Gingerbread Spiced Caramels (Waitrose) By @SpectreUK

I'm always excited at this time of year to see what new and innovative seasonal snacks are available. Well, these Gingerbread Spiced Caramels from Waitrose sound like a proper Christmas treat. They are cocoa dusted milk chocolate truffles with caramel, gingerbread spices and sel de Guérande (or special sea salt). They sound very posh, but what do they taste like?

 

On opening the box there were quite a few cocoa dusted salty chocolate balls inside the inner bag. On initial bite the first dusted milk chocolate shell shattered in my mouth to produce a luxurious chocolate and sweet salted caramel flavour from the runny caramel inside. Very flavoursome and moreish, these ginger spiced caramels had an additional lightly spicy gingerbread flavour to all that runny salted caramel. The cocoa dusted outer milk chocolate shell added further flavour to those sweet and salty caramel and ginger spices, to round off these chocolate truffles perfectly. Yum.
