The gift set is beautifully decorated in a posh red box adorned with ribbon. I actually felt a little guilty opening it up as it wasn’t a special occasion but in the time of UK Lockdown v2 enjoying the selection while catching up on Netflix is still an important occasion to savour. Inside the box I started on the marzipan toped with walnuts, after all the shop is called Walnut Tree and I love nuts! This sweet is sparkling with a sugar glaze too. The marzipan is not too firm, and not at all bitter. This is a smooth and mild marzipan and was delicious.
The glazed cherries were so lovely and sweet and reminded me of cocktails topped with cherries. Thankfully there were quite a few in the box to munch on.
The real star of the selection box are the four individually wrapped bars of nougat in the centre. There were two with nuts, one with strawberries and this absolutely beautiful one with chocolate and nuts. It was soft and the nuts gave texture, the dark chocolate was beautiful too.
What a wonderful selection of fruit and nut treats. Everything in it was gorgeous, Yes it would make a wonderful traditional Christmas gift but don’t over look buying a box as a treat for sharing during a night in.
