We love our delicious hamper ingredients equally, but if we had to pick a stand out it would be our chocolate-coated raspberries.
An absolute team favourite and featured in many of our best-selling hampers, this delicious little chocolate treat is a favourite for several reasons:
- Flavour combination: The sweet and slightly tart flavour of raspberry jubes pairs perfectly with the rich and creamy taste of milk chocolate. The contrasting flavours create a delicious balance that many people find irresistible - ok, we find it irresistible.
- Texture contrast: The soft and chewy texture of the raspberry jube complements the smooth and velvety texture of chocolate. The combination of the two textures adds a delightful sensory experience to each bite.
- Visual appeal: They look super cute decanted, which makes them the perfect addition to a hamper, and when decanted and shared with guests they can provide a surprise taste sensation. As opposed to more traditional chocolate treats like chocolate-coated nuts. Cut them in half and the vibrant red colour of raspberries against the glossy, brown chocolate coating creates an attractive and visually appealing treat.
- Health benefits: Raspberries are known for their nutritional value but alas ours are raspberry jubes. However, we do believe that when coated in delicious creamy milk chocolate for a hot minute, they make all your worries go away...
- Indulgence factor: Chocolate-coated raspberries can be seen as a luxurious and indulgent treat. The combination of the fruity freshness of raspberries and the decadence of chocolate creates a sense of indulgence and satisfaction.
Overall, the combination of flavours, textures, visual appeal, and the indulgent nature of chocolate-coated raspberries makes them a popular choice among chocolate lovers.
