This is a strange one. My mother got handed these by either a friend or a promotional person while at Crufts - and I was told only that they were 'too strong' so they made it to me.
Weirdly they also showed up in my local Italian Deli this week - at £4.99 a box!
For £1 each you get 5 little shots of Espresso - wrapped in Ferrero chocolate - so you don't have to stand by the counter and drink a lovely real shot anymore!
I'm not sure why the chocolate maker hasn't partnered with a big name coffee place - but I do like Arabica so I gave them a go.
The bit that protects the coffee from escaping inside is a really weird crystally texture, and the coffee doesn't have that much of a richness to it - but otherwise it's fine. It's like the odd coffee liquor chocolates that I used to be given as presents, but without the alcohol.
And it did perk me up, and put me in a decent mood for the rest of the day, but now it's 6pm and I'm flagging.
Think I'd rather have one of the famous (locally anyway) Italian Deli sandwiches instead, but these will not go to waste.
