Our Verdict
We're not over-exaggerating when we say these are the best chocolates we've tried in a long time. The quality is quite incredible. The chocolate itself is perfect - it snaps, it tastes beautiful, and feels great in the mouth. And the flavourings are something else - stunning salted caramel, crunchy Dubai-style pistachio, a burst of raspberry and cherry... whatever the flavour, they all melt in the mouth.
Price-wise, we were pleasantly surprised when we looked up the prices (e.g. £22 for 12) - the way they are packaged and how they taste would suggest they're worth way more!
