Chocolate Buck’s Fizz Candles (Waitrose) By @Cinabar

I hope all our readers have had good safe Christmas this year. We may not have seen family as much as usual but I hope you all managed to have a good day and open a few prezzies. One stocking filler I’ve had are these Chocolate Buck’s Fizz Candles from Waitrose. Our local Waitrose is closing at the end of they year so I sort of realise this will be the last time we get Christmas treats from them.

These are a Heston item but aren’t too weirdly flavoured. They are pretty to look at and topped with an almond flamer. The coating is a creamy white chocolate and the filling is a bucks fizz truffle. I assumed it would have been an orange with champagne and white chocolate flavour but the dominant taste was dark chocolate with a hint of booze and touch of orange. The flavour could have been so much more zingy with the orange but essentially It was mainly dark chocolate, not an ingredient in a Bucks Fizz at all. The flavours worked but I’m not sure they quite did the Bucks Fizz part for me. Ah well, still tasty. Merry Christmas everyone!
