Is it time for champagne? I feel it could be. I at all times used to get excited by Charbonnel et Walker’s Marc de Champagne truffles, £16/135g, which had been half pudding, half chocolate. However London Goodies’ champagne truffles are a brand new favorite with smarter, for me, credentials: single-origin Tanzanian cocoa, Taittinger champagne and a little bit of cognac, all in Jersey cream, £18/250g. A gorgeous, clear snap to the darkish chocolate with a sensational centre. Very grown up.
Pump Road’s new 44% single-farm Togo Swiss Milk, £6.25/70g, is a gold-star bar, which has grow to be my new favorite from Pump Road (which I consider as my native chocolatiers since we're each in Suffolk). With beans from Togo, the primary time Pump Road has used cocoa beans from Africa, and from a small co-operative of 100 smallholders. It’s received that pretty, creamy, treaty milk chocolate style that all of us want in February.
Lastly, Palm Chocolate are all date/nut-based, with no refined sugar. Perfect in case your new 12 months’s resolutions are going robust, but in addition in case you simply generally like, as I do, a bit field of candies that has extra healthful components. I attempted each the Restore and Steadiness bins, £12 every, with six bonbons a bit (hear: I take my analysis critically) and completely liked them. It’s tremendous darkish chocolate (100% Madagascan) round squidgy dates, with added components, together with nuts, tahini, seeds and spices.
