Hotel Chocolat has said Beau Bunny will be at the stores as listed on the website but won’t be available all day “as the poor chap will need a break but he will be available throughout the day”. So there are no guarantees you’ll catch the bunny and grab your free chocolate, but if you’re going into these towns on those days anyway, it’s worth a try.

Give us a shout if you grab one, either in the discussion below or on our Forum.
