Slattery's launches lockdown chocolate platters - and they won't stop selling out

Slattery's has launched new takeaway chocolate platters in response to the third lockdown.

The beloved chocolate shop and cafe is selling a range of sharing dipping platters while its doors have been forced to close by the current Government restrictions.

Each one comes with pots of chocolate to be melted down at home and masses of fruit, cakes and biscuits to dip into the molten chocolate pots.

The range includes a Valentine's Day board loaded with heart-shaped doughnuts, chocolate lovehearts and rose prosecco.

There's also a waffles and cookies dessert platter, which comes with Oreo and Lotus biscuit crumbs, crunchy chocolate pearls, marshmallows and fresh strawberries.

For anyone with a chronic sweet tooth, the £35 XL chocolate dip platter includes shortbread, brownies, fudge, pretzels, marshmallows, strawberries, Oreos, Lotus Biscoff biscuits, and three molten chocolate pots.

Much like the mystery boxes that Slattery launched during the first lockdown, the sharing platters have proven to be a runaway success with fans of the decades-old business.

The Whitefield-based chocolatier - which is usually home to the infamous chocolate challenge - has been selling out of the platters weekly since launching them last month.

Customers have described them as a 'game changer' and 'scrumptious' and begged the business to widen its delivery radius.

The platters are currently available for delivery within a five-mile radius, or for collection from the shop on Bury New Road - though Slattery has warned that there have been queues outside for collection at busy times.

The chocolate dip platters are priced between £10 and £35.

There's also a range of afternoon teas available, including a kid-friendly version and a Valentine's Day spread filled with heart-shaped treats.

Slattery's began with a bakery in Crumpsall in 1967 run by John Slattery and his parents, Margaret and Bernard.

There were later shops at Prestwich and later Whitefield.

The family bought the current premises in 2004. It was formerly the Masons Arms pub, but now houses a bakery, shop, cake making kitchen, and upstairs a restaurant.
