For the Love of Candy

My 50th review–yay! Thanks to everyone who reads this, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I do writing it.

These were another stocking gift. True to name, they’re candy cubes, wrapped in red foil wrappers with white dots to suggest dice. The dice came 8 to a red net bag. The address on the label is German, so I have high hopes for these.

The candy itself is a small brown cube, and instead of covering it with chocolate or making it solid, they simply made a hazelnut-chocolate cream and shaped it into a cube. It’s a novel approach that I quite like. The cube has a mild aroma, reminiscent of hot chocolate.

The candy has a similar bite and melt to a truffle, and the chocolate is good but mild–this is actually a good thing, as it allows the buttery notes of the hazelnut to shine through. A nice treat, and a little above average.
