When Hotel Chocolat offered me a choice of their wonderful chocolate goodies, I didn’t want to go for Dasher the Chocolate Reindeer or the beautiful Enchanted Forest in caramel and milk chocolate. I knew these would be fabulous with the distinctive quality that Hotel Chocolat chocolates always have. I wanted to try one of their slightly more off beat products, White Chocolate And Raspberry Jam.
The jam has the tartness of raspberry with the intense sweetness from the white chocolate which balance each other really well. With a little stir when the jar is first opened, the jam is loose but not runny and the perfect consistency for toast, scones, Eggy Bread or, as I did baking.
I love jam doughnuts, but by the time you’ve fried them and doused them in sugar they really are a very naughty treat. Lorraine From Not Quite Nigella had a recipe for some delightful baked Donut Cupcakes on her blog, perfect for filling with the gorgeous Hotel Chocolat raspberry and white chocolate jam and then topping with cinnamon sugar.
Hotel Chocolat sent me the product to review, however all unbiased opinions are my own.

I said when I saw these on Lorraine’s blog that I was going to try them and I still haven’t got them made. Your cupcake/muffin/doughnuts make me feel ashamed. 🙂 Only a little bit. I want to EAT one.
Oh, their chocolates and other chocolate treats do look very good GG! Thank goodness they are over there and no closer to me!
You have me at white chocolate raspberry jam! These doughnut muffins awesome.
Yum, yum, yum… no other words needed GG.
What a great doughnut. I saw these on Lorraine’s blog and thought I absolutely have to make these – so much flavour and so delicious xx
I really miss the jam doughnuts I used to eat In London. They’re not quite the same here, actually there quite revolting. Like you said it’s a bit of a hassle to make them but these cupcakes look divine! Raspberry and white chocolate is a great combo.
What delicious looking muffins, love the filling!
Oh thank you so much for the lovely shout out GG! I love the sound of that jam too-white chocolate and raspberry is one of my favourite combos 😀

Love the combo GG. And I could spend ages just browsing in Hotel Chocolat stores. Serious heaven.
Oh my these look very dangerous. White chocolate and raspberry is such a delicious combo too.
These muffins are looking so yummy with the amazing filling. Specially the touch of white chocolate jam added immense beauty in its taste.
