Post by: oldspice on October 18, 2009, 09:11:00 am

WOW!

My daughter found these for me. Bitter dark chocolate around a GINGER FONDANT!

I haven't been so excited my something ion a long time!

Delicious!

I think I'd love the ginger fondant filling but the chocolate contains 95% cocoa solids...I really struggle with any dark chocolate over around 65%, it's just too intense for me.  Shame.
Maybe I'll buy some anyway just on the off chance...

The chocolate is so thin and the fondant so thick that you'd hardly notice the bitterness of the chocolate.

Oooh in that case I'll probably give these a whirl.  It's shopping day tomorrow and I know for a fact that my local Asda doesn't sell the Milka with Daim that I wanted to try so perhaps they will have some of these in stock instead.
I love ginger.  There aren't enough ginger sweets. I used to love those boxes of candied ginger you used to be able to find in the shops quite easily but I haven't seen one for years now :(

Spotted these in Wilkinson the other day - they also do mint or orange and chilli varieties. A bit expensive at £3.72 for a fairly small box, but they sound like they might be worth a try.

Oldspice - it may interest you to know that Marks and Spencer are doing boxes of ginger chocolates this year. There's a whole range of quite posh looking little square boxes and these are amongst them - £1.99 for 100g.
