Mmm......Chocolate

[Blue Rose]

After watching The Apprentice final the other night where they had to make chocolates, it got me thinking about when I used to have my own choccie shop.

In the show Yasmina came up with strawberry & basil. I've tried some wierd & wonderful flavoured truffles myself, some favourites being milk ganache with coriander & tropical fruit; apple strudel; dark chocolate ganache with aniseed, lemon & almond pieces.

Bars of chocolate have included milk with nutmeg; dark with mango & chili; dark with strawberry & black pepper; milk with lavender.

What's the wierdest flavour you've tried?

I think M&S do a white bar with coconut. There's also a brand called Swiss Delice that do that as well.

If you like milk choccie, Sainsburys do the most delicious bar with a coconut cream. Plus their NewTree range is the milk bar with lavender mmmm

I had a lovely box of truffles and my fave was the pineapple one

I had one, it was chocolate and salt, sounds horrible, but it was lovely. The salt was a bit like you get in the "Seriously Strong" cheese, not hard and gritty.

I had chocolate with bergamot once, tasted like Earl Grey tea.
