Feodora's Cocktail Special - A symbol of Germany
Chocolate lovers or should I say my chocolate blog lovers, sorry for not updating any chocolaty posts for so freaking long.Here's the follow up of my friend's chocolate souvenirs from Germany. Enjoy!
I would say Feodora really has a good representation of Germany, at least German chocolates.
Every version of Feodora chocolate is well inspired by an unique charm.
I haven't had the privilege to try all of them but I guess Cocktail special is one of its best as they normally don't compile different cocktail bites into a lovely edition.
FEODORA's COCKTAIL SPECIAL
Drool chocolate lovers, drool!
Initially, I would love to introduce CHERRY EGG FLIP.
If you take a reasonably greedy first bite, like I did, you will get to experience two lovely layers of dark chocolate sandwiching an alcohol soaked cherry, I suppose it is Brandy. The juicy "alcoholic" cherry flows in between the gaps of space between bits of chocolates as you melt them with warmth. Great texture, all in a reasonably greedy bite!
There are something I would love to call the trios or the three musketeers.
Feodora's chocolate truffles namely Dark Chocolate truffle, White Chocolate with Champaign, Milk Chocolate truffle. All are michievous rum lovers! :D
I picked the one in the middle as I haven't had my very glass of champaign for ages so picking it redeems my memory in one way.
This little piece of ornament reminds me of a King's crown, or a breadmaker's headpiece to make it less royal.
Okay, this one is really comforting only when it comes to the middle part for me as I was expecting a direct taste of white chocolate. I understand how it never really is that strong though as it was accompanied with dark chocolate and the campaign filling in the middle really covers everything.
However, I am not disappointed at this as the combination is well done.
Curacao....
Its shiny surface tempts me even more but I sort of have a perfect hypothesis of how it taste like which I didn't hesitate to test.
Well, the outer layer of dark chocolate is firm, bitter and sweet strongly protecting the rum inside of its heart.
Break its heart, and you'll get to have rum gushing out from it and they match very well with its entire body.
A bitter sweet bliss.... nostalgic!
There is also Cognac which I presumed resembles Curacao. My father tasted it and he mentioned that it is also bittersweet which serves him good as he is cutting low on sugar.
Next, we have dark and milk chequed chocolate rounds. HAHA, sorry for being so uncultured when it comes to explaining chocolate types and shapes or sizes, I really have to work on it.
Well, it is the usual milk chocolate we have here but its texture like the rest of other goodies in the box is rather firm and it is not extremely creamy but it is good for chocolate lovers who prefer a less sinful encounter.
An entire piece of bittersweet journey for this dark chocolate version of the same category.
The elegantly dainty sticks below which is half wrapped with gold wrappers has the same taste and texture of the chocolate above which were shaped in round. A nice break between cocktail picks.
Milk and Dark chocolate sticks.
Lastly, I have to introduce everyone's favorite which is Almond Crisp.
I proudly mentioned that it is everyone's favorite not because I want to generalize everyone's taste but it falls between being too plain(solely milk or dark chocolate) and too strong(rum filled) and it is extremely crispy.
It caters very satisfying nutty bites....tempts me to get the second piece of it right after my first.
In a "chocolateshell", this is a must try for rum and chocolate lovers. Enjoy!
