Advantages: Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous

Disadvantages: pricey pricey pricey

I'm still suffering in the land of diet, but I might have caved last night and eaten a few of these after some idiot bought them...I can resist some chocolates, but not these...I adore Lindt chocolate, especially their milk chocolates, because they are just so rich and creamy tasting they are hard to beat...well worth the extra cost if you ask me. These are smooth round chocolate truffles filled with soft melty milk chocolate inside. Chocgasm!


The packaging

Lindt has a classy image and the muted red, white and gold boxes these come in fit that image nicely...they are slightly Christmassy, but not garishly so. The chocolates themselves are further wrapped in old fashioned wrappers with twists at either side...probably not the best for the environment, but they suit Lindt's image well.


The taste

Oh. My. God. This has to be the best thing I've ever had in my mouth (don't even think about saying it). The coating is rich, creamy and smooth, very milky tasting chocolate, and biting into the center, it gets even better. The filling is gooey, soft and buttery, deliciously creamy and not too sweet. This is the thing I love about Lindt...their milk chocolates are very rich on the creamy milk taste and aren't sickly sweet like a lot of chocolates. After a few of these you will begin to feel slightly chocolated out, however.

The review is of the milk chocolate variety, but you can also get dark chocolate (quite nice but a bit heavy on the cocoa, especially in the soft centre, for my liking), white chocolate (far too sweet and sickly) and hazelnut (just like milk chocolate but with a nutty hint to them).


The damage

At £3.46 for 200g, these are pretty expensive. Personally I think they are worth it for a treat because the quality of the chocolate is just lovely...these are great for buying at Christmas (as well as birthdays, halloween and any day that ends in Y). Lindor also comes in bar form for £1.98...also pretty damned pricey, especially if you scarf the lot in one go, as I tend to do.


If you havent tried these and you are a fan of chocolate, I suggest you give them a try now, they are just gorgeous, the best chocolate I have ever tasted...I think Willy Wonka works in their factory.

Summary: Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
