PURVEYORS OF HAPPINESS
Ideally you’d have one of our
chocolate flake truffles on hand for this bit, or maybe a
hazelnut one. Then you’d taste it. At which point you’d
hopefully be in agreement that we at Butlers have succeeded
in bringing a little happiness into the world.
Oh sure, so it sounds a bit crazy: the idea that chocolate
could make the world a nicer place to be. But hear us out.
Because at Butlers, when we look at one of our roasted
almond pralines, say, we don’t just see a chocolate. What we
see is a little moment of happiness.
And we reckon that if just such a moment could be
experienced by a great many people, and on a regular basis,
why then the world might become a happier place.
Think of it like this: if chocolate can cheer you up just a
little bit during the course of your busy day (and it can),
then perhaps you’ll greet the next person you meet with a
smile. And then perhaps that person in turn will be a little
bit more cheerful when they next meet a fellow human being.
And so on. Hey, you never know. Sooner or later we could be
looking at a whole little community of happiness.
Okay, so it’s just an idea. But it’s one we’re very happy to
be putting into practice. Are we really serious about this?
Well, sample one of our raspberry truffles, perhaps. Or a
hazelnut one. Or one of those pralines. Or whatever takes
your fancy. We hope you’ll agree that we’ve succeeded in
bringing a little happiness to the world. After all, it’s
what we’ve been striving for since we were founded - in
Dublin’s Lad Lane in 1932. Purveyors of happiness? It’s in
our job description.
HISTORY
Since 1932 we at Butlers have
devoted ourselves to bringing a little happiness to the
world. We do this by means of our delicious chocolates. And,
because nothing complements happiness like coffee, by means
of our cafés.
The Butlers Chocolate Café? Well, imagine if you will, that
the state of happiness had an embassy. That’s what we did.
We thought of a place where the ordinary world – the world
that says you don’t have time right now to be happy – would
have no jurisdiction. Somewhere individualistic, luxurious;
somewhere that serves the highest quality coffee and
chocolates in a stylish, welcoming and characterful setting.
We opened our first café in Dublin in 1998. And it was a
great success. As a result, in the years since then, we have
opened a further 14 Butlers Chocolate Cafés – in Dublin,
Cork, Galway and New Zealand.
This experience has been extremely beneficial, giving us
valuable time to work at improving the concept and
developing the product range and service. We are proud to
say that today in Ireland; Butlers Chocolate Cafés enjoy
more success than ever.
In 2006 Butlers decided to launch the Butlers Chocolate Café
concept on the international stage. And to do so by
enlisting the help of capable and well-motivated
franchisees. We reckoned that franchising would be the ideal
way to introduce Butlers Chocolate Café to a broader
audience. By combining the Butlers Chocolate Café brand with
the expertise and local knowledge of franchisees ‘on the
ground’, we could ensure that product and service quality
would be maintained – with no restrictions on location.
Visit our first outlet in
Pakistan in Karachi, located in the main upscale shopping
area of Zamzama. We look forward to indulging you.
SPECIAL BUTLER'S RECIPE
(JUST FOR FUN!)
Butlers
Molten Chocolate Volcanos
Ingredients:
50g Soft unsalted butter
350g Butlers 70% Dark Chocolate (6 x 70% bars or 3.5 x
Organic 70% Bars)
150g Caster Sugar
4 Large Eggs, beaten with a pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
50g plain flour
6 individual ramekins / moulds
Buttered baking paper
Method:
The nice thing about this recipe is that you can prepare the
mixture in advance and put it ready and waiting in the
prepared ramekins in the fridge until you are ready to cook
them.
Pre-heat the oven to 200 C Degrees / Gas Mark 6, putting in a
baking sheet at the same time. Lay 3 of the moulds on a
sheet of doubled baking paper. Draw round them, remove, then
cut out the discs as marked. Press them all into the base of
the ramekins.
Melt the chocolate and let it cool slightly – (2 minutes on
high, stir, 1 min on 70%, stir and 1 min on 50% if you are
using your microwave)
Cream together the butter and sugar, gradually beat in the
eggs and salt, then vanilla. Now add the flour, when all is
smoothly combined scrape in the cooled chocolate, blending
it to a smooth batter.
Divide the batter between the six ramekins, Cook for 10-12
minutes (the extra 2 minutes will be needed if the ramekins
are fridge cold when you start) and as soon as you take them
out of the oven, tip out these luscious cakes onto small
plates or shallow bowls.
Serve these with whipped cream, crème fraîche, crème
anglaise or ice cream. |
