Had some Haigh's truffles on Saturday... hmm... what should I say? The truffles were in a ballotin and wrapped in Haigh's gold wrapping paper. I tasted a white chocolate lemon flavoured truffle as well as a milk/dark champagne truffle. Very very average. I didn't pay for the truffles so I don't know if it is balanced against the cost, but I've had a lot better even packaged in a retail box!
Definitely didn't taste as if it was made using fresh cream, but rather some cream compound... Maybe we got a bad batch?
I'll rate it 2/5 as I suspect it cost a lot of moola!

3D chocolate printer made from LEGO

I don't know if I should blog it from the Chocolate blog or not! An engineering feat! Using Lego to build a chocolate printer!? I want one... Will... where are you? Surely you have some Lego somewhere?

Yum! Rusty and Nat brought us a bar of Lindt Grandes Noisettes from Switzerland. Talk about yum! I love hazelnut chocolates as long as it's not too sweet. The dark chocolate was the perfect fit. Now... does this version exist in Australia?

I've had the milk version which is great, but this is heaps yummier!

I rate this one a 5 out of 5

PS. For whatever reason GOOD quality chocolate never makes me want to eat too much of it!? Well I can stop and just savour the taste from the one or two pieces I break off rather than gorging on the whole bar! Or maybe I'm just maturing... and getting old! WAAAHHHHH!

In praise of chocolate business cards... (plasticbag.org)

I agree with this blog entry ! But then I'm prejudiced since Custom Chocolates does exactly this type of thing. Customising chocolates for corporates to give away as gifts, in the shape of business cards or a logo!
