I was going to take
a little break from writing chocolate reviews, but then I saw Marabou’s
latest invention and I simply couldn’t resist! After all, it has
chocolate fudge (yum!) and raspberry fudge (I love raspberries!). I had
to have a taste.
The wrapping is
typical of Marabou’s milk chocolate tablets with just some variety
in terms of colours and images. The scent is simply sweet; without
knowing what’s in this chocolate, I don’t think I’d be able to
guess.
The milk chocolate
is the typical Marabou milk chocolate, which, although rather sweet,
is a good, solid milk chocolate which forms a perfect
background to various additions. The chocolate fudge bits are soft
and chewy and chocolatey – and very sweet, but that goes without
saying. The raspberry pieces are a little too few
and not quite tart enough to provide much of a contrast to the
chocolate or the chocolate fudge bits, but they are delicious - and they're bits of raspberry fudge, which explains why the taste is not particularly intense.
Lately, I've tasted so many chocolates with something crunchy and hard
and brittle that I welcomed the change in this one; the additions are
soft, and, together with the melt-in-your-mouth chocolate they form a
silky combo that caresses your tongue.
This combination is
very sweet, but is that a bad thing? No! I have to say that I liked
this a lot. I mean, chocolate in chocolate!!! And raspberries, my
favorite! (Well, one of my many favourites... I also love cherries
and strawberries and...) This is a limited edition, a specialty that
Marabou launched to celebrate their 100th birthday, so
grab it while you can!
