Chocolatier Cafe Society


Taste

Chocolatier has all these different varieties of boxed chocolates, each with very interesting themes. The Cafe Society contains:

  • Short Black - a smooth combination of coffee and rich dark chocolate - this one is quite nice, the chocolate rich and with a cafe aroma.
  • Hazelnut Gateau - a whole hazelnut encased in creamy praline and milk chocolate - this was my favourite. The hazelnut pairing very nicely with the praline.
  • Cappuccino - fresh brewed combination of coffee and milk chocolate - this one was too sweet and not enough coffee flavour.
  • Mud Cake - rich dark chocolate blended with soft creamy caramel - not bad, but I'm not a fan of caramel because of the sweetness, but the dark chocolate made it more bearable.
  • Coconut Torte - a beautiful blend of toasted coconut and hazelnut praline - I like this one too, the coconut added a slight crunch and I love hazelnut praline!

Look

This is one of the cutest packaging I've seen. Each chocolate is very distinctive, and they all resemble little cupcake. The box is very nice too, coming with a tray that supported all the chocolates.

C-factor

$10.95 for 10 chocolates (130g all together). I think I can get better quality chocolate at that price, but you've got to try before you know!
