Chocolat-ier the new confectionary craze

Walked past and saw this cute shop selling confectionery and skin care products made of Chocolate.

 

 

It reminded me of LUSH and SKINFOOD.

Although they specialise in chocolate skin care, they have chocolate confectionery too such as chocolate and nuts, a big range on yoghurt covered berries, chocolate covered nuts and gift sets.

For the yoghurt-covered fruit, there were cranberries, strawberries, pineapples, cherries, blueberries, raspberries and nuts too.

The ones that had real dried fruit were pineapple, blueberry, cherry and raspberry, the strawberry and cranberry were like a berry version of maltesers.

They are said to be able to keep for a year without going off, but Hong Kong is a hot and humid place, which makes it difficult and the fact you cant stop eating them!
Yoghurt covered dried fruit and nuts are very common and cheap in the UK, infact you can get them at Pick and Mix stalls.

The staffs at the shop had pretty eyes and spoke good English.

Chocolate almond:
This was very impressive, there was a good ratio of chocolate and almond, and it was not too sweet, I was told it had a slight savoury taste. It is a good one to start off with, because the taste isn’t so intense.

Chocolate covered nuts:
My favourite was the brazilian nut, they had chocolate sunflower seeds too!

Yoghurt covered fruits:
Overall they were good, the texture of the yoghurt coating was a bit like marzipan, and sugary icing.
The taste was not too sweet or overpowering and it complements the fruit.
The pineapple was nice, but I found the texture of the pineapple bit too moist and soft.

The cherry and blueberry were the best, especially the blueberry because it had a strong taste, and it was slightly chewy too and the berries are not freeze dried.

 

For the raspberry it was a whole freeze-dried berry inside which gives it a different experience and the coating was decorative too. It is similar to the Japanese versions.

The cranberry and strawberry ones were like berry maltesers!

Anyway the white yoghurt covered ones are a must try, because the yoghurt covering is different from the Japanese sugary ones.

I was quite surprised there hadnt been any reviews and it wasnt listed, despite it is right next to Crumbs, Kami Teapresso, that new taiwanese grilled cakes and Roll across the road.

Bought them previously as written in the review below:

This time they had coconut mushrooms from the pick n mix shops from UK.
Since I was homesick, I got some.

The rest of the chocolates tasted as good as before, I got the blackcurrant one which wasnt there before.
It is good to see that they are getting popular in Hong Kong.
