Advantages: Chocolates with a Romantic Touch

Disadvantages: One just isn't enough! Contains nuts.

With Valentine's day loomimg her is one way to woo your loved one!
Here goes!
*************

We are told that we should tell our loved ones daily that we love them. Easy to say perhaps but do we mean it? If they give me a box of Baci then I know they do!

“You may only be one person to the world, but you may also be the world to one person”. An Asian proverb quoted on a little slip of paper inside a Baci chocolate. A chocolate we are told, that is wrapped in love. Just right for Valentines Day, so if you haven’t bought your loved one something nice – DO IT QUICKLY! Or just treat them anyway, these are a lovely present and the equivalent of a kiss!

I only had a tube containing 6 chocolates – but you can buy bigger boxes! My tube is red with gold stars and has name BACI and Nestle logo, it is nicely curved at one end, very stylish. There is a picture of the delicious chocolate and the little message. On the back clear nutritional values are stated and a little about the actual chocolates.

Baci ( pronounced with an Italian accent should sound like Bar-Chee) is named after the Italian word for KISSES and has helped people express their love since they were created in Perugia in 1922. As you un-wrap the gold tinfoil with red writing, you smell the lovely dark chocolate, and see the message inside the wrapper. There is a message of love that will touch any heart – according to the box! Friends, relatives and lovers alike. Of course the chocolate is special too and as I bite into my second one I will describe the sensation.

I nearly popped it in whole, because my mouth is just big enough! It is 3cm in diameter and is dome shaped to a height of 2.5cm. -( the chocolate not my mouth! )but I bit into the chocolate to check its filling. There is a very wafer biscuit cup filled with a chocolaty hazelnut aerated filling. Similar to Aero but more dense with a whole roasted hazelnut sitting on top. The whole sweet is covered in a good layer of rich dark chocolate.

Mmmm. Delicious a lovely dark chocolate flavour mingles with the delicate hazelenut filling and although the wafer biscuit is really thin there is a lovely flavour plus the crunch of the nut. A good all rounded mixture of flavours and textures.

A tasty treat, but I found I needed another one just to get more of the flavour! It is very light and not sickly at all, as some rich chocolates are. Although we are discouraged from listing
ingredients I discovered the layer of chocolate is described as a blend of milk and plain, and the ingredients all sound very natural, except for the emulsifier – no nasty E additives. There are 20% of Hazelnuts using both whole and ground. There are 59 cals in a sweet and 3.9g of fat for those of you on diets. Obviously no good if you don’t like nuts or have an allergy, but as a way of saying “I LOVE YOU” then it’s definitely top of my list. These were a gift but I think they are about £1.20 a packet of six.

Another message says, “Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile!”

Some people say chocolates are better than sex! I'm off for a "snogging session " with my box of Baci! As I sing "A kiss is just a Kiss!"

Summary: A chocolate to spoil someone with, with little messages.
