Chocolate has long been considered an aphrodisiac but, as any cupid will tell you, it’s not what you eat, it’s the way you eat it.
With this is mind, the Häagen-Dazs shop in Leicester Square will be celebrating St Valentine’s Day with a special couples’ evening featuring its unique ice cream chocolate fondue. An intimate and irresistibly playful meal for two, the chocolate fondue mixes mini ice cream scoops with sumptuous exotic fruits, crunchy toppings, dark Chocolate Brownie pieces and a decadent Belgian chocolate sauce.
Especially crafted by Häagen-Dazs’ cupids to help spark the flames of passion, lovebirds will be able to share the fondue whilst relaxing in the romantic ambience of the evening. The special menu, created in conjunction with Jessica Walker handmade chocolates, guarantees to melt mouths and hearts alike. It includes:
Champagne cocktails – the evening begins with a glass of bubbly, with a Häagen-Dazs twist
Affogato – this classic Italian after dinner drink boasts a rich kick of espresso coffee, a heady stimulant for both the body and mind
Chocolate heaven – guests will also receive an exclusive treat to take home from the Jessica Walker handmade chocolate range. The ladies will receive a seriously stylish faux croc handbag containing an assortment of 5 creamy milk chocolate truffles in 3 scrumptious flavours. The men will walk away with a fabulous ‘Petite Box’ - a five-piece chocolate box selection
Cupid’s tool box will be raided to fill the shop with heart-shaped balloons and fragrant, fresh-cut flowers. Entertainment will be provided to ensure a “magical” evening is had by all and complimentary head and shoulder massages will leave lovers feeling blissfully pampered.
Strictly for romantics, Häagen-Dazs’ Leicester Square shop will play host to the proceedings on 14th February. The event will run over three sittings - the first at 7pm, the second at 8.30pm and the third at 10pm – admission will be by reservation only. Tickets are priced at £45 per couple and can be booked in advance by calling (020) 7287 9577*.
