Chocolate in the Sun: Debunking the Winter-Only Myth

Chocolate Isn't Just for Cold Weather

While hot cocoa and rich desserts are often associated with winter, chocolate is a versatile treat that can be enjoyed all year-round. Summer offers a plethora of opportunities to indulge in chocolate in refreshing and innovative ways.  We’ve got some great ideas on how you can continue to enjoy the chocolate you love, even when the weather gets warmer.

Cool Pairings for Warm Days

Pairing chocolate with summer staples can elevate your seasonal gatherings – people love chocolate, and people love the summer sun – what’s better than combining the two? Consider serving our fruit-flavoured chocolate pizzas alongside iced teas or lemonades – our Strawberry Sensation (now available for a limited time only) or Ultimately Orange pizzas would make great additions to a picnic spread or summer party table – serve them alongside actual fresh strawberries and orange slices for extra summery vibes. The combination of sweet and refreshing flavours is perfect for socialising in the warm weather.

Creative Summer Treats

We even have products specially curated for your next picnic! Try our Chocolate English Cream Tea box, affixed with chocolate ‘scones’ and ‘finger sandwiches’ to bring a whimsical twist to your next gathering – you’ll feel just like the Royals summering at Balmoral Castle! These treats are not only delightful to eat but also add a touch of fun.

Tips for Enjoying Chocolate in the Heat

Worried about chocolate melting in the summer sun? Store your chocolate treats in a cool, shaded area and serve them promptly to maintain their quality. Maybe even bring a portable insulated lunch bag or cool box with you to keep everything super fresh. Alternatively, enjoy them indoors as a delightful escape from the heat. A lovely piece of chocolate kept inside the kitchen is a great motivator to go back inside and reapply your suncream!

Chocolate for Summer Events

Don't forget, summer means there's also lots of events that will be perfectly complimented by chocolate! How about trying our Tennis Chocolate Pizza over Wimbledon, whether you're watching from Henman's Hill or from the comfort of your own home? Even better yet, summer is also the official season of weddings! Explore our Personalised Chocolate Wedding Favours, or perhaps our mini pizzas as a unique chocolate gift to thank the wedding party - guaranteed to keep all the guests happy and talking.

Embrace Chocolate All Year Long

Don't let seasonal myths limit your chocolate enjoyment. With a bit of creativity, chocolate can be a star player in your summer celebrations. Explore our summer collection and discover new ways to savour chocolate in the sunshine.
