the sweet scrapbook

At the beginning of last month I bought quite a few Halloren products. When I visited their website to learn a little more about them, I found that they also make Bohme and Laroshell. I discovered Laroshell's alcohol-filled chocolates at the beginning of 2003 and I thought they were quite nice. It didn't take me long before I went through all Laroshell products that were available here. And then I moved on, there were other things to try. But recently I saw something that wasn't available here before - though it was listed (unfortunately, without a picture, so I didn't make the connection at first) on halloren.de among the Laroshell products. It was the Laroshell Obstbrande assortment box.

The box contains fruit brandy filled chocolates with sugar crust and hazelnuts. There are 32 chocolates in the 400g box. They are made with four types of fruit brandy fillings and there are three types of chocolate used: dark chocolate, milk chocolate and higher cocoa content milk chocolate. They don't say what type of chocolate they use for each filling... so the associations I've made come strictly from the way I've felt them... and I couldn't feel much (I'll explain that a little later). It was obvious that the Williams Pear Brandy was in regular milk chocolate and I'm pretty sure that the Black Forest Cherry Brandy was in dark chocolate. I think that the Black Forest Plum Brandy was in higher cocoa content milk chocolate, but I'm highly unsure about the Raspberry Brandy. Was this higher cocoa content milk chocolate as well?

I first discovered Haagen-Dazs in May 2008. The flavours we get here are most of those that can be found in Germany. I tried nine flavours (Cookie Dough Chip, Cookies & Cream, Dulce de Leche, Pralines & Cream, Macadamia Nut Brittle, Vanilla Caramel Brownie, Choc Choc Chip, Baileys and Belgian Chocolate) and they were all good. My favourites were the Baileys (sadly, this one has disappeared from our supermarkets since) and Belgian Chocolate.
