Ickx Dark Chocolate Ganache with Chocolate Pearls Slice, 1 kg

Yummmm!I was searching for a cherry chocolate as my usual favourites from hotel chocolat are not available!!! I think I’ve found a winner here!The outside dark chocolate is crisp and inside the ganache is soft and smooth with a yummy cherry hidden inside!I would say these are more for lovers of dark chocolate as it can be a bit rich but i love that you only need to eat one to feel satisfied and feel like you’ve had a treat! You can definitely taste the alcohol which I love but can understand some of the other reviews who say it can be a little overpowering but I love them!Only down side is the size of the box! I tookA gamble buying 1kg but in my desperation for a good cherry chocolate I took the risk! I’m so pleased I did.

These came in a plain white box. They taste quite bland, could not taste of any strawberry at all. The best before date is only one month away fron date of purchase. There's a white residue on the outside of the chocolates, I'm guessing this is due because they are nearly out of date. They look fancy but taste like cheap chocolates. What a big disappointment.

Each of these big chocs weighs about 22 grams and has a very thick bittersweet dark chocolate shell decorated on the top with a pretty design 2 red cherries attached to milk chocolate stalks. Inside is a very rich and unctuous dark chocolatey alcohol ganache with a small kirsch soaked cherry in the middle. Unfortunately the boozy cherry whilst tasty is almost an afterthought, being almost completely overwhelmed by the predominant powerful cocoa combination of the shell and ganache.This is the second type of Ickx I have tried and a very thick outer chocolate shell, especially on the top is common to both. For me the emphasis should be on the filling inside, with a light chocolate shell as an introduction to the delights to follow after the shell is broken.

I felt a bit dubious buying these, as there were no previous reviews. However we have since eaten most of them and can say they really are lovely chocolates. The chocolate is thick and the coffee centre is smooth and not too over powering. They are good quality chocolates and I can eat no more than 3 at a time ( which is good because it makes them last a lot longer!)

These chocolates are gorgeous. We've ordered some in the past that seem to have a lots of sugar granules in them but these are just really moreish and delicious. One review said you feel satisfied after one .. not us!!!! I'd definitely order again .. my worry is there's only two of us and there's a kilo of them!!!!

bit squashed n cherry mising form top of few stuck on grease proof protective film. taste ok , packed so the cherry dec is all messed up,was pretty warm weather , very yum

Bought two boxes for a present for my mum she loves these chocolates. Only had a sell by date of a month. Chocolates where white, old and did not taste very nice. Buy from another seller to get quality chocolates not old ones........

Arrived in goodish condition, a few were broken, but i ate them anyway. Very dark, good ganache and a beautiful rich cherry in the centre. Very rich, could eat one at a sitting.
