While at the oddly named Resorts World (it's just some shops & restaurants) near Birmingham Airport for my sister's birthday party I popped in the Lindt shop. You got a discount if you made it up to 300g on the Lindor Pick & Mix - so I did!
I think this cost us £10, but compared to the lower weight values is a lot more cost-effective. It's always more expensive than their pre-selected boxes. That said - 6 weeks later we still have some left for late-night treats so it's been a good choice.
Origianlly I was going to take pictures of the different flavours as we ate them, here we have Macha & Pistachio versions!
but they all look the same!
Some have different coloured middles
The mango one almost looks fruity in the middle and has a white outer
As do the cookies & cream and Strawberries & cream ones
Some are a little quirkier
This is a carrot umbrella - awesome - it's solid chocolate however and almost certainly cost twice as much as the light fondant balls. Darn.
Flo was oddly interested, but cats don't get chocolate!
So overall - they all taste like the thing they are supposed to taste like - Lindt's Lindor have always managed that. And there are a few new favourites, but there isn't quite as much variety in the flavours - it's either deep flavours like coffee or fruity ones. I think I'd like more ferero roche style ones with layered textures too - although those would probably raise the weight pretty fast too.
I got to try some of the chunkier ones which was nice.
These unfairly were almost last in the bag, but their rich, nutty textures were probably the most interesting of the lot. More like a cube from a chocolate box than a Lindor really.
definitely something I'd buy a slab/box of in the future for older relatives that like it a little nuttier.
Overall though decent value (while not cheap). As a nice after-dinner nightly treat these were a lovely little luxury.
